IoT network will be first to offer commercial LoRaWAN® direct-to-satellite connectivity
TYSONS, VA. – March 9, 2021 – Omnispace, the company reinventing mobile communications, today announced an agreement with Lacuna Space to collaborate on the distribution of a ground-breaking internet of things (IoT) service.
The collaboration will enable the commercial launch of a first-of-its-kind, global, open standards-based IoT network. The service will employ the LoRaWAN® protocol to support direct-to-satellite communications for a broad range of IoT devices. The protocol will utilize the LR-FHSS technology -- specifically designed for high-capacity IoT networks -- with on- orbit operation validated by Lacuna through several years of non-geostationary satellite testing and optimization. Leveraging Omnispace’s licensed, 2GHz S-band spectrum rights, and integrating Omnispace and Lacuna infrastructure, the service will allow devices to connect seamlessly between existing terrestrial networks and previously un-connected regions around the globe.

Unity spun that idea into an arm of its business and is now leveraging its game engine technology to help clients make “digital twins” of real-life objects, environments, and, recently, people. “The real world is so freaking limited,” said Danny Lange, Unity’s senior vice president of artificial intelligence, in Unity’s San Francisco headquarters last October. Speaking with WIRED in 2020, he had told me, “In a synthetic world, you can basically re-create a world that is better than the real world for training systems. And I can create many more scenarios with that data in Unity.” Learn more / En savoir plus / Mehr erfahren: https://www.scoop.it/t/21st-century-innovative-technologies-and-developments/?&tag=VR http://www.scoop.it/t/21st-century-learning-and-teaching/?&tag=Virtual+Reality

Stool tests might provide a useful way to help doctors spot early pancreatic cancer, say researchers.
They have been trialling the concept in a study with 136 volunteers.
The findings, described in the journal Gut, suggest detectable changes involving gut bugs could provide a warning sign that a tumour is present.
Pancreatic cancer often doesn't cause symptoms in the early stages. That means it is usually more advanced and harder to treat when it is found.
As the cancer grows it may cause vague symptoms, such as indigestion, changes to bowel habit and some tummy or back pain. Some people see their GP several times before being diagnosed.

The NATO Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has completed its test run of secure communication flows that could withstand attackers using quantum computing.
Konrad Wrona, principal scientist at the NCSC, told ZDNet that it is becoming increasingly important to create protection schemes against current and future threats.
"Securing NATO's communications for the quantum era is paramount to our ability to operate effectively without fear of interception," Wrona said.
"The trial started in March 2021. The trial was completed in early 2022. Quantum computing is becoming more and more affordable, scalable and practical. The threat of 'harvest now, decrypt later' is one all organizations, including NATO, are preparing to respond to.

Ever since Star Wars first showed space wizards talking to holograms, calling someone and chatting with their 3D simulacrum has become a staple of science fiction. But based on a patent application published in January, it sure looks like FacebookMeta is trying to make 3D conversations a reality right now — even if not quite the way George Lucas envisioned it.
With the disclaimer that many patents never end up becoming an actual product, the patent does hint at how Meta envisions the future of communication.
What’s the patent about?
Meta, then Facebook, filed a Patent Application in 2020 titled 3D Conversations in an Artificial Reality Environment. Specifically, the application outlines a pipeline for capturing and transmitting 3D representations of callers, “allowing conversation participants to appear as if face-to-face.” Learn more / En savoir plus / Mehr erfahren: https://www.scoop.it/topic/21st-century-innovative-technologies-and-developments/?&tag=Hologram

The amount of scams and fraud in the NFT space is overwhelming," the internal letter, which over 400 employees have signed, reads. "We implore you to reconsider."
Indeed, the NFT space is rife with shady dealings and theft. In January, OpenSea, which bills itself as "world's first and largest NFT marketplace," admitted that "over 80%" of NFTs minted using its free minting tool "were plagiarized works, fake collections, and spam.

The platform which sold an NFT of Jack Dorsey's first tweet for $2.9 million has halted most transactions because people were selling tokens of content that did not belong to them, its founder said, calling this a "fundamental problem" in the fast-growing digital assets market.
Sales of NFTs, or non-fungible tokens, soared to around $25 billion in 2021, leaving many baffled as to why so much money is being spent on items that do not physically exist and which anyone can view online for free.
NFTs are crypto assets that record the ownership of a digital file such as an image, video or text. Anyone can create, or "mint," an NFT, and ownership of the token does not usually confer ownership of the underlying item.
Reports of scams, counterfeits and "wash trading" have become commonplace. Learn more / En savoir plus / Mehr erfahren: https://www.scoop.it/topic/21st-century-innovative-technologies-and-developments/?&tag=NFT

First, there was web1 – aka the internet we all know and love. Then there was web2 – the user-generated web, heralded by the arrival of social media. Now, wherever we look, people are talking about web3 (or sometimes, web 3.0) – the supposed next big evolutionary leap forward of the internet. But what is it, exactly?
What is Web3 All About? An Easy Explanation With Examples
Well, opinions on this differ somewhat. Web3 is currently a work-in-progress and isn’t exactly defined yet. However, the main principle is that it will be decentralized – rather than controlled by governments and corporations, as is the case with today’s internet – and, to some extent, connected to the concept of the “metaverse."
Before we start – just to avoid confusion – it’s worth mentioning that, until a few years ago, the term “web 3.0” was frequently used to describe what is now known as the “semantic web." This was a concept put forward by the original "father of the internet," Sir Tim Berners-Lee, for a machine-to-machine internet. Language is defined by its use, and the term is more frequently used to describe something else now. However, Berners-Lee’s concepts are considered to be a part of what we now call web3, although not the entirety of it.

Les spéculations vont bon train sur les places de marché NFT. Pourtant, les risques de se faire avoir sont nombreux, et même de plus en plus. Voici quelques vérités qui font mal.
Le marché des NFT, ces objets de collection virtuels, est en pleine ébullition. On ne compte plus le nombre de punks, singes et autres gorilles dont on peut acheter la trombine, à des prix parfois très élevés. Cette frénésie spéculative incite de plus en plus d’internautes à sauter le pas et à investir leur bas de laine dans ces Ovnis informatiques. Pourtant, les risques de se faire avoir sont très nombreux. Non seulement ce marché est très faiblement régulé, mais son architecture technique est également intrinsèquement déficiente, comme le montre les hacks et arnaques qui sont révélés presque quotidiennement. Voici donc quelques points de réflexion qui devraient vous passer l’envie d'acquérir un NFT.
1) Acheter un NFT, c’est acheter... du vent !

No doubt you’ve been unfortunate enough to hear all the hype about NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens).
If you don’t understand what they are, don’t feel too bad about it. The truth is that many people don’t understand what NFTs are. It’s not that people are dumb, but rather that they’re too intelligent.
Because NFTs simply don’t make any sense to anyone with more than a peanut for a brain. Learn more / En savoir plus / Mehr erfahren: https://www.scoop.it/topic/21st-century-innovative-technologies-and-developments/?&tag=NFT
