Google Glass can display subtitles in real time

Google Glass can display subtitles in real time

Scientists have created an application for Google Glass on Glass Captioning , which displays before me that says one caller. Designed for the hearing impaired, it could be used to translate live.

Among the applications for Google Glass, it is dedicated to those whose ears became lazy.  It only works for now only in English and in a situation of two-party.  © Google

Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed an idea of applying for ingenious glasses connected to Google suitable for those with hearing problems: it subtitle conversations simultaneously. This project could not only help the hearing impaired, but also those who are trying to have a conversation in a noisy place or any viewer having trouble understanding the actors mumble in a movie.

The free application, called Captioning on Glass , relies on voice recognition included in Android phones, while eliminating one of the biggest flaws of Google Glass , namely the poor quality of its built-in microphone arms of glasses. The tool, in effect, transforms the smartphone user in sound receiver. The principle has two advantages: better microphone and in that it can be placed closer to the person who is speaking.

A bird enjoying the Moon

A bird enjoying the Moon , Venus and Jupiter playing with a church bell or caught in the net butterflies, sunspots hung by an antenna: it is a poetic universe he shows us around. This scenery has been the subject of a book, Celestial Scenery , published in 2011.

Cielmania, the blog that speaks of heaven is for amateur astronomers ... and all the others who will find great photos of the author.

You will also discover the history of the Notes of John the Baptist, like that of the heavenly way that we say "milk" and that Bourguignon shows above the castle of Clos-Vougeot. Travel, it is discussed as if the photographer marvels at the Astronomical Clock in Prague. The amateur astronomer is not far away, speaking about instruments, parts of the International Space Station (ISS) or "RAP", the astronomical spring meetings in Haute-Loire where diehard share their tricks.

So if this business of "superlune" of August 10, 2014 torments you or if you want to know what can be observed currently in the midst of the rainy Perseids , one address: Cielmania.

Cielmania: the blog of a photographer from the sky

Why our natural satellite was he called "super moon" this morning? Where to find beautiful images of the sky? By the way, what is the Summer Triangle? Discover these answers and admire beautiful heavenly landscapes "Cielmania", the blog of Jean-Baptiste Feldmann.

Venus and Jupiter are approaching each other.  This is the time to catch them ... The blog Cielmania does not give that new heaven and what can be observed.  It also lets us see beautiful images, like this one, which is also the cover of a book published in 2001, heavenly landscapes.  © Jean-Baptiste Feldmann

For many years, Jean-Baptiste Feldmann, love astronomy, celestial commented news for Futura-Sciences, and always at the height of the events, we are now sharing his strokes and heart images on his blog . If you do not know his heavenly landscapes, quickly click on "Cielmania" .

For Jean-Baptiste Feldmann is also a nature photographer and joined his two passions by collecting original pictures where the stars meet the Terrans or landscapes.

The library NASA currently has 22 format files stl

Now she takes the turn of 3D printing. The sources are as varied as the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), the Johnson Space Center , the Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), the Ball Aerospace and Caltech.

The library NASA currently has 22 format files stl . All were created from models in three dimensions that were used for presentations and promotional videos. It is possible, warns Nasa , that some adjustments need settings for it to work properly. So she invites volunteers to share their findings. Too bad it does not (yet) possible to print the footprint of Neil Armstrong on the Moon!

NASA also offers a file to reproduce the asteroid Eros an actual length of 34 km. The file .stl prints the two hemispheres to be linked together to obtain a reproduction of some 5 cm long. © NASA

NASA has just put online a library of a number of files that can print 3D reproductions size reduced by several space probes, satellites and asteroids. Downloading files is free, but however, require a 3D printer.

Fans of space exploration will be able to indulge. Indeed, NASA now puts freely available in its beta , files for 3D printer that can be used to make miniature reproductions plastic models of several spacecraft , to asteroids and even lunar or Martian landscapes. Fans can thus offer a smaller version of the famous Rosetta , Cassini, Voyager, Pioneer, Mars Odyssey , Kepler or the huge Valles Marineris and Gale crater (currently explored by Curiosity).

There are also two expansions (8 cm square) of the lunar surface covering an area of 400 kilometers. Since its inception in 1958, the American space agency has established this type of sharing with the general public in the form of drawings, images and videos.

The equation predicts happiness in 18,000 people

The researchers then found that happiness at a given time depended on the awards received recently. Those received over 10 rounds previously had little effect. But they also found that the expectations of the participants had an impact . For Robb Rutledge, lead author of the study, "we were surprised to discover how expectations were important in determining happiness" . For example, the failure to win anything decreased happiness if the other option was to gain 2 pounds, but increased if the other was to lose the same amount. "It is often said that you will be happier if your expectations are limited. We find that there is a form of truth to it: low expectations increase the likelihood that the result exceeds expectations " .

From these data, the researchers constructed a mathematical equation in which the happiness expressed by the participants is connected to the recently received awards and expectations. This equation had to predict how people declared themselves to be happy. To validate their model, they applied to 18,420 people worldwide with a mobile phone game. In this context, the equation can predict the state of happiness of the participants when they played on their devices, even if they only earned points and not money.

In addition, during the initial laboratory experiment, neural activity was measured in participants through functional MRI that was interested in a brain area specific: the striatum . Indeed, it has a lot of neurons to dopamine , a neurotransmitter involved in the reward system. From the results obtained, dopamine plays a role in determining the happiness felt.

This work may find applications medical: the fact mathematically predict subjective states, like happiness, can help doctors better understand and treat mood disorders.
