Unreal Engine (UE) is Epic Games' real-time 3D creation platform: a powerful, open-source toolset for developing AAA games, film, and immersive simulation experiences.

Unreal Engine, developed by Epic Games, is the world's most advanced real-time 3D creation tool, driving high-fidelity content across multiple industries. The engine's core is C++, but its Blueprint visual scripting system democratizes development for non-coders. Its latest version, Unreal Engine 5 (UE5), features revolutionary technologies like Nanite (virtualized geometry) and Lumen (dynamic global illumination). Beyond blockbuster games like *Fortnite* and *Hogwarts Legacy*, UE powers virtual production for film (e.g., *The Mandalorian*), architectural visualization, and complex military simulations. The software is free to download; Epic Games implements a 5% royalty only after a product generates $1 million USD in gross revenue.

## Recent Public Talks and Demos

### [Reconstructing Memories with 3D Gaussian Splatting](https://hong-kong.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_zmGEdhKSUks)

The Foundation: Using 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) to recreate real-world environments with hyper-realistic fidelity with PostShot. Showing the PLY file on SuperSplat also showing how ply file structure. Meta SAM 3D: Integrating Meta’s SAM 3D to isolate and create specific 3D objects. Also showing the Spatial Reasoning ability and when it fails. Apple’s SHARP: Using Apple’s SHARP via CLI to transform flat, historical photos into 3D Gaussian volumes, effectively "re-spatializing" the past. Custom code for batch processing and potentially 4D gaussian splatting creation. Marble (World Labs): Implementing Marble (World Labs) to generate synthetic 3D environments that reflects subjective imagination.
