Presentation
Sponsored Keynote by Tripo AI: Dr. Yanpei Cao, Chief Scientist, The Teapot Test: First It Tested Showing. Now It Tests Making.
DescriptionThe future of interactive media requires a fundamental shift: Moving from manually crafted environments to worlds generated on the fly by the imaginations of millions. Tripo’s core mission is to make this massive-scale, user-generated creation a reality. But to unlock this, we must rethink the entire generative pipeline, spanning from robust individual asset generation to the simulation of completely dynamic environments.
In this deep-dive keynote, Tripo’s chief scientist and research scientists will share the unvarnished journey of building a generative ecosystem from the ground up. We will explore how Tripo scaled from preliminary fundamental research to a robust infrastructure currently serving millions of creators.
The panel will first trace the rapid evolution of the generative landscape by dissecting Tripo’s full-stack approach to 3D generation. Through live demonstrations, the team will highlight key breakthroughs in geometry, topology, texturing, and rigging. These showcases will detail how we are bridging the gap between fundamental AI and graphics research and production-ready pipelines.
However, generating individual assets is only half the equation. To unlock truly interactive user-generated content, the field is rapidly expanding into Generative World Models. The team will share our latest research in this space and explain why we believe World Models will serve as the core engine for next-generation content. Because they simulate physics, dynamics, and continuous interaction without being strictly bound by traditional spatial constraints, these models offer a fundamentally new way to create. Through our latest demos, we will showcase what happens when AI steps beyond creating isolated objects and begins simulating living realities.
Speakers:
Dr. Yanpei Cao, Chief Scientist, Tripo AI
Dr. Yuanchen Guo, Research Scientist, Tripo AI; Dr. Zixin Zou, Research Scientist, Tripo AI; Dr. Yingtian Liu, Research Scientist, Tripo AI; Dr. Biao Zhang, Research Scientist, Tripo AI are lead research scientists at Tripo, with Dr. Zhang also serving as a professor at Xi’an Jiaotong University. Together, they architect the fundamental science and production infrastructure behind Tripo’s full-stack Generative AI platform. Their collective research focuses on overcoming the industry’s hardest generative bottlenecks, directly translating foundational AI breakthroughs into robust, production-ready creator tools. As active open-source contributors and frequent authors in top-tier venues like SIGGRAPH, their work drives the core models that serve millions of creators globally.
