AR Glasses: The Golden Age of AR Content Is Near
Gravity Jack News
by Mark Buche
2y ago
We’re all familiar with the top eyewear brands — Ray-Ban, Burberry, Oakley, Apple (huh?), Microsoft (wait, what?). That’s right, in the not-so-distant future, we envision a world where consumers are getting their next pair of glasses from Apple’s Genius Bar or delivered to their doorstep by Snapchat. No, it won’t be because their frames are better than the competition, but because of the increased presence of augmented reality technology. When asked about AR, Apple CEO, Tim Cook has said the technology will become as normal as “eating three meals a day.” The catalyst behind making such a bold ..read more

AirTags: Another Potential AR Play From Apple
Gravity Jack News
by Mark Buche
3y ago
Rumored for years, the Apple AirTags finally came to fruition during Apple’s “Spring Loaded” event in April. The button-sized accessory is part of the Find My system on Apple devices and is helping users locate phones, keys, bags, and the TV remote that seems to end up in the depths of the couch that would have Lewis and Clark blushing. And while we at Gravity Jack are guilty of misplacing our fair share of mice (not that kind) and having other accessories floating around the office, we are excited about the AirTags for a completely different reason — augmented reality. Before we get too far a ..read more

WHAT IS WEBAR? A HANDBOOK ON WEB-BASED AUGMENTED REALITY
Gravity Jack News
by Tim Tran
3y ago
As a digital agency that prides itself on creating custom mobile applications, we’ll be the first to tell you that mobile apps aren’t needed for all augmented reality projects. While apps are no doubt at the top of the mountain when it comes to AR, the emergence of WebAR, means they are no longer the end-all-be-all when it comes to deploying certain types of content.  WebAR is short for “web-based augmented reality”, or simply, AR content that is displayed using a smartphone’s web browser (like Chrome or Safari). These unique experiences skip downloads at the App Store and jump right into ..read more

Understanding Your Neural Network – Part 4: Closing Thoughts on Machine Learning
Gravity Jack News
by Tim Tran
3y ago
You made it to the Neural Network series finale! It’s been a fascinating journey, but there’s still work to be done and questions to answer. So saddle up, grab a drink, and let’s jump right in. The Jupyter notebooks mentioned throughout can be found here. Experiment 1-1: Less Filters It’s often the case that clients want their networks deployed on mobile devices and ask to keep the networks as small as possible. So, potentially cutting down on the number of filters could be a huge win. Inspecting experiments/experiment1/ex1-1 will reveal several prepared notebooks. In ex1-1-train.ipynb, the nu ..read more

How Useful is Feature Visualization? Welcome back! This post marks Part 3 in our ongoing series on neural understanding, where we work through a practical example with some representative techniques in order to understand what and how a neural network has learned.  While Part 2 walked through a sample problem, this post contains a collection of results to analyze! Quite a bit of results, in fact. So, maybe take some time out to stretch and do some calisthenics while following along. As always, the Jupyter notebooks may be found here.  What is Feature Visualization? In the old days of ..read more

THE RUNNING EXAMPLE Welcome back! For those just joining us, we encourage you to take a look at our first post in the neural understanding series to make sure you are up to date. In that article, we described our intention to take a neural network through the various techniques of neural understanding to see if they could open up the black box of neural networks. This post will describe the working example that will be used throughout the rest of the series.  Notebooks, code, and results can be found here. DESCRIPTION When looking for free datasets, the first place to check was the venera ..read more

Why Beta Testing Is Key To Your App’s Success
Gravity Jack News
by Tim Tran
3y ago
The visuals are stunning, the UI is seamless, and the app looks ready to ship. But before software can be made widely available, one critical step should happen: beta testing.  Like a dress rehearsal for a Broadway show, beta testing is key to any app’s success. For anyone looking to bring an app to market, beta groups act as a cost-effective stress test that will verify viability, discover pain points, and iron out the app as a whole. THE ROLE OF BETA GROUPS AND WHERE TO START LOOKING Think of beta groups like a team of doctors who will dive into an app’s early release and diagnose any i ..read more

Microsoft’s HoloLens 2 Supports Essential Businesses With Mixed Reality
Gravity Jack News
by Tim Tran
3y ago
The HoloLens 2 is marketed as a mixed reality headset/smartglasses hybrid, designed first and foremost for “front line workers”. By utilizing hand gestures and/or voice commands, users gain access to useful info meant to boost efficiency and streamline the workflow process. Serving as a hands-free tool, the HoloLens 2 combines the real with the virtual and offers users the best of both worlds. As more head mounted devices (HMD) such as HoloLens slowly make their way into our daily lives, the selling point for consumers and developers is going to be the difference in features. To our knowledge ..read more
