PhysWorld: Integrating Physical Properties in Natural World Creation
National Research Foundation, PI
The grant was awarded on 12/02/2025 (S$ 3,078,720.00), and started on 01/09/2025 and will end on 30/08/2030.
The aim of PhysWorld is to create a realistic natural world adhering to physical principles, rather than dealing with only the realistic pixels as in traditional image, video, and 3D synthesis. Physics-based natural world creation is challenging because it requires a holistic interpretation of scenes and objects within it, including but not limited to appearance, geometry, materials, occlusion, motion, gravity, interaction, mass and sound.
