Following the acquisition, the Cinemersive Labs team will join SIE's Visual Computing Group (VCG) and contribute to our broader efforts in advancing state of the art visual computing within games. This includes applying machine learning to enhance gameplay visuals, improve rendering techniques, and unlock new levels of visual fidelity for players.
Dr. Conor Boland explained that red-light timing can erase small speed advantages, allowing a slower car to catch up again and again. He noted, 'You pass a car, and then a few minutes later, it ends up beside you again.' This phenomenon is partly psychological, as we remember surprising moments when the same car shows up again, but it is also built into how traffic works.
'In this paper a novel optical illusion is described in which purple structures (dots) are perceived as purple at the point of fixation, while the surrounding structures (dots) of the same purple colour are perceived toward a blue hue.'
Upload any picture or video, and Musubi uses artificial intelligence to extract the most important part and hover it in space as a 3D image within the frame. That could be a video of a child's first steps or a snapshot of a birthday party. The image will be displayed in 3D form, viewable in all its holographic glory across nearly 170 degrees.
Body agency is a power returned after an incident took it away from the user's physical form, and some wearable devices and technologies have this exact goal in mind.
Looking Glass has been doggedly committed to making holographic displays the next big thing since 2019, and with its new Musubi digital photo frame, it might finally be offering its tech at a price that's hard to deny. Musubi is scheduled to start shipping in June, and unlike the company's previous, more developer-focused kits, the company's new display only costs $149.
The illusion is the latest masterpiece from Olivier Redon, a French-American inventor, who has had his creations used in museums and on TV programmes around the world. For today's puzzles, I present five of Redon's most brilliant images. The challenge is to figure out how he managed to create them.
The glasses, developed over ten years, can guide people living with early-stage dementia through daily activities by identifying everyday objects and providing audio commentary and putting up visual prompts.
"It's not an overstatement to declare another VR winter," said J.P. Gownder, vice president and principal analyst at Forrester. "I think we might even go as far as to say there's only a handful of successful scenarios where people are using VR." This assessment reflects the industry's struggle to find practical applications beyond niche markets.
When we rolled out a custom-built company GPT to our 14,000 teammates several years ago, we saw three clear groups emerge. First, there was the 'jump-in-with-both-feet' crowd. These are the early adopters who treat anything new like a shiny toy. Next were the skeptics who wondered how much of an impact AI would have on their daily work lives. And finally, there was a big group that genuinely wanted to learn but didn't know where to start.
Laboratory safety goggles have finally joined the ranks of smart devices. That's the promise behind LabOS, an AI operating system for scientific laboratories built by the Stanford-Princeton AI Coscientist Team, a group led by Stanford University bioengineer Le Cong and Princeton University computer scientist Mengdi Wang, with founding partners that include NVIDIA. Powered by NVIDIA's vision-language models to process visual data, the system is designed to provide AI with real-time knowledge of lab work so it can determine what causes experiments to fail or succeed and rapidly train new scientists to expert levels by guiding them through experimental protocols.
If this sounds crazy, remember that last month, Watchguard's director of security strategy Corey Nachreiner warned SecurityWatch that Google glass represented an "information goldmine" for both attackers and advertisers. He talked about a sci-fi scenario where Glass could recognize objects in view. "In the future, we're going to have algorithms that will pinpoint things in video automatically," said Nachreiner. This is, more or less, exactly what the Google's gaze tracking patent covers.
There are two types of grants that U.S.-based organizations can apply for: Accelerator Grants for those who are already leveraging our AI glasses to scale their impact, and Catalyst Grants for organizations proposing new, high-impact applications using our Device Access Toolkit. We will award 15 Accelerator Grants of $25,000 and 10 of $50,000 USD, depending on the scale of the project. We'll also award five Catalyst Grants of $200,000. In total, we'll grant nearly $2 million to more than 30 organizations and developers.
Meta plans to add facial recognition to its smart glasses as soon as this year, according to a new report from The New York Times. The feature, internally known as "Name Tag," would allow smart glasses wearers to identify people and get information about them through Meta's AI assistant.
The Motoko's dual first-person-view cameras are positioned at eye level to basically see what you see, enabling real-time object and text recognition - translating street signs, tracking gym reps, summarizing documents on the fly, all of that. There are also dual far and near-field mics, working together to capture voice commands and pick up dialogue within view.
Spending more than 10 hours a week playing video games may begin to affect young people's eating habits, sleep quality, and body weight, according to new research led by Curtin University and published in Nutrition. The study surveyed 317 students from five universities across Australia. Participants had a median age of 20 years, placing the focus squarely on young adults during a key stage of habit formation.
Real estate with ocean views, stunning mountain vistas, and wide-open green spaces sell at premium prices because humans find those settings pleasing [1-5]. Certain color combinations in fashion-such as brown and forest green-blend harmoniously, while others, such as hot pink and orange, clash. And our eyes like certain proportions in visual objects (like buildings and human faces) but not others.
One of the big focuses of the new operating system version is what Pico calls PanoScreen, a feature that lets the wearer run multiple applications at once while also keeping a 360-degree view of the real-world space around them. Other users can pop into the space as 3D avatars while you spin around to see spreadsheets, browser tabs, design software, or whatever else you're working on.
You settle in for a quick scroll through your feed, maybe just to unwind for a minute or two. But somewhere between a cooking hack and a clip you've already forgotten, forty minutes vanished. It's all a blur. Welcome to the era of infinite content and finite attention, where our brains are working overtime just to keep up with the deluge.
Turning a computer monitor from a landscape position to a portrait position may seem odd at first. After all, a horizontal display allows you to see more content on-screen, plus it is a more familiar experience. However, there are certain situations where flipping your screen vertically is genuinely useful. Programmers, for example, often prefer this orientation because it lets them see more lines of code without needing to scroll. Writers, like myself, appreciate this mode, as it makes reading and creating documents easier.
Asus has hit the Consumer Electronics Show show floor with a brand-new set of Extended Reality glasses. Developed in partnership with Xreal, the Asus ROG Xreal R1 packs an impressive amount of technology into a slim frame for your face, allowing you to stream video directly to your eyes via a USB-C connection. Internally, the Asus ROG Xreal R1 features 240Hz micro-OLED 1080p lenses, and it comes with an ROG Control Dock for HDMI and DisplayPort connectivity.
The company is building directly on its major success supplying its waveguide technology to glasses, and proving that geometric waveguides work at consumer scale with standard glass. At CES, Lumus showcased a ZOE prototype with a field of view of more than 70 degrees, an optimized Z-30 with 40% more brightness, and a Z-30 2.0 preview that's 40% thinner. David Goldman, VP of marketing, walked me through each demo with clear enthusiasm about the progress Lumus is making.
When Meta first announced its display-enabled smart glasses last year, it teased a handwriting feature that allows users to send messages by tracing letters with their hands. Now, the company is starting to roll it out, with people enrolled in its early access program getting it first, I got a chance to try the feature at CES and it made me want to start wearing my Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses more often.
