It's an uncanny blend of technology and creativity that has everyone from industry insiders to casual moviegoers sitting up and taking notice. The "Barbie" movie's debut has been postponed in the Middle East until the end of August due to Warner Brothers still working on an edit of the film that will appease the region's censors.

Today we are going to walk you through the implementation of Center Stage as seen in Apple iPads, iMacs, and Macbooks. In our last post we saw how we can use hand gestures for controlling zoom calls using OpenCV and Mediapipe. In this post, we are going to implement a version of Apple's Center Stage technology. Center Stage makes use of Machine Learning and tracks the person using its ultrawide camera. Let us learn how to implement it, shall we?

Microsoft wrapped up its second Ignite conference of the year with announcements of a plethora of new updates, products, and services at the big virtual event last week. Microsoft holds three different types of tech conferences/events every year: one focused on developers (Build), one for channel partners (Inspire), and another for end customers (Ignite). While there weren't a lot of consumer-centric announcements made at this event, the tech giant did pack in a bunch of major announcements on its cloud platform, tools, and services, along with the focus levied on collaboration, artificial intelligence, security, Metaverse, and more. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella addressed Microsoft's take on the Metaverse, which is shaping up as one of the biggest buzzwords of 2022. "As the'digital and physical worlds come together, we are creating an entirely new platform layer, which is the'Metaverse,'" Nadella said.

Digital Twin Earth will help visualize, monitor, and forecast natural and human activity on the planet. The model will be able to monitor the health of the planet, perform simulations of Earth's interconnected system with human behavior, and support the field of sustainable development, therefore, reinforcing Europe's efforts for a better environment in order to respond to the urgent challenges and targets addressed by the Green Deal. ESA's 2020 Φ-week event kicked off this morning with a series of stimulating speeches on Digital Twin Earth, updates on Φ-sat-1, which was successfully launched into orbit earlier this month, and an exciting new initiative involving quantum computing. The third edition of the Φ-week event, which is entirely virtual, focuses on how Earth observation can contribute to the concept of Digital Twin Earth – a dynamic, digital replica of our planet which accurately mimics Earth's behavior. Constantly fed with Earth observation data, combined with in situ measurements and artificial intelligence, the Digital Twin Earth provides an accurate representation of the past, present, and future changes of our world.

The challenges facing society come from our inability to cope with the changes that technology is imposing on individuals and society. Every year I follow the Davos parade, mainly enjoying the fact the leaders of the world gather together to solve global problems while making the lives of everyone in Davos miserable. I read this list over and over again yet the only thing I could think is that my toothbrush might be a more significant immediate threat than any of these. I recently traveled to the US and wanted to pick up a new toothbrush. As I travel a lot, I was looking for a mobile, simple to charge toothbrush.

CES 2017 was set to be the biggest so far, with more exhibitors, products, and visitors than ever before in its 50 year history. But one signal sparked my interest above everything else: increasing focus on how technology brings value over technology per se. It was hard to find anything not labeled "smart" or "intelligent" this year. While just a year ago AI seemed futuristic, people now expect it … and expect it to work straight out of the box. This is because we've reached sufficient maturity in what I call the 4Cs of useful AI: computing, connectivity, cognition, and convergence.

Some of the most popular gadgets over the holiday season were smart speakers with digital assistants from Amazon and Google . Apple is coming out with its own speaker this year; Microsoft and Samsung have partnered on another. As the annual CES gadget show kicks off in Las Vegas this week, manufacturers are expected to unveil even more voice-controlled devices -- speakers and beyond -- as Amazon and Google make their digital assistants available on a wider array of products. If these prove popular, you'll soon be able to order around much more of your house, including kitchen appliances, washing machines and other devices. CES is expected to draw more than 170,000 people, as some 4,000 exhibitors showcase their wares over the equivalent of nearly 50 football fields, or more than 11 New York city blocks.

Auto makers will also demonstrate self-driving vehicles propelled by AI. CES is increasing the space for self-driving technologies by more than a third this year. Startups are expected to unveil earphones that promise real-time translations of conversations in different languages, much as Google's Pixel Buds now do, but only for Google's Pixel phones. There are also conference sessions devoted to high-tech retailing, including the importance of collecting and analyzing data on customers.

So it is with some surprise that this isn't common knowledge. Some say that it's the fact that women are not well represented at conferences, giving the mis-impression that women are not well represented in the industry.

Here's some excellent news: Roughly 53% of statisticians are women. This is up from 5.8% in 1978. So it is with some surprise that this isn't common knowledge. Some say that it's the fact that women are not well represented at conferences, giving the mis-impression that women are not well represented in the industry. So how can we get more women involved in conferences?
