Web 3 will be good for AI based applications?

Web 3.0

Web 3.0 has given opportunity for AI community to work around with huge amount of data, which are always needed by data miners.

Web 3.0 can behave like human mind where we store information in neurons and all are linked other with weight-age of relevance.

Same concept is in web 3.0 where website publishers will organize extra information about data, articles, photos, videos etc. in XML format so it can be used later for data analyzing tools and software or more specifically for crawlers.

Now crawlers also need to change to read those XML not only page contents. Whoever will evolve crawler first will be pioneer in new search engine techniques, and it can be other then Google who monopolize search on internet.

Future ingenious phone, today’s sixth sense gadget

Tags: , , ,

When we go for shopping and it can be from buying a car to tooth paste. Selection is been the toughest problem for human being. Some people are very weak in selecting good products against bad ones and they always look for friend to help them out. Some are lucky enough to pick and select the right one instantly or with less effort and analysis. Other people think picking or selection right thing is somewhat relate to luck or sixth sense.

My opinion there is no sixth sense exists. It is a myth evolving around from centuries. I think it is power of mind to calculate and analyze the thing quickly with facts and figure stored somewhere in logs of mind. Decisions which astonished us after their execution, actually we don’t remember facts behind them, all decision we made cannot be possible without information stored in our mind. We don’t remember when that information has been stored. We might have from some other person when doing general talk or may be from TV or from some book or newspaper or we might know from our childhood but never exercise them.

Today is time for gadgets, and there are possible gadgets which can behave like shopping friend and can help in buying products. We are already talking help from Google to search right product or information online. We always look for reviews from CNet and other sites before purchasing anything. But that can be possible till now on internet. Cell phones are taking place of PC and giving us opportunity to help us during purchase from shopping store and malls. They already given us opportunity to take pictures and make videos anywhere without carrying separate gadgets for these. But our cell phones are not yet smart to help suggesting us, they can but you need to open up browser within cell phone and open relevant product website.
There is one new gadget is coming which might be integrated with cell phone later (I wish it should be soon). It is device to hang in neck contains camera, projector, colored caps on finger, cell phone to get information from internet, and mirror to use with projector.

Sixth Sense Gadget

Sixth Sense Gadget

It has basic concept of Microsoft surface but work on any surface even on your hand. Colored caps help to perform action. If you make your both hand as rectangle like taking shot, camera will take the picture automatically. If you switch on projector, it will show taken pictures on any surface and then again by hand action you can zoom in and out or rotate pictures.
Most important feature is getting relevant information about product or help to select among options. Pointing with finger will enable attached cell phone to send information of product and search related information. Like if you go to library and take out one book from shelf and point your one of colored cap to bar code, attached cell phone will go to Amazon and get more information about that product i.e. how much it cost, reviews from other readers etc.

Basic research on this has been done in MIT lab and they came up with product shown above.

Isn’t that will be amazing if all of this get within our cell phone in future? Then what we call it Smart Phone? Na I don’t think so, I think we should call them ingenious phones.

New Advancement In The Field Of Artificial Eyes (Part 2)

In the next step they moved already fabricated central plane array and associated electronics from a silicon wafer to the tensioned membrane that is stretched taut over a drum.
When this tension is free, the membrane attains its formal form. This procedure presses the focal plane arrangement.

As a result of this electrical interconnects, which are especially designed, delaminate from the rubber surface and make arcs, fastened on the ends by detector pixels.

By deforming the shape in this way provide housing for strains created during the planar to hemispherical transformation. This is achieved without stressing the silicon. This theory was practically proven by researchers at Northwestern during mechanics modeling.

The array package is then transfer printed to a matching hemispherical glass substrate. Attaching a lens and connecting the camera to external electronics completes the assembly. The camera has the size and shape of a human eye.

The research is going on since the last 20 years. Many scientists have worked to develop electronic eye systems of this type but none of them succeeded in making a working camera.
Roger said that through optics simulations and imaging examination we came to know that these arrangements a much broader field of view.

Not only this but also enhances illumination uniformity and causes fewer aberrations as compared to flat cameras which are having same type of imaging lenses. Roger is the scientist doing research at the Beckman Institute and at the university’s Frederick Setiz Materials Research Laboratory.

He said that hemispherical sensor arrangements are suitable to use as retinal implants as compared to flat sensing elements. It has the ability to cover superior quality silicon devices onto surfaces complicated in structure and biological tissues. This ability the design of electronic and optoelectronic device gets very interesting and powerful capabilities.

Scientists from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Northwestern University developed electronic-eye camera.
The 7th august publish of Nature – a journal – described that scientists have succeeded in preparing a superior, hemispherical “eye” camera. This camera is employing a number of single-crystalline silicon sensors and electronics. Those components are set up in a stretchable and interlinked mesh. These scientists were doing research work at University of Illinois and Northwestern University.
This study work unfolds a new future prospect for progressed camera structures. It also indicates signs for artificial retinas for artificial eyes. Such type of eye-concepts has been used in many popular science fiction movies like “Terminator”.
By enwrapping surfaces with stretchy sheets of optoelectronics we get a practical way for incorporating two-dimensional device technologies onto composite curvilinear objects. It is said by John Rogers who is the Flory-Founder Chair Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at Illinois.
He also said that this idea made it possible to set electronics in positions where it was difficult to place previously. He said that at present we are able to enhance device design beyond the flatland simplicities of formal wafer-based systems.

The design of this newly developed camera is derived from human eye. This design consists of simple, single-constituent lens and a hemispherical sensing element. The sensing element is incorporated with a hemispherical cap and imaging lens system by the camera. This arrangement brings in a system which is having the same size, shape and layout as human eye has.
The scientists doing research work on that created this camera by molding a thin rubber membrane in the form of a hemisphere. After this they elongated that membrane with especially designed mechanical stage to give it a shape of flat drumhead.
