A New Way to Control and Manipulate Optical Signals 05.05.2024

The modern world of science and technology is developing rapidly, and every day new methods and technologies appear that open up new prospects for us in various fields. One such innovation is the development by German scientists of a new way to control optical signals, which could lead to significant progress in the field of photonics. Recent research has allowed German scientists to create a tunable waveplate inside a fused silica waveguide. This method, based on the use of a liquid crystal layer, allows one to effectively change the polarization of light passing through a waveguide. This technological breakthrough opens up new prospects for the development of compact and efficient photonic devices capable of processing large volumes of data. The electro-optical control of polarization provided by the new method could provide the basis for a new class of integrated photonic devices. This opens up great opportunities for ... >>

Primium Seneca keyboard 05.05.2024

Keyboards are an integral part of our daily computer work. However, one of the main problems that users face is noise, especially in the case of premium models. But with the new Seneca keyboard from Norbauer & Co, that may change. Seneca is not just a keyboard, it is the result of five years of development work to create the ideal device. Every aspect of this keyboard, from acoustic properties to mechanical characteristics, has been carefully considered and balanced. One of the key features of Seneca is its silent stabilizers, which solve the noise problem common to many keyboards. In addition, the keyboard supports various key widths, making it convenient for any user. Although Seneca is not yet available for purchase, it is scheduled for release in late summer. Norbauer & Co's Seneca represents new standards in keyboard design. Her ... >>

The world's tallest astronomical observatory opened 04.05.2024

Exploring space and its mysteries is a task that attracts the attention of astronomers from all over the world. In the fresh air of the high mountains, far from city light pollution, the stars and planets reveal their secrets with greater clarity. A new page is opening in the history of astronomy with the opening of the world's highest astronomical observatory - the Atacama Observatory of the University of Tokyo. The Atacama Observatory, located at an altitude of 5640 meters above sea level, opens up new opportunities for astronomers in the study of space. This site has become the highest location for a ground-based telescope, providing researchers with a unique tool for studying infrared waves in the Universe. Although the high altitude location provides clearer skies and less interference from the atmosphere, building an observatory on a high mountain poses enormous difficulties and challenges. However, despite the difficulties, the new observatory opens up broad research prospects for astronomers. ... >>

Simulation of human behavior in a crowd 11.04.2022

Experiments conducted by researchers at Brown University have shown that each pedestrian in a crowd controls the direction and speed of their movement based on two visual variables.

First, people try to move in such a way that their neighbors remain motionless in their perception. For this, the speed and direction of movement of those who walk nearby must be the same.

Secondly, people prefer that the field of view does not change during movement. Such changes can occur when neighbors move closer or further away. Therefore, pedestrians in the crowd unconsciously try to fix the distance between themselves and their neighbors.

The scientists also found that the participants in the experiment most of all reacted to the movements of their nearest neighbors. Changes in the behavior of those who walked at a distance did not have a strong effect. This is due to two effects, scientists say: the laws of optics and the principles of occlusion. The movements of a distant object seem less pronounced to us, and pedestrians who walk at a distance are partially covered by the backs of their neighbors. This means that it becomes more difficult to track and predict their actions.

To explore individual movement trajectories, scientists used virtual reality. Study participants in a large open room wore VR headsets that showed animated people. The experimenters controlled the movements of virtual characters in the crowd. For example, some people could turn in a different direction while everyone else kept going straight.

The participants in the experiment were asked to move with the crowd, and the scientists tracked how changes in the behavior of virtual characters affected the trajectory of an individual's movement.

Based on the data obtained, the researchers built a model that successfully predicts how each individual person in the crowd will move. According to the researchers, the effectiveness of the model has been proven both in virtual reality and for analyzing the movement of people in a real crowd.
