Artificial Intelligence and Machine Vision

In this blog, I will talk about how to create AR Glasses using the current technologies available. This is about creating a practical pair of glasses one can wear daily. I have three versions. - Basic AR Glasses - Sports AR Glasses - Ultimate AR Glasses Basic AR Glasses What is: - A practical pair of glasses one can wear daily. - Wirelessly connected to a computing platform. - This computing platform can be a standalone platform. Computing Platform - If we create our AR Glasses to use iPhone or Android phone, we don't have to ask our users to carry a separate computing platform. - But we will be dependent on Apple, Google or Samsung eco system. - This can be a stand alone platform. - If it is a stand alone platform, it should be able to charge AR Glasses directly from it, wired or wirelessly. - If it is a standalone platform, it should be a smart phone customized for AR Glasses. - If we plan to make a non-smartphone platform to replac...

How to Create a holographic display and camcorder In the last part of the series, I talked about why the depth sensors may not be ideal for a consumer grade camcorder. These depth sensors lack Miniaturized form factor Cost effectiveness  Poor weather handling Noticeable noise errors Due to these limitations, the holographic display and camcorder will use other depth sensor alternatives. What are the depth sensor alternatives? Cameras We can use one or more cameras.  When we use a camera or more, we can retrieve the depth information. These camera configurations are Monocular Camera Stereoscopic Cameras N-View Cameras For the first prototype, we will limit our use case to indoors. I haven't decided if I should use a monocular camera, stereoscopic cameras or n-view cameras.  This may largely decided by how much time I have available.  Likely, I will use all these camera configurations to compare and contrast the results over the design an...

Since the invention of a camcorder, we haven't seen much of advancement of a video camcorder. Sure, there are few interesting, new features like capturing video in 360 or taking high resolution 4K content. But the content is still in 2D and we still watch it on a 2D display. Have you seen the movie Minority Report (2002)? There is a scene where Tom Cruise is watching a video recording of his lost son in 3D or holographically. Here is a video clip of this scene. I have been waiting for the technological advancement to do this, but it's not here yet. So I decided to build one myself. In order to build a holographic video camcorder, we need two devices. 1) a video recorder - a recorder which captures the video content in 3D or holographically. 2) a video display - a display device which shows the recorded holographic content in 3D or holographically. Do we have a technology to record a video, holographically. Yes, we can now do it, and I'll e...

Observations Time does not exist. Time is an artifact of motion in space dimension. eg) in Nth dimension, the motion of an object in space creates an illustration of time. One should not use time as a point of reference in space dimension. With an instrument in Nth dimension space, One can create a zero-time gap between dimension-location A1 and A2, without a space travel. eg) let t1 is observed at a1, and let t2 is observed at a2. eg) with any instrument at a2, a1 @ t1 can be observed by a2 @ t2. The zero-time gap seems uni-directional. Q1: Can a1 @ t1 observe a2 @ t2 with an instrument of t2 in a2 space dimension? Q2: How does the a2 instrument allows the direct link between a2 and a2 space, without space travel? Given: t2 is later time than t1. Observation: T2 isn't observed yet. T1 is observed, or happened. At T2, an event is injected at T1 by observation. Then, T1' is observed. T1 no longer exists. T1 != T1' Summary: Future A2 can ...
