Lenovo officially released the Lenovo Morningstar Metaverse Platform, a software platform independently developed by Lenovo Research Institute Shanghai Branch
On June 26, at the 2024 Shanghai MWC conference, Lenovo officially released the software platform independently developed by the Shanghai branch of Lenovo Research Institute - Lenovo Morningstar Metaverse Platform (Daystar World). The release of this platform product is another major breakthrough for Lenovo in the field of the metaverse, demonstrating its leading position in artificial intelligence and virtual reality fusion technology.
Build + operate, innovate the metaverse platform
Lenovo Morningstar Metaverse Platform is a metaverse content and business building platform based on cutting-edge technologies such as computer vision and generative artificial intelligence (AIGC). Through the joint research of industry, academia and research, Lenovo Morningstar Metaverse platform has broken through industry problems such as high-fidelity 3D reconstruction of the physical world, three-dimensional digital base plate construction, simulation prediction, virtual and real interaction and linkage, and created the first domestic software and hardware integrated metaverse platform with multi-core capabilities.
According to reports, the metaverse platform can be dragged and dropped to build a fast low-code metaverse space, and can also be linked with self-developed equipment (Lenovo Morningstar XR glasses, robots, smart cameras, etc.) to form an end-to-end solution delivery to realize a series of functions such as robot deployment simulation, XR content orchestration, AI detection, and digital twins.
At the press conference, the staff demonstrated the powerful functions of the platform, through the simple operation interface, users can quickly build complex virtual scenes and interact with physical devices.
Low-cost, high-fidelity 3D reconstruction
For customers with digital twin needs, 3D models take a long time to make and are expensive, which is also a major threshold for the development of metaverse applications. In response to this problem, Lenovo Morningstar Metaverse platform is based on AIGC technology to achieve low-cost, high-fidelity 3D reconstruction. By quickly digitally building the physical environment and using multi-source heterogeneous data to realize the unified invocation of different devices and application scenarios, the problem of high cost and single function of the metaverse is solved. This allows the platform to be used flexibly in a variety of environments and applications to provide efficient and reliable 3D reconstruction services.
Simplified business deployment and simulation
In terms of business deployment and simulation, the metaverse platform is the first in the industry to put forward the concept of building scenarios in a pure virtual space. The entire deployment process only requires a set of low-code business building tools, which implements complex business processes through simple operations, greatly reducing the threshold for enterprises to use. With the accumulation of experience in a large number of practical projects, we have also formed a scenario package for automotive, education, manufacturing and other scenarios, containing a large number of industry models, which can help users greatly reduce the number of modeling and quickly build scenarios.
Innovation of virtual and real linkage
Combined with the advantages of Lenovo's self-developed hardware, the platform supports access to multiple types of smart devices to realize the linkage deployment of the physical world and the virtual world. Virtual tasks can be directly delivered to real devices for execution, and twin display is carried out, enhancing the experience of virtual and real interaction. This innovation enables companies to simulate and test in the virtual world to ensure the best results in real-world deployments, while improving the safety and accuracy of operations.
At the exhibition site, Lenovo demonstrated that the platform can quickly model the display area, set up working points and algorithms in the twin model, and link Lenovo Morningstar foot robot GS to simulate and perform inspection tasks. As long as the explainer issues the path in the system, the robot will execute the task according to the preset route and send back the collected data in real time, and the running track of the robot can also be seen in the twin at the same time.
The AIGC-based 3D reconstruction, virtual and real linkage with equipment, inspection data return and intelligent analysis capabilities demonstrated in this demo have been successfully applied to multiple robot intelligent inspection projects of the two power grids, greatly reducing the time and manpower investment in deployment.
Wide range of applications and successful cases
Lenovo Morningstar Metaverse platform provides core capability services such as 3D reconstruction, digital human, digital twin, simulation deduction, and cloud rendering, as well as metaverse construction and business operation tools. By connecting robots, XR, smart cameras and other devices, it realizes the functions of virtual-real integration, virtual-real mapping, virtual-real linkage, and multi-user virtual-real interaction, helping customers quickly build and deploy metaverse application solutions.
At present, the platform has set up a number of benchmark users in the five major fields of energy, manufacturing, cultural tourism, education, cities and parks, including State Grid Power, Geely Lotus, Shanghai Natural History Museum, China Southern Power Grid, etc., forming a good market depth and customer relationship. These success stories fully demonstrate the wide applicability and powerful functions of Daystar World in different fields, and lay a solid foundation for further expansion in the future.
