Holodeck Design Lab by Nvidia

10.10.2017

Nvidia has announced the opening of early access to Nvidia Holodeck, an intelligent virtual reality platform for developers.

The Nvidia Holodeck platform allows designers, developers, and customers around the world to collaboratively create and analyze designs in a physically-based, high-realism virtual environment.

Photorealism and immersiveness stimulate creativity, enhance the understanding of a scene or model, simplify the analysis process, and eliminate the need for a physical prototype. With realistic graphics, physically based simulation, and collaboration support, Holodeck is already being used as a powerful, productive design lab for AI modules trained with the Nvidia Isaac simulator.

Developers of products, applications, and other 3D content will benefit from the Nvidia Holodeck. Rendering large, highly detailed models with high realism in real time at real scale. Developers can save a lot of time by focusing on the project instead of simplifying complex models to speed up VR.

Creation and interaction with people, robots and objects in a physically correct environment. By understanding how a project looks, feels, sounds, and behaves in different environments before it's physically released, developers can create better and more reliable products.

Natural real-time collaboration in the same virtual space. Even if teams are located in different parts of the world, they can still work together on a project to create and bring better products to market faster.

Efficient workflow with artificial intelligence (AI) modeling tools. Smart machines can be assembled and trained in a physically based Holodeck environment faster, cheaper, and more reliably.

Future updates to Holodeck will bring support for growing interest in deep learning algorithms in a virtual environment to train, model, create content, and explore new ideas with the help of artificial intelligence.

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Major risk factor for gambling addiction 07.05.2024

Computer games are becoming an increasingly popular form of entertainment among teenagers, but the associated risk of gaming addiction remains a significant problem. American scientists conducted a study to determine the main factors contributing to this addiction and offer recommendations for its prevention. Over the course of six years, 385 teenagers were followed to find out what factors may predispose them to gambling addiction. The results showed that 90% of study participants were not at risk of addiction, while 10% became gambling addicts. It turned out that the key factor in the onset of gambling addiction is a low level of prosocial behavior. Teenagers with a low level of prosocial behavior do not show interest in the help and support of others, which can lead to a loss of contact with the real world and a deepening dependence on virtual reality offered by computer games. Based on these results, scientists ... >>

Traffic noise delays the growth of chicks 06.05.2024

The sounds that surround us in modern cities are becoming increasingly piercing. However, few people think about how this noise affects the animal world, especially such delicate creatures as chicks that have not yet hatched from their eggs. Recent research is shedding light on this issue, indicating serious consequences for their development and survival. Scientists have found that exposure of zebra diamondback chicks to traffic noise can cause serious disruption to their development. Experiments have shown that noise pollution can significantly delay their hatching, and those chicks that do emerge face a number of health-promoting problems. The researchers also found that the negative effects of noise pollution extend into the adult birds. Reduced chances of reproduction and decreased fertility indicate the long-term effects that traffic noise has on wildlife. The study results highlight the need ... >>

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 ... >>

Social media and depression 02.04.2016

Social networks help us to meet new people, communicate, develop, etc. But everything has a dark side, and there are already a number of psychological works, the results of which indicate the not so good influence of Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Snapchat and other similar services on the psyche. So far, however, the results of such studies have been mixed, both because of the small number of statistics and because their authors have focused on a single network platform.

Psychologists from the University of Pittsburgh tried to address both of these objections: their statistics cover data on the psychological state of almost 1 people aged 800 to 19 who used the 32 most popular social Internet services (the aforementioned Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Snapchat plus Reddit, Tumblr , Pinterest, Instagram, Vine and LinkedIn).

On average, each survey participant spent 61 minutes a day on them, logging into their accounts 30 times a week. But this is an average, and after all, someone spends more time on the Internet, someone less. Here again, network activity was compared with the level of depression, and it turned out, as they say in an article in Depression and Anxiety, that the more often a person went to social networks and the longer he sat in them, the more depressed he was.

Thus, if assessed by the frequency of visits, then those who visited the social network site most often felt psychologically 2,7 times worse than those who visited the social network less often than others. And if you evaluate by the time spent on Facebook, Twitter, etc., then here some "users" differed in depression from others by 1,7 times. Of course, these figures were obtained, as they say, ceteris paribus, that is, the researchers also took into account the influence of other factors that could stimulate depression, from age and gender to income level and living conditions.

Can we conclude from this that social networks provoke depression? Not quite - the authors of the work themselves clarify that in this case we are dealing with a purely correlative pattern, and what is the cause and what is the consequence is not yet clear. It may well be that just a person with increased anxiety, consumed by sadness and longing, rushes to the social network in the hope of alleviating, so to speak, mental suffering.

On the other hand, it is not difficult to imagine how exactly Twitter or Facebook can spoil the mood. Firstly, they make us think about someone else's wonderful life - looking at happy photos and reading other people's happy posts, we sooner or later think about what kind of losers we are; secondly, this feeling of wasted time; thirdly, it is scolding, quarrels and scandals, for which the Internet is so rich.
