As shared on Auganix : The Royal Navy has announced this week that it is embracing virtual reality (VR) in order to train its sailors in cutting-edge new navigation simulators. According to the Navy, sailors will utilize VR headsets to take them into a naval metaverse, immersing them in key – and sometimes dangerous – maneuvers, all from the safety of a naval base. The VR headsets will be just one facet of new state-of-the-art replica ship’s bridges, with software capable of recreating the entire fleet, harbors and waters around the globe, and challenging weather conditions by day and night. HMS Collingwood in Fareham, Britannia Royal Naval College in Dartmouth, and the home of the Submarine Service in Faslane will all receive the new trainers. The services are being provided to the Royal Navy by Kongsberg Digital , a Norwegian software company that provides a range of advanced simulation systems for maritime education. “A number of naval academies world-wide are today heavi...

The oil and gas sector is a highly technical, scientific industry and benefits significantly from using animation. Showing a process and formation in a visual format, which is otherwise unable to be seen and easily understood, goes a long way for marketing, training, tool design, and more. This article will share some of the essential topics that benefit from animation services in the oil and gas sector.  Let’s start with the beginning stage of exploration.  Exploration Animations Oil & gas animations can explain the formation of rocks, reservoirs, and land structures. This visual enables drilling companies, tool manufacturers, and scientists to determine the best tools, optimize the drilling process, and explain how the system works to employees. Examples of animations of this type include land cut-out animations, downhole drilling animations, offshore land rig animations, 3D seismic videos, and more. Refinery Animations The refinery topic in oil and gas cover...

Microsoft Corp. unveiled new versions of its Bing internet-search engine and Edge browser powered by the newest technology from ChatGPT maker OpenAI, aiming to gain ground on Google’s web-search juggernaut by being first to offer a more conversational alternative for finding answers on the web and creating content. “This technology is going to reshape pretty much every software category,” Microsoft Chief Executive Officer Satya Nadella said at an event Tuesday at the company’s Redmond, Washington, headquarters. It’s “high time” innovation was restored to internet search, he said. The new Bing, which runs on an OpenAI language model that is more advanced than the one behind ChatGPT, can be switched in and out of chat mode, and users can tap the bot to compose emails. The new Edge browser adds the AI-based Bing for chat and writing text, and it can summarize web pages and respond conversationally to queries. The answers come with citations to their sources, so users can see where ...

A majority of Democrats now think one term is plenty for President Joe Biden, despite his insistence that he plans to seek reelection in 2024. That’s according to a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research that shows just 37% of Democrats say they want him to seek a second term, down from 52% in the weeks before last year’s midterm elections. While Biden has trumpeted his legislative victories and ability to govern, the poll suggests relatively few U.S. adults give him high marks on either. Follow-up interviews with poll respondents suggest that many believe the 80-year-old’s age is a liability, with people focused on his coughing, his gait, his gaffes and the possibility that the world’s most stressful job would be better suited for someone younger. “I, honestly, think that he would be too old,” said Sarah Overman, 37, a Democrat who works in education in Raleigh, North Carolina. “We could use someone younger in the office.” As...

Former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers said a “soft landing” for the US economy is looking more likely, though inflation gauges remain too high. “I’d say I’m encouraged, but I still think it would be a mistake to say we’re out of the woods,” Summers said in an interview on CNN’s “Fareed Zakaria GPS” broadcast Sunday. Inflation indicators remain “unimaginably high” compared to two or three years ago, and getting back to the Federal Reserve’s target “may still prove quite difficult,” he said. With the pace of US price increases slowing, the economy added 517,000 new jobs in January, far exceeding estimates and driving the unemployment rate to 3.4%, the lowest since 1969.  “It looks more possible that we’ll have a soft landing than it did a few months ago,” Summers said. On Friday, Summers highlighted the risk of a sudden downturn in the economy after the surge in jobs growth.  The question is whether the income will be spent and lift the economy or whether companies a...

Results from 6-year-old Anastasia Weaver’s autopsy may take weeks. But online anti-vaccine activists needed only hours after her funeral this week to baselessly blame the COVID-19 vaccine. A prolific Twitter account posted Anastasia’s name and smiling dance portrait in a tweet with a syringe emoji. A Facebook user messaged her mother, Jessica Day-Weaver, to call her a “murderer” for having her child vaccinated. In reality, the Ohio kindergartner had experienced lifelong health problems since her premature birth, including epilepsy, asthma and frequent hospitalizations with respiratory viruses. “The doctors haven’t given us any information other than it was due to all of her chronic conditions. … There was never a thought that it could be from the vaccine,” Day-Weaver said of her daughter’s death. But those facts didn’t matter online, where Anastasia was swiftly added to a growing list of hundreds of children, teens, athletes and celebrities whose unexpected deaths and injuries have...
