Google's Android XR powers smart glasses, enabling real-time language translation.

• Toyota's CUE humanoid has set a new Guinness World Record in basketball

• It made a shot from 24.55 meters, highlighting its incredible capabilities.

1. CUE contributes valuable data to robotics research, helping technological innovations.

2. It also serves as a model for developing AI systems across multiple industries.

3. The use of humanoid robots in sports could help enhance training methods.

• CUE's motor control allows precise, powerful shots.

• State-of-the-art balance lets CUE shoot from different angles.

• AI helps CUE analyse, mimic, and optimise shooting.

👉🏻 Ready for robots in sports and daily activities?

• Users can point their phone camera at anything and ask ChatGPT for questions.

• ChatGPT analyses the images and provides quick responses.

1. AI can now understand what someone is doing through live video.

2. And it can interact with this content in real-time.

3. Applications are immense, starting with education as shown below.

• To activate, tap the voice icon, then the video icon and point your camera.

• For screen-sharing, tap the three-dot menu and select “Share Screen.”

• It is available for ChatGPT Plus, Team, or Pro users. But not in EU or Switzerland yet.

Enabling technologies like artificial intelligence, AR/VR, 5G, cloud and big data are the engine of the digital transformation and spending on their development should remain high.

👉🏻 What use-case would you try first?

• Google released its new Android XR platform for headsets and glasses.

• With Samsung smart glasses, it translates foreign languages (written and verbal) in real-time.

1. It’s Google’s 4th attempt in the headset market, after Glass, Cardboard, and Daydream.

2. The platform brings virtual, augmented, mixed, and extended realities together.

3. Experiences include realtime translation, 3D navigation or "infinite desktop".

• The XR platform integrates Gemini AI to enhance the user experience.

• It works with Maps, Photos, YouTube, and can even provide a multi-window Chrome.

• It will be supported on smartphones and tablet apps from the Google Play Store.
