Meta 2 Headset is Making Augmented a True Reality

Augmented reality (AR) is a direct live view or the indirect view of a physical, real-world environment consisting supplemented elements by input such as sound, video, graphics generated by computer technologies. The Meta 2 Augmented Reality kit allows you the creation of holographic applications, tools, and the elements you experience. It enables you the display of holograms, digitalized content, and comes with a software development kit.


Meta 2 Headset Specs


The Meta 2 Augmented Reality headset is a see-through headset, which comes with a software development kit (SDK) built on top of the most popular 3D engine in the world which is the Unity.
  • The Meta 2 augmented reality specs have a complete view of 90- degree field


 
  • It enables you a display resolution of 2560 x 1440


 
  • It is designed for comfort with the parts of the headset below the eyebrows; it’s completely transparent and unobstructed so that one can easily make eye contact with others.


 
  • Under many circumstances, the Meta 2 can be worn for hours comfortably over eyeglasses.


 
  • It has a 720- pixel front-facing camera


 
  • A sensor array is featured for hand interactions and positional tracking


 
  • This device features a 4 speaker near- ear audio, volume control, a 9- foot cable for video, data, and power(HDMI version 1.4b).


 
  • Other requirements include support for Windows applications, Mac support planned for this year and Meta 2 operating system.


 
  • This tethered device finally requires a modern computer with OS Windows 8 or 10


Meta 2 Headset Software Development Kit (SDK)


The Meta 2 Development Kit enables you the widest field of view, the most intuitive access to digital information, direct hand interaction with holograms.

The SDK includes SLAM, occlusion, collaboration, neural interface design guidelines, example code, apps, documentation, and support.

 

Meta 2 Field of View


The Meta 2 eliminates screen size limitations, enables you a full 90-degree field of view and 2560 x 1440 high-resolution display. It reduces the amount of effort needed to divide your attention between the real and the augmented world, thus allowing for more information to be displayed. It ultimately creates an immersive AR experience.


Direct Hand Interaction


People engage with their environments through hands. The Meta 2 enables you to move your hands to interact with holographic apps. One can also track objects, such as a pen or paint brush, with the Meta 2 as discussed above.


It mirrors the way your brain work


Meta 2 unique interface and design principles allow you to access, manipulate and share digital information easily and naturally. This is called a new zero- learning- curve approach to computer technologies.


Create and collaborate in whole new ways


You can arrange your holographic apps and objects in a new kind of operating system provided by Meta 2. Your workspace can be laid out. Things remain in the position you put them. Interaction with colleagues and friends with the holograms are possible too.


Running favorite apps


The Meta 2 makes the world a desktop background for you, enabling you to run Windows Applications. Mac support is planned this year.


Meta 2 Headset Vs HoloLens Headset


Meta 2 has a clarified vision. It doesn’t want to create a new computing environment likes the ones used by the people nowadays. Thus, they turned to neuroscience for answers. Meta 2 wants their operating system to create a user- friendly environment, that doesn’t require much of learning. For interacting with holograms, you need to treat it like a physical object which actually exists.

It wants to simplify computing and avoid the complexity that the last 30 years of computer science have built by removing abstractions, such as files, windows, etc. It has become possible by making the hand and direct manipulation the primary method of interaction.

Meta 2 chose a notably different path of offering a large, more immersive screen display with high resolution. To get rid of monitors on the workspace is what they aim. Instead of using multiple monitors, they place virtual monitors or even just floating apps all around you. To access emails, you just look at where you put the email apps.

Meta 2 has a wide field of view as compared to what HoloLens has to offer. It has access to a powerful workstation and graphics card if you plug it into a computer. You don’t have to worry about the battery issues. Meta 2 has a series of pros and cons. It includes a number o immersive motion sensors and cameras. When talking about the catch, you’ll have to tether it to a computer with a nine- foot cable.

Meta 2 has focused strongly on applications of practicality, quite ignored immersive gaming altogether. The New Meta 2’s augmented reality headset’s price is comparatively lower than that of mixed reality devices such as the HoloLens, that is, $949 only.

On the other side features like superior tracking, environment understanding, the ability to interact with holograms, speech control, and being tetherless are pros that open up utility cases for HoloLens that are simply not possible with the Meta 2.

HoloLens allow browsing the web, taking the tours of the distant world and playing games. It’s a bit time consuming to understand it’s procedures of usage. Learning only two gestures is what you need to interact with its holographic interface. Those tools give you the freedom to move the way you want to. HoloLens work well; understand their limitations, though being an unfinished product.

The hardware inside a HoloLens has less power than that of a modern Smartphone. The HoloLens is a mixed reality (MR) headset. It requires you to move around your environment. They can’t be plugged into a desktop computer. The HoloLens contains a custom chip designed by them called the holographic processing unit.

It processes a huge quantity of data in actual time to handle the environment analyzing and build spatial map meshes. This provides actual time small corrections to tracings related to the position. Likes most smartphones, it runs smoothly without interruptions and provides a quality image. This device has a limited battery life of about three to four hours. One doesn’t wear it more than that. It has fast- charging features with a common micro- USB cable.

The Microsoft HoloLens are expensive and costs at an average of $3000, three times as compared to Meta 2.


Meta 2 Headset Price and availability


Meta 2 had started taking preorders before Q3 2016. Its amazing device only costs $949 bought along with the expensive $1000 gaming computer you need to plug it into. That computer can be used for other things such as driving you Oculus Rift VR headset. Meta 2 wasn’t shipping until Q3 2016.

Google Calico Lab Project Is Tapping To Human Immortality

Immortality, or being alive forever, is a term that has been in use for long. Tales of a lot of brave immortals are a part of many religions and beliefs of the world. Examples of Immortality can be seen in many ancient legends, religious scriptures, and myths. In Hindu mythology, there are several individuals like God Hanuman, who are immortals.

Even after so many advancements in the field of modern medicine, there has not been a cure for the disease that catches every single human without fail, death. A majority of the population still lives with the fear and anxiety of death. Knowing that one day, one will have to leave everything behind and become non-existent is a depressing thing. The prospect of living forever, or immortality, is that one thing that everyone wants.

What is Google Calico lab


Google as all of you know, has always been a tech company that centered upon innovation. Unlike most companies, a majority of their products are free and have become super useful, making our lives much easier. Google mail and Android would be two good examples.

With the billions of dollars that Google makes as revenue, they have been running several projects in other fields as well. Under their Google X lab, several top secret projects have been going on, and a lot of money are being spent on these projects. Things such as Android Wear, self-driving car, advanced drones are some of the projects going on at the X lab.

Google, under its parent company Alphabet Inc, has also been investing in several projects run by third parties. Calico is one such company.

Immortality Biotech


Calico or the California Life Company is an independent company that focusses primarily on research and development to create medicines and biotech to tackle diseases related to aging. This is probably the first time Google has invested on something that is not a mainstream technology product. On September 18, 2013, Calico came into existence. The company was co-founded by Google and an American businessman Arthur D. Levinson.

When Google restructured all of their companies under the name of a parent company, Alphabet Inc, Calico also became a subsidiary. Google also has another startup in the medical field, Google Verily. Verily is a company that focuses on biotech. They develop devices or technology to collect medical data, sense things and help patients.

Arthur D. Levinson then became the CEO of the new company. Arthur has the experience since he was the CEO of Genentech, a biotech giant and he was also a director of Google for 5 long years. Arthur was and continues to be a chairman of the Apple Inc’s board of directors.

According to Larry Page, co-founder of Google and CEO of Alphabet Inc, Calico is a company focused on "health, well-being, and longevity." Longevity, that’s what the company is mainly focussed on. The idea of a life that never ends is the core thing that the company is researching upon. In order to achieve this, they are starting by finding cures for the aging and age-related diseases.

In the current world, the main diseases that cause death and that has no cure yet are neurodegeneration and cancer. Neurodegeneration refers to the loss of working or structure of the neurons in one’s body. It is a slow disease and ends with the death of the neurons and thus the human. Diseases such as Parkinson"s, Alzheimer"s, and Huntington"s are caused by this. As of now, neurodegeneration is incurable.

So is cancer. Cancer refers to the formation of abnormal cell groups in different parts of one’s body. Cancers are tumors that spread to other parts of the body. There are 100 different variety of cancers and millions of people die every year due to cancer. It is thus an immensely researched field and yet we are unable to find a good cure for this. Hopefully, Google Calico Lab project will be able to help the world.

The Google Calico lab opened up a Research and Development facility along with AbbVie Inc, a modern age pharmaceutical giant, just to find cures for these two diseases. The plan was announced in September 2014 and would involve both companies investing $350 million each as a starter with a provision to add an extra $500 million as the project grows.

They have already announced more than six partnerships for research, which includes two universities, a Non-Profit Organization, and two pharmaceutical companies.

On March 2015, Calico partnered with the UC San Francisco (UCSF), a health sciences university college to use the technology developed by one of the professors of UCSF, Peter Walter, who is a professor of biochemistry and biophysics.

On the same month, Google Calico also went into collaboration with The Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, two of the top-notch institutes of USA. The collaboration will be primarily aimed at studying the genetics of aging.

Google Calico Project


On 2016, they announced that they would be studying mice, worms, and naked mole rats of Africa in order to solve aging. The naked mole rats live up to 32 years whereas the common rats live for just 2 years. They have naturally evolved not to feel pain. Their body naturally works against cancer and tumors do not form on their body. The abilities of the African mole rat have always been a medical wonder. If the researchers could determine how the rats are able to do this, this could lead to the discovery of a successful cure to aging. With the help of technology, their genome could be used to prevent cancer, one of the two disclosed diseases that Calico is set to eradicate.

Recently on March 24, 2017, Google Calico announced a five-year research collaboration with a biotech company called C4 Therapeutics. C4 said in its press release that the primary aim is “Treating diseases of aging, including cancer”. C4 did not go into the details of the deal or the targets of it. C4 has been working on targeted protein degradation. This means the use of advanced protein degrading molecules to effectively remove proteins that cause diseases. Without all the medical gibberish, this essentially means finding a cure for cancer. The project was still in its preclinical stage when Calico stepped in.

Conclusion: What happens if Calico help us to be immortal?


Even though the technology needed for humans to be immortal is still decades or centuries away, it will surely happen one day, maybe just not in our lifetime. But what if scientists actually cure death? What will happen then?

A never ending life has its own demerits. Lack of space on earth and resources will be the biggest of them all. But since this is all supposed to happen in a distant future, maybe we would have solved that problem by then. Moreover, boredom will affect everyone, bored of living, bored of doing the same things again and again.

Ultimately, depression will take over, a decent number of people may even wish to end their life, tired of living. It’s all hypothetical, nobody knows what the condition of humankind will be when this era arrives.

But one thing is sure, this century will bring a lot of changes to the mankind. We may not even live through this century, just saying.
