Artificial Intelligence and the Museum Experience How AI tracking is revolutionizing the museum experience. Given the increasing prevalence of virtual and augmented ways to experience art, there's a renewed focus on optimizing in-person visits through technology. A recent article, A Deep Learning-Based System for Tracking Museum Visitors: Enhancing User Engagement and Cultural Experience, by Ferrato et al., is notable in this area. It describes the psychological aspects and visitor behavior analysis that shape and enhance museum experiences. The ultimate goal is to offer personalized experiences, manage visitor flows, optimize exhibition layouts, and develop interventions to engage visitors better. Psychology plays a critical role here, particularly in understanding human behavior and emotions, which informs the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to make museum visits more meaningful. Understanding Visitor Behavior Visitors engage with museums in various ways, with experiences in...

30 Mio euros for novel monitoring of the world's oceans using telecommunications cables Potential of SAFAtor: Telecommunication cables can be used as sensors (pink cable) or equipped with sensors (blue cable) both on land and in the sea and the deep sea, thus providing unique data for monitoring climate and natural hazards such as earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions and landslides. (Figure: M. Dziggel, GFZ)previous slidenext slide Summary The worldwide network of telecommunications cables lying on the bottom of the world's oceans offers unique potential for scientific use if the fibre-optic cables themselves are used as or equipped with sensors. Based on this, the GFZ Helmholtz Centre for Geosciences in Potsdam and the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel are now setting up the research infrastructure SAFAtor (SMART Cables And Fiber-optic Sensing Amphibious Demonstrator), that can be used to monitor the world's oceans. It will be included in the portfolio ...

Gartner: How to build a secure enterprise cloud environment There are plenty of frameworks, tools and strategies to help map out a risk-resilient cloud infrastructure. For enterprises, the cloud is no longer just an option; it’s a necessity. With 80% of businesses now viewing the public cloud as vital to their digital objectives, the pressure is on to integrate security from the get-go because without proper security measures, the risk of breaches and cyberattacks looms large. So, how can businesses leverage cloud technology for growth while maintaining robust security? There are a series of strategic steps that security leaders can take to ensure successful cloud deployment with a focus on cloud security architecture. Align cloud security architecture with organizational strategy The first step in achieving a secure cloud deployment is mapping the cloud security architecture to the organization’s overarching cloud strategy. This alignment ensures that security measures are not just a...

Electromagnetic spectrum, military communications focus of AMD’s Versal RF seriesNews Military Embedded Systems AMD image. 61st AOC INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM & CONVENTION, NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. Engineers at AMD in Santa Clara, California, looking to bring digital signal-processing performance as close the antenna as possible, announced the launch of the Versal RF series, which has high compute performance in a single-chip device with integrated direct RF-sampling data converters. The announcement was made at the AOC International Symposium in National Harbor, Maryland, this week. In defense applications, the RF spectrum is becoming more and more complex and more and more congested, says Manuel Uhm, Director Versal Product Management & Marketing, Adaptive & Embedded Computing Group, AMD. “The problem is not new, but the complexity has started to increase exponentially. So what you see now is an environment where many, many signals are vying to get through the noise. The impor...

Thailand earthquake: Signs of life detected under collapsed tower block three days on from tragedy Chadchart Sittipunt the governor of Bangkok, said Thai authorities have successfully detected the vital signs of at least three people who were caught in a collapsed tower block Chadchart Sittipunt revealed that authorities have detected the vital signs of people under earthquake rubble(Image: Courtesy of Facebook user Khon S) Signs of life have been detected beneath the rubble of a quake-hit Bangkok tower block - more than 72 hours after it collapsed and trapped 80 workers inside. The city's Governor, Chadchart Sittipunt, today revealed infrared sensors had identified vital signs of at least three people in two spots of the disaster site. He vowed to continue the rescue mission for any survivors after the 7.7-magnitude earthquake killed at least 1,700 people in neighbouring Myanmar. It was felt in Thailand and reduced the under-construction State Audit Office, in northern Bangkok...

Multi-sensor stethoscope excels at detecting faulty heart valves The device is sensitive and accurate enough that it can be used over clothing Valvular heart disease (VHD) is a potentially fatal condition, yet it's difficult to diagnose with a regular stethoscope. A possibly life-saving new multi-sensor stethoscope is claimed to be much better at the job, with the added benefit that it can be used by just about anyone. VHD occurs when one or more of the heart's four valves don't open or close properly, leading to blood flow issues. According to the American Heart Association, the malady ranks among the highest contributors to global deaths from cardiovascular disease. MORE STORIES Unfortunately, the condition can be quite advanced by the time symptoms become noticeable. Even then, those symptoms are often misdiagnosed as being caused by respiratory ailments – this can happen even when a general practitioner listens to the patient's heart with a conventional single-sens...

MEMS technology takes new generation of gas detectors to the next level Learn more from Teledyne Gas & Flame Detection Teledyne Gas and Flame Detection’s highly advanced OLCT 100-XP-MS range of flammable and toxic gas detectors now features state-of-the-art MEMS (Micro-Electromechanical Systems) sensor technology. This technology offers several key advantages over conventional, catalytic sensors, notably poison immunity and a significantly extended operational lifespan. It also provides the highest level of precision for a host of ubiquitous combustible gases and gas mixtures, including butane, hydrogen, methane and propane. Technicians have traditionally opted for a catalytic sensor calibrated for a pre-specified gas or an infrared sensor enclosed within a flammable gas detector housing. While the conventional gas sensors are highly effective, MEMS technology provides some important advantages. Catalytic sensors need bump tests to check for poisoning and infrared technology is in...

AI, automation, and the future of IoT security: Meeting compliance without sacrificing speed Internet of things, wireless communication network (iStock via Getty Images) The firmware for Internet of Things (IoT) and other embedded devices has often been a bit of a mess, with open-source and third-party code haphazardly grabbed from hundreds of different sources. Many IoT device makers have also been less than diligent about finding firmware vulnerabilities or issuing patches to end users. That's all about to change. Impending regulations such as the European Union's Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and the U.S. Cyber Trust Mark are forcing IoT and embedded device makers to implement the same cybersecurity best practices and DevSecOps secure-development processes already followed by top software makers like Microsoft, Apple and Google. More significantly, all makers of consumer products that use software and are sold in the EU will need to provide up-to-date software bills of materia...
