Oculus founder Palmer revealed plans for the next five years: a universal solution for achieving VR motion sickness In a recent Twitter tweet, Palmer Rachi announced his "five-year plan." His goals include five points: in addition to vertical take-off and landing in the air taxi; bringing superhuman-like sensory perception/response to some people; achieving speeds from 0 to 60 in 0.8 seconds; and in some cases, implementation and time In addition to the unpredictable analysis of travel, the first article in the five-year plan of Palmerac is related to virtual reality. The virtual reality pioneer who is always concerned about VR development hopes to develop a universal solution for the "vestibulo-oculular" mismatch. It should be noted that the "oculular" here should be a typo, actually refe

Magical painting version can charge your phone

With a week of raining last week, i missed my friend Nicole. There’s been a long time we haven’t met. So i ringed her, asking her to paint in the park. I took out a paint board with a size of the hand when arriving there. She was curious: “is it new?” “Yeah, it can be used wherever and whenever i want, and it is not only a board for painting.” “So other functions?” “Give me your phone, please.” She surprisingly said: “Without my expectation, it is a mobile battery!” when she gave. Replied happily to her: “It is so nice and out of expectation, isn’t it?” “Exactly! So perfect that i need one.” “It’s glad to recommend it to you.” With smiles to each other, we began to paint. ___________________________________ YIKESHU P28 Power Bank 10000mAh with E-ink Screen 6.5’’ Writing Pad 9.5mm thin Notebook for High-speed Charging Technology for iPhone, Samsung Galaxy and More Electronic paper - Reusable, no ink, no special writing tools, more energy effic

When the dialect meets the AI, will the intelligent voice assistant be defeated by the dialect?

Speech recognition technology has been evolving since the release of IBM's Shoebox and Worlds of Wonder doll Julie doll. By the end of 2018, Google Assistant supports more than 30 different languages. Qualcomm has also developed a speech recognition system that recognizes words and phrases with an accuracy rate of 95%. In addition, Microsoft's intelligent voice service is more accurate and efficient than manual call services. However, although machine learning has made the development of speech recognition technology soaring, these speech recognition systems are still not perfect, and the most serious problem is geographical discrimination. According to a recent study by the Washington Post, popular smart voice assistants developed by Google and Amazon recognize non-US local accents with a 30% lower accuracy than US local accents. Companies like IBM and Microsoft use the Switchboard corpus to reduce the voice assistant's error rate. But it turns out that the

Last Sunday, a very unusual Dota2 game tournament attracted a lot of attention. Dota is a sophisticated real-time strategy game and one of the most popular e-sports projects in the world. One of the teams in the competition has five members, Blitz, Cap, Fogged, Merlini and MoonMeander. Each ranks above 99.95. It can be said that they are one of the best Dota2 players in the world. However, their opponents defeated them in three consecutive games and won the game.A Dota2 game takes about 45 minutes, but the two games ended with 14 points and 21 points. Their opponent is a team of five neural networks developed by Elon Musk's OpenAI company, collectively known as OpenAI 5. Before the game on Sunday, the neural network had a 180-year Dota competition every day, and gradually approached the game. Its creators chose Dota as the goal of OpenAI 5 training to simulate the incredible changes and complex nature of the real world. Dota is a complex game. If artificial intelligence can

How to make "algorithm fairness" part of machine learning?

The rise of big data and artificial intelligence has brought a lot of convenience to our lives. When we open the news client, we are no longer seeing the same editorial recommendation, but the news that the AI ​​engine carefully prepares after learning about our daily preferences. When we open the e-commerce app, we no longer see what the merchant wants. What to sell, but what we want to buy; when we open the travel website, we are no longer seeing the overwhelming travel classics but the tailored travel routes for us. But at the same time, it also brings us some hidden worries - because everyone sees different content, will AI sell me more expensive products, or push more opinions to me? In fact, this is entirely possible. There is even a proper term in the country to describe this phenomenon as “big data killing”. But sometimes, the algorithm not only determines the price of the goods and the content of the push. As artificial intelligence is applied to public areas s

Lufthansa recently tested new technology on its flight, using VR glasses to provide passengers with a VR experience. On flights to Dubai, Lufthansa offers the VR Moving Map experience to users, and testing techniques are feasible. VR Moving Map will allow passengers to wear VR glasses, they can see 3D landscape images on the surface, and even enter the 360-degree virtual world, immerse them in and complete the trip. When the plane flies over Vienna, passengers can sit on the Prater Ferris wheel in a virtual way, and even participate in a Viennese classical concert in a virtual way. The prototype equipment was developed by Lufthansa in cooperation with 3spin. Lufthansa only tested the VR Moving Map on the Airbus 330 aircraft from Frankfurt to Dubai and has not yet promoted it. 3spin executive Thomas Hoger said: "Looking at the window, I often think: Where am I? What is underneath... Our vision was born out of this. In order to let passengers know the world below, we a

Aside from the 12-year-old age limit, what positive effects does VR have on children?

A few decades ago, virtual reality was just a sci-fi concept, but now more than 10 million households have VR systems. VR is a relatively new technology, but it is constantly being improved and optimized. Modern education is expected to be one of the many areas that benefit from VR, but parents are still not sure about the pros and cons of virtual reality. VRFitnessInsider recently shared an article and introduced the positive impact of VR on children: 1. VR can improve brain function People think that VR is just a medium for escaping reality or entertainment games, but in fact this technology has a series of benefits, one of which is to promote the development of cognitive function, especially children. Just as physical exercise can enhance strength and strengthen muscles, cognitive games can also promote brain development through continuous stimulation. The following are five aspects of VR that can enhance cognitive function: 2. VR makes education an interactive experienc

Starbucks is forced to take out, but the store experience is its advantage

On August 2, Starbucks and Alibaba reached a strategic cooperation to “integrate mobile commerce into core business”. The cooperation involves many departments of Ali, in addition to the previous Tmall flagship store Star Card, which supports Alipay to pay the bill, but also joined the hungry delivery coffee, and the creation of “send star chef” with box horse freshman. . If you simply summarize what this cooperation brings to Starbucks, then there is no doubt that it is "delivering." With the development of the take-away market, Starbucks will face up to the challengers such as coffee and Rui Xing, which are solely for coffee delivery. Delivery is not, and will not be a competitive factor for Starbucks. Starbucks has always used consumption and interaction in its own physical store, the coffee shop, as its biggest selling point, and at the same time introduced and practiced the "third space" theory in the catering industry. Starbucks China chose to cut int

Team building: recruiting horses Intelligent voice editing team ready to go In the early days, the content obtained from the voice assistant was mainly the work of the product personnel. The media only took the appropriate information from the TV or the Internet and put it on the voice assistant,
