... With the introduction of VR immersion, participants learn and practice healthy parenting skills in a 360-degree environment. Each VR interaction is guided by a lesson plan and managed by DOC staff, who have the ability to adapt and customize the situations in real time.
"The overwhelming majority of incarcerated parents will return to their families and communities at the conclusion of their prison sentence, and the DOC is committed to setting them up for success," said Acting Secretary Little. "Practice makes perfect, and we hope role playing with the assistance of virtual avatars will help parents and children see beyond facility walls and build stronger families and safer communities."
Children do not have to travel to a DOC facility to participate. Community providers Amachi Pittsburgh and Public Health Management Corporation (PHMC) in Philadelphia facilitate the virtual reality visits for participating children and offer support services to their families. ...
"In our work with incarcerated individuals, we know that it is extremely important to have family support, including engagement with children," said Laurie A. Corbin, PHMC managing director for community engagement. "We hope the parent and child will have a fun and educational experience which will provide them with happy memories despite their physical separation from each other." ...

... The patented technique, submitted on April 1, 2022, by Sony Interactive Entertainment LLC, uses mesh information from a human actor. He has been photographed in three dimensions to record the depth of the face. This polygonal mesh is often hand-made by animators utilizing the vertices dots on a mocap actor’s face as a reference source.
It is used in game development to create precise human models. Currently, most triple-A videogame production uses this technique, including the forthcoming Spider-Man 2 from Insomniac. While employing a combination of 3D and 2D cameras to train an artificial intelligence program that can precisely record facial expressions and construct mesh data without human involvement, this system would automatically generate mesh data.
This invention utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) to create tasks that previously required a lot of manual effort, which aligns with industry trends. The usage of AI in the video game business has significantly increased recently. Tasks range from interpolating frames for smoother gameplay to upscaling texture resolution. In truth, using AI in triple-A games isn’t new to the gaming community. Recently, Rockstar Games faced criticism for employing AI upscaling in their GTA Trilogy remake, which resulted in some unpleasant spelling errors on various items. ...
A data fabric is an architecture and software that offers a unified collection of data assets, databases, and database architectures within an enterprise. It facilitates the end-to-end integration of various data pipelines and cloud environments through the use of intelligent and automated systems.
Data fabrics have become more important as major developments continue to take place with the hybrid cloud, internet of things (IoT), AI, and edge computing. This has caused a massive increase in big data, which means organizations have even more to manage. ...
What’s the Purpose of a Data Fabric?
Data fabrics are used to establish a unified view of the associated data, which facilitates access to information regardless of its location, database association, or structure. Data fabrics also simplify analysis with AI and machine learning.
Another purpose of a data fabric is to facilitate application development since it creates a common model for accessing information separate from the traditional application and database silos.
... “My name is Clarence Robinson, but everyone calls me 'Robbie.' I like that better because — 'Clarence' — people like to tease me about that name,” the 87-year-old laughed. ...
... “He [Robinson] gets everything connected to the WiFi and he can navigate everything to find something that appeals to them. And he’s their age, so to have a peer instead of someone much younger coming in to do something, they feel like they’re all on the same page,” said Leno.
Leno said after Robinson gets people set up with the goggles, they can choose their own experience. “It’s amazing because someone is visiting a national park; someone’s at an Elvis concert; another is listening to Mozart and watching the conductor.”
Leno said the virtual reality goggles make a huge difference for seniors who have trouble focusing on a task for more than a few minutes.
“When you turn on music and [they hear] their favorite conductor — we’ve got some residents who would be disengaged with any activities after five minutes — but with this, they’re completely engaged for 20, 30, 40 minutes and it’s amazing to see.” ...
Worldwide Investment in Startups and Scaleups Using AI:
2018 $72 billion
2019 $65 billion
2020 $69.5 billion
2021 $111.4 billion
2022 $47.5 billion (projected)
Benaich and Hogarth also looked at the prevalence of AI “unicorns” emerging across nations of the world. concluding the United States leads in these high-potential startups, followed by China and the United Kingdom. A total 292 AI unicorns emerged within the US in 2022, with a combined enterprise value of $4.6 trillion. Overall, they add, “despite significant drop in investment in US based startups and scaleups using AI, they still account for more than half of the AI investment worldwide.”
Also in 2022, the big tech companies continued to “expand their AI clouds and form large partnerships with AI startups,” Benaich and Hogarth state. ...
