In the early 1990s, the public's exposure to virtual reality barely exceeded a relatively primitive demonstration of a few block figures chasing a rudimentary pterodactyl around a chessboard. Although the entertainment industry is still interested in virtual reality technologies for games and theater experience, VR systems' most important uses are in other fields.

The first lesson of getting started with WordPress briefly introduced what WordPress is. It is an open-source and free website building program developed using the PHP language and MySQL database. A web hosting that can run PHP language and a MySQL database must build a WordPress site.

Like iPhones and iPads, Apple Silicon Macs uses an Appl ...

The first discrete Intel Xe DG1 GPUs are also delivered to systems available before the end of the year.

As one of the fastest-changing industries globally, AR and VR continue to impress us with new use cases and applications. In this post, you will read the top seven trends in AR and VR in 2020. One trend that proves to be essential for customer service is in the form of indoor AR navigation. This is a brand new use-case for virtual assistant services that dramatically enhances user experience in large buildings and shopping malls.

After a few weeks of rumor, as well as a few years of hearing, AMD went first to the complete acquisition of FPGA maker Xilinx. The deal includes an all-stock exchange, exploiting AMD's sizeable share price to allow an equivalent $143 per Xilinx share – current AMD shareholders will still own 74 percent of the merged business. In comparison, Xilinx shareholders will own 26 percent. The combined $135 billion entity would total 13,000 engineers and increase AMD's total addressable market to $110 billion. The acquisition's main reasons are assumed to be Xilinx's adaptive computing solutions for the data center label.

Fluorescently labeled cell micrographs are undeniably stunning, but they require intrusive and often destructive or deadly protocols to get their glow. In order to prevent such disruptions, researchers have created a computer program that can differentiate between cell types and recognize subcellular structures, among other features — all without the fluorescent probes on which our human eyes depend.

Artificial intelligence and facial recognition technologies are becoming popular in work interviews. The technology, created by the U.S. company HireVue, analyzes the language and sound of the candidate's voice and records their facial expressions as videos answering the same questions.

A new Facebook experiment reveals how sound could play a key role in augmented reality. Chief scientist Michael Abrash and his team at FRL Research (formerly Facebook Reality Labs) published information today about what the group calls “ perceptual superpowers ” — AR devices that find out what you're trying to hear, then enhance it and dampen background noise. In conjunction with spatial audio features, the interface produces an aural equivalent of a hologram overlay in a pair of glasses.

US chipmaker Intel (INTC) is selling part of its memory chip business to SK Hynix for $9 billion in a transaction that would make the South Korean firm the world's second-largest flash memory chipmaker.
