Asus to make its own Microsoft HoloLens augmented reality glasses.

Taiwanese PC and smartphone maker Asus is considering building its own version of Microsoft HoloLens holographic computer, Cnet reports. Asus chairman and head of Microsoft Windows and devices revealed to the news site that the Taiwan-based company is in talks with the Washington-based firm for an Asus Hololens headset, which may cost less to consumers as against the $3000 price tag currently on the developer's version, the prototype.

Microsoft is ready to team up with any PC maker on a version of its Hololens computer but Asus chairman Jonney Shih says he's "still evaluating" what form any potential Asus augmented-reality glasses will take.'' If Asus eventually makes its own version of Microsoft Hololens augmented reality glasses, it would be the first PC maker outside the shores of America to do so.

Microsoft HoloLens, which will ship to developers in 2016, is an augmented reality headset that allows you to interact with 3D objects in the real-world as you would on your computer screen. - See more at: http://www.wearobo.com/2015/10/asus-to-make-its-microsoft-hololens.html#sthash.Lr5uZ6K0.dpuf

Google is using machine learning to teach robots how to grasp random objects

Using your hand to grasp a pen that’s lying on your desk doesn’t exactly feel like a chore, but for robots, that’s still a really hard thing to do. So to teach robots how to better grasp random objects, Google’s research team dedicated 14 robots to the task . The standard way to solve this problem would be for the robot to survey the environment, create a plan for how to grasp the object, then execute on it. In the real world, though, lots of things can change between formulating that plan and executing on it. Google is now using these robots to train a deep convolutional neural network (a technique that’s all the rage in machine learning right now) to help its robots predict the outcome of their grasps based on the camera input and motor commands. It’s basically hand-eye coordination for robots. The team says that it took about 3,000 hours of practice (and 800,000 grasp attempts) before it saw “the beginnings of intelligent reacti...

How to Run Older Applications in Windows 10

You cannot expect all the vendors to upgrade their programs to make them compatible with Windows and neither would you want to purchase all the applications every time a new version of Windows is out. Nonetheless, the fact still remains the same that not all applications are compatible with the latest operating systems and there are times when many applications do not initialize when you upgrade your PC to a newer version of Windows. To make things easy for you, Windows 10 allows you to run the programs in compatibility mode. Running a program in compatibility mode makes the application think that it is installed on an older, compatible version of Windows, thus the software runs without any flaws.

Alternatively, you can just say: “Ok Google, send a Viber message to Josh: let’s do dinner tomorrow night.” Here is an example using WhatsApp: To be able to take advantage of this new feature, you do need to update both the Google app for Android , as well as your individual messaging apps.
