Published Imperceptible sensors made from 'electronic spider silk' can be printed directly on human skin
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers have developed a method to make adaptive and eco-friendly sensors that can be directly and imperceptibly printed onto a wide range of biological surfaces, whether that's a finger or a flower petal.
Published AI poised to usher in new level of concierge services to the public
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Concierge services built on artificial intelligence have the potential to improve how hotels and other service businesses interact with customers, a new paper suggests.
Published Finding the beat of collective animal motion
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Virtual Reality experiments have illuminated the rhythmic glue that could keep animals moving in synchrony.
Published Building a better sarcasm detector
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Sarcasm is notoriously tricky to convey through text, and the subtle changes in tone that convey sarcasm often confuse computer algorithms as well, limiting virtual assistants and content analysis tools. So researchers have now developed a multimodal algorithm for improved sarcasm detection that examines multiple aspects of audio recordings for increased accuracy. They used two complementary approaches -- sentiment analysis using text and emotion recognition using audio -- for a more complete picture.
Published Virtual reality becomes more engaging when designers use cinematic tools
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Cinematography techniques can significantly increase user engagement with virtual environments and, in particular, the aesthetic appeal of what users see in virtual reality.
Published VR may pose privacy risks for kids: A new study finds parents aren't as worried as they should be
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source New research finds that, while an increasing number of minors are using virtual reality (VR) apps, not many parents recognize the extent of the security and privacy risks that are specific to VR technologies. The study also found that few parents are taking active steps to address those security and privacy issues, such as using parental controls built into the apps.
Published Biomechanical dataset for badminton performance analysis
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source In the sports industry, player data collection aids in personalized training feedback. Researchers have now gathered a detailed dataset and laid the foundation for delivering coaching assistance and feedback through the same. Utilizing wearable sensors and machine learning, their dataset offers real-time feedback and optimized movement suggestions. With over 7,763 badminton swings analyzed, stroke quality assessment offers valuable insights, making badminton training more accessible and affordable.
Published Unveiling a polarized world -- in a single shot
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers have developed a compact, single-shot polarization imaging system that can provide a complete picture of polarization. By using just two thin metasurfaces, the imaging system could unlock the vast potential of polarization imaging for a range of existing and new applications, including biomedical imaging, augmented and virtual reality systems and smart phones.
Published Virtual reality environment for teens may offer an accessible, affordable way to reduce stress
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Working with teens, researchers designed RESeT: a snowy virtual world with six activities intended to improve mood. In a 3-week study of 44 teens, researchers found that most of the teens used the technology about twice a week without being prompted and reported lower stress levels after using the environment.
Published Researchers develop a new way to instruct dance in Virtual Reality
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Virtual reality dance made easier with crowd wave technique. Open source code can be downloaded for Quest 2 and 3.
Published Computer scientists unveil novel attacks on cybersecurity
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers have found two novel types of attacks that target the conditional branch predictor found in high-end Intel processors, which could be exploited to compromise billions of processors currently in use.
Published Holographic displays offer a glimpse into an immersive future
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Researchers have invented a new optical element that brings us one step closer to mixing the real and virtual worlds in an ordinary pair of eyeglasses using high-definition 3D holographic images.
Published Child pedestrians, self-driving vehicles: What's the safest scenario for crossing the road?
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Crossing roads for children can be a risky calculation, especially when the vehicles are self-driven. In a new study, researchers determined pre-teenage children are safest when self-driving vehicles signaled their intent to yield with a green light when they arrived at the intersection, then stopped.
Published This tiny chip can safeguard user data while enabling efficient computing on a smartphone
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source A new chip can efficiently accelerate machine-learning workloads on edge devices like smartphones while protecting sensitive user data from two common types of attacks -- side-channel attacks and bus-probing attacks.
Published Teaching a computer to type like a human
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source A new typing model simulates the typing process instead of just predicting words.
Published Clear guidelines needed for synthetic data to ensure transparency, accountability and fairness, study says
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Clear guidelines should be established for the generation and processing of synthetic data to ensure transparency, accountability and fairness, a new study says.
Published Star Trek's Holodeck recreated using ChatGPT and video game assets
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source Star Trek's Holodeck is no longer just science fiction. Using AI, engineers have created a tool that can generate 3D environments, prompted by everyday language.
Published Breakthrough promises secure quantum computing at home

Published Waterproof 'e-glove' could help scuba divers communicate
(via sciencedaily.com) Original source When scuba divers need to say 'I'm okay' or 'Shark!' to their dive partners, they use hand signals to communicate visually. But sometimes these movements are difficult to see. Now, researchers have constructed a waterproof 'e-glove' that wirelessly transmits hand gestures made underwater to a computer that translates them into messages. The new technology could someday help divers communicate better with each other and with boat crews on the surface.
