What if we Integrate Artificial Intelligence with AR/VR?

#artificialintelligence

Are your customers bored of chatting with a UI to resolve their problems? What if you could provide an Intelligent Live Interaction Environment to resolve their queries without human intervention and without investing your precious time on a thousand lines of code? If you felt all dizzy with ecstasy just by reading it and strongly feel that your customers could do you some good with a live environment exclusively built for them, well, congratulations! You've landed in just the right space. In this article, I'll be explaining how you can use Amazon Sumerian to Develop Virtual Assistants and Intriguing Applications for your customers.


Building AR/VR with Amazon Sumerian Two Goats

#artificialintelligence

Amazon Web Services is the biggest cloud computing platform out there -- so they needed all of the Javits Center to celebrate it. Of course, Two Goats showed up to take inventory of the newest AWS tools for VR and AR development. AWS boasts a whopping 32% share of cloud services, and it showed: we felt like every client was in the building to showcase how to leverage Amazon's suite of web-based tools to power their businesses. In the main Expo Hall of Javits, premium sponsors Datadog, Intel, Veeam, and VMware commanded the biggest presence. Dispersed among the lecture halls and workshops rooms, two events concerned AWS' web-based XR development tool: Amazon Sumerian.


Artificial Intelligence Inching Closer to Deciphering Long Lost Languages

#artificialintelligence

With new technology available to us, we're inching closer to the end of the days when deciphering ancient languages is a painstaking task filled with frustration and confusion. Nifty machines following complex algorithms are helping researchers around the globe as they take on the often monumental task of understanding ancient texts and lost languages. Big Think reports that linguistic experts estimate there have been approximately 31,000 languages spoken throughout human history. Many of them are now dead and forgotten, but a new AI project may be part of the answer in how to decipher the writing of ancient languages. "While languages change, many of the symbols and how the words and characters are distributed stay relatively constant over time. Because of that, you could attempt to decode a long-lost language if you understood its relationship to a known progenitor language."


Why Amazon is Betting on Virtual and Augmented Reality

#artificialintelligence

In a recent PCMag article, Rob Marvin got hands-on with the Amazon Sumerian 3D development platform for building AR/VR apps and gives an in-depth overview of its features and the company's broader Immersive Technology strategy. According to Marvin, Amazon's decision to enter the AR/VR space with their Sumerian platform came down to a convergence of three factors: the emergence of smartphone-based augmented reality; untapped VR opportunities in the business-to-business (B2B) market; and helping AWS customers solve pain points with things they were already trying to do: "The B2B applications include scenarios like interactive digital signage (think the giant talking hologram ads from Blade Runner: 2049), virtual training, and a host of industrial Internet of Things use cases, such as using sensors to create digital twins and complex simulations.The idea is that you have a high-quality, high-definition, context-aware sensor in the hands of billons of people." One of Sumerian's biggest selling points, Marvin explains, is that despite how powerful the editor is, there's nothing to download or install. During the demo, Sumerian loaded from a browser URL in seconds. Even doing real-time natural language processing (NLP) and rendering elaborate animations didn't slow it down much.
