This powerful AI-based platform applies intelligence to raw human performance data, providing instant actionable insights through easy-to-assess outcomes and form factors. The use of AI and Computer Vision has limitless applications and is currently automating nearly every industry sector. With the release of the 3motion's 3DNeuroNET Engine TM, companies in the human performance space can integrate AI automation through API's and an SDK. This flexibility allows for quick availability, thus elevating products and solutions without the costs and complexity associated with adapting computer vision, machine learning, and artificial intelligence into their applications. The use cases for 3motionAI insights are vast and solutions are being deployed across the spectrum.

The delivery drivers of the future may not leave a package at your door. Instead, they'll be sitting several miles or even time zones away in a control room overseeing a fleet of delivery robots or drones. A look at how innovation and technology are transforming the way we live, work and play. Companies are plowing billions of dollars into autonomous technologies they hope will improve efficiency and solve worker shortages. But executives in these industries say true autonomy is many years away–and may never come.

There's a lot of buzz about flying taxis, even though none are buzzing overhead. Investors are pouring capital into start-ups racing to develop new electric aircraft that take off and land vertically like a helicopter but fly horizontally like an airplane. Major airlines are investing in some of these start-ups, betting that they will one day zip passengers between airports and city centers much faster than cars or public transit. A look at how innovation and technology are transforming the way we live, work and play. One major issue is they will need enough places for these vehicles to take off and land.

You approach the car with arms full of groceries and call out, "Open the tailgate!" On the road, as snow builds, the vehicle asks if you'd like to engage four-wheel drive, which you do by saying "yes." Wondering what that digital warning symbol is on your dashboard? The car can explain as you drive. The technology behind these scenarios is expected to make its way into cars in the next year or two, as auto makers expand voice capabilities and allow users to control more of the car through spoken word.

Did you miss a session from MetaBeat 2022? Head over to the on-demand library for all of our featured sessions here. Text-to-image AI systems such as DALL-E 2, Imagen and Midjourney are growing in popularity and capability right now, offering creators a revolutionary new way to produce content. Generating images from text prompts is a radical new approach to art-making and creative expression. But it also gives us the first glimpse of a fundamental shift in how we can better communicate and collaborate with our machines.

It was during an entrepreneurship class at the University of British Columbia 15 years ago that Dan Eisenhardt came up with the idea to make performance-tracking swim goggles similar to what runners and cyclists were starting to use on their wrists. Buildings have a big environmental problem. More than one-third of all greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions come from both the construction of new buildings and the heating and cooling of existing ones, according to the World Building Council. It's why the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has identified reducing building emissions as critical to meeting the goals of the 2016 Paris climate agreement. Our brains have long relied on machines to help with mathematics – calculators being the most obvious example.

The Future of Everything covers the innovation and technology transforming the way we live, work and play, with monthly issues on health, money, cities and more. This month is Artificial Intelligence, online starting July 2 and in the paper on July 9. The next time you buy a car and fret about whether or not to splurge on that snazzy new feature, fear not: Chances are you'll be able to download it later. In the past, the ordeal of deciding which features you could afford and which you could live without may have been painful and time-consuming, mainly because you would be stuck with whatever suite of options you chose until the time came to buy another car. Those days are quickly fading as cars morph from vehicles to get around town to artificial intelligence-enabled, smartphone-like connected devices packed with software for work and play.

Advancements in robotics are continually taking place in the fields of space exploration, health care, public safety, entertainment, defense, and more. These machines--some fully autonomous, some requiring human input--extend our grasp, enhance our capabilities, and travel as our surrogates to places too dangerous or difficult for us to go. Gathered here are recent images of robotic technology, including a machine built to draw portraits, battle robots, a dance performance, an autonomous mobile vending machine, an art installation, an agri-bot, a robotic priest, a Mars rover, a grocery-store bot, and much more.

The mass distribution of internet-connected devices together with advances in cloud computing and software algorithms mean AI is ready to hit the mainstream like never before in 2018.
