ImmersiveTech Explains – Immersive Technology





Imagine a world where we are free from physical constraints, where we can shape and bend our environment to our will like in a dream. Imagine a world where hardware or software is not the bottle neck to creation, but the only bottle neck is our own imagination and creativity. This is ultimately the vision of ImmersiveTech we exist to promote the development and adoption of immersive technology so that we can expand on our human potential.



Victor Hugo once said "nothing is as powerful as an idea whose time has come." At ImmersiveTech, we believe that the time has come for physical and digital convergence. We believe that with help from our supporters we can create a central, unbiased community to advance the human experience through immersive technology.



The world's first ever Immersive Technology Summit will be held at the Los Angeles Center Studios (LACS) on October 21st, 2010.

Honda – Develops Brain-Machine Interface





Honda, ATR and Shimadzu jointly develop Brain-Computer interface technology enabling control of a robot by human thought alone. Think of all the practical applications! Rather than having to program robots to do what you need them to do you can just think it. Granted ideally we'd like to see robots with AI, but in the meanwhile robots controlled by your mind would be quite helpful. Take a look as Honda demostrates ASIMO reading this man's mind!

ImmersiveTech Explains – Robotics and Artificial Intelligence





Ever find yourself sitting on the couch wondering what it takes to make a fully functioning humanoid robot? With modern science we have the ability to fabricate human-like mechanical body parts, but the real challenge is what does it take to create a human-like mind and intelligence. A humanoid robot that is able to learn in the way that humans learn, speak, and reason. This is where the field of Artificial Intelligence plays a critical role in robotics



What is Artificial Intelligence? The Meddling Geniuses at ImmersiveTech break it down and explain it in plain simple English. Artificial Intelligence, or AI, is the branch of computer science that aims to create intelligent machines and agents that have human-like intelligence, this is not to be confused with human-like behavior. Watch and learn more!
