Innovation Video: Fove VR Eye-Tracking Virtual Reality Headset...


We've tried several virtual reality headsets that track your head movement, but FOVE is the first that also tracks your eye movement. At this year's Game Developers Conference, we put on FOVE's latest prototype headset and chat with the company's CTO to learn what eye tracking can bring to VR.

3D Holograms Can Be Seen and Felt! Interesting New Products and Inventions...

We present a method for creating three-dimensional haptic shapes in mid-air using focused ultrasound. This approach applies the principles of acoustic radiation force, whereby the non-linear effects of sound produce forces on the skin which are strong enough to generate tactile sensations.

This mid-air haptic feedback eliminates the need for any attachment of actuators or contact with physical devices. The user perceives a discernible haptic shape when the corresponding acoustic interference pattern is generated above a precisely controlled two-dimensional phased array of ultrasound transducers.

Is Artificial Intelligence Here? What happens when they're smarter than humans?

 

Artificial intelligence has been heading in one direction for 60 years according to Financial Times West Coast Editor, Richard Waters.  And that direction is for the technology becoming, "as smart as people."

In this respect, the history of AI has been one of disappointment, as the early practitioners were way ahead of themselves in terms of the capabilities they could achieve. This was especially pronounced in the so-called AI Winter of the 80's and 90's, when it seemed that the HAL 9000 system of the movies was never going to be achieved... Read More>>>
