Carloudy: Futuristic Head-Up Display on Your Windshield

Cognitive AI Technologies Inc. is raising funds for Carloudy: Futuristic Head-Up Display on Your Windshield on Kickstarter!

Carloudy is World's First E-Ink, Smart, Wireless Head Up Display for Every Car that Works Perfect Under Bright Sunlight and Evening.
Sara Mautino's insight:

Microencapsulated electrophoretic displays.

Adopting a similar technology to that of a Kindle Reader, Carloudy is based on a E-Inked based material, with its working principle analogous to that of an electrophoretic display.

'Digital skin' activates brain cells - BBC News

'Digital skin' activates brain cells - BBC News | HMD hot spot | Scoop.it
Engineers have built a flexible sensor that detects touch and, just like skin, produces electrical pulses that get faster when the pressure increases.

They have also used those pulses to drive neuronal activity in a slice of mouse brain.

They say the system is a more faithful replica of touch sensation than many other designs for artificial skin, making it a promising option for the development of responsive prosthetics.

The work appears in Science magazine.

The main advantage, according to senior author Zhenan Bao, is that the bendy, plastic-based sensor directly produces a pattern of pulses that makes sense to the nervous system.
Wearable tech

"Previously, with plastic material, we and others in the field have been able to make sensitive touch sensors - but the electrical signal that comes out from the sensor is not the right format for the brain to be able to interpret it," she told the BBC.

That means that other designs, although they have produced some remarkable results in tests with patients, have required a processor or a computer to "translate" the touch information.

"Our sensor is now coupled with a printed, simple electronic circuit. That circuit allows our sensor to generate electrical pulses that can communicate with the brain," said Prof Bao, a chemical engineer at Stanford University.

"We see this as the first step towards using plastic materials for artificial skin on prosthetic limbs."

How One Intelligent Machine Learned to Recognize Human Emotions | MIT Technology Review | HMD hot spot | Scoop.it
Nobody knew how to identify people’s emotional states by looking at their brain waves. Then a machine learning algorithm stepped in.
Sara Mautino's insight:

"When it comes to communication, humans are hugely sensitive to each other’s emotional states. Indeed, most people expect their emotional state to be taken into account by their correspondents. And when this happens, communication tends to be more effective."

RECCOMENDATION: such matter is to be handled with immense SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY and humanism or it may be dangerous.
