Inside Experiential AI with Davant Systems
Show Notes
SUMMARY ON EPISODE GUEST:
Davant Systems and Davant Studio, an innovative AI-powered imaging solution that dynamically transforms video and still images into alternate looks. This creative inspiration engine has a wide range of applications for previsualization, content creation, and experiential marketing. Davant Studio empowers creators to produce AI-generated imagery inspired by their physical environments.”
Built upon the open-source Stable Diffusion engine, Davant Studio enables real-time video and still camera feeds to be used as prompt inputs for generative AI workflows. Users can connect cameras to their computers to transform shots of actors, props, and sets into AI-generated images of cartoon worlds, alien avatars, futuristic societies, and more. The Davant Studio interface has intuitive settings for balancing prompt strength, imagination strength and seed selection, as well as to save presets.
Davant Systems’ President, Grant Keller, and Technical Director, David Shorey, have been previewing their solution since late 2022 at dozens of tradeshows and creator conferences, receiving positive reactions and feedback that has been incorporated into this beta release. An early use case for the software was an AI-powered interactive photo booth for experiential marketing events. But Shorey, a visual effects artist, photographer and pioneer in 3D printing, was compelled to develop Davant Studio to bolster his own artistic endeavors. Shorey often performs public demos showing how physical art objects, such as sculptures, can be input to Davant Studio through a camera feed and digitally transformed into a variety of concepts.
