Immersive Learning and the Attention Economy

『V』πšƒ『B』Casts┋
While intrinsically linked to hand and eye-tracking, attention tracking allows headset solution developers to create ‘heatmaps’ of human behaviour. These psychological blueprints create quantitative and qualitative analyses of human-computer interactions, leading to a greater awareness of measurable behavioural responses to stimuli.  According to sources, such technologies create the Internet of Behaviour (IoB). This concept is […]

Much of the recent AI hype train has centered around mesmerizing digital content generated from simple prompts, alongside concerns about its ability to decimate the workforce and make malicious propaganda much more convincing. (Fun!) However, some of AI’s most promising — and potentially much less ominous — work lies in medicine. A new update to Google’s AlphaFold software could lead to new disease research and treatment breakthroughs. AlphaFold software, from Google DeepMind and (the also Alphabet-owned) Isomorphic Labs, has already demonstrated that it can predict how proteins fold with shocking accuracy. It’s cataloged a staggering 200 million known proteins, and Google says millions of researchers have used previous versions to make discoveries in areas like malaria vaccines, cancer treatment and enzyme designs.  Knowing a protein’s shape and structure determines how it interacts with the human body, allowing scientists to create new drugs or improve existing ones. But the ne...

Genomic studies show Papua New Guineans are closely related to Asians, shaped by isolation, adaptation, and Denisovan heritage. Papua New Guineans are living proof of how isolation, ancient genetic mixing, and life on remote islands can preserve a distinct chapter of human history. A group of European scientists has recently clarified their genetic origins, applying [...] http://dlvr.it/TMnnzY
