Robo-Butlers and 3D printers could all be part of a hotel service in the future
Posted by Karen Hurst in categories: 3D printing, augmented reality
Customizing/building your own hotel experience to fit your dream stay experience — that truly is achieving superior customer experience.
A NEW study has uncovered how the travel and hotel experience will be different in a year, 25 years and as far ahead as 2060, finding Neuro-dreaming could soon be a reality.
Eco hotels and augmented reality hotels that will transport guests to fantasy worlds are also on the cards.

Smart contact lens is discussed at electron devices meeting
Posted by Karen Hurst in categories: augmented reality, innovation
Cannot wait to get my AR Contacts.
(Tech Xplore)—Can we look at a future smart contact lens for those with eye problems? The iris, a key part of our eyes, modulates the amount of light reaching the retina, said researchers, and an estimated 200,000 individuals worldwide suffer from iris deficiencies.
These deficiencies bring discomfort and extreme photosensitivity, such as aniridia and leiomyoma.

We are pleased to share an update on our research in 3D capture and algorithms
Posted by Klaus Baldauf in categories: augmented reality, information science, transportation
We took the technology out of the studio and into a car – making Holoportation truly mobile. To accomplish this, we reduced the bandwidth requirements by 97%, while still maintaining quality. This new mobile Holoportation system greatly increases the potential applications of real-time 3D capture and transmission.

The Dangers of Quantum Computing
Posted by Karen Hurst in categories: augmented reality, computing, quantum physics
Any technology with the word “quantum” in the name is by nature impossible for lay people to understand and even difficult for scientists to get their arms fully around. However, though its workings are mysterious, quantum science offers very useful everyday tools.
There has been a race for quantum computing for years. Part of the reason is that these devices will leave today’s computers in the dust. The other element is that planners see that current computing technology is reaching its growth limits. Quantum computing is the key to the future to them, not science fiction.
Microsoft, which Computerworld says has been researching quantum computing for more than a decade, is expanding its quantum computing efforts. It has put Todd Holmdahl, one of the people involved in the development of Kinect, HoloLens and Xbox, in charge of developing quantum hardware and software. It’s also hired professors from the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands; the University of Copenhagen; ETH Zurich and University of Sydney in Australia.

Microsoft ‘doubles down’ on quantum computing hardware focus
Posted by Karen Hurst in categories: augmented reality, computing, quantum physics
Microsoft is accelerating its efforts to make a quantum computer as it looks to a future of computing beyond today’s PCs and servers.
Microsoft has researched quantum computing for more than a decade. Now the company’s goal is to put the theory to work and create actual hardware and software.
To that effect, Microsoft has put Todd Holmdahl—who was involved in the development of Kinect, HoloLens, and Xbox—to lead the effort to create quantum hardware and software. The company has also hired four prominent university professors to contribute to the company’s research.

” … Apple is considering the idea of producing digital glasses. The specs would, we’re told, “connect wirelessly to iPhones, show images and other information in the wearer’s field of vision, and may use augmented reality.””
