About Magic

MAGIC Lab is affiliated with Shanghai University and the Shanghai Film Special Effects Engineering Research Center (a provincial/ministerial-level center), with Dr. Mengtian Li serving as the Principal Investigator (PI). We focus on a series of research areas within AI & EI for Art. Our goal is to empower the development and innovation of artistic fields such as film, theater, gaming, and cultural entertainment through Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Embodied Intelligence (EI) technologies. The laboratory's research directions include:

  1. Digital Content Understanding and Generation for Film, Theater, Gaming, and Cultural Entertainment:

    • Scenes: Understanding and generating artistic scenes and objects of various scales in accordance with script narratives and artistic aesthetics.
    • Humans: Creating various types of virtual characters based on all human attributes such as motion, expressions, language, and emotion.
    • Others: Understanding and generating content for the pre-production, production, and post-production stages of film, theater, and game production (e.g., scriptwriting, previsualization, shooting, sound, lighting, editing, color grading, publicity, etc.).
  2. Human-Computer Interaction (e.g., intelligent film sets, intelligent theaters, intelligent cultural tourism, interactive games): Collaborating with relevant teams from the Shanghai Film Academy, Shanghai Theatre Academy, and Fudan University to explore embodied machine intelligence perception/interaction systems for artistic application scenarios.

  3. AI & EI Artistic Creation: Collaborating with MFA (Master of Fine Arts) students specializing in directing/screenwriting within the lab to empower artistic creation with technology, exploring the emergence of new art forms (e.g. AIGC Film).

MAGIC隶属于上海大学,上海电影特效工程研究中心(省部级),实验室负责人(PI)是李梦甜博士。我们专注AI & EI for Art领域的系列研究。我们的目标是让人工智能和具身智能技术,赋能影视、戏剧、游戏、文旅等艺术领域的发展和创新。实验室的研究方向包括:

  1. 面向影视、游戏、戏剧、文旅、非遗等领域的数字内容理解与生成

    • 研究场景,对不同尺度的艺术场景、道具物体进行符合剧本叙事和艺术美学的理解与生成;
    • 研究角色,根据剧情需要,从角色的动作、表情、语音、情感等属性制作各种类型的互动角色;
    • 一些工具链,对影视、游戏、戏剧制作的前期、中期、后期(如剧本、预演、拍摄、声音、灯光、剪辑、调色、宣发等)实现降本增效。
  2. 人机交互(如智能片场、智能剧场、智能文旅、交互游戏等),探索人与艺术应用场景的具身机器智能感知/交互系统。

  3. AI&EI 艺术创作(对MFA艺术硕士),用技术赋能艺术创作,尝试催生新的艺术形式(如 AIGC Film,新型AI装置艺术)。
