Experience AI-powered Studio-level Portrait
Photography on the New HONOR 200 Series
PARIS, May 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Global technology
brand HONOR has made its debut today at VivaTech, one of
Europe's largest tech and
innovation events. During its keynote, HONOR showcased its
innovative approach to on-device AI and unveiled its pioneering
Four-layered AI Strategy. HONOR also announced upcoming Gen-AI
experiences with Google Cloud, which are set to be featured on its
anticipated smartphones, opening up exciting possibilities for
enhancing user experiences.
"At HONOR, we firmly believe that, by combining the power of
on-device AI's personalization, intuitiveness, and privacy
protection, everyone can unlock the full potential of AI safely and
securely," said George Zhao, CEO
of HONOR Device Co., Ltd. "We are also delighted to forge ahead
with Google Cloud, leveraging our combined expertise to unlock the
potential of this hybrid approach and deliver even more seamless AI
experiences to our users."
Introducing HONOR's Four-Layer AI Architecture
During the keynote, HONOR unveiled its Four-Layer AI
Architecture and demonstrated its strategic focus on integrating AI
into MagicOS. This Four-Layer Architecture comprises distinct
layers. At the base layer, Cross-device and Cross-OS AI form the
foundation of an open ecosystem, which allows the sharing of
computing power and services among devices and operating systems.
Building upon this foundation, the Platform-level AI layer enables
a personalized operating system, allowing intent-based
human-computer interaction and personalized resource allocation. At
the third layer, App-level AI is poised to introduce a wave of
innovative, generative AI applications that will revolutionize user
experiences. Lastly, at the top, the Interface to Cloud-AI services
layer provides users with easy access to massive cloud services
while prioritizing privacy protection, creating a truly holistic
and future-forward AI experience.
As part of MagicOS 8.0, Magic Portal is the industry's first
intent-based UI, which understands user behavior and streamlines
complex tasks into single-step processes. Currently, Magic Portal
supports 100 top applications across seven scenarios, including
travel, productivity, messaging, search, entertainment, shopping,
and social media, with plans to expand usage scenarios to provide
even more seamless and intelligent AI experiences in the
future.
As part of HONOR's Four-Layer Architecture, HONOR is set to
integrate cutting-edge Gen-AI experiences, powered by Google Cloud,
into its upcoming smartphones, promising to deliver a new level of
intelligence and innovation to users with enhanced privacy
protection.
Revolutionizing Portrait Experience with HONOR 200
Series
Following the successful launch of AI Motion Sensing Capture, a
cutting-edge feature that leverages AI to automatically capture
fast-moving actions, HONOR also announced that the upcoming HONOR
200 Series will take mobile photography to new heights with an
all-new AI-enhanced Portrait experience.
The HONOR 200 Series is poised to revolutionize portrait
photography by bringing the mastery of Studio Harcourt, a legendary
French photography studio known for its expertise in capturing
classic portrait shots with iconic figures, to every step of the
process, leveraging AI technology to recreate the iconic studio's
legendary lighting and shadow effects.
By using AI to learn from a vast dataset of Studio Harcourt
portraits, the HONOR 200 Series has successfully broken down the
entire portrait photography process into nine distinct steps, and
perfectly replicates the full Studio Harcourt method, ensuring
flawless and studio-quality portraits with every shot.
The HONOR 200 Series is set to launch in Paris on June
12, powered by MagicOS 8.0, further solidifying HONOR's
commitment to democratizing AI technology. In a move to make AI
more accessible to a wider audience, HONOR also announced plans to
roll out MagicOS 8.0 to its HONOR Magic V2 and HONOR 90 devices,
empowering more users to experience the transformative power of
AI.
The Human-AI Synergy: Smart Devices for a Better
Future
At the event, HONOR also hosted an insightful panel discussion
featuring esteemed industry expert Dr. Justine Cassell. The discussion delved into the
future of multimodal interaction, highlighting how this integration
enhances convenience and privacy protection for device users.
"On-device AI can better empower individuals," emphasized
George. "The on-device offers personalized recommendations while
safeguarding user privacy by keeping data on the device. For
instance, HONOR's Magic Portal design ensures users retain control
over service selection and decision-making."
In terms of multimodal interaction, Dr. Justine Cassell noted, "Humans live
multimodally. The rise of on-body devices like rings, and pins,
alongside powerful smartphones, shows growing comfort with AI
integrating verbal language, and nonverbal cues like gestures and
facial expressions. This predicts the adoption of
multimodally-sensitive AI on phones."
"Human-centric is HONOR's design philosophy, with human at the
center of all devices," George envisioned. "Empowered by AI,
cross-device integration can combine the unique advantages of
different devices in the future. Rather than learning user
behaviors in isolation on each device, this approach allows for
macro-level, unified user intent recognition, offering tailored
recommendations and suggestions."
