"Haptic technologies, juntamente com Realidade Virtual, Realidade Aumentada e Visualização 3D, ganham desenvoltura e avançam nas aplicações profissionais. A rápida evolução háptica tem uma explicação explicita: 5G. Às portas das redes de 5G, os mercados de wearables, como roupas ou gadgets vestíveis, estão cada vez mais enredados em aplicações que utilizem sensores integrados, biossensores, motores, vibradores, ‘mechanoreceptors’, ‘afferent nerves’ e outros elementos táteis que produzam algum insight sensível no corpo humano. A banda 5G possui combinadamente (1) altíssima velocidade; (2) conexão massiva de dispositivos (mais de um milhão por quilometro quadrado) e (3) baixíssimo tempo de resposta (baixa latência). Ou seja, um único vestível poderá conter cerca de 150 sensores funcionando sem interferência, em alta velocidade e com tempo de resposta inferior a 10 milissegundos (em 4G: de 50 a 80 milissegundos). Nessa dimensão, a Internet das Coisas (IoT) se tornará a Internet dos Corpos (IoB - Internet of Bodies), permitindo que pessoas atualizem seu personal-link, adicionando dispositivos, sensores ou chips em seus corpos. Nesse movimento (repleto de neologismos) retorna, por exemplo, a “Internet Tátil”, um conceito proposto em 2014 por Gerhard Fettweis, da Technical University of Dresden, que identifica uma estrutura tecnológica só possível com as latências ultrabaixas de 5G".

No need for fancy wireless anything when communicating between medical devices

By Prachi Patel | IEEE Spectrum | On April 16, 2022 | 3 min read

"Pacemakers, implantable insulin pumps, neural implants, and other in vivo medical devices all need a way to send their data to the outside world. But ways to do that wirelessly, which would be more comfortable for patients, lend themselves to security risks, biocompatibility issues, and high power consumption. Researchers have now tapped into the charge stored by the body’s natural ions to transmit low-power wireless data from bio-implants. “The body has an abundance of ions, and we are able to show you can establish long distance and very low power communication,” says Dion Khodagholy, an electrical engineering professor at Columbia University."

Accessibility, adaptability, and transparency of Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) tools and the data they collect will likely impact how we collectively navigate a new digital age. This discussion reviews some of the diverse and transdisciplinary applications of BCI technology and draws speculative inferences about the ways in which BCI tools, combined with machine learning (ML) algorithms may shape the future. BCIs come with substantial ethical and risk considerations, and it is argued that open source principles may help us navigate complex dilemmas by encouraging experimentation and making developments public as we build safeguards into this new paradigm. Bringing open-source principles of adaptability and transparency to BCI tools can help democratize the technology, permitting more voices to contribute to the conversation of what a BCI-driven future should look like. Open-source BCI tools and access to raw data, in contrast to black-box algorithms and limited access to summary data, are critical facets enabling artists, DIYers, researchers and other domain experts to participate in the conversation about how to study and augment human consciousness. Looking forward to a future in which augmented and virtual reality become integral parts of daily life, BCIs will likely play an increasingly important role in creating closed-loop feedback for generative content. Brain-computer interfaces are uniquely situated to provide artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms the necessary data for determining the decoding and timing of content delivery. The extent to which these algorithms are open-source may be critical to examine them for integrity, implicit bias, and conflicts of interest.

"The key concept behind neural rendering approaches is that they are differentiable. A differentiable function is one whose derivative exists at each point in the domain. This is important because machine learning is basically the chain rule with extra steps: a differentiable rendering function can be learned with data, one gradient descent step at a time. Learning a rendering function statistically through data is fundamentally different from the classic rendering methods".

Lem was a Polish writer of science fiction and essays on various subjects, including philosophy, futurology, and literary criticism. Many of his science fiction stories are of satirical and humorous character.

Will Wright was inspired to develop the first city-building simulation video game by reading "The Seventh Sally", a short story from The Cyberiad by Stanisław Lem , in which an engineer encounters a deposed tyrant, and creates a miniature city with artificial citizens for the tyrant to oppress.

By Dom Barnard | virtualspeech.com | UPDATED AUGUST 2020 - 11 MIN READ

A Historic Journey from Sir Charles Wheatstone (1838) to PlayStation VR (2019) and The Oculus Quest 2 (2020).

Will Wright (1960) developed the world’s first city-building simulation video game, the SimCity; the first computer game Wright designed was Raid on Bungeling Bay in 1984, but it was SimCity that brought him to prominence. The game was released by Maxis, a company Wright formed with Jeff Braun, and he built upon the game's theme of computer simulation with numerous other titles including SimEarth and SimAnt.

How Will Wright Created a Phenomenon

A documentary about how the genius Will Wright made SimCity, one of the most important computer games ever made. Going through his inspiration, his struggles, the formation of Maxis, the mainstream success, plus several versions of the game and some of its successors.

Raid on Bungeling Bay was the first video game designed by Will Wright. It was published by Broderbund for the Commodore 64 in 1984. The Commodore 64 version was published in the UK by Ariolasoft. The game inspired Wright to develop SimCity in 1989.

Raid on Bungeling Bay is a 2D shoot 'em up. The player controls a helicopter launched from an aircraft carrier to bomb six factories scattered across islands on a small planetoid occupied by the Bungeling Empire (frequent villains in Broderbund games), while fending off escalating counterattacks by gun turrets, fighter jets, guided missiles, and a battleship. .

SimCity, also known as Micropolis or SimCity Classic, is a city-building simulation video game developed by Will Wright and released for a number of platforms from 1989 to 1991. SimCity features two-dimensional graphics and an overhead perspective. The objective of the game is to create a city, develop residential and industrial areas, build infrastructure, and collect taxes for further development of the city. Importance is placed on increasing the standard of living of the population, maintaining a balance between the different sectors, and monitoring the region's environmental situation to prevent the settlement from declining and going bankrupt. The structuralist dynamics of the game were in part inspired by the work of two architectural and urban theorists, Christopher Alexander and Jay Forrester.

SimCity was independently developed by Will Wright beginning in 1985, and would not see its first release until 1989.[2][3] Because the game lacked any of the arcade or action elements that dominated the video game market in the 1980s, video game publishers declined to release the title in fear of its commercial failure, until Broderbund eventually agreed to distribute it. Although the game initially sold poorly, positive feedback from the gaming press boosted its sales. After becoming a best-seller, SimCity was released on several other platforms, most notably on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) in 1991, in which its gameplay was significantly revised with Nintendo's involvement. .

Neal Stephenson (1959) é um escritor americano apontado como ter cunhado o termo Metaverso no livro Snow Crash. Suas obras de ficção especulativa exploram matemática, criptografia, linguística, filosofia, moeda e história da ciência. Seus romances foram categorizados como ficção científica, ficção histórica, cyberpunk, pós- cyberpunk e barroco.

Second Life (SL) evolved as an idea by founder and former Linden Lab CEO, Philip Rosedale (aka Philip Linden). He envisioned a vast green, continuous landscape, distributed across multiple servers — and went on to build it. While he dreamed of virtual worlds since his childhood, in 1994, Rosedale first thought of connecting computers via the Internet and creating a virtual world. In 1999, he founded Linden Lab (LL). Andrew Linden stated that Linden Lab started as a hardware company geared towards the research and development of haptics. Although work was underway on a prototype called "The Rig, haptics were subsequently abandoned due to heavy patent concentration. The Linden Lab employees — commonly known as "Lindens" — needed a virtual world to go with their hardware, so in 2001 they started building "LindenWorld", as described in an early news story.

Philip Rosedale (1968) is an American entrepreneur who founded Linden Lab, which develops and hosts the virtual world Second Life.

Tony Parisi, one of the early pioneers in virtual reality, is an entrepreneur, researcher and developer of 3D computer software. The co-creator of Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML), he has written books and papers on the future of technology. He worked on WebGL and WebVR and has written two books on the former, and an introductory book on virtual reality programming. Parisi is former head of AR/VR at Unity. He was also an early leader in Web3D and virtual reality, the inventor of VRML (the original standard for 3D graphics on the web) and co-creator of glTF, the open file format that today powers millions of 3D objects.

Peter Vessenes has deep roots in digital currency, tokenization, and blockchain. An early adopter of Bitcoin (he started mining in 2010), he is considered a crypto pioneer: he founded the first venture-backed Bitcoin company; the first company to deliver 65nm, 1TH/s Bitcoin mining systems at scale; created the first global Bitcoin conference; co-founded the Bitcoin Foundation; and was the first crypto industry person in the world to advise the US Senate GAO, The US Treasury, and other agencies about Bitcoin. In 2016, Vessenes launched New Alchemy, a leading provider of blockchain technology, strategy, and capital solutions to some of the world’s most innovative companies, and in 2020 he co-founded Noteworthy, producing nation-state grade physical banknotes that secure Bitcoin and other digital currencies. Currently, Vessenes serves as the CEO and Chief Cryptographer of LAMINA1, a Metaverse-first Blockchain which he co-founded with Snow Crash author Neal Stephenson. He continues to invent, incubate, invest in, and advise highly-disruptive startups through his venture capital firm and family office Capital 6.
