The smart contact lenses for human-machine interaction (HMI) track eye movements and can be used for health care and augmented reality (AR) applications. They work on radio frequencies. The chip-free and battery-free lenses employ the frequency encoding strategy and successfully detect eye movement and closure. The high angular accuracy of the lenses enables eye command recognition, which can be helpful for robot control.
Researchers developed a prototype headset that looks and feels like a typical pair of glasses. Combining holographic imaging and artificial intelligence (AI) to project full-color, 3D images directly onto the lenses creates a vivid augmented experience that is both lightweight and stylish, suitable for continuous wear. The dual approach not only enhances the 3D effect but also increases the overall life-like quality of the images.
Elon Musk inaugurated the Starlink satellite internet service in Indonesia, the world's biggest archipelago, from Bali. The service intends to improve connectivity in remote places, primarily aiding the health and education sectors. During Musk's visit, he tested Starlink's speed and signed an agreement to increase internet access in Indonesia's underserved regions.
While many high schools limit AI use, Princeton High School students employ a generative AI robot to save an endangered language. Other schools concentrate on AI for wildlife conservation and accessibility. Educators are concerned about AI integration, yet they feel it is the future. Some people utilise AI for assignments and grading. Despite the debate, artificial intelligence is influencing students' lives and preparing them for the future.
Using open source software does not entitle you to a vote on the direction of the project. The gift you've received is the software itself and the freedom of use granted by the license. That's it, and this ought to be straight forward. Open source is first and foremost a method of collaboration between programmers who show up to do the work. Not an entitlement program for petulant users to get free stuff.
OpenAI has signed a deal for access to real-time content from Reddit’s data API, which means it can surface discussions from the site within ChatGPT and other new products. The deal will also “enable Reddit to bring new AI-powered features to Redditors and mods” and use OpenAI’s large language models to build applications. OpenAI has also signed up to become an advertising partner on Reddit.
The social network formerly known as Twitter has officially changed its name to X.com, redirecting users from twitter.com. Despite Elon Musk's rebranding efforts, the changeover has been inconsistent among browsers. The privacy and data protection settings remain unchanged. Musk intends to turn X into a WeChat-like "everything app," building on his long experience with the x.com domain.
Microsoft will showcase its bespoke Cobalt 100 chips at the Build conference next week, touting 40% faster performance than standard ARM chips. The 128-core CPUs used by Adobe and Snowflake will compete with AWS's Graviton. Microsoft will also offer AMD's MI300X accelerators and disclose lower pricing for large language models. A new real-time intelligence system and Snowflake collaboration will be announced.
A new social network called Maven aims to offer a healthier alternative, inspired by one scientist’s work in artificial intelligence. The platform eschews likes and follows in favor of letting pure chance play more of a role in what appears in users’ feeds. Maven is built around a concept called open-endedness, pioneered by computer scientist and AI researcher Kenneth Stanley.
Jewelers like David Morris, a Bond Street jeweler, are increasingly exploring the technology’s potential to create new worlds in online campaigns. With the help of J11, they created a series of A.I. videos that showed a real model walking through the property and also an Impressionist-style overlay; with each scene, the model wears a different gem, and her mood changes to reflect that color.
