ARVISis in the Augmented Reality Industry

ARVIS

(This is part 1. Read part 2 on creating silent augmented reality here. ) Data visualization on mobile devices seemed promising, since the time of the first iPhone: very capable portable computers! Innovative touch interaction! Highly localized content! Hundreds of visualizations for mobile devices exist, both as apps and part of daily news content. But there’s one major problem that mobile visualizations couldn’t shake yet: There’s just never enough space. Mobile displays are necessarily small to be portable, and then there’s also fingers in the way. Usually with data visualization, more screen space means better analysis: Data can be shown at a higher resolution, uncovering smaller relationships and parts of the data. It also becomes possible to show multiple charts side-by-side and having coordinated views, quickly flicking to and fro from one lens on the data to the other. It’s the difference between having your chart on a sticky note or across two side-by-side posters. I think that Augmented Reality (AR) could solve this problem. Snapchat Lenses AR has mainly been a research direction for the last thirty-odd years, but is now slowly entering the tech mainstream. AR overlays reality with virtual information, which appears to be part of the environment (depending on your company affiliation, the principle could also be called Mixed Reality). Think: with face tracking, Microsoft’s on your couch table or Apple’s recent . Snapchat Lenses HoloLens letting you play Minecraft ARKit When AR was initially proposed, headsets were usually bulky with low resolutions and low refresh rates. Hickups between head movement and on-screen content made it hard to keep up the illusion of actual virtual elements in your physical world, maybe even leading to cyber sickness. Smartphone production and improvements in leading to lower prices for better components have both revolutionized Virtual Reality (see Oculus) and also Augmented Reality — since they’re both building on similar technologies (small, high-resolution portable displays, head tracking, etc). technology So while our current AR is mostly based on the peephole metaphor (you’re looking through your phone to see face filters or Pokémon), AR - the one we’re interested in for this article - should work with a headset only — hopefully very non-intrusive glasses — leaving your hands free to interact with (augmented) reality. future So how could this future AR solve the lack of screen space for mobile visualizations? By augmenting your reality, AR puts screens everywhere and nowhere at the same time. Screens become fully virtual — with all advantages. Lack of screen space no longer exists, since these virtual screens can potentially fill your whole field-of-view (and beyond). Plus, just like other mobile devices, AR devices know where you are in the world (thanks to geolocation) but even more: where and what your are currently looking at! Combine that with automated object recognition and you have all kinds of fascinating applications for datavis opening up. To be more specific, I can see three promising directions for these future Augmented Reality visualizations: Situated personal visualizations One of the promises of mobile visualizations has always been creating a personalized experience of data. Various apps make use of your location to e.g. center a map on your current position (Google Maps), show restaurants around you (Yelp) or keep track of your running routes (Runkeeper). AR visualization has the potential to become even more personal: knowing about your preferences and goals, it can display the right data at the right time. But what’s even more interesting is that everything can be in the right place: situated Photo by ( ), augmented by the author Osman Rana Unsplash AR Visualizations become part of your environment, augmenting real-world objects (and ) with relevant information, placed at just the right positions. Visualizations are no longer images displayed in little glowing boxes, but augmented textures to the world. people Imagine trying to make your way across Boston in a snow storm. Your app knows exactly where you want to go and can draw from relevant information from the internet. It also knows that you’re at a bus right now and helps you in making decisions: should I get on the bus or take an Uber? Do I have to hurry? Where do I have to transfer? How long will it take? And will this snow ever end? looking All this information is right where you need it and completely private — no one else can see what you see. It’s the ultimate expression of personal visualization. I like to see this development as a form of empowerment, if we get it right (if not: see the of or various dystopian SciFi). works Keiichi Matsuda Similarly, AR vis can show data that’s relevant to you but maybe not to everybody. Photo by , augmented by the author Flako You might be wandering along the aisles of your supermarket, being bombarded by messages of abundance. Package design in recent years hasn’t necessarily developed towards making nutritional information easier accessible. I value the hours I spend staring at small print labels, results of months of heated discussions between industry and administration. While there are freely available, typing product names into a search box, selecting the right one, checking the info and repeating it for every sparkly box on the shelf sounds … unappealing. databases for nutritional information What if the machine could help you with that, take your own preferences when it comes to nutrition (and dietary restrictions to boot) and display a simple heat map, pointing you at just the right products? Once this filtering is done you can still go through the final candidates and make your own, much more informed, decision. And everyone gets their own custom heatmap, since there’s more than enough space for that in virtuality. What all these projects have in common, is that they’re mainly interfaces for data access. The info is usually somewhere out there on the internet but only accessible via text search or obscure API calls. The beauty of AR with its camera-based object recognition is that the whole world becomes the interface to this data: just look at something to receive more information. Arguably, the same way we did information access since the dawn of time. 3D visualizations You heard me right, I’m also crossing that line here: I think that 3D visualizations could potentially be much more useful and even become mainstream with Augmented Reality. 3D visualizations are shunned in the datavis community, fueled by scores of bad 3D Excel charts and . But if you look at the perceptual science behind them, they might actually not be that terrible (see ). Sure, they suffer from occlusion and perspective distortions, but maybe the additional spatial dimension might make up for that. Especially when we combine them with the most important feature of AR: situatedness in the real world. blatant marketing deception Robert Kosara’s great discussion on his blog Imagine having your awful awful 3D bar chart situated on your coffee table, right in front of you. There’s occlusion (front bars occlude back bars) and distortion (back bars look relative smaller). A 3D visualization of me dragging boxes in SketchUp But in AR, the main problem of 3D vis - the virtuality of it all - is less pronounced. The abstract bars become parts of your environment — it’s clear that the bars in the back look smaller than they actually are (compare them to the physical book next to them). Similarly, occlusion is easily solved by moving around the table, just as you would in the real world. Additional stereo cues (hard to show in a 2D photo) make the virtual bars seem more real than they are. This follows the ideas of , a theory that postulates that our cognition is much more closely coupled to our bodily existence than might be apparent. With AR, you still have your own body available to you to explore data as part of your environment. This is in contrast to Virtual Reality, where you’re completely isolated from both your environment and your body — which can be highly disorienting. Embodied Cognition Sporadic research here and there points at AR 3D vis being a promising direction ( , and there’s a workshop series on ), but I figure that the proliferation of AR toolkits will lead to a lot more results in the near future. Ware and Mitchell created a highly efficient 3D node chart in 2005 Immersive Analytics And yes, there will be the trend of cramming the first AR apps to the brim with flashy 3D stuff. Just like the first new 3D movies insisted on always throwing virtual objects at the audience. But that will subside eventually and make 3D a viable approach in the data visualizer’s toolkit. Floating screens everywhere Finally, AR solves the Mobile Vis dilemma of never enough space by simply letting you create as many arbitrarily-sized and -shaped displays as you need. Free-floating around you, still 2D, but as big as you need them. Just some light network analysis for the holidays. Photo by , augmented by the author. Aidan Meyer Since full AR devices have their physical screens right on your nose, they can create an infinite number of arbitrarily-sized virtual screens, situated in your environment. Head tracking lets you switch between them just as you would with physical screens: simply by turning your head. These virtual screens are interesting when it comes to resolution — since they’re just simulations their resolution can be as finely grained as you need them to be. The physical resolution of the AR headset always stays the same, but when there’s only part of a virtual screen visible (since you’re standing close to one), the full physical resolution is mapped to this part of the virtual screen. This works well, since our eyes are not capable of seeing everything infinitely sharp. We usually move around our environment, coming closer for in-depth inspection. Same with virtual screens — while they might be relatively low-res from afar, you can move as close as you like to see infinitely fine details. There is some ideas in this direction — Isenberg et al. describe “ ” that show different types of visualizations at different viewing distances. Similarly, the static encode multiple layers of values through symbols and brightness, showing different aspects for different viewing distances. And, of course, highly detailed paper-based visualizations inherently allow accessing the data at overview- or detail levels. Hybrid-Image Visualizations Fat Fonts These virtual 2D screens are also a great transitional technology, until all legacy applications have been mapped to an AR-context (if that ever happens). You can think of them as virtual monitors, same as your regular physical ones, just instantaneous, free and 100% eco-friendly. And another advantage, especially when it comes to visualizing sensitive data — be it personal or business — in a public setting: they’re completely invisible to everyone else. The problem of “ ” does not exist in AR, so no one can see what’s on your virtual screen, even though it might fill your whole field-of-view¹. shoulder surfing Shut up and take my money So, how much longer until we can get to work on AR visualizations? The release of tools like ARKit will make powerful AR apps much more common in the next years. Another nice side-effect for Apple is that once display technology becomes mature (and especially thin) enough that they can release their own set of AR glasses (which ), they already have an App Store full of AR-compatible apps. their patents point at From an Apple patent on AR tech (source: ) The Verge Microsoft’s is already available, not very portable and dorky, but almost magical when you put it on. Google has and , which might make a powerful combination for Augmented Reality. We’ll see which of the tech giants will be the first to bring AR to the mainstream. HoloLens Daydream Tango But in any case: smartphones are a transitional technology — we’re actually working towards a world without screens, where everything is a screen. And in this world, all the screen space you could ever want for your data visualizations is instantly available. (This is part 1.

The Value of Diversity and Inclusivity in the Arts Since time immemorial, the arts have been an effective tool for encouraging diversity, campaigning for reform and fostering inclusive societies, for example, the Egyptian civilization, like building the pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx! Ancient Greek society building beautiful pottery, and sculpture! Artistic variety is essential for creative originality and creativity. Further, the and the highlighted the value of the marginalized people expressing their experiences and viewpoints in the form of art to empower them and make them be heard. feminist art movement in 1970s Harlem Renaissance When the art experience is shared with different audiences, it improves and becomes more representative of the diverse aspects of society. In terms of the labor force, having a diverse workforce for programming and community participation jobs makes art more relevant and approachable. An artistic society leads to more innovation and creativity all around, which leads to new discoveries and inventions….. The era of the renaissance was so critical in Europe’s history because the artistic tendencies of the human were awarded, which led to better outcomes for the medieval society. Even though it may appear tough, numerous organizations have successfully navigated the hurdles of in the arts. PepsiCo and , for example, have profited from a diverse workforce by allowing them to innovate and give excellent customer service to a wider spectrum of clients. Initiatives such as East-West Players' 51% Preparedness Plan for the American Theatre are excellent examples of how enterprises in the arts and culture sector may thrive by embracing diversity at all levels, including board members, artists, and audiences. Further, cultural instructions such as the and the theater demonstrated the importance of diversity and inclusivity but promoted empathy and diversity through sharing stories from various backgrounds, thereby bringing and democratizing art for everyone to enjoy and share. establishing diversity AT&T Sundance Film Festival Alvin Ailey American Dance The Palm Collective's Visionary Leap The Palm Collective is spearheading a new generation of Web3 and art in New York City. The Obscura Community is a groundbreaking platform created by this forward-thinking artist collective. Its goal is to empower artists in the rapidly expanding Web3 landscape.

Call x Digital Art: Egalitarian Utopia is accepting submissions in all formats ofall digital media, including images, videos, music, 3D, and artificial intelligence (AI) works though submissions using AI must be disclosed. Celebrating Womxn's Month with a Vision of Utopia March marks the arrival of spring as well as the commemoration of women's accomplishments across history and cultural contexts. Taking advantage of this historic time, The Palm Collective presents "Call x Digital Art: Egalitarian Utopia". It is a call for designers and artists of all gender identities to present their utopian worlds that are based on egalitarian values. This project advances the discussion on diversity and inclusiveness into the field of digital art in addition to honoring Women's History Month. With the transformation and shift to the digital age, artists now have unprecedented means of expressing their creativity at scale. The Palm Collective's most recent initiative, which provides artists with enticing incentives and a unique space to display their work, serves as more evidence of this move towards building an artistic society which fosters creativity and innovation at scale, for the people and by the people. Final Thoughts An important turning point in the history of the relationship between art, technology, and social reform has been reached with the introduction of the showcase project by The Palm Collective and the Obscura Community, as it brings together blockchain technology, NFTs, artistic creations and creative mindfulness together to create value for the society just like in the days of Renaissance. This innovative initiative is a celebration of the strength of the human imagination and the impact that artists have on the future. Through the celebration of Womxn's Month, The Palm Collective not only pays tribute to the accomplishments of women throughout history, but also lays the groundwork for a more equitable and inclusive creative community. The Palm Collective's effort is not just an art competition; it is a desperate cry to artists everywhere to imagine, make, and inspire a better future. It's evident from gazing out over this new terrain that art, in its most imaginative manifestations, possesses the keys to unlocking a more inclusive and harmonious world.

Vincent van Gogh, one of the most celebrated artists in history, is not only known for his mesmerizing and emotionally charged paintings but also for the tumultuous state of his mental health. This article delves into the intricate connection between van Gogh's artistic brilliance and the complexities of his mental well-being, exploring the profound impact of mental health on his life and work. The Artistic Genius: Vincent van Gogh's artistic genius is evident in his vibrant and emotive paintings that have left an indelible mark on the world of art. His distinctive use of color and expressive brushstrokes, exemplified in masterpieces like "Starry Night" and "Sunflowers," continues to captivate audiences worldwide. Van Gogh's ability to convey raw emotion and deep introspection through his art is a testament to his profound connection with the human experience. The Unraveling Mind: Behind the canvas, however, lies a tumultuous story of mental turmoil. Van Gogh's life was marred by periods of intense emotional instability, leading to strained relationships and isolation. He struggled with episodes of severe anxiety, depression, and psychosis, which significantly impacted his ability to navigate the challenges of daily life. Diagnoses and Mental Health: While a definitive diagnosis is challenging due to the historical context, contemporary experts speculate that van Gogh may have experienced various mental health conditions. Bipolar disorder, characterized by alternating periods of mania and depression, is a commonly suggested diagnosis. Van Gogh's frenetic periods of creative energy followed by deep depressive episodes align with the characteristic mood swings of bipolar disorder. Another possible diagnosis is borderline personality disorder, as evidenced by his intense interpersonal relationships, impulsivity, and emotional instability. Van Gogh's struggles with self-harm and suicidal thoughts further underscore the profound impact of mental health on his life. Art as a Coping Mechanism: Van Gogh's art is not only a reflection of his internal struggles but also a coping mechanism. Painting served as a therapeutic outlet, allowing him to channel his emotions onto the canvas. The act of creation provided a temporary respite from the torment of his mind, offering a glimpse into the intricate relationship between artistic expression and mental health. Legacy and Awareness: Vincent van Gogh's legacy extends beyond his artistic contributions; it serves as a poignant reminder of the intersection between creativity and mental health. His story prompts reflection on the challenges faced by individuals grappling with mental health issues, both in the past and present. As society continues to destigmatize mental health discussions, van Gogh's experiences offer a unique perspective on the complex interplay between brilliance and vulnerability. Vincent van Gogh's tumultuous journey through life, marked by artistic brilliance and mental health struggles, remains a compelling narrative that transcends time. By exploring the intricacies of his mental well-being, we gain a deeper understanding of the complex relationship between creativity and the human psyche. Van Gogh's enduring legacy prompts us to reflect on the importance of mental health awareness and compassion in both the art world and society at large.

Despite EXPO GO being a good development platform, as it allows you to create applications for Android, iOS, and the web with the same codebase, it also has some limitations, such as performing social login through Google. Until very recently, adding social login to applications developed with EXPO GO was quite straightforward. However, Google's security updates now require you to add custom native code to incorporate this into your application. package Now, it requires you to build the Android version of your EXPO GO application, and within this build, make some native adaptations for this package to work.

This command is also useful as it provides information about the Kotlin versions and some additional details. As mentioned, the Gradle version used to build your project is the one you specify in the file by adding the correct classpath in the file. In my case, I was using: gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties android/build.gradle distributionUrl=https\\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-8.0.1-all.zip With that said, to , the simplest way is to use , a tool for versions used by the system. organize versions more efficiently SDKMAN managing installed JDK In my case, the ideal JDK version was 17.0.9, with Gradle 8.0.1, and Kotlin 1.8.10. To achieve this, I went through the process of removing all JDK versions from my machine. Using SDKMAN, I installed the desired version and set it as the active version, all through the terminal. After that, I returned to the application to verify that the file contained and ensured that was set to 1.8.10. android/build.gradle distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-8.0.1-all.zip buildscript.ext.kotlinVersion Additionally, I checked that was present in . classpath('org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.8.10') buildscript.dependencies With this, I overcame the issue with the error " ."
