Interesting; especially since things have been very quite around IARPA and DARPA on their BMI efforts lately.

The Microns project aims to decipher the brain’s algorithms in an effort to revolutionize machine learning.

DARPA’s “Squad X” uses Android tablets, encrypted real-time communication, and Artificial Intelligence to save lives.

We all know that anything that the public can get their hands on, the black market, etc. already has access as well as those hard to get items like a rocket launcher, etc. So, not sure why anyone will be surprised by this article.

New technologies will level the playing field between the major powers and smaller, independent players.

Military-funded research has developed artificial intelligence that can read and respond to human emotion.

Samsung’s dream of creating smart contact lenses capable of capturing images and shooting videos has just drawn closer. However, the patent reveals that Samsung has been working on the concepts and not necessarily the actual product which they trademarked as Gear Blink, which was filed in both South Korea and the U.S.

‘The analysis component of the contact lens can process the raw image data of the camera to determine processed image data indicating that the blind person is approaching intersection with a crosswalk and establish that there is a vehicle approaching the intersection’. It could very well be a smart contact lens. It’s a contact lens that consists of a small display, camera, RF antenna, and sensors to detect eye movement.

SamMobile states that the “lenses can provide a more natural way to provide augmented reality than smart glasses”. While the display projects images directly into the eye of the person wearing the contacts, an external device like a smartphone is needed for processing.

The extinct heavy cattle could graze European plains again, as scientists are trying to ‘resurrect’ them from genes found in modern cattle. Aurochs were recorded by cave men in striking paintings at Lascaux, France, 17,000 years ago. An example of one of the paintings is shown above.

A few months ago; it was announced that Smartphones will be a thing of the past within the next 5 years. Luv it AR & VR with an earpiece for communications.

This is getting freaky…

1st success seen in system designed to help aircraft automatically avoid mid-air collisions.

Flight tests demonstrate optical sense-and-avoid capability that detects and tracks nearby aircraft, setting the stage for future manned and unmanned aircraft to autonomously steer clear of them.

Good at finding diesel submarines. My verdict is out for now.

VIDEO: This drone is seaworthy.
