Technical Description:HoloMind is a next-generation, real-time, interactive Large Language Model (LLM) designed to create immersive, dynamic conversations by leveraging virtual and augmented reality inputs alongside traditional text. Built on a
3D Multimodal Transformer Framework (3D-MTF), HoloMind allows users to engage with an AI in a fully spatial, holographic environment where the AI’s responses are shaped not just by textual context but by spatial cues, user gaze, gestures, and environmental elements in real-time.
The HoloMind architecture is developed with the following cutting-edge components:
- 3D Contextual Awareness Engine (3D-CAE): At the core of HoloMind is a 3D-CAE, which fuses language understanding with spatial context. Using inputs from LiDAR, depth-sensing cameras, and VR/AR headsets, the 3D-CAE captures a holistic view of the user’s surroundings, identifying objects, gestures, and locations in real time. It allows HoloMind to "see" and "interpret" the user's environment, adjusting its responses dynamically based on physical context, such as pointing to objects or analyzing the room layout.
- Spatially-Aware Multimodal Encoder (SAME): HoloMind's SAME module combines Vision Transformers (ViTs) for visual inputs, Spatio-Temporal Transformers for motion and gestures, and standard Transformers for textual data. This architecture provides a single embedding space for textual, visual, and motion cues, allowing the model to generate responses that integrate with the real-world environment—enabling contextually appropriate holographic animations, voice inflections, and spatially aware gestures.
- Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback in VR (RLHF-VR): HoloMind employs a variant of RLHF specifically tailored for VR/AR feedback, where evaluators interact with the AI in a simulated environment. This feedback includes ratings for response relevance, appropriateness of holographic visuals, and alignment with spatial cues, optimizing HoloMind's responses for immersive settings.
- Dynamic Memory and Experience Replay Network (DMERN): The DMERN module allows HoloMind to retain user preferences, frequently referenced locations, and previously discussed objects. This memory network employs attention-based indexing and episodic memory replay, making it possible for HoloMind to refer back to spatial contexts or objects from past interactions, improving the continuity of immersive conversations.
- Generative Visual Pipeline (GVP) for Real-Time Holograms: HoloMind includes a neural radiance field (NeRF) pipeline, which generates real-time 3D holographic visuals based on user input and model-generated outputs. For example, if the conversation topic involves the solar system, GVP can generate a holographic representation of planets around the user, synchronizing with the spoken information.
- Cross-Platform Compatibility with VR/AR SDK Integration: HoloMind is designed with compatibility for major VR/AR SDKs, including Unity XR, OpenXR, and ARCore/ARKit, enabling seamless deployment across headsets, mobile AR platforms, and even holographic projectors. This flexibility allows for cross-device interactions, supporting various spatial computing experiences.
- Explainable AI with Interactive Feedback (XAI-IF): In addition to generating responses, HoloMind includes an explainable AI module that displays interactive visualizations of its thought process, making the model’s decisions transparent. By highlighting specific spatial or contextual inputs in the user’s environment, it provides feedback on why certain responses were generated, giving users insight into the AI’s reasoning.
HoloMind is intended for applications in collaborative workspaces, immersive education, and spatial design. Its unique architecture pushes the boundaries of language models into three-dimensional, interactive environments, merging verbal and spatial communication into one integrated experience. By advancing spatially aware conversational AI, HoloMind could redefine user interaction, enabling intelligent, holographically-enhanced environments that respond and adapt to physical context in real time.
