Apple Unveils Vision Pro, its $3,500 Mixed Reality Headset

By: Munnaza Islam on June 06, 2023 / comment : 0 500, Apple Unveils, its $3, Mixed Reality Headset, Pro

 Since the introduction of the Apple Watch in 2015, the iPhone maker's most significant product launch to date was this one.

CALIFORNIA: Apple on Monday revealed its originally blended reality headset, testing Facebook-proprietor Meta in a market that presently can't seem to entice clients past videogamers and tech nerds.

Since the introduction of the Apple Watch in 2015, the iPhone maker's most significant product launch to date was this one.

The Vision Star, which was for the most part generally welcomed on Monday, will cost a strong $3,499 and be accessible right on time one year from now in the US just, the organization said.

"There are sure items that shift the manner in which we take a gander at innovation and the job it plays in our lives," said Apple Chief Tim Cook as he disclosed the smooth VR gadget that looked like ski goggles.

He concluded by saying, "We believe Apple Vision Pro is a revolutionary product with the performance, immersion, and capability that only Apple can deliver."

The headgear, which Macintosh alluded to as a spatial PC, was presented at the end of an Apple occasion in Cupertino, California in which the organization declared an extensive rundown of item refreshes.

The item has been being developed at Apple for quite a long time, and will zero in on gaming, web based video and conferencing.

The hard sell on technology that has not yet won the hearts of the general public was made by company executives by insisting that the Vision Pro provides an experience that cannot be matched.

According to Insider Intelligence principal analyst Yory Wurmser, the Vision Pro offers mixed reality technology that, in contrast to its rivals, "clearly situates the user in their environment."

He continued, "While Meta Quest and other devices are first and foremost virtual reality devices, Vision Pro keeps the user in the present and emphasizes the mixed reality features — unless they choose otherwise."

A hands-on demonstration demonstrated that Vision Pro allows wearers to twist a watch-like "crown" to go from having interactive imagery augment one's surroundings to fully immersed in a rich 3-D experience that feels like being in a video or on a sports field.

Given the technology that was squeezed into the Vision Pro, Apple went to great lengths to preserve its signature minimalist design, at least to the extent that it could.

The computer is cooled by a fan and has a glass front, an aluminum frame, five sensors, 12 cameras, a display for each eye, and a glass front.

India expects Apple to nearly triple its investment and exports in the coming years. A battery pack with a cord that could be slipped into your pocket would only last two hours.

The demonstration demonstrated that Vision Pro optics are calibrated to each wearer's eyes, allowing them to use them without glasses and providing optical identification to verify user identity.

"Blown away": Tech companies have had a hard time selling virtual reality headsets to a wider audience that doesn't like to wear masks.

The Apple version's internal cameras will project the user's eyes on an external screen in an effort to overcome this resistance.

According to Creative Strategies technology analyst Carolina Milanesi, "As a non-believer in VR, I was actually blown away by how seamless the experience is."

While wearing Vision Master one can see who is close by, and even look at them without flinching and have a discussion.

Disney banded together with Apple for the send off and the Mickey Mouse organization prodded content from Wonder, Star Wars and live games that would be accessible on the gadget and give a vivid encounter.

Apple expressed that north of 100 computer games would be accessible from the day of delivery.

Collision course With Meta, which had a head start on doubling down on virtual worlds, Apple is on a collision course with Meta with this release.

Meta expanded its line of much less expensive Quest virtual reality headgear just a few days prior to the Apple event.

Later this year, a Quest 3 of a new generation will be available for $500.

Despite Meta's position as a market leader in the emerging sector, the experience it has had with the so-called metaverse has been humbling, and many people questioned whether Apple would ultimately jump in.

The Facebook giant has promised to return to the fundamentals of social media less than two years after changing its name to Meta to reflect a metaverse priority.

 As the SpaceX Dragon capsule splashed down in the Gulf of Mexico late Tuesday night, users on social media reported hearing a loud boom that could be heard throughout the Florida Panhandle.

The occupants of the area took to Twitter to get the message out about the abnormal commotion."About 25 minutes ago, we heard the boom here in Pensacola!" A tweet was sent out by a Twitter user in response to a tweet sent out by the company that was live streaming the splashdown, which took place at 11:04 p.m. Eastern Time.

Pensacola-based internet users claimed that when they heard the noise, their dogs began to yell, while others believed a tree branch had fallen on their roof.

WKRG reports that some residents even called 911 to report an explosion.

In a Facebook post, Santa Rosa County Emergency Management clarified, "If you heard a loud sound around 10 p.m. and thought something hit your house, that was actually a sonic boom from SpaceX Dragon re-entering the atmosphere and making a splash down in the Gulf of Mexico near Panama City Beach."

The SpaceX case was planned to make its re-visitation of Earth following a 10-day excursion to the Global Space Station.

Fox News reported that the private aircraft, which was carrying two Saudi astronauts and two more passengers, was parachuted into the Gulf of Mexico 12 hours after docking at the orbiting lab.

The Adage Space Hatchet 2 team included resigned Nasa space explorer Peggy Whitson, Tennessee finance manager John Shoffner, foundational microorganism analyst Rayyanah Barnawi, and military pilot Ali al-Qarner.

Barnawai, who turned into the primary Saudi lady in space, said Monday: " This is only the beginning of a new era for our nation and our region, as with every story.

At Nasa's Kennedy Space Center in Florida on May 21, the Dragon and Ax-2 crews boarded a Falcon 9 rocket for their trip to the space station.

The outing was Saying Space's subsequent confidential trip to the Worldwide Space Station. By the end of the year, the company wants to have more customers.

Iranian Cafes Become A Rare Sight In Karachi

By: Munnaza Islam on May 29, 2023 / comment : 0 A Rare Sight In Karachi, Iranian Cafes

 Have you ever visited Irani cafes in Karachi? In the event that not, then you have missed that memorable culture which made the city — the city of light.

Before the Partition, Karachi was a sensational city as well. Its vibrant multicultural environment, as well as its evening events and gatherings, attracted tourists. Irani cafes, which can be found in a variety of areas throughout Karachi, helped to establish this trend of informal gatherings as commonplace in the port city.

What made it so fascinating? Indeed, Irani bistro culture is altogether different from other bistro scenes in the cosmopolitan city. Trade union leaders, progressive writers, intellectuals, and labourers all called these places home. The uniqueness of these bistros can be noticed today as well. The intersection of the roads is where every cafe is.

There are many ways to interpret the reasoning behind building this, but one thing I've noticed is that anyone who uses public transportation can easily get to it because it's right around the corner. The infrastructure, rules, and formalities allow ordinary people as well as the wealthy to sample the best Iranian cuisine. They are legal advisors, understudies, broken heart darlings, destitute erudite people and furthermore factory proprietors and sets of Karachi who come and find a seat at similar tables and these bistros serve them similarly.

There are just four Iranian bistros left in Karachi — Bistro Triumph close to Uni Court, Khairabad Coffee bar at Shaheen Complex, Bistro Darakhshan and Pehlvi at More Troubled and Bistro Mubarak in Nursery. Geo News attempted to interview owners of all four, but for a variety of reasons, some of them refused to share their stories. One of the reasons is that they are Iranian and are afraid of trouble. Geo News, on the other hand, worked with Khairabad Tea Shop and Cafe Victory.

Bistro Triumph was fabricated a long time back. This restaurant's Chullu Kebab is a house specialty. The co-accomplice Abdul Hameed expressed, "Even following 55 years, we didn't lose our traditions. Chullu kabab is prepared without any South Asian spices and served the same way it was 50 years ago. It's exceptionally difficult to oversee in light of cost expansion since all that we cook is in soya oil."

There is an unfortunate ending, just like in every wonderful story. Cafe culture in Iran also experienced this. Nowadays, these cafes aren't as popular as they were in the 1960s and 1970s. We spoke with a number of people who own these cafes or used to own them before they were sold to locals. Even though Iran has a significant market, none of them provided us with a specific explanation for why Iranians do not invest in the food industry. Except for Abbas Ali, the proprietor of Khairabad Tea Shop, one of Iran's oldest operational cafes.

In 1943, the Khairabad Tea Shop opened. Abbas Ali believes that it is now impossible to run this cafe, despite the fact that it is still able to stand on its own and continue to serve excellent prawn pulao to everyone. Due to its prime location, the owners are asking for hundreds of thousands of rupees in rent. We are demanding a Pagri amount, Pakistan's traditional rent arrangement, which is so low that we are unable to open another cafe.

"This bistro was worked before the Parcel of India and my progenitors have put sweat and blood into it. They treat us like nobody even though we started the modern food culture in Karachi. Despite the fact that we are not Pakistanis, this cafe is an 80-year legacy. Despite the fact that my children were born here, they cannot open bank accounts. Our four ages have passed serving this land and they are tossing us out."

Other people also shared a similar account with us, but they wanted to keep a low profile due to legal issues. To put it plainly, Karachi's legacy is very nearly eliminated and at the speed of this city, we are leaving our night discussions, our foundations, our traditions and social events in these bistros a long way behind.

Pope Francis Meets Martin Scorsese After Recovering From Fever

By: Munnaza Islam on May 29, 2023 / comment : 0 After Recovering From Fever, Meets Martin Scorsese, Pope Francis

 

Pope Francis Saturday tended to a gathering went to by noticeable craftsmen and chiefs including Martin Scorsese, a day after he dropped his customary plan for getting work done because of a fever.

Getting back to his obligations on Saturday, Francis delivered a discourse at the occasion at the Vatican, which was classified "The Worldwide Style of the Catholic Creative mind," the Vatican News detailed.

According to the title, he said about his love of literature: I was able to gain a deeper understanding of not only myself, the world, and my people through the writings of those authors, but also of the human heart, my own faith journey, and my pastoral work, even in my current ministry.

He added that he taught himself literature when he was young and "loved many poets in his life."

The audience of international writers, poets, and other artists at the conference included award-winning film director Martin Scorsese and his family.

In 2016, Scorsese met Pope Francis at a private audience to discuss his film "Silence," which is about Christians who were persecuted in Japan in the 17th century.

Francis was recently struck somewhere near a fever which constrained him to drop his work responsibilities on Friday and ignited recharged worries for his wellbeingThe Vatican's daily appointment schedule, however, demonstrated that Francis was returning to his work on Saturday. The Vatican gave no new update on the 86-year-old pontiff's well-being.

Francis is supposed to celebrate mass for Pentecost in St. Peter's Square on Sunday.

According to the Italian news agency ANSA, the Vatican Secretary of State, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, stated on Thursday that Francis was "tired" following a "very intense day."

The Pope was worn out. He had a very busy day yesterday and saw a lot of people. He wanted to personally greet each person at the Scholas Occurrentes meeting. At one point, one turns out to be less safe," Parolin said.

Francis was seen looking great Thursday evening at a live-streamed occasion from the Vatican for Scholas Occurrentes, a worldwide schooling network that he established, as indicated by CNN's group on the ground

‘Platonic’ Pairs Seth Rogen And Rose Byrne In A Show That’s Easy To Like, And Hard To Love

By: Munnaza Islam on May 28, 2023 / comment : 0 ‘Platonic, In A Show That’s Easy To Like, Pairs Seth Rogen And Rose Byrne

One of those anything-goes streaming series is "Platonic," and the general consensus is that once prominent actors agree to star, they can do anything, or almost nothing in this case. In a show that purports to explore male-female friendships but actually functions more like a lighthearted ode to a stoner aesthetic, Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne thus waste time arguing and sparring.

Sylvia, played by Byrne, and Will, played by Rogen, were once best friends before she told him she couldn't stand the woman he was going to marry. She reaches out to him somewhat impulsively when she learns that they are getting divorced. After a brief period of awkwardness, they immediately resume their relationship in a manner that disturbs their lives.

For Sylvia, a housewife to three kids, that dynamic at first bothers and later stimulates doubts in her significant other (Luke Macfarlane), an effective legal counselor who doesn't actually get envious until individuals allude to Will as his better half's "sweetheart."

Concerning Will, he has work issues with the mates with whom he runs a brew bar and starts carrying on his newly discovered singleness by dating a 25-year-elderly person, provoking him to worry about whether he's turning into some kind of moderately aged buzzword.

There is not much more to "Platonic" other than that, with Rogen and Byrne serving as producers (naturally). The two day-drink, take drugs, and turn to each other for advice have lengthy conversations in the show, despite constantly reassuring everyone that she is married and nothing unsavory is going on.

Although it isn't as consistently funny as something like "Shrinking," another Apple TV+ show that addresses the same kind of midlife crisis-related issues with a greater sense of purpose, the sloppy pacing is entertaining on occasion.

In contrast, "Platonic" doesn't even really go into much detail about male-female relationships and how they are viewed as we get older, or how Sylvia and Will got to the level of intimacy they used to have and were able to quickly rediscover.

As a result, Sylvia's return to the workforce and the show's overall mood are more enjoyable than belly laughs or small moments like the music from "Working Girl." Fundamentally, the crowd is passed on to act as observers while Rogen and Byrne examine everything without exception, such that is refreshingly regular yet additionally ailing in any need to get moving.

With her other show, "Physical," returning for a third and final season in August, Byrne has established herself as a valuable contributor to Apple. Rogen has made some meaningful difference basically as a maker, including Amazon's hit hero parody "The Young men."

However, the minor key in which "Platonic" operates makes it difficult to avoid the impression that it is yet another vain attempt to satiate the streaming altar. The net impact is a show, maybe fittingly, that is sufficiently simple to like, and exceedingly difficult to cherish.

 

French Film Director Attacks Macron During Palme d’Or Acceptance Speech

By: Munnaza Islam on May 28, 2023 / comment : 0 Film Director Attacks Macron During Palme, French Film Director

 During her Palme d'Or acceptance speech at the Cannes Film Festival on Saturday, French film director Justine Triet criticized the "shocking" repression of the pension reform protests by French President Emmanuel Macron.

Triet made reference to the flurry of protests that have engulfed France this year as she entered the stage to accept the award for her film "The Anatomy of a Chute."

"This year this nation has been taken over by a memorable, very strong, consistent dissent on benefits change. This dissent has been denied and quelled in a stunning manner," Triet pushed.

Triet maintained that a power pattern that is "increasingly uninhibited" is emerging in various facets of French society, including the film industry.

Triet went on to say, "The neoliberal government's defense of the commodification of culture is breaking the French cultural exception." She was introduced the honor by the famous entertainer Jane Fonda in front of an audience.

Triet went on to say, "We have to make room for them, room I was given 15 years ago in a slightly less hostile world where it was still possible to make mistakes and start over."

After New Zealand's Jane Campion and France's Julia Ducournau, Triet is only the third woman to win the Palme d'Or, one of the most prestigious awards in the film industry.

Her work - a show about a lady associated with her better half's homicide - beat off contests including Wes Anderson's "Space Rock City."

For his film "Zone of Interest," about a family who lives next to Auschwitz, British director Jonathan Glazer received the Grand Prix, the second-highest award after the Palme d'Or.

Lunar Spacecraft Likely Fell 3 Miles Before Crashing Into Moon In Historic Landing Attempt

By: Munnaza Islam on May 27, 2023 / comment : 0 Fell 3 Miles Before Crashing Into Moon, Historic Landing Attempt, Lunar Spacecraft

 The Japanese company Ispace revealed on Friday that a historic attempt to make a soft landing on the moon resulted in a lunar lander likely plummeting three miles before collapsing into the lunar surface.

The slip-up can presumably be followed by a product issue and a mistaken estimation of the rocket's elevation as it endeavoured to find its balance on the moon, the organization said.

According to a Friday news release from Ispace, the spacecraft's builder, "Based on the review of the flight data, it was observed that, as the lander was navigating to the planned landing site, the altitude measured by the onboard sensors rose sharply when it passed over a large cliff approximately 3 km (1.9 miles) in elevation on the lunar surface, which was determined to be the rim of a crater."

Landing attempt

On December 11, the lander took off from Cape Canaveral, Florida, on top of a SpaceX rocket. The spacecraft travelled to the moon, which is approximately 239,000 miles (384,600 kilometres) from Earth, over the course of three months. Hakuto-R then entered a circle around its objective, utilizing a low-energy direction. The lander travelled approximately 870,000 miles (1.4 million kilometres) through space in total.
