Our world is becoming more and more a melange of bits and atoms. The boundaries between cyberspace and physical space are blurred to the point that we no longer perceive a difference between the two and we are living into a Digital Reality. More than that.The pervasiveness of bits (and …

Smart, smart home Using smart materials it will be possible to build walls that change their characteristics, like become more or less insulating depending on the inside-outside temperature and the one we feel comfortable, thus decreasing the use of heating/cooling. They can also change their surface reflectivity, again to improve …

New Realities As technology progresses the world of bits and the world of atoms fade into a single reality. However, this reality will be dependent on the mediation devices that will be used, both hardware and software devices. The rooting of reality into the devices used to capture it is …

There is quite a bit of confusion when we talk (and hear) about resolution. Resolution is measured in pixel per inch, that is how many different points are in an inch. On a 4k television you have 3,840 points horizontally and 2,160 vertically. How many per inch? Well that depends …

9. Digital Realilty The cyberspace has become so pervasive in terms of usage and its access so seamless in every moment of our life that we are starting to lose the perception of a separation between the reality of atoms and the ones of bits. They are starting to merge …

Sony researchers were due to present a paper at CHI 2020,  scheduled at the end of April in Honolulu, Hawaii, but because of the epidemic the conference was cancelled. Their paper, however, is available. And it is a paper worth reading. The title, “Evaluation of Machine Learning Techniques for hand …

I read a few articles on Portl, watched a few video clips (there is one at the end of this post) and I should say I am impressed. It seems too good to be true, and as the say goes may be it is not. I sent request for contact …

In the previous post I pointed out that Digital Reality is becoming Reality not just for products but also for Systems, including complex systems like telecommunications networks. Here I point out that Digital Reality is becoming “Reality” also for processes. This is of particular interest, and significance, for the manufacturing …

Interestingly digitalisation/softwarization is happening not just at product/equipment level but also at system/network level. An airplane engine (turbine) has its digital twin, creating a digital model in the cyberspace that can be used in many ways, including the provisioning of information via virtual and augmented reality to designers, maintenance crew, …

If we go back to industry, we see that more and more products are a mixture of hardware and software. Whilst in the past software was totally embedded, and in the end just a different sort of “material”, nowadays, more and more, software is decoupled from the hardware, it might …
