#AWE2014

Dyson Electronics Lead and Baidu Institute Scientist headline 2015 Embedded Vision Summit

AWE partner Embedded Vision Alliance is on a mission to inspire and empower hardware and software product creators to use computer vision technology. Computer vision enables the creation of systems and applications that “see and understand.” As part of this mission the Alliance hosts an Embedded Vision Summit. Embedded is a one-day event featuring presentations by industry luminaries, bringing insights into innovative approaches to computer vision. Headlining this year’s Summit is Mike Aldred, Electronics Lead at Dyson and Ren Wu a distinguished scientist at the Baidu Institute of Deep Learning. Aldred has developed software for Dyson’s first bladeless fan, the AMO1, and has managed Dyson’s Electronics Research Group as well, but his main focus has always been to ensure that Dyson produces a world-beating robotic vacuum cleaner. He will talk about his experience in developing a vision-enabled consumer product in his keynote presentation on “Bringing Computer Vision to the Consumer.” Ren leads the effort at Baidu to expand the frontier of deep learning and artificial intelligence via high-performance heterogeneous computing. His latest work, Deep Image, powered by a custom-designed supercomputer dedicated to deep learning and highly optimized for convolutional neural networks, has achieved state-of-the-art performance on image recognition tasks. His dream is to make AI omnipotent and omnipresent. At the 2015 Embedded Vision Summit, Ren will speak on “Enabling Ubiquitous Visual Intelligence Through Deep Learning.” The AWE community is invited to attend the 2015 Embedded Vision Summit on May 12 in Santa Clara, California.

AWE Recap: AR mobile app market set to explode and VR apps help you chill out

AWE Recap: AR mobile app market set to explode and VR apps help you chill out

We live in an AWE-inspiring time where the digital is blurring with the physical through augmented and virtual reality. These spaces are moving fast and it can be hard to keep up with what’s going on. Don’t worry we’ve got you covered! Here’s what you missed this week in AR, VR, and wearables in our AWE Recap. Augmented Reality AR Mobile game market set to explode thanks to smart glasses: A new report from Juniper show AR apps are on the rise. The report forecasts that the AR mobile games market will generate 420 million downloads annually by 2019, up from 30 million in 2014. The jump is mostly attributed to the emergence of smart glasses like Hololens. The report also highlighted the growing interest from enterprise in AR solutions. Sony has officially entered the AR smart glasses market: The Sony SmartEyeglass which was unveiled earlier this year by the company went on sale this week in 10 countries including Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, UK, and the US. The SED-E1 or Developer Edition of EyeGlass can be purchased for $840. AR Apple Watch app lets you put Apple’s first wearable now: A new AR-app by Belgian IT company Underside have launched an app called ARWatch which allows users to see the Apple Watch on their wrists virtually well before the April 10 in-store preview. Pristine and Epson Collaborate to Bring Moverio to Field Services: Smart glasses enterprise solution provider, Pristine, have joined forces with Epson to bring it’s EyeSight platform to Epson’s AR glasses Moverio as part of the Moverio Developer program. The partnership will enable organizations of any size to solve complex business problems using first-person, hands-free remote collaboration solutions Smart glasses to reach 1 billion shipments between 2019-2023: AugmentedReality.org’s smart glasses report forecast that this year we will see approximately 1 million smart glasses ship while this number will increase dramatically to over 10 million by 2018. Virtual Reality VR simulation teaches cops when to shoot: VR isn’t alway about fun and games. A virtual reality application designed by a company called VirTra is being used by Morris County Public Safety Training Academy in Morristown, New Jersey to train its cops on when to shoot based on immersive simulations in VR. Steven Spielberg to direct “Ready Player One”: Get excited! Spielberg is coming back to Warner Brothers to direct the film adaptation of Ernest Cline’s “Ready Player One”, a novel set in 2044 which depicts a VR-centric dystopic future. Suffer from Anxiety Attacks? VR might be the answer: A new VR game is helping those suffering from anxiety calm down by placing them in the bottom of the sea. Deep is a VR game for Oculus created by Owen Harris. The game uses deep breathing exercises and immersive visuals and sound to help users calm down.

Sci-Fi Friday: Meet Lumo, the Interactive Projector

Sci-Fi Friday: Meet Lumo, the Interactive Projector

Welcome to Sci-Fi Fridays, a new weekly blog series from AWE which features emerging technology that feels like it is coming straight out of the movies. This week’s find is an interactive projector called Lumo. Remember when your floor was made of lava? Or when you spent hours exploring magical forests filled with imaginary creatures in your room? Well Lumo takes this imaginary game play to a whole new level by turning the real world into a magical playground for children. It does this by creating an interactive surface that’s big enough to transform any room into an interactive play space. Lumo is a motion-reactive projector which creates a 6’ x 4’ interactive surface which reacts to jumping, kicking, stomping, moving, and waving arms. Lumo is busy building games and experiences for the projector and intends to launch with over a 100 to choose from with the help of the developer community. Lumo will also come with a content creation tool which will equip kids and users to create their own unique experiences to work with the projector. Lumo Play is currently raising $80,000 on Indiegogo for its interactive projector and at the time of writing is already more than half way there with 20 days left on the clock. Early bird backers can grab a projector for $499 USD. Lumo Play CEO, Megthan Athavale, is speaking at this year’s AWE and the Lumo interactive projector will be active on the exhibitor floor to experience the wonder in person. Augmented World Expo (AWE) is the world’s largest conference for professionals focused on making the world more interactive – featuring technologies such as Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality, Wearable Computing, Smart Glasses, Gesture and Sensors devices, and The Internet of Things. Now in our sixth year, AWE 2015 is our biggest event yet with over 3,000 tech professionals, 200 demos, 100+ AWE-inspiring talks and over 150 participating companies. Tickets are on sale now....

Project Tango Lead Johnny Lee Added as Keynote Speaker at AWE 2015

Project Tango Lead Johnny Lee Added as Keynote Speaker at AWE 2015

Google’s Project Tango is set to change computer vision and robotics by concentrating this technology into a mobile device. The Google team is developing smartphones and tablets that can track 3D motion and create 3D models of the environment around it allowing you to map the world around you in real-time. In doing so, Tango unlocks some unique opportunities in directions, dimensions and environmental maps as well as the creation of immersive augmented reality experiences that merge the digital and the physical world. Johnny Lee is leading Project Tango and we are excited to announce that he has been added as a keynote speaker to the Augmented World Expo speaker lineup. Lee will be present some of the underlying technologies that are making Project Tango possible such as hardware sensors and software algorithms. Lee’s keynote will also include demonstrations of the current state of Tango and will speak to the role of 3D sensing in mobile gaming, indoor navigation, virtual reality, augmented reality, and autonomous drones. Before Project Tango, Lee helped Google X explore new projects as Rapid Evaluator and was a core algorithms contributor to the original Xbox Kinect. His YouTube videos demonstrating Wii remote hacks have surpassed over 15 million views and became one of the most popular TED talk videos. In 2008, he received his PhD in Human-Computer Interaction from Carnegie Mellon University and has been recognized in MIT Technology Review’s TR35.
