A look into the development of VR technologies and the current and future applications of Virtual Reality for entertainment, education, science, medicine and much more.
The Syrians and the “Block”
That was in March 2011, shortly before the outbreak of the revolution, in a conversation with a well-known Syrian activist about a dispute that broke out between her and another well-known activist over organizing a public protest activity in Damascus. Facebook, so she rested her head by making her a "block"!

The Streaming Wars of 2022 were always going to bring about a number of changes to the way the entertainment market currently works — globally as well as locally — but these seem to have started happening at a faster pace. Just a few days ago Disney announced its plans for an ad-supported tier for Disney Plus and now Netflix moves ahead with its own plans regarding password sharing (the use of its service by people who are not paying subscribers).

The metaverse is tipped to completely transform the internet as we know it. But to most of us, the metaverse is not much more than a confusing jumble of big-tech jargon, sci-fi fiction and crypto nonsense.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has been busy making slightly creepy videos trying to sell us on the metaverse. He thinks it won’t be long before we’re all hanging out in our digital space ships, playing cards with weird-looking robot avatars, gasping at trippy 3D NFT street art, and occasionally dropping into our mixed reality workplaces.
Shane Peter ConroyPublished 2 years ago in 01On the Nature of Time
Though I have no credentials in either physics or philosophy, since childhood I have been curious about the nature of time. Over the years I have come to suspect that time is multi-dimensional and that alternative realities may exist side-by-side (if I may appropriate spatial terminology) in time. I prefer to call this phenomenon diverging realities rather than parallel universes because:

Augmented reality app development is all about living the scenes from our favourite science-fiction movies. From Stanley Kubrick’s acclaimed movie 2001: A Space Odyssey to James Cameroon’s magnum opus Avatar, if the science-fiction movies all had one common factor in hand, it was the prediction of futuristic tech concepts. Minority Report did it. Back to the Future did it. Blade Runner did it. And the list could go on.

About five years or so ago I remember having an indicia induced conversation with one of my best friends. During that conversation my friend would deduce a Nostradamus type theory that has without a doubt come to fruition. He said “watch, ten years from now we won’t be living in this reality. We’ll be living completely virtual”. It’s probably the most forethought he’s had or will ever have in his life, but he hit the nail on the head. I never did give it a thought or an ounce of my intellectual effort to look into. Now however, virtual reality and virtual living cannot be ignored. Virtual life is here and it is here to stay, and in my opinion, it is exponentially terrifying.

The world of advertising in recent years has been changing rapidly. Consumers are becoming more aware of the practices used by companies, so it is no longer enough to show a beautiful woman or man using specific products. The goal of every advertising agency is, at least in part, to influence consumer behavior so that they can get people's attention through any means possible.
Digital Twin in the Electric Utilities Industry — 3D Visualization Electric Substation
As the core component of the power grid, the emergence of smart substations has changed the traditional substation operation and maintenance mode. Utilizing the digital twin 3D model and visualizing the data in real-time or historically, digital transformation is becoming a standard rather than an exception by now.
How the district heating system works
District heating (also known as heat networks or teleheating) is a system for distributing heat generated in a centralized location through a system of insulated pipes for residential and commercial heating requirements such as space heating and water heating.
