2024 will be ‘The year of AI glasses’
Hardly anybody talks about AI glasses, but by the end of the year, many users will be wearing them every day.

By Mike Elgan
Contributing Columnist, Computerworld
JAN 5, 2024

Apple’s pricey Vision Pro augmented reality platform is expected to arrive in the first quarter of 2024. But by the end of the year, I predict the platform of the year will be — drum roll, please — AI glasses!

Wait, what?

That’s right. Glasses that let you interact with artificial intelligence (AI) from the comfort of your own face will be the sleeper hit of the year. In fact, the buzz around market leader Meta has already begun.

Announced in September and shipped in October, the Ray-Ban Meta glasses arrival was initially received with a collective shrug. They were assumed to be camera glasses, like Snap Spectacles, or virtual assistant glasses, like Amazon’s Echo Frames. Or, for that matter, a small upgrade from their Meta predecessor, Ray-Ban Stories. But Spectacles, Echo Frames and Ray-Ban Stories failed to thrill the gadget-loving public.

It took a while for everyone to learn that Ray-Ban Meta glasses, which start at $299, are orders of magnitude better and more powerful than any of these lackluster gadgets; they offer a much better camera, super high-quality audio, the ability to live-stream to social, and an incredibly good AI assistant.

(Here’s a look at the camera quality via my own photos and a video.)

Despite the lackluster launch, Ray-Ban Meta glasses started blowing up online in December when three things happened.

First, Meta announced a kind of closed beta of its “multimodal” feature. While users could conjure up the Meta Assistant at any time using the “Hey, Meta” command, the “multimodal” feature adds a “look” command that sends a picture taken through the glasses’ camera to the Meta Assistant for processing and analysis. You can tell your glasses to look at a table full of ingredients and condiments and give you a recipe for using those items, for example — all hands-free. The combination of both spoken and visual interaction with Meta’s powerful AI is mind-blowing and conspicuously world-changing.

Second, tech journalists started forming a consensus that Ray-Ban Meta glasses are actually transformative. Though I was praising them way back in October, a critical mass of my colleagues really started getting excited about them only last month.

Mashable’s Kimberly Gedeon said: “The Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses shocked me, in a good way.”

9to5Mac’s Filipe Espósito wrote, “Ray-Ban Meta glasses convinced me to believe in smart glasses.”

C|NET’s Scott Stein said (about the “multi-modal” feature) that “the demo wowed me because I had never seen anything like it.”

Third, Ray-Ban Meta videos started taking off on TikTok and other social networks (even though the glasses’ live-streaming feature supported only Facebook and Instagram).

Yes, it’s already a market
Several AI glasses products are already on the market. For example, Lucyd Lyte Smart Eyewear Powered with ChatGPT was announced in August. The glasses are inexpensive, but of fatally low quality — especially the sound quality — according to reviewers.

Another product, the Solos AirGo 3, also provides access to ChatGPT from the glasses and have tended to get more positive reviews than the Lucyd Lyte products.

And, of course, Amazon recently released a third-generation update to its Echo Frames, which have no camera but are nevertheless only $30 less expensive than Ray-Ban Meta glasses. Plus, they let you access Amazon’s Alexa assistant, which isn’t really LLM-based generative AI.

Other AI wearables have and will hit the market. Already, it’s pretty easy to chat with AI via earbuds. The problem with this platform is that nobody wears them all day, every day — unlike glasses, which people do, in fact, always wear except for when they’re sleeping.

Smart watches are another avenue for accessing AI. It’s possible to use an app to talk to AI through your watch and get an answer. The weak element here is that the sound quality from watches is generally too quiet for the user and too loud for others nearby.

Humane rolled out its AI Pin, which is a 55-gram magnetic device that attaches to clothing. It uses a camera and microphone for input and a speaker and laser beam for output. The boldness of a wholly new wearable platform is refreshing. But asking the public to pin something to their clothes — not possible or advisable in many circumstances — is too big an ask. The Humane AI Pin doesn’t stand a chance to succeed in the market.

The importance of the form factor
In fact, the reason all these wearables will fail to catch on as AI interface devices is that the glasses form factor is obviously superior. The temple or arm of these glasses is perfectly positioned to drop high-quality audio into the ears that sounds great to the wearer and is close to silent to others nearby. And they’re large enough to hold batteries, antennae and other electronic components.

As Ray-Ban Meta glasses prove, glasses can look stylish while still holding a high-quality camera and a light to show others when you’re capturing pictures or videos.

Of course, many people wear glasses every day already. Ray-Ban lets you order them with transition lenses (sunglasses in the sun, clear indoors) or prescription lenses or both. I know people who started wearing clear glasses indoors just because of the Ray-Ban Meta glasses. But, of course, for people who already wear glasses, opting for AI frames is a no-brainer.

Ray-Ban Meta glasses rule the AI glasses market simply because they’re of vastly higher quality than existing competitors and come at a price that must be subsidized by Meta. In fact, dozens of Ray-Ban glasses without any electronics whatsoever are more expensive that Ray-Ban Meta glasses.

But, just as when Amazon came out with the Echo product, big-name competitors quickly emerged. We can expect rivals like Google, Microsoft, OpenAI and others — including possibly even Apple — to get into the AI glasses market in the next year or two.

This is the market I’m looking forward to. Meta proved that if you just make the whole experience seamless and super high-quality, AI glasses are irresistible.

Google has no option but to ship (probably Pixel-branded) smartglasses, because AI glasses will be what replaces Search for most people most of the time.

Amazon will almost certainly ship AI glasses (probably Fire-branded) after being clobbered in the market by Meta with a product that puts Echo Frames to shame. Amazon wants to collect all the data of all the people, and Amazon Fire Glasses (modeled after Ray-Ban Meta glasses) fit the bill perfectly.

And Apple will feel compelled to jump into AI glasses sooner or later with a platform of its own (probably branded iGlasses). Glasses, like smart watches, combine both tech and fashion and demand high usability. This will be an irresistible market for Apple.

My dark horse prediction is that AI glasses become OpenAI’s first hardware play. Regardless, the year 2024 is going to surprise everyone, because AI glasses will emerge as the most important gadget category in tech.

Digital Divide Profile

Version 6.0
6 February, Tuesday

The digital-divide solution is digital-libraries. Private sector, nonprofit organization with entrepreneurial leadership. 100% control of everything. Limited strategic teaming arrangements with grassroot non-profit organizations, including limited religious organizations for infrastructure accessibility.

As I predicted, expected and told many others the media is now very “Negatively” hammering Apple because of the price point of the Vision Pro headset ($3,500). Adding to the “Digital-Divide” the have and have nots with computers and Internet access.

Digital-divide (noun) the gulf between those who have ready access to computers and the internet, and those who do not. “a worrying “digital divide” based on educational attainment and income.

The Digital Divide Exacerbates Other Divides, perhaps more pressing than how to measure the digital divide are the many ways that lack of access can deepen other divides and inequalities.

People without connectivity are often those with lower incomes. This lack of Internet access creates further barriers to economic opportunities and mobility. The digital divide is fueled by and contributes to many other socioeconomic inequalities.

The divide is not a single divide or clear-cut, but no matter how you cut it, digital exclusion has many adverse impacts.

Philanthropists wanted and needed to help make a better world digitally.

Mission reduction of digital divide.

Philanthropically and privately funded digital libraries with some in-kind donation exspected.

Anonymous, low-profile or high-profile funding support can be arranged for significant financial participants.

Anyone, anywhere can be a supporter of closing the gap of the digital-divide with opt-in (smart devices & Vehicles) assets and otherwise. Volunteerism supporting activities is very valuable.

Cash and in-kind (approved, required & requested preferred provide assets) and space, accessories other supplies accepted.

Low-income community supported reducing the digital-divide with digital-libraries. Instantly opened and operational digital libraries, turn-key supported facilities from concept to operating within days and weeks. Permits secured, all required assets completely transportable and separately shippable.

Physical,humans, Humanoid’s (robots) and with autonomous functionality is planned.

Product placement promotion planned, including in filmmaking. Strategic public relations (PR) supported with publicist and otherwise.

Celebrity and high-profile individuals participation is expected and supported. Celebrity Cameo appearances on video photo shoots and other participation at special events exspected to be beneficial participation

Fundraising activities augmenting philosophy with innovative fundraising special events and other unique fundraising revenue streams.

Apple’s Vision Pro product, is Spatial Computer connected to the Internet.

Tesla new energy vehicles (electric vehicle –EVs) are planned part of reducing the digital-divide with stationary and mobility.

Camp Mode, capabilities of Tesla offers many beneficial features, including climate controlled passager area, security and more benefits.

The vehicle fleet is planned for pickup, dropping people and/or products.

Stationary classrooms (up to four) students planning per vehicle.

Food and drinks and with hot meal served with outdoor kitchen assets in Dome’s or otherwise as appropriate and necessary.

Starlink by SpaceX is planned for space advanced communications (Internet access) anywhere needed.

Energy Storage planned for supporting electrical requirements, charging with clean energy.

Dome’s (temporary and semi-permanent) planned for infrastructure supporting.

Augmenting public schools, focused on After school programs. Completely Independent of public schools, public funds, non-governmental organizations and other existing formal or informal educational institutions.

After-school programs, planned. Educational, learning, training, entertainment and more is planned. Curriculum and apps selected from preferred provider independent developers. For example: OTOY, Paramount Game Studios and The Gene Roddenberry Estate, announced the launch of a Roddenberry Archive app for Apple’s new spatial computing platform, the Apple Vision Pro.

The app marks a major evolution of the project, preserving and celebrating the legacy of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry, which had over 4 million visitors during a limited three-week preview online, it immerse Trekkies in nearly two hours of groundbreaking Star Trek spatial experiences built exclusively for the Apple Vision Pro, allowing them to explore hundreds of fully realized locations, artifacts and unique items — spanning every Star Trek TV show and film across the franchise’s nearly 60-year history.

The two hour Star Trek experience, is an example of time scheduling for participants session. Scheduled and planned for about 3 hours on average, enabling about 4 users each 12 hours, expanded to probably 16 hours per day utilizations, many different users possiblly.

Battery swapping of separate-independent neck power bank, expected to enable continuous usage. Wired and wireless charging planned.

Shared assets is planned, smart devices (including headsets) planned to shared. Each individual utilizing head mounted headsets will be required to configure and conclude orientation of the device. Eye glass wearers we need supportive lenses or special arrangements.

Third Wave (Steve Case, titled book) writes and he has spoken oftentimes about the third wave of the Internet. It’s believed that Apple’s visionOS technologies is the third wave of the Internet, possibly and potentially.

Individuals and entities can opt-in their assets both Vision Pro Smart devices and vehicles.

Unlimited scalability globally. Elimination of digital divide possible with participation equilibrium.

Planning to balance supply and demand achieving equilibrium is the mission objective and goal.

57 trillion squares each square approximately 10 -by-10 ft. uniquely addressed by third-party application provider, smart device accessibility. Earth’s entire coverage includes land and water surfaces. Over 70% of the Earth is covered in water water digital divide solutions is planned for water, including access and on-water.

Shared-assets, the time-sharing plan enabling high-utlization of smart devices, supporting many different user’s daily, weekly and yearly. One device could potentially be used in about six (6) two hour sessions each day including weekends. Planning at least 50% utilization rate.

Driver vehicle simulators are planned utilizing head-mounted displays advanced simulation with headsets and electronics for steering, braking and acceleration is planned.

Executive Protection and safety security is planned.

What is the third wave of the Internet? The Third Wave (2016 – Present) is about integrating the internet in seamless and pervasive ways throughout our lives. It’s characterized by the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and big data.

Third Wave (Steve Case) Book the #1 New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller from Steve Case—the co-founder of AOL—presents “a compelling roadmap for the future…that can help us make sense of the technological changes reshaping our economy and the world. A fascinating read of his book “The Third Wave”

Steve Case—a pioneer who made the Internet part of everyday life—was on the leading edge of a revolution in 1985 when he co-founded AOL, the first Internet company to go public and the most successful business of the 1990s. Back then Case was an entrepreneur in an industry that hadn’t really been invented yet, but he had a sense how dramatically the Internet would transform business and society. In The Third Wave, he uses his insights garnered from nearly four decades of working as an innovator, investor, and businessman to argue the importance of entrepreneurship and to chart a path for future innovators.

We are entering, as Case explains, the “Third Wave” of the Internet. The first wave saw AOL and other companies lay the foundation for consumers to connect to the Internet. The second wave saw companies like Google and Facebook build on top of the Internet to create search and social networking capabilities, while apps like Snapchat and Instagram leveraged the smartphone revolution. Now, Case argues, we’re entering the Third Wave: a period in which entrepreneurs will vastly transform major “real world” sectors such as health, education, transportation, energy, and food—and in the process change the way we live our daily lives.

The Apple Vision Pro starts at $3,499 for 256GB of storage, $3,699 for 512BGB and $3,899 for 1TB. And before any of the accessories. The optical Zeiss lenses costs $99 to $149 for readers and prescription.

1.3 to 1.4 pounds for the Vision Pro (depending on the Light Seal and head band configuration).

Background Digital Divide (description by others):

At the Internet Society we work towards developing the Internet to be open, globally connected, secure, and trustworthy. A big part of this work is growing the Internet to those who need it the most, bridging the digital divide.

But what exactly is this digital divide? At first glance it seems as though there may be a simple answer: “the gap between those who have and do not have access to computers and the Internet”. But upon further investigation, there are many ways to measure the divide. In fact, there are multiple divides.

Below you will find a brief overview of some of the ways that the digital divides are discussed and calculated. Despite there being no single definition, there are effective ways to connect those left behind and to address the divide. One solution is building community networks and fostering the conditions for them to thrive.

What Is the Digital Divide?
There is no one digital divide. At a high level, the digital divide is the gap between those with Internet access and those without it. But the digital divide is multifaceted and includes many factors such as access, affordability, quality, and relevance. As Michael Kende wrote, “the digital divide is not a binary.” Here are some of the things that lead to disparities in Internet access:

Availability: Is there available access to the Internet in your area? Is there a nearby point of connection to the Internet? If yes, this is just the first step to having Internet access.
Affordability: Is that access affordable? How does the cost compare to other essential goods? What percentage of your income do you need to pay for access?
Quality of service: Are the upload and download speeds sufficient for the local needs of Internet users?
Relevance: Does the connected community have the necessary skills and technologies? Is there local interest and understanding of the relevance of Internet access? Are there locally available mobile apps? Is there content in the local language and relevant to the people in the community?

Additional divides: Other areas that can create digital inequality include security, interconnectivity, digital literacy, and access to equipment.

These gaps in availability, affordability, interest, and digital literacy exist at the international level as well as the neighborhood level.

Countries that have high overall connectivity rates often still have stark inequalities in rural, remote, and even urban areas. Often these gaps fall along other disparities such as income and gender-based inequality. For instance, the United States has high overall connectivity rates, but there is a marked gap in availability of affordable and sustainable Internet access on Indigenous lands.

Third Wave (Steve Case)

The #1 New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller from Steve Case—the co-founder of AOL—presents “a compelling roadmap for the future…that can help us make sense of the technological changes reshaping our economy and the world. A fascinating read” (Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook COO and founder of LeanIn.org).

Steve Case—a pioneer who made the Internet part of everyday life—was on the leading edge of a revolution in 1985 when he co-founded AOL, the first Internet company to go public and the most successful business of the 1990s. Back then Case was an entrepreneur in an industry that hadn’t really been invented yet, but he had a sense how dramatically the Internet would transform business and society. In The Third Wave, he uses his insights garnered from nearly four decades of working as an innovator, investor, and businessman to argue the importance of entrepreneurship and to chart a path for future innovators.

We are entering, as Case explains, the “Third Wave” of the Internet. The first wave saw AOL and other companies lay the foundation for consumers to connect to the Internet. The second wave saw companies like Google and Facebook build on top of the Internet to create search and social networking capabilities, while apps like Snapchat and Instagram leveraged the smartphone revolution. Now, Case argues, we’re entering the Third Wave: a period in which entrepreneurs will vastly transform major “real world” sectors such as health, education, transportation, energy, and food—and in the process change the way we live our daily lives.

Part memoir, part manifesto, and part playbook for the future, The Third Wave explains the ways in which newly emerging technology companies will have to rethink their relationships with customers, with competitors, and with governments; and offers advice for how entrepreneurs can make winning business decisions and strategies—and how all of us can make sense of this ever-changing digital age.

Steve Case is one of America’s best-known and most accomplished entrepreneurs, and a pioneer in making the Internet part of everyday life.

For the past 15 years, Steve’s focus has been on starting and scaling Revolution, the Washington DC-based investment firm that now backs entrepreneurs at every stage of their development. Revolution Growth has invested nearly $1 billion in growth-stage companies including Sweetgreen, Tempus, Tala, DraftKings, and CLEAR. Revolution Ventures has backed more than two dozen venture-stage companies, including Framebridge, Policygenius, and Bloomscape. The Rise of the Rest Seed Fund has invested in more than 130 startups in over 70 U.S. cities, in partnership with many of America’s most successful entrepreneurs and investors.

Steve’s entrepreneurial career began in 1985 when he co-founded America Online (AOL). Under Steve’s leadership, AOL became the world’s largest and most valuable Internet company, helping to drive the worldwide adoption of a medium that has transformed business and society. AOL was the first Internet company to go public, and one of the best performing stocks of the 1990s, delivering a 11,616% return to shareholders. At its peak, nearly half of Internet users in the United States used AOL. In 2000, Steve negotiated the largest merger in business history, bringing together AOL and Time Warner in a transaction that gave AOL shareholders a majority stake in the combined company. To facilitate the merger, Steve agreed to step down as CEO when the merger closed.

Steve’s passion for helping entrepreneurs remains his driving force. He was the founding chair of the Startup America Partnership—an effort launched at the White House in 2011 to accelerate high-growth entrepreneurship throughout the nation. Steve also was the founding co-chair of the National Advisory Council on Innovation & Entrepreneurship, and a member of President Obama’s Council on Jobs and Competitiveness, where he chaired the subcommittee on entrepreneurship.

Steve has been a leading voice in shaping government policy on issues related to entrepreneurship, working across the aisle to advance public policies that expand access to capital and talent. He was instrumental in passing the JOBS (Jumpstart Our Business Startups) Act and the Investing in Opportunities Act, and is active in advocating on behalf of immigration reform and legislation that supports and accelerates the emergence of startup ecosystems in rising cities.

Steve also serves as the Chair of the Smithsonian Institution, the world’s largest museum and research complex. In this role, Steve leads the Board of Regents’ efforts to increase the Institution’s reach, impact and relevance.

Steve is also Chairman of the Case Foundation, which he established with his wife Jean in 1997. Together the Cases have invested in hundreds of organizations, initiatives and partnerships with a focus on leveraging the Internet and entrepreneurial approaches to strengthen the social sector.

In 2010, Steve and Jean joined The Giving Pledge, and publicly reaffirmed their commitment to give away the majority of their wealth to philanthropic causes.

Steve is also the author of the New York Times bestselling book, The Third Wave: An Entrepreneur’s Vision of the Future. In it, Case recounted many of the lessons he learned from building businesses, and outlined the growing importance of place, policy and partnerships.

Steve was born and raised in Hawaii and retains active ties to his home state, but has lived in the Washington D.C. area for more than 30 years.

The Digital Divide Exacerbates Other Divides

Perhaps more pressing than how to measure the digital divide are the many ways that lack of access can deepen other divides and inequalities. People without connectivity are often those with lower incomes. This lack of Internet access creates further barriers to economic opportunities and mobility. The digital divide is fueled by and contributes to many other socioeconomic inequalities.

The divide is not a single divide or clear cut, but no matter how you cut it, digital exclusion has many adverse impacts. Here are a few:

Access to healthcare and its outcomes: Internet access is an important public health issue. Lack of access means exclusion from vital health information and resources. Health experts now insist that broadband Internet access “must be recognized as a social determinant of health.“

Economic opportunities: For both workers and business owners, lack of quality broadband means decreased economic opportunities and competitiveness in the digital economy.
Educational opportunities: Lack of Internet access for school-aged children means that they are denied the educational benefits of the Internet. This gap perpetuates unequal learning outcomes and has been particularly difficult during the COVID-19 pandemic.
These and many more inequalities are perpetuated by the digital divide. This makes bridging the gap all the more urgent.

Community Networks Are One Complementary Solution for Bridging the Digital Divide
Just as the digital divide itself is not binary, there is no single solution to bridging it. For decades governments and private industry using traditional models have been successful in bringing Internet access to many.

However, the remaining unconnected half of the world’s population is the hardest to connect to the Internet, often living in low-density or low-income areas that are not as profitable for large businesses to provide service and build infrastructure. This has led to a slower rate of growth of new people connecting to the Internet. Innovative solutions are needed to move forward.

Community networks can meet the challenges of the many digital divides, bringing affordable Internet access to those who need it the most. Beyond making the Internet available and affordable, community networks help address some of the other divides mentioned above.

For instance, bringing Internet access to a community improves health disparities by making affordable telehealth options available to rural areas—this was the outcome of the Internet Society’s Nepal’s initiative Effective Broadband for Health. Other communities have seen changes in different areas at once through connectivity, such as education, healthcare, and agriculture in the case of the Murambinda community network in Zimbabwe.

The community network deployment process also shows that community members who are involved in building their networks also strengthen their shared digital literacy skills.

In Waimanalo, Hawai’i, it opened new opportunities and gave the community the agency over their connectivity. John Garcia, a community member who was key in the deployment of the Waimanalo network, said, “There are a lot of entrepreneurs here who can now connect and work from home. We moved from no connectivity, to being connected, to being able to control that connection and expand it.”

Background Libraries:

What are the four major functions of a library?
Across those four thousand years, librarians constructed libraries large and small that were designed to effectively collect, organize, preserve, and make accessible the graphic records of society.

What are the five library services?
These include from circulation services, reference services, online information services, inter library loans, and information literacy skills training.

These are the resources, activities, programs, etc which provided by libraries to enable users meet their information needs.

Background Digital:

What do we mean by digital?
Digital describes electronic technology that generates, stores and processes data in terms of positive and nonpositive states.

Positive is expressed or represented by the number 1 and nonpositive by the number 0. Thus, data transmitted or stored with digital technology is expressed as a string of 0s and 1s.

Background library role:

What is the role of library services?
Public libraries serve a very wide range of patrons and their information needs. Mission statements for public libraries show that they provide all things to all people: leisure reading for everyone from toddlers to senior citizens, and information needs for first-graders to scholars.

OTOY, Paramount Game Studios and The Gene Roddenberry Estate on Friday announced the launch of a Roddenberry Archive app for Apple’s new spatial computing platform, the Apple Vision Pro, which hits shelves today.

The app marks a major evolution of the project, preserving and celebrating the legacy of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry, which had over 4 million visitors during a limited three-week preview online in April 2023. It promises to immerse Trekkies in nearly two hours of groundbreaking Star Trek spatial experiences built exclusively for the Apple Vision Pro, allowing them to explore hundreds of fully realized locations, artifacts and unique items — spanning every Star Trek TV show and film across the franchise’s nearly 60-year history.

With only gaze and touch, Vision Pro users can transport themselves instantly through immersive 3D environments, traversing between different eras of Star Trek from “The Cage” pilot to the world of animated series Star Trek: Lower Decks. They can inspect each item on Captain Kirk’s shelf, take a seat at Quark’s bar on the Deep Space Nine Promenade, or launch a shuttle from the Enterprise-D’s hangar bay. With Apple SharePlay, a visit through the world of Star Trek can also become a shared social experience that can be livestreamed with friends and family.

Created exclusively for the Vision Pro app, a select number of Star Trek assets are available as downloadable holographic objects which can be placed in the user’s home environment. These models and sets can be shrunk or expanded from life size to dollhouse scales while rendering at a fidelity and quiescence never before possible on consumer hardware. Audiences can play with the size and scale of famed starship the USS Enterprise, enabling them to experience what it is like to walk around the original 11-foot physical USS Enterprise model on display at the Smithsonian, or have the in-universe 1:1 life size 1000-foot ship fly overhead.

The app’s spatial content and streams were created by artists and studios using the Render Network and OTOY’s cutting-edge GPU rendering tools, bringing the highest levels of unbiased path-traced realism at unprecedented resolutions, powered by thousands of decentralized GPUs in the cloud. The app allows artists using OTOY’s tools to load their own immersive media creations on the Vision Pro and share it with others.

Featured in the Archive’s native Vision Pro spatial content are 1-meter by 1-meter light field cubes that are displayed at 90-frames-per-second in 4K resolution per eye, pushing the boundary on visual fidelity. Unbiased rendering and light field baking enable audiences to experience Star Trek worlds with fully path traced real time lighting, including dynamic glossy reflections and shadows, bringing new levels of photorealism to immersive content.

The Archive was developed using the Universal Scene Description format as part of OTOY’s membership in The Alliance for OpenUSD — a group formed by Pixar and Apple, among others — that is working to standardize the USD format across the industry to help artists and developers create and deploy complex real-time 3D experiences at scale.

“Through our multi-decade collaboration with OTOY, we have been working to push the frontiers of immersive technology to fulfill my father’s legacy, creative intent, and ideas in ways that can be experienced today and by generations yet to come,” said Rod Roddenberry, President of Roddenberry Entertainment, in a statement to Deadline. Roddenberry went on to state that the Archive for Apple Vision Pro is “a remarkable milestone in realizing my father’s vision for the Holodeck,” a fictional virtual reality technology from the Star Trek universe that uses holographic projectors and force fields to create realistic, interactive, and immersive simulations.

“This release also fulfills one of my mother’s greatest wishes. She recorded her phonemes in 2008 before her passing, to have her voice live on in posterity. It is deeply moving for me to be able to have her voice now narrate portions of the archive,” Roddenbery said. “I am also pleased that the archive can bring to life both published and unrealized influential narrative works from Star Trek‘s rich literary history, covering my father’s one and only Star Trek novel for the Motion Picture in 1979 through the decades of books and comics that subsequently followed.”

OTOY CEO Jules Urbach underscored that “through Apple’s breakthrough Vision Pro spatial computing platform, we can bring audiences back in time as if they were there on set during the making of Star Trek for the first time, with full visual immersion and historical accuracy.”

The Archive’s latest release of navigable spatial content can also be viewed online as a live 2D stream, with the complete experience to be available for free on both the web and the Vision Pro for a limited time. Later this year, OTOY and Paramount Game Studios will offer users unlimited viewing time and a-la-carte access to all current and future immersive Star Trek 3D experiences released through The Archive.

Apple Demo

Tried on Apple’s new Vision Pro VR headset — here’s what it was like to use this impressive product .

You don’t need to be a real techie to like Apple’s Vision Pro.

Your eyes and hands are doing almost all the work.

I was among few people Friday at the Apple’s store in Metro Washington DC, Pentagon City, Northern Virginia, outside Washington DC. store for the launch of the company’s futuristic head-mounted headset.

Once inside the crowded showroom, I registered for a Vision Pro demonstration — open only to people 13 years and up — which required filling out a detailed questionnaire about my eyesight, given that glasses cannot be worn with the headset.

People who wear glasses must have their prescription measured with a special device manufactured by a third-party and then use optical inserts in the headset to adjust the visuals. I wear contact lens. Simplistic process for the demo.

Here’s what Apple fans — and tech giant’s own workers — have to say about groundbreaking Vision Pro and some of my experience.

When I finally put the visionOS headset on, I had to undergo facial recognition and hand recognition and connect a series of dots by eying them and tapping my thumb and index finger together three times before I was let into the system.

From here on out, most everything was done with my eyes and fingers.

When wanting to go to the menu, all that is necessary was look at the icon, tap index and thumb together and open it, the same goes for photo folders.

With a pinched my fingers together, users are able to move the image in-front around or re-size it.

Each movements was captured by the device’s dozen cameras and five sensors.

Most of the time, keeping my head straight and only move eyes or the headset would reset, which takes up to a couple minutes.

The Vision Pro is equipped with a dozen cameras, five sensors and six microphones.

The light-weight: at 20 ounces, the headset is relatively hefty, and the longer used it, sitting stock-still with the gadget strapped on face, the more I felt a little bulky.

During one of the few times I was able move around was in the panoramic view mode, which allows more freedom.

As part of the demo, a performance by Alicia Keys was shown in the panoramic view, which looked remarkably realistic and close up. Able to watch her sing on one-side and then turn head and see her back-up performers.

The sound was just as impressive as the razor-sharp visuals, giving the sensation that I was actually attending a concert in-person.

Other immersive clips shown during the demo included men playing soccer, a surfer riding a wave and birthday candles being blown out on a cake. Butterfly landing on finger amazing immersive experiences.

At one point, I jumped back in my chair when it seemed like a rhinoceros was charging straight at me!

The Rise of Spatial Computing: Big Tech Revolution in 2024!

visionOS is the operating system that powers Apple Vision Pro. Use visionOS together with familiar tools and technologies to build immersive apps and games for spatial computing.

Spatial vision encompasses all things related to seeing the space around us. Spatial video for Apple Vision Pro. Also take spatial videos with iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max then view them on Apple Vision Pro.

Spatial videos and photos have incredible depth that lets you see into a moment. Expand them to get even closer. Although, Apple refers to it as spatial video, it essentially refers to an immersive, three-dimensional (3D) video clip.

Spatial audio makes listening more fun — whether you’re enjoying a movie, a game or music. Being surrounded by sound is more engaging and helps you get deeper into the experience.

Apple iOS is the proprietary operating system used on Apple mobile devices such as the iPhone and iPad. iOS ranks as the second-most used mobile device operating platform in the world, behind Android.

What is vision operating system? visionOS is a cutting-edge spatial operating system, powering the ambitious Apple Vision Pro, Apple’s mixed-reality wearable. visionOS boasts features that elevate immersion and user experience.

Apple Vision Pro is a standalone hardware device that has its own processors and does not require a connection to a Mac or an iPhone to operate, but it is able to interface with other Apple devices. With the Mac, for example, the Vision Pro can serve as a Mac display.

The Vision Pro has a fitted headband and a Light Seal piece. To find the right size Light Seal, a iPhone or iPad with Face ID during the order process, is used.

Apple Vision Pro is a standalone computer.
Through a tight integration of hardware and software, designed a standalone spatial computer in a compact wearable form factor that is the most advanced personal electronics device ever. Apple Vision Pro utilizes the most advanced materials possible for incredible performance, mobility, and wearability.

Spatial computing is a technology that enables computers to blend in with the physical world in a natural way. Apple is not the first company to delve into the space, but it believes this will be the next big thing for computing.

visionOS enabled smart devices prioritizing planned. Apple is launching a spatial-computing-based Vision Pro headset, here’s what that could mean and what the technology could do, in the coming years.

2024: Apple’s Vision Pro Takes Center Stage
Now, let’s talk about the star of 2024—Apple’s Vision Pro. It’s not just a headset; it’s a high-tech display you wear on your head. Imagine a super-clear screen close to your eyes, and it’s not just a regular screen; it’s as good as what’s on a fancy computer. Apple put in a chip from their Mac computers, making this headset stand out.

The Vision Pro isn’t just for show. It’s a game-changer, promising a cool way to experience virtual reality. It’s like having a tiny computer on your face.

Embark on a journey into 2024’s tech revolution with the rise of spatial computing. In a world where XR innovations take center stage, smart glasses become training wheels for a transformative experience. Explore the evolution of spatial computing in entertainment and gaming, unlocking immersive possibilities. As we navigate this landscape, witness Apple’s Vision Pro, a game-changing headset setting the standard for virtual reality. ‘The Rise of Spatial Computing promises a paradigm shift in how we perceive and interact with technology,’ says industry experts, marking a milestone in the future of immersive experiences.

The way we interact with tech hasn’t changed in decades. Immersive technologies such as AR, VR, and XR offer the concept of spatial computing. This concept can “unleash the true powers” of technology.

From buttons and keys, to gazing at screens, the way we interact with IT – and the hardware we use to do it – may still be improving, but it hasn’t really changed much in decades now.

But with the new technology we have within our reach today, this can really start to change. The concept is called ‘spatial computing’.

Spatial computing helps heighten the sense of ‘presence’ where human interaction and digital content are uniform and connected through immersive technologies — augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and mixed reality (XR) tools.

Spatial computing radically changes the human-computer interaction and is also set in motion to transform the relationship we have with the digital realm.

In spatial computing, hardware is purely the engine oriented toward the display/world.

Moving users away from a passive role of ‘consuming’ digital content, instead, the concept of spatial computing is to invite users to actively engage with digital content beyond the sense of sight.

Instead, they interact with it how they would in the physical world, such as using voice control, their eye or head position, or the most minute of finger movements.

“Spatial computing will unleash the true powers of all other technologies,” said Ivan Khoo, the CEO of Ministry XR, a Malaysian based company that specializes in spatial computing technologies.

The unique blend of digital content and physical environment that enables society to engage with content with a higher degree of immersion, changing perception of technology and its potentially seamless role in our everyday lives.

At the heart of spatial computing is a very intelligent system whose aim is to provide hyper-individualized experiences to each and every user.

The significance of spatial computing is to break the presupposed mold that humans should adapt to the interactions of computers. When computers are designed to suit the natural interactions of people, that’s when the true potential of technologies can be unleashed and cultivated.

Simply put — spatial computing is when man, machine, and environment reconcile and humanity no longer has to adapt to the intricacies of computing.

Instead, computers adapt to humanity and its environment – naturally and ubiquitously.

The Tech Journey: From VR to AR and Beyond
Our journey begins with virtual reality (VR) headsets. These cool gadgets let you dive into a completely different world, but they were just the start. Early VR was like playing a video game, but developers kept working to make it better.

Then came augmented reality (AR), changing the game. AR adds digital stuff to the real world.

One of the key advantages of spatial computing is its ability to understand the depth of the environment. This allows for realistic and natural interactions with virtual objects, because they can be placed and manipulated in a way that corresponds to the physical world.

For example, a virtual object can be placed on a table, moved around, or hidden behind other objects in a way that mirrors our real-world actions.

Spatial computing brings together the virtual and physical worlds in a seamless way. You can experience it through headsets such as the aforementioned Apple Vision Pro, Microsoft HoloLens, Meta Quest Pro, and Magic Leap.

These devices display the real world and, at the same time, embed real objects into the scene in a way that appears three-dimensional. For example, you could place a virtual piece of furniture in your living room to see what it would look like before you buy it; or factory workers can overlay technical manuals onto machine they’re building.

These devices rely on several technologies to mix the digital and physical worlds. They use computer vision, which processes data from cameras and other sensors and captures visual information about the environment, including the position, orientation, and movement of objects.

With sensor fusion, they can combine data from multiple sensors, such as cameras and LiDARs, to create an accurate and
comprehensive view of the environment. And they use spatial mapping to create a 3D model of the environment, which allows for more precise placement and manipulation of digital content.

Spatial computing is a technology that enables computers to blend in with the physical world in a natural way. Apple is not the first company to delve into the space, but it believes this will be the next big thing for computing.

And the company is willing to bet on it with its new AR/VR headset, the Apple Vision Pro. It’s likely to change the way we interact with computers.

Extended Reality (XR) is an umbrella term encapsulating Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), Mixed Reality (MR), and everything in between.

Apple’s iPhone 15 Pro Max, smartphone: iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, designed with aerospace-grade titanium that’s strong yet lightweight to deliver Apple’s lightest Pro models ever. The new design also features contoured edges and a customizable Action button, allowing users to personalize their iPhone experience. Powerful camera upgrades enable the equivalent of seven pro lenses with incredible image quality, including a more advanced 48MP Main camera system that now supports the new super-high-resolution 24MP default, the next generation of portraits with Focus and Depth Control, improvements to Night mode and Smart HDR, and an all-new 5x Telephoto camera exclusively on iPhone 15 Pro Max.

The new USB‑C connector is supercharged with USB 3 speeds — up to 20x faster than USB 2 — and together with new video formats, enables powerful pro workflows that were not possible before.
And with the addition of Roadside Assistance via satellite, the iPhone 15 Pro lineup builds on Apple’s innovative satellite infrastructure to connect users to help if they have car trouble while off the grid.

With iOS 17.2, iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max users can now record spatial videos — a groundbreaking new capability that helps users capture life’s precious moments — and relive those memories on Apple Vision Pro, starting early next year.
“iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max feature the most powerful camera systems we’ve ever developed, including the best video quality in any smartphone,” said Greg Joswiak, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing. “And now, we’re setting a new bar for what’s possible, enabling users to record special moments just as they happened. Spatial videos are magical, and we can’t wait for users to experience them on Apple Vision Pro early next year.”

Enable Spatial Video Capture on iPhone
Once spatial video capture is enabled in Settings, users can leverage the advanced camera systems on iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max to capture moments in three dimensions.

Spatial videos are captured in 1080p at 30 frames per second in standard dynamic range. With advanced computational videography techniques and HEVC compression, iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max deliver stunning spatial videos.

Capturing spatial videos on iPhone is as easy as capturing regular videos on iPhone: With the Camera app open in Video mode, rotate iPhone to landscape orientation, tap the spatial video icon, and then tap record.

iPhone starts recording video from both the advanced Main and Ultra Wide cameras, and scales the field of view from the Ultra Wide camera to match that of the Main camera, which is then saved into a single video file.

Viewing Spatial Videos
On iPhone and other devices, spatial videos appear as regular, 2D videos and can be watched or shared just like any other video using apps like Messages. Users can find all of the spatial videos they capture within a new Spatial album in the Photos app, and all of their spatial videos will sync across their devices with iCloud.

Spatial videos come to life on Apple Vision Pro. With iCloud, users will be able to access their entire library in the Photos app and view their videos at life-size scale with brilliant color and spectacular detail.

On Apple Vision Pro, spatial videos can be played back in a window or expanded into an immersive view

Spatial video capture on iPhone arrived ahead of the debut of Apple Vision Pro, so iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max users can begin capturing moments to be viewed on Apple Vision Pro from day one.

Spatial Computing visionOS

The jury is still out on whether Apple’s entrance into spatial computing will be a failure or a defining moment for spatial computing. But Apple has a history of setting standards: Just consider the mouse, the graphical user interface, the iPod, and the iPhone. Although it’s extremely expensive for now, the Vision Pro might trigger a momentum that will lead to new and innovative applications and devices for spatial computing.

Despite its appeal, spatial computing has had mixed success so far. One of the biggest challenges facing the field is the cost of hardware. The best spatial-computing devices cost thousands of dollars and are not accessible to everyone. That’s why they have yet to make their dent in the consumer space and have found limited success in niche enterprise applications where the boost in productivity justifies the cost.

In addition, the weight of the headsets, low resolution, and lack of comfort have been major concerns, as they can cause fatigue and motion sickness during extended use. Battery life is also a limiting factor: Most devices’ batteries last just a few hours and require frequent charging. But companies are making progress in many of these areas. And as other industries have shown, the cost of sensors, displays, and hardware will gradually decrease as the field evolves and becomes more competitive.

Spatial-computing devices have features that enable you to interact with virtual objects. Eye-tracking technology monitors your gaze, and handheld controllers and motion sensors enable you to manipulate virtual objects. For example, the Apple Vision Pro has an advanced eye-tracking system and hand-gesture-detection sensors that let you simply look at items to activate them, or to move them around by pinching your fingers or flicking your wrist.

Devices that employ spatial computing might also have speech-recognition features to support voice commands. These are especially useful within hands-on environments such as manufacturing, where you can’t use hand gestures or controllers. The Vision Pro, HoloLens, and Magic Leap support voice commands

Spatial computing is related to both augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). AR means overlaying digital content onto the real world, typically using a phone or smart glasses.

While AR can enhance the user’s perception of an environment, it doesn’t embed digital content in 3D space or provide a sense of depth. VR, on the other hand, creates a fully immersive digital environment that replaces the user’s physical surroundings. And mixed reality (MR) employs a blend of AR and VR.

Spatial computing has the potential to revolutionize various industries by creating experiences and applications that were previously impossible.

How Can We Use Spatial Computing?
Here are some of the domains where spatial computing is applicable:

Education and Training
Spatial computing can provide an engaging and interactive learning experience that enhances knowledge retention and skills acquisition. For example, medical students can use spatial computing to practice surgical procedures in a virtual environment that simulates real-world conditions. In science and engineering, students can use spatial computing to build and test virtual prototypes of machines or conduct experiments

Gaming and Entertainment
Spatial computing creates immersive gaming and entertainment experiences that let you interact with virtual objects and characters in a natural and intuitive way. For instance, instead of a keyboard or joystick, you could use hand gestures or your gaze to control avatars and manipulate objects in a game. Spatial computing can also let you experience real-world events in a different way. With the Apple Vision Pro, you could watch an NBA game that lets you feel like you’re in a court-side seat. It also can record memories in a spatial format that you relive later in 3D.

Architecture and Design
Spatial computing can enable architects to create, visualize, and modify designs in the real world without the need for physical prototypes. This can save time and cost and allow for more iterative design processes. Designers can also use spatial computing to create virtual prototypes of products and test their functionality and ergonomics in different physical settings

Healthcare
Spatial computing can provide new ways to diagnose, treat, and monitor patients. For example, doctors could use spatial computing to overlay virtual screens and diagnostic information onto the real world, helping them to make more informed decisions. Or, a doctor could see a patient’s medical-imaging scans via a headset while they’re operating on that patient. Spatial computing could also help patients with physical or cognitive impairments to regain their independence by providing them with virtual assistants or rehabilitation exercises that are tailored to their needs.

In addition to these domains, spatial computing could have applications in fields such as retail, manufacturing, and transportation. For instance, manufacturers could use spatial computing to augment assembly lines with helpful virtual objects and information to optimize production processes

U.S. Patent and Trademark Office officially published a patent application from Apple that relates to their advanced Spatial Computer known as Vision Pro that using in-air finger and Hand gestures to control elements within the 3D XR environment of visionOS.

Our report also links to two additional HMD related patents published today regarding gaze controls and more.

Apple revealed that 5,000 patents support Apple Vision Pro and the attention to details at times is simply mind boggling. No wonder Apple’s various R&D teams took 17 years or more to achieve this next-generation of computing that goes on sale in U.S. Apple stores tomorrow.

Devices, Methods, And Graphical User Interfaces For Processing Inputs To A Three-Dimensional Environment

Apple’s invention relates to user interfaces for providing an extended reality (XR) experience to a user. The systems, methods, and GUIs described in Apple’s patent filing improve user interface interactions with virtual/augmented reality environments in multiple ways.

In some embodiments, in response to detecting that a user’s gaze input is directed to a user interface element, a computer system determines whether the user’s hand is in a predefined configuration.

If so, the computer system provides gesture information about the gaze input to the user interface element, and to subsequent user interface elements as the gaze input moves, so long as the user’s hand remains in the predefined configuration. If not, the computer system does not provide gesture information about the gaze input to the user interface element.

Requiring that the user’s hand be in a state that indicates readiness to interact in order to provide gesture information about a gaze input, and providing the gesture information to different targets based on where the gaze input is directed, ensures that gesture information about an input is provided to software that the user is clearly indicating intent to interact with.

In some embodiments, a computer system determines, for an input that indicates a user’s readiness to interact, whether the input requests direct manipulation or indirect manipulation.

If direct manipulation, a target of the input is determined based on where the user’s hand is positioned. If indirect manipulation, a target of the input is determined based on where the user’s gaze is directed.

Selecting the target of a direct manipulation input based on the location of the user’s hand or a portion thereof provides an intuitive way to directly manipulate targets, and selecting the target of an indirect manipulation input based on the location of the user’s gaze enables the indirect manipulation mode to extend the range of targets with which the user can interact.

In some embodiments, a computer system provides gesture information about an input to software associated with a target of the input, with an indication that additional gesture information about the input is available, if additional gesture information is available, or without the indication if additional gesture information is not available.

Providing a limited set of gesture information about an input with an indication whether additional gesture information about the input is available upon request provides information about inputs more efficiently by reducing the amount of information that is provided by default, while supporting the provision of more comprehensive information about the input to software that has a need for and explicitly requests the additional information.

Apple’s patent FIG. 7C3 below illustrates a top-down view of the user #7002 in the physical environment #7000.

In some embodiments, while the user’s hand #7020 is within the field of view of the one or more sensors of HMD #7100a (e.g., within the field of view of the user), a representation of the user’s hand is displayed in the user interface displayed on the display of HMD.

Apple’s patent FIGS. 7J1 and 7K, illustrate example techniques for disambiguating between direct manipulation and indirect manipulation of objects in a three-dimensional environment.

FIG. 7J1 relates to the gaze location of the gesture while FIG. 7K1 relates to gesture information of the hand location.

Background — New York Fashion Week: Highlights from the Spring-Summer 2024 runways
By Jacqui Palumbo and Alex Rees,

Background: Quest 3 & Vision Pro Article by others:

Soon you may be able to use the Quest 3 on an airplane. Just like a Vision Pro.

PUBLISHED: JAN 26, 2024,
By: Stanislav Serbezov

The Vision Pro will be coming out soon and there’s so much to talk about. Of course, we’re fully expecting that the spatial computer — which is what Apple wants us to call it, by the way — will be one of the best VR headsets around.

But will the Vision Pro’s release make the Quest 3 obsolete? No, not by a long shot. First off, because the two devices are very different in spirit, with the Quest 3 being focused on entertainment, while the Vision Pro’s focus is on providing a better virtual working environment for you.

Oh, and then there’s also the part where Meta seems to be picking up on every single unique thing about the Vision Pro and looking for ways to implement that into the Quest 3. The latest example? Airplane Travel model, which seems eerily similar to the Vision Pro’s Travel Mode.

But — hold on — what do I mean “every single thing”? Well, we’re still waiting on Augments for the Quest 3 — the MR widget things — and those look pretty inspired by the Vision Pro’s MR multitasking capabilities. Recently, we spoke about how Spatial videos may become a thing for the Quest 3. And now we’re here: Travel more, but on the Quest 3.

So what is this? Well, essentially it will let you use Meta’s latest headset on a moving vehicle. The Vision Pro is expected to have the very same feature and before that was announced, Meta had never brought up this update idea. Strange coincidence, right?

“But why would a headset need such a mode?” you may be asking yourself. Well, because when you’re on a vehicle, essentially the world is moving, but you’re not, which messes with all of the headset’s sensors, making it practically impossible to use. And the video above is a perfect example of that.

And yes, it is funny. I recommend watching it at least twice.

And while at it, check out the comment section, because there, Andrew Bosworth — Meta’s quite-active-on-social-media CTO — responded with a confirmation that Meta’s working on Airplane Travel mode, which — through software magic — would alleviate the issue. Neat!

Even if it may look or sound like these companies are taking concepts from one another, in reality this is just healthy competition doing its thing. And especially when that’s directly related to valuable updates for the VR crowd, I’m just happy to see it happen.

Background

Forbes Daily (Source):

Imagine what it might be like to live and work in our world in 2030 and beyond. Perhaps, thanks to advancements in extended reality (XR), an umbrella term used to describe immersive technologies that can merge the physical and virtual worlds, you might be able to shop for a new home anywhere in the world as if you were actually on-site or head to lunch in some faraway land.

By 2022, the XR market is expected to reach $209 billion, which is eight times what it is today. This tremendous growth could mean the realities of our 2030 lives are beyond our imagination’s ability to grasp.

Retail: XR gives customers the ability to try before they buy. Watch manufacturer Rolex has an AR app that allows you to try on watches on your actual wrist, and furniture company IKEA gives customers the ability to place furniture items into their home via their smartphone.

· Training: Especially in life-and-death circumstances, XR can provide training tools that are hyper-realistic that will help soldiers, healthcare professionals, pilots/astronauts, chemists, and more figure out solutions to problems or learn how to respond to dangerous circumstances without putting their lives or anyone else’s at risk.

Remote work: Workers can connect to the home office or with professionals located around the world in a way that makes both sides feel like they are in the same room.

· Marketing: The possibilities to engage with prospective customers and consumers through XR will have marketing professionals pondering all the potential of using XR to their company’s advantage.

· Real estate: Finding buyers or tenants might be easier if individuals can “walk through” spaces to decide if they want it even when they are in some other location.

· Entertainment: As an early adopter, the entertainment industry will continue to find new ways of utilizing immersive technologies.

Smart Devices Profile

Participants smart device support benefitcial: lifestyle, security and special experiences. The idevices are smart, with connection to the Internet “i” — iDevices provide significant benefits.

It doesn’t matter if Participants: are carrying a smart device, wearing a smart device (Apple- headset, other), driving a smart device (Tesla) or playing (Digital Piano by ) it is completely supported and available for renting, leasing and purchasing worldwide.

Smart Devices, vary in price depending on the manufacturer, model and features. The performance of smart devices and supporting devices and services is highest priority for selection and procurement. The price is least important aspect with respect to selection or procurement.

A tech refresh planned, supporting the process of replacing or upgrading systems or technologies, to help improve productivity, enhance experiences, and strengthen device security..

Technological obsolescence generally occurs when a new product has been created to replace an older version. Technological operations procedures are planned for when a technical product or service is no longer needed or wanted even though it could still be in working order.

Smart devices generally have one or more microchips (also called a chip, a computer chip, an integrated circuit or IC) is a set of electronic circuits on a small flat piece of silicon. On the chip, transistors act as miniature electrical switches that can turn a current on or off.

Chips enable applications such as virtual reality and on-device artificial intelligence (AI) as well as gains in data transfer such as 5G connectivity, and they’re also behind algorithms such as those used in deep learning. All this computing produces a lot of data.

The most common and widely used type of logic microchip is the central processing unit (CPU). However, this category also includes more specialized chips, such as graphical processing units (GPUs) and neural net processors.

Artificial intelligence (AI) smart devices, safely fully supported.

The term Spatial Computing today refers to advanced human–computer interaction that is perceived by humans as taking place in their world, in and around their bodies, instead of perceptually inside the computer’s world, behind the glass of a computer screen.

Smart device featuring and enabled with Spatial Computing capabilities is planned.

Digital visual (video) and audio fully supported, including: Wireless Live Streaming
Breaking free from the complicated set-up and tangle of cables typically needed to connect cameras, computers, and switchers for multi-camera live streaming. With just an iPad and a few mobile phones, the revolutionary system will have support wirelessly switching and streaming on platform with in minutes.

High-resolution portable audio recorder, mission-critical recording featured into a stylish and ultra-portable smart device that goes anywhere, are planned.

High-resolution audio, one-touch Scene memory, and Hybrid Limiting ensure great sounding recordings no matter what the situation. And wireless listening and remote control mean recordings with less wires in more places.

Use smartphone cameras to capture up-close shots from multiple angles, with no cables to disturb setup.

Conferences, Meetings, and Panel Discussions
Using the Google Chrome web browser on a computer, smartphone, or tablet, panelists and presenters can instantly share onscreen content, with no software installation or cables needed.

Mission critical smart devices performance could possibly mean the difference between life and death, safety and comfort.

Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) is planned to directly support smart devices. Preferably, one single original equipment manufacturer for each primary product category.

The preferred providers likely offering different models and different features. Products procurement is focused on commercial available products, not planning on proposing to participants prototypes of smart devices. Volume manufactured and usage of smart devices provide increase performance certainty.

Sponsorship from smart device manufacturers and possibly providing: preferred or advanced access to new products and features.Potential bulk purchasing discounts passed on to the participants, could occur. However, price or other preferred financial terms and conditions is not the priority, the device performance is a priority.

Software applications, product demonstration physical and virtual is planned. Show and tell with physical and virtual showcasing of smart devices, including operating system and feature usage is planned.

Vision Learning XR (Extended Reality with three-dimensional visual and sounds, for everything is planned.

XR stand for extended reality —
Extended Reality (XR) is an umbrella term encapsulating Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), Mixed Reality (MR), and everything in between.

Smart Devices carriers are planned handsfree focused because it simple, allows to do anything that requires both hands. Some people just like that freedom and necessary for safety, security including protection.

Additionally, considered long-term value of the devices when making acquisition decision. A high-quality smart device, may be more expensive upfront or a service ongoing, but it may last longer and provide a better performance experience compared to cheaper options.

Accessories for expanded: energy, data storage and communication is planned. Including stylish and comfortable for example neck, waist or ankle wearable battery packs (by third-party) and others add-on products, potentially custom designed with special commission manufacturing sales and support for participants exclusively.

Apple’s Vision Pro, headset reportly requires connection to a battery to operate. Apple’s head-mounted display (HMD) umbilical-cord to the battery has significant limitations and reportly, only operates for about 2 hours. Innovative powering/battery is planned, including powering other smart devices portablly for all-day usages.

Digital pianos have become a popular instrument among new and experienced musicians. With advancements in technology,. digital pianos, are considered smart devices.

About Roland Digital Piano

Digital pianos have become a popular instrument among new and experienced musicians. With advancements in technology, the quality of digital pianos has improved significantly over the years. One brand of digital pianos that is well-known for its quality is Roland. If you’re in the market for a digital piano, this buying guide will help you understand the features and benefits to look for in a Roland digital piano.

Sound Quality:
The sound quality of a digital piano is determined by the sampling process. The sampling process is the method used to record the sound of an acoustic piano. The samples are then stored in the digital piano’s memory, and when a key is pressed, the sound is played back. Roland digital pianos use high-quality sampling technology to capture the sound of a traditional piano.

Polyphony:
Polyphony refers to the number of notes that can be played and sustained at the same time. Look for a digital piano with a high polyphony count to ensure that it can handle complex pieces of music. Roland digital pianos typically have a high polyphony count, making them ideal for playing complex pieces of music.

Connectivity:
Many digital pianos come equipped with connectivity options, such as USB and MIDI ports. These ports allow the digital piano to connect to other devices, such as computers or sound systems. This feature is important for recording music or for performing in larger venues. Roland digital pianos often come with connectivity options, allowing for easy integration into other devices.

Portability:
To move digital piano frequently, consider purchasing a lightweight and portable model. Roland digital pianos are designed with portability in mind, making them an ideal choice for musicians who travel frequently or need to move their instrument often.

Pedals:
Most digital pianos come with a foot pedal, which is essential for performing certain techniques, such as sustain and expression. A good-quality Roland digital piano comes with a damper pedal and optionally a soft pedal and a sostenuto pedal. These pedals allow for a more authentic playing experience and can help musicians perform more complex pieces of music.

Price:
Roland digital pianos can vary in price depending on the model and features. Additionally, considered long-term value of the instrument when making a purchasing decision. A high-quality Roland digital piano may be more expensive upfront, but it may last longer and provide a better playing experience compared to cheaper options.

Conclusion:
When looking for a high-quality digital piano, Roland is a brand worth considering. Their digital pianos offer a range of features that provide a more authentic playing experience compared to other digital piano brands. By considering factors such as keyboard feel, sound quality, polyphony, connectivity, portability, pedals, and price, make an informed decision when purchasing a Roland digital piano

Background — Extended Reality (XR)

Extended reality (XR) is a catch-all term to refer to augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and mixed reality (MR). It’s specifically defined as “a unifying concept to interpolate between the realities and to eXtrapolate beyond them”.

Background Technologies:

Vision Pro device uses cameras and algorithms to capture and digitally reconstruct the physical environment on opaque displays. Users feel as if they are looking through the headset. This technology is called passthrough.

The environment can then be augmented with digital elements (augmented reality) or replaced entirely with virtual graphics (virtual reality). Users can use the Digital Crown on the device to adjust how much they want to be immersed.

Background – Seven Seas Grandeur’s Prime 7

Prime 7’s captivating design alludes to a bygone era of New York City’s gentlemen industrialists, an unapologetically hearty clientele who bestrode the planet in search of the finest aged beef and a bottle or two of bracing Bordeaux.

As a nod to that intrepid spirit, a wall of antique travel cases and black-and-white photography greets guests at the entry, the fine-tooled leather of each bag a badge of honor for the well-traveled.

“Guests are among the hospitality world’s most sophisticated travelers,” who reveals the thinking behind the design of Prime 7 in an exclusive video interview. Ruiz, one of the four Founders of Studio DADO, the Miami-based design practice responsible for the design of the fine dining venues and all the ship’s accommodations, continues: “Our challenge was to create something comfortable, traditional, even classic but in a way that feels fresh, new and unabashedly contemporary.”

Starting in the vestibule, walking through the various spaces of the restaurant feels like a journey home. The entrance space showcases details that recall a traditional streetcar, from wall detailing that looks like gentleman’s belting leather to a glass, lenticular screen above the bar that shows the city of New York growing from the 19th century to today.

Ruiz believes Prime 7 is on par with the first-class steakhouses found in New York and Chicago. “Every element of Seven Seas Grandeur’s Prime 7 has been treated as a piece of art – from the stitched ceilings to the whiskey decanters, to the fashion-inspired furniture, each detail was hand-selected to transport guests to a familiar time.”

Moving through the restaurant, the aesthetic changes to feel more residential – Persian carpets underfoot, residential-style lighting, and memorabilia in vitrines that disguise server stations and back-of-house areas.

A Modern Menu of Classics

In keeping with the ship’s grounding in Regent’s storied history and heritage of perfection the menu of is full of guest-favorites, sure to delight any luxury traveler that experiences Seven Seas Grandeur’s Prime 7.

Guests will enjoy mouthwatering appetizers, such as jumbo lump crab cakes with tartar sauce and lemon, Black Angus Beef steak tartare with truffle-beer bread or succulent jumbo shrimp with a citrus cocktail sauce.

The selection of steaks, all USDA prime beef and dry-aged 28 days to ensure the ultimate in taste and tenderness, include prime New York strip, porterhouse and succulent filet mignon, just to name a few. Alternative entrée options vary from indulgent whole Maine lobster, ever-popular Dover sole, and New Zealand double cut lamb chops, or guests could plump for a sumptuous range of small plates such as spice-crusted seared ahi tuna steak and grilled chicken supreme.

Dessert is truly a treat for those with a sweet tooth, with a decadent 14-layer chocolate mousse cake, a caramel chocolate sundae, cheese plates, fresh seasonal berries with crème anglaise and more on the menu.

Epicurean Perfection

Regent Seven Seas Cruises’ recently unveiled its Epicurean Perfection program which is featured across The World’s Most Luxurious Fleet™ and offers guests an unrivaled culinary experience – from enjoying Epicurean Indulgence on board with exquisite meals, fine wines and spirits to immersive destination-based Epicurean Explorations ashore.
