VR, AR, MR, 360, & Holographics

Immersive entertainment is where the future is heading towards. Virtual Reality is already appearing in games. Augmented Reality is already appearing in retail. Investment Banking are already experimenting in Virtual Reality. Aeronauts already use sophisticated virtual simulations. Home entertainment is really the natural way forward to adapt from 3D to virtual reality and augment the reality of immersion. We should be able to virtually feel part of what is happening on our TV screens in a form of mixed reality. Being able to feel the premier league game as if one would while watching it live at the stadium. Walking into a TV screen and virtually feeling the experience of being part of the Game of Thrones or Lord of the Rings. A documentary about an animal hunt in nature which could incorporate the viewing audience. Or, even a documentary into a historical war episode that one could teleport into to feel the entire experience. Perhaps, similar to a deep sleep experience of awakening into a new world dimension or emulation like in Avatar. There are just endless possibilities for advertising in entertainment, when the audience experience is enhanced, with limitless possibilities for personalization, simulation, and immersion. People want to feel part of every thing that is happening around them and that is true entertainment, all from the comfort and enhancement of the home cinema experience, where the lines are blurred between what is real and what isn't. In the end, immersion implies a focus on audience engagement and a higher return of investment in content quality, enrichment, and delivery.

Vs Of Big Data

Volume - amount of data
Velocity - speed of data flowing into a system
Variety - different types of data from multiple sources
Veracity - accuracy of inbound and outbound data

Many tools exist that address the above characteristics of Big Data which can be split into three different purposeful strands:
  • Data Transfer - e.g Kafka, Flume, Scribe, Scoop
  • Data Storage - e.g Hadoop, GlusterFS, Cassandra
  • Data Processing - e.g Storm, Flink, Spark, Samza

Intelligent Religion

Religion in some societies plays an intricate part and is almost subsumed in the traditions and cultures. However, religion through time has also been a source of hatred and intolerance among people and the reason behind in-fighting in communities.  Perhaps, an intelligent set of services that utilize methods of natural language processing, machine learning, and deep learning approaches could help better understand the many religions and pave a sense of harmony towards a peaceful coexistence. One aspect of it could incorporate understanding the various focal text that define a religion using natural language processing and deep learning techniques. At same time, doing a sense of interpretation of text to plain english so people can better understand their belief system as defined by their religious texts. Objectivity between religions would have to be a cornerstone of such intelligence in order to fully appreciate the duality of various faith forms in a sense of equality of interpretation. In a lot of ways such intelligence applied to religion is really about applying artificial intelligence to philosophy and theology for a more varied generalizability. This could even assist in better understanding and shaping society going forward so as humans we can understand the different norms and morals that shape the foundations of ethics. Understanding religions would also hold a single source of truth that could come handy during political conflicts as a means of objective negotiations formed through evidence and logical reasoning. One may be able to form more convincing reasons towards the equality of men and women and even the justification of measuring up to the ten commandments. Furthermore, an intelligent agent that can objectively reason on religious texts and the existence of humankind on earth holds a gold mine of understanding or getting closer to the truth.

Delivery Patterns

  • At-Most-Once : Messages may be lost, least desirable
  • At-Least-Once : Messages may be redelivered - no loss but may include duplicates
  • Exactly-Once : Messages are delivered once and only once - no loss and no duplicates, but difficult to guarantee

In order to manage state, messages may be stored in an embedded key-value store, a distributed file system, or use a higher level of abstraction.
