Oh My God...inZOI...

"Recommended System Requirements for inZOI (Life simulator from Krafton Games, South Korea)

For those wanting to experience inZOI in all its glory with high frame rates and the most detailed visuals, aim for the following recommended specifications:

CPU: A more powerful processor like the AMD Ryzen 5 3600X or the Intel Core i5-10600K will deliver a smoother performance even in the most demanding scenarios.

RAM: Doubling the minimum requirement, 32 GB of RAM will ensure that your game runs seamlessly and enables extensive multitasking.

Video Card: Upgrading to an AMD Radeon RX 6800 or NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 video card will allow you to enjoy inZOI at higher resolutions and with better graphical fidelity.

Dedicated Video RAM: A hefty 10240 MB will give you the bandwidth needed for ultra-quality textures and prevent any graphical stuttering.

Pixel Shader and Vertex Shader: Remaining at version 5.0, but coupled with more robust hardware, you’ll be able to maximize the game’s visual settings.

OS: Windows 10/11 with the latest updates is again recommended for the best compatibility.

Free Disk Space: A consistent 50 GB of free space is recommended for game files, mods, and updates.

-quoted from https://inzoiresource.com/blogs/22/Minimum-and-Recommended-System-Requirements-for-inZOI

Yeah...that's my wallet finding out I'm going to have to spend at least $4,000.00 to run inZOI decently on my computer. The thing is that you can no longer play these newest games on "integrated graphics chips". You have to get a dedicated card. My wife wants to play Dragon Age 4 (The Veilguard) which is coming out on October 31, 2024. And those games are just as intense on hardware as it is with inZOI.

Minimum and RECOMMENDED requirements for Dragon Age 4 "The Veilguard"

Me, personally... I want to play Cities Skylines 2 and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 Recommended requirements for those two games. Cities Skylines 2

As for MSFS 2024 (due to come out in 2024?)

It's over and above what is pictured in MSFS2020. Chillblast said that the "recommended specs" for FS2024 is the following:

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 PC Recommended Requirements

OS: Windows 10

Processor: Intel i5-8400 | AMD Ryzen 5 1500X

Memory: 16 GB RAM

Graphics: NVIDIA GTX 970 | AMD Radeon RX 590

Storage: 150 GB available space

I'm calling HORSESHIT on that right now. I'm saying it's more in the realm of what inZOI and Dragon Age the Veilguard is putting out. You don't get that kind of gaming experience with the specs Chillblast espouses. Especially on the processor and graphics end of things. After all, on the FS forum board, the recommended specs being tossed about just for FS2020 is the following:

Intel i7-12700K CPU

Z690 motherboard

32GB DDR4 3600mhz RAM (upgrades for this on the site are very cheap, but like you said I’ve seen a couple instances where this RAM outperforms most others)

1TB SSD

Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti

Liquid cooled, nice case, 850 watt power supply, etc

Frankly as far as I'm concerned, I'm tempted to go all out and perhaps go so far as investing in:

i9-13900K CPU

64GB RAM DDR4

4TB SSD

NVidia RTX 4090

Z790 GAMING X AX

at least a 1000watt power supply so that I can run peripherals like scanners and other photographic requirements...on top of just my gaming shit.

...at minimum.

I'm sure there will be detractors going, "You don't need that kind of hardware to play Sims 3...or the current games"...well, the main thing in building a system is that you have to shell out for future proofing (as much as technology development allows at any given time) so that you don't have to spend as much money upgrading your computer system on an yearly basis as opposed to once every three to five years and that Sims 3 is not the only game that I play. And the new releases coming out are that graphics-intensive...

I play SWTOR currently and I'm finding that the game stutters especially when there is a lot of people on a server. I want to minimize that so I'm thinking the more RAM I have and the better the video card, I'll get a little less lag out of it and that will help when I'm taking on Imp or Pub forces whichever side I'm playing against at the time. That and maybe improved graphics to the point where it looks semi-realistic. I'm also planning to get Dragon Age 1-3 and then Dragon Age 4 as well. Plus there are a few other graphics intensive games such as Digital Combat Simulator World (DCS: World) as well that are attracting my attention. I may even get into Call of Duty (depending on the feasibility of the user controls.

Mass Effect drives me absolutely friggin' nuts when it comes to controlling my character Shepard - she's a "femShep". I have to key-bind my movement keys to keys that I'm familiar with in order to keep from going bug-frickin' mental. That also messes with the shoot key too. I'll get there someday. In the words of the ever-immortal Maverick Mitchell:

So in a nutshell, these latest games if not forcing people to upgrade to a better class of gaming PC, will find that a lot of people with restrictive budgets may just drop out of the PC market and try to find it on console (if they play console games) no matter how restrictive the console games are in comparison to the PC versions as opposed to spending $4000 on a new gaming system. A standard PS5 is $499.95 CDN as opposed to spending 10X that much trying to set up a PC to be able to play these newer games. Add a couple hundred dollars buying a hard-drive for these consoles will maybe bring that amount to around $600.00 still much cheaper than buying a whole new PC. Dragon Age the Veilguard will only be released for PS5 and PC - No plans in the works for XBOX Series X as far as I know. And for now, inZOI is PC release only (with an intent to release to console later on down the road - though who knows when that will be) Why though am I looking at a new PC on a restrictive budget? Well, it's because I want to play the games in their full graphics and be unrestricted and potentially moddable states. Does it mean I'm going to have to save a lot of money while waiting on a new PC? Yes. Do I have the patience to wait? Yes...I'm in my fifties, I've waited this long...might as well.

Blog 9 – Taking Virtual Reality to the Next Level 

The creative potential of virtual reality has always been the medium's standout feature, offering developers near infinite possibilities to experiment. In this blog, I will explore potential ideas and mechanics from existing video games that can be utilized in virtual reality, enhancing both immersion and entertainment. Additionally, I will also present a theoretical concept that could, in my view, significantly improve the virtual experience for everyone. 

Exploring beyond the confines of our reality has been the goal of humanity since the beginning. Writers fictionalized universes beyond their own in their books, painters brought life to those words through art and finally, today, developers are creating those realities for others to transverse through Virtual Reality (VR). The scope of ambition has only magnified over time, especially with the rise of VR and XR technology and its implementation in the entertainment industry. As Lanier (2017) puts it, “By integrating established game mechanics into VR environments, developers can create experiences that are both familiar and transformative, bridging the gap between traditional gaming and full immersion.” Today, the entertainment industry, including 3D cinemas and video games, is boldly experimenting in its quest to reach a level of immersion that borders on reality itself.  

As Sherman and Craig (2019) observe, the evolution of VR brings with it the challenge of moving beyond novelty to create meaningful interactions that redefine our engagement with digital content. This is especially true for video games, where visual immersion and physical interaction with the virtual world provides an unprecedented level of immersion. Thus, developing VR should, naturally, be the next step in the evolution of entertainment, but one that still requires significant innovation before it reaches its true potential. For video games, this involves experimenting with new mechanics for both interaction and storytelling along with other sensory advancements that could enhance the immersive experience. 

One area offering insights into deeper immersion pertains to the rise of simulation-based games such as Microsoft’s “Flight Simulator” (2020) and Slightly Mad Studios' “Project Cars 2” (2017). These games replicate real-life activities, capturing the essence of their respective genres through meticulous attention to detail. Not only are these games immensely popular, but remarkably, most achieved this level of immersion without the use of VR technology. Instead, these games expertly capture the essence of flying, driving and farming etc. by simulating every aspect of the activities - including the monotonous and seemingly mundane tasks - in order to fully recreate the experience. These games are primarily developed with the intention of allowing users to experience every facet of the activity within the comfort of their homes.     Learning from these simulation type games, it’s clear that players are drawn to experiences that allow them to engage in new activities, even if they include repetitive or tedious tasks like checking altitude gauges in Flight Simulator or operating machinery in Farming Simulator. VR programs could capitalize on this allure, developing content that faithfully captures such experiences holistically. Furthermore, new VR gear including haptic feedback controllers, that mimic tactile sensations from the interaction with virtual objects, could further heighten the immersion. 

However, while these simulation games boast success, it often comes at the sacrifice of narrative storytelling or any form of action – an essential component of most video games. While they excel at creating realistic experiences, their lack of narrative depth can lead to monotony over time. This problem, however, can be solved by blending the simulation gameplay with a cohesive narrative that can provide context and motivation for the players' actions. A promising example of such an integration can be seen in Bippinbits’ upcoming game " PVKK: Planetenverteidigungskanonenkommandant” that has the players take charge of a large planetary cannon which they must operate in order to protect their world from foreign threats. With a staggeringly detailed operating station that the players must use to operate the planetary cannon, the game is best described as a planetary cannon simulator. Yet, despite its simulation-like gameplay, PVKK features an unfolding narrative across several in-game days, culminating in a grand finale. 

This impressive amalgamation of simulation and narrative gameplay offers a blueprint that can be used in VR game development. By focusing on both player immersion and narrative justification, VR games can effectively capture the true essence of the activity. Additionally, incorporating elements of time into VR gameplay could simulate the passage of time more effectively, further enhancing the immersive experience. 

As Ryan (2015) states, “Virtual reality offers an unprecedented level of immersion, allowing users to not just observe but actively participate in simulated worlds, fundamentally altering the nature of storytelling and interaction.” This aspect of VR can be amplified through the incorporation of advanced artificial intelligence with VR. With the rise of sophisticated artificial intelligence that is capable of analyzing and being trained using vast quantities of data, dynamic games can be created that are capable of reacting to player’s actions in the virtual world. 

For instance, in a VR flight simulator, the AI can be used to create unique weather effects that would directly affect the aircraft and its flying capabilities. Trained AI could also be used to simulate panic among the flight crew and the passengers requiring the intervention of the pilot (player) through the use of pilot’s speech functions. AI-driven non-player characters (NPCs) could further be used to simulate real-life emotions and scenarios, adding depth to ethical and emotional dilemmas reminiscent of Papers, Please (2013) by 3909 LLC. Such games, while simple from the outset, challenge one’s morality and ethical flexibility to its limits, and thus a first-person VR adaption for such games would provide an unparalleled level of engagement by immersing players directly in these dilemmas. As Murray (2017) notes, VR uniquely engages users’ emotions and intellectual abilities, making it an ideal medium for such experiences. 

In conclusion, VR is a diverse, yet underexplored, frontier in the entertainment industry that demands tremendous experimentation and innovation. Traditional approaches to game design are insufficient in the VR landscape and thus new models of storytelling and immersive mechanics are essential to fully exploit the medium’s potential. By embracing the mundane aspects of reality, providing narrative context for repetitive tasks, and harnessing AI to create dynamic, lifelike experiences, VR can finally achieve the level of immesion that the visionaries of old had long dreamed of. The journey toward true immersion is still unfolding, but its destination promises to redefine the very fabric of interactive entertainment.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 Review

The Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 complex leader takes place this month

Interestingly, Microsoft's promoted "Perfect spec" truly calls for much more MEMORY than it lets you do storage—the 1st novel game I will visualize to complete that—with those persons end up being 64 GB of GOOD OLD RAM as well as 50 GB of hard drive place respectively. Declared last night by flightsimulator.com, Microsoft are using a complex Alpha later that month, created to collect comments upon the many modern network-related stuff that comprises Microsoft Trip Simulator 2024. The game uses real-world data for making precise panoramas in addition to harden. It is possible to generate freedom as well as ratings in order to uncover fresh aircrafts along with vision.

With regard to an increasingly pleasant in addition to immersive experience, goal for the suggested specs. These will allow that you go MSFS 2024 with high-quality visual quality in addition to smooth performance practically in most scenarios. You’ll have the capacity to delight in nearly all aspects without having considerable bargains. Time for the virtual hangar will likely be each of the planes by MSFS2020 however upped grade to take entire benefit from the newest airfare sort in MSFS2024. 4 years as soon as the kick off connected with Microsoft Journey Simulator inside Grand 2020, programmers become preparing yourself the release of the very development along with bold Microsoft simulator software outcome inside 40-plus-year-old businesses heritage.

In fact, the environment in the simulation is really as all-around a a digital two with the real earth since gets have you been body. I picked up a great deal on digital twos via Nvidia — that supplies the processors in order to control simulations which make it possible for BMW develop a a digital twin manufacturing facility to be able to finalize the design by the idea assembles the manufacturer in real life. In addition to Nvidia ambitiously becomes put together Earth-2, a simulation from the complete world therefore exact to the item may possibly at some point double to forecast weather modify for many years in to the future.

Normally, all of that accomplishes feature stringent specialized needs, nevertheless shockingly enough, the prerequisites have got basically moved lower in the few areas when compared with it's forerunner. I've rounded in place every one of the data you need to know about enjoying Microsoft Airfare Simulator 2024 in Opportunities LAPTOP OR COMPUTER. Microsoft Trip Simulator 2024 will certainly introduction before long by a number of systems. Players may access the overall game in various rituals and devices. The brand new edition offers you wide compatibility with openness choices.

MobileSyrup’s Vacation Present Manual 2023 Edition

You'll in addition want In which i am able to Download Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 to offer your DxDiag for you to Microsoft for you to confirm ones specs run into the needs, nevertheless, you would not have to achieve the simulator about pre-order. Microsoft Trip Simulator 2024 are going to be launching by Nov 19th 2024 also pledges being one of the most driven simulator still created by Microsoft. With plenty of brand new jet, all-new expertise, plus the assurance of any more immersive entire world, there will be a large total regarding transformation using the all-new simulator arriving this year.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 will certainly release in Xbox Strings X/S by The fall of 19, 2024. He's been produce regarding the technology business for many years with his favourite themes to help covering consist of Massive Support, media, and video game. He or she was present besides the past Article Director of the Petri THE ITEM Knowledgebase from 2022 for you to 2023. “Their enjoy a never-ending system where it hardly feeds itself constantly,” he included. Nevertheless STOL levels of competition don’t really occur inside the real life, Bad guy made clear. They materialize here Microsoft Airfare Simulator at the same time through a similar competing sequences call up National eSTOL.

All this has been said without having getting yourself into the smaller transforms. There’s a greatly top degree of ground depth, there’s system new planes with choppers by default with ongoing base for that a huge selection of occurring user-made supplements. Most at home, the ‘Pale Client’, which usually puts much more properties inside the fog up along with dramatically lowers the number of data demanded about the tough passion to be able to act. Operating Right Simulations, with regard to illustration, is often a small third-party group which commenced producing quality mods with regard to past Journey Simulator titles. This time around, they’re into the camping tents, operating hand-in-hand with Microsoft as well as Asobo to deliver hyper-realistic avionics systems both for in-flight in addition to pre-flight.

There’s just one quest (that survived hard) exactly where an individual journey an F/A-18e above the Great Canyon. How anyway people achieve these missions becomes an issue that can carry on the record in your career. You possibly can and embark on once a week competitions within a sort of esports of the impression. Which doesn’t count number the folks with the Purple data hearts in which allow the digital camera twin being shopped from the fog up computing data highlights in which issue the information with the competition at home real-time towards persons’ laptop or computer.

With the entire its world brings up to date, the existing form associated with Air travel Sim is usually as much as 15 occasion the contract put in dimensions associated with that new Airline flight Sim 2024 model. Of course, if people wished to try hog outdoors with all the mods you could theoretically slap a preposterous 2 TB because the mount size. Players may attempt sets from small levels for you to vast traveler jets. Generally there may also end up being original cars like sizzling atmosphere balloons along with blimps.

In excess of simply a technological up grade, the success associated with video game sorts also presents, as well as the regular backgrounds and planes, include increased considerably as the many driven airline flight simulator out there whenever this launches that The fall of. In proceeding bigger, Asobo Facilities and its particular partners get ensured of which another client accessibility is just as vital for the reason that loyalty in addition to accuracy regarding its presentation and also taking care of. However even though you don’t have to get to the marijuanas associated with any involving this, Flight Simulator 2024 has a considerably larger number of objective-based pastimes now in.

💡 15 Inventos Geniales que Debes Ver

En este viaje a través del ingenio humano, nos sumergiremos en un universo de inventos geniales. Desde dispositivos revolucionarios hasta soluciones innovadoras, este vídeo está repleto de sorpresas. Acompáñanos hasta el final y descubre cómo la imaginación y la determinación han dado lugar a algunos inventos que debes ver. El vídeo: https://youtu.be/YzDLsu2I0KU Te puede interesar: - 👽 Visitando una Civilización Superior - 🪐 ¿Otro Planeta para Vivir? 15 Inventos Geniales que Debes Ver: nFrontier Pylo: Londres espera un gran aumento en el tráfico de bicicletas, con alrededor de 10 veces más bicicletas en las calles en los próximos años. Mientras tanto, en Nueva York, el uso de bicicletas se duplicó en marzo de 2020. Estos hechos entusiasmaron al equipo de nFrontier, quienes han creado un prototipo para lo que ellos llaman el casco de bicicleta más inteligente del mundo. Tiene sonido envolvente, e incluso un airbag llamado protector facial, todo envuelto alrededor de tu cabeza. Es un protector facial completo con gafas, algo que muchos ciclistas han estado echando de menos. Si el clima empeora, puedes colocar una visera. La carcasa del casco incluso tiene luces LED que puedes controlar con un simple toque de tus dedos. Entrenador portátil Vrgineers: Los pilotos que utilizan el entrenador portátil de Vrgineers tienen más probabilidades de aprobar sus exámenes finales en el primer intento. Permite entrenar en casi cualquier avión o helicóptero, lo que lo hace adecuado para el entrenamiento de pilotos militares y civiles. Los escenarios son diversos, desde misiones de rescate hasta vuelos en escuadrón. ¿Cómo lo consiguió la empresa? Agregaron soporte para simuladores como Microsoft Flight Simulator, Prepar3D y X-Plane. Pero la parte más genial es su portabilidad. El entrenador portátil de Vrgineers pesa 80 kilogramos y se puede transportar en un estuche especial que también funciona como base. Además, solo tarda aproximadamente media hora en montarse y configurarse, incluso si vuelas solo. Entrega subterránea de Pipedream Labs: La ciudad de Peachtree Corners en los Estados Unidos no es muy grande y solo tiene 42.000 habitantes, pero está adoptando rápidamente innovaciones inteligentes. La empresa Pipedream ha establecido un sistema de entrega único que funciona como un hiperloop en miniatura. Los robots se desplazan por carriles en un túnel subterráneo, entregando pizzas en solo 5 minutos. El túnel se extiende por 1,6 kilómetros y conecta el parque tecnológico Curiosity Lab con un centro comercial. Es una configuración prometedora que garantiza que la comida no se enfríe en el tráfico ni llegue 30 minutos tarde. BladeBUG: El ingeniero Chris Cheslak conoce bien las palas de las turbinas eólicas, por eso diseñó un robot para ayudar en su mantenimiento. Este trabajador de seis patas se arrastra por las palas buscando grietas y deformaciones. Su primer gran trabajo fue revisar la central eléctrica eólica O Catapult en Escocia. El robot caminó a lo largo de la pala durante unos 50 metros, enviando video y resultados de escaneo a los expertos. En el futuro, estos robots podrían reducir los costos de inspección en un tercio, tal vez incluso eliminando la necesidad de participación humana por completo. GyroGlove: Vive la vida sin temblores, ese es el lema de GyroGlove y captura perfectamente de qué se trata este guante. Diseñado para personas que enfrentan temblores en las manos, alberga un giroscopio que gira cuatro veces más rápido que una turbina de jet, lo que puede contrarrestar alrededor del 80% de los temblores. Inspirándose en la industria aeroespacial y las carreras de Fórmula 1, el guante es compacto y liviano con un peso de 580 gramos, perfecto para personas con Parkinson y profesionales como cirujanos o químicos que necesitan manos firmes. En el mercado estadounidense, tiene un precio de 4.900 dólares. Pantalla interactiva para vehículos AR de ITRI: ¿Alguna vez te has aburrido durante tu viaje diario? Has agotado tu lista de reproducción, has navegado por las redes sociales y has conquistado todos los niveles de Angry Birds. ¿Y ahora qué? Bueno, la gente de ITRI tiene una sugerencia: prueba a mirar por la ventana. Utilizando una combinación de GPS y cámaras, esta ventana inteligente rastrea hacia dónde estás mirando y muestra información interesante en el cristal, como datos históricos y diseños. Además, la información no bloquea tu vista. ¿Quieres saber más? Solo toca el cristal durante un tiempo prolongado. El equipo de ITRI presentó esta idea en el CES 2024 y mencionó que incluso puede funcionar con dispositivos portátiles. FlyNow: Deja atrás el tráfico, siéntate, relájate y disfruta del paisaje. No es necesario que controles el volante ni pises los pedales. Ese es el futuro que FlyNow está pintando para dentro de un par de años. Se están preparando para producir taxis voladores como el E-copter. Este vehículo eléctrico promete un alcance de 50 kilómetros y alcanza una velocidad máxima de 130 kilómetros por hora. La compañía comenzará con una versión de carga, reconociendo que no es adecuada para el ejército, pero ¿realmente importa si la adopción generalizada de E-copter puede ahorrar mucho dinero? Solo en Estados Unidos, Reino Unido y Alemania, los problemas en las carreteras provocan pérdidas superiores a los 400 mil millones de dólares. Aurrigo: Bienvenidos al futuro. Están trabajando en toda una flota de vehículos no tripulados. El Auto Shuttle, un autobús de pasajeros, ha sido visto en carreteras británicas y checas con cinco LiDAR, siete cámaras y una vista de 360 grados, además de un operador en espera listo para la acción. Para los aeropuertos está el Auto Dolly, un portaequipajes compacto. El Auto Patrol está diseñado para patrullar áreas e identificar amenazas de seguridad. Aurrigo tiene grandes planes, ya está causando sensación a nivel nacional y da la bienvenida a inversores a bordo. ¿Crees que los conductores, los encargados de equipaje y los guardias de seguridad deberían estar nerviosos? Turbulence Solutions: Se espera que el cambio climático duplique o incluso triplique la turbulencia atmosférica para la década de 2050, lo que supone un enorme desafío para la aviación. Afortunadamente, Turbulence Solutions está abordando este problema de frente. Su tecnología mejora la suavidad del vuelo en un 80% y es brillantemente simple. Se colocan sensores estratégicamente cerca del morro del avión para detectar caídas de presión. Se han probado unas especiales plumas en aviones más pequeños. El sistema avanzado reacciona a los cambios en solo 0,1 segundos, lo que le da al avión tiempo suficiente para compensar automáticamente la turbulencia. Cabe destacar que las pruebas manejaron con éxito una aceleración vertical de 30 metros por segundo. Syroco: Alex Kazakh, cuatro veces campeón mundial de kitesurf, ha batido un récord al alcanzar velocidades superiores a los 100 kilómetros por hora en una cometa. Sin querer dormirse en los laureles, Kaz cofundó Syroco y actualmente está trabajando en un velero con el objetivo de superar la barrera de los 150 kilómetros por hora. El barco cuenta con un casco hidrodinámico aerodinámico conectado a una cometa que se eleva gradualmente sobre el agua a medida que aumenta la velocidad, asemejándose a un pez volador. Curiosamente, Syroco se enfrenta a la competencia de SP80, un equipo con ambiciones similares de superar los 150 kilómetros por hora. La pregunta es: ¿quién logrará este hito primero? Powerfoyle: Primero carga tu smartphone, luego tu tableta, no olvides tus auriculares, smartwatch, parlantes y otros dispositivos. ¿Cansado de esta rutina? Deja que tu arsenal tecnológico se recargue solo, sin necesidad de enchufes. Puede sonar a fantasía, pero es real gracias a los paneles solares Powerfoyle de Exeger. Aquí está el núcleo: los fotones de luz se transforman en electrones y cargan tus auriculares a través de estos paneles. 20 minutos de luz solar te darán una hora de música. Además, tienen un grosor de apenas 1,3 milímetros e incluso pueden funcionar con luz artificial. Exeger apunta a que mil millones de personas tengan dispositivos con estos paneles para 2030. ¡Buena suerte para ellos! Hyperice X Shoulder: Lleva la tecnología utilizada en los vestuarios de los clubes deportivos de élite al público. Combina calor y frío para el calentamiento y la terapia, con modos que cambian en solo 60 segundos. Una carga completa proporciona una hora y media de uso y se puede usar en cualquier hombro. Pesa 900 gramos y es flexiblemente ajustable, lo que permite la libre movilidad del brazo. ¿Qué tan efectivo es? Bueno, la estrella del Manchester City, Erling Haaland, no solo participó en la promoción del producto Hyperice, sino que también invirtió en la empresa comprando acciones. HEX: El skateboarding puede ser difícil para los principiantes, y aquí hay una razón: la tabla se mueve hacia adelante y hacia atrás, lo que dificulta mantener el equilibrio. Para abordar esto, los creadores de HEX crearon un patín con ruedas pintadas que giran solo en una dirección. El patín mide 56 centímetros, entrando en la categoría de mini cruiser según la clasificación de sus creadores. Es fácil de llevar a mano o en una bolsa especial. Ahora la pregunta es, ¿cuándo podemos anticipar una versión eléctrica? Magic Float: ¿Te quedas sin espacio en el muelle? ¿Necesitas urgentemente un café flotante, un cruce o una plataforma para helicópteros? Los bloques Magic Float son la solución, piensa en ellos como Lego para adultos. Fáciles de trabajar y divertidos de construir incluso sin experiencia, puedes crear una plataforma de 10 metros cuadrados en solo una hora. Cada metro cuadrado de Magic Float puede soportar hasta 1.129 kilogramos, dependiendo del modelo de bloque. Pueden soportar el calor del verano y el frío del invierno, soportando temperaturas tan bajas como -60 grados. Estos bloques no se congelan en hielo y están equipados para manejar cargas de olas de hasta cinco puntos. Milenco Aluminium Leveller más TRED GT WHEEL CHOCK: Son dos diseños temáticos automotrices. El primero es un nivelador de 4,8 kilogramos capaz de soportar alrededor de una tonelada y perfecto para levantar o nivelar un automóvil o remolque para acampar con una altura máxima de 12 entímetros. El segundo es un par de cuñas que se conectan entre sí para ahorrar espacio. Su perfil agresivo asegura un agarre óptimo y, al estar hechas de polipropileno, son fáciles de sostener con una mano.

💡 15 Inventos Geniales que Debes Ver

En este viaje a través del ingenio humano, nos sumergiremos en un universo de inventos geniales. Desde dispositivos revolucionarios hasta soluciones innovadoras, este vídeo está repleto de sorpresas. Acompáñanos hasta el final y descubre cómo la imaginación y la determinación han dado lugar a algunos inventos que debes ver. El vídeo: https://youtu.be/YzDLsu2I0KU Te puede interesar: - 👽 Visitando una Civilización Superior - 🪐 ¿Otro Planeta para Vivir? 15 Inventos Geniales que Debes Ver: nFrontier Pylo: Londres espera un gran aumento en el tráfico de bicicletas, con alrededor de 10 veces más bicicletas en las calles en los próximos años. Mientras tanto, en Nueva York, el uso de bicicletas se duplicó en marzo de 2020. Estos hechos entusiasmaron al equipo de nFrontier, quienes han creado un prototipo para lo que ellos llaman el casco de bicicleta más inteligente del mundo. Tiene sonido envolvente, e incluso un airbag llamado protector facial, todo envuelto alrededor de tu cabeza. Es un protector facial completo con gafas, algo que muchos ciclistas han estado echando de menos. Si el clima empeora, puedes colocar una visera. La carcasa del casco incluso tiene luces LED que puedes controlar con un simple toque de tus dedos. Entrenador portátil Vrgineers: Los pilotos que utilizan el entrenador portátil de Vrgineers tienen más probabilidades de aprobar sus exámenes finales en el primer intento. Permite entrenar en casi cualquier avión o helicóptero, lo que lo hace adecuado para el entrenamiento de pilotos militares y civiles. Los escenarios son diversos, desde misiones de rescate hasta vuelos en escuadrón. ¿Cómo lo consiguió la empresa? Agregaron soporte para simuladores como Microsoft Flight Simulator, Prepar3D y X-Plane. Pero la parte más genial es su portabilidad. El entrenador portátil de Vrgineers pesa 80 kilogramos y se puede transportar en un estuche especial que también funciona como base. Además, solo tarda aproximadamente media hora en montarse y configurarse, incluso si vuelas solo. Entrega subterránea de Pipedream Labs: La ciudad de Peachtree Corners en los Estados Unidos no es muy grande y solo tiene 42.000 habitantes, pero está adoptando rápidamente innovaciones inteligentes. La empresa Pipedream ha establecido un sistema de entrega único que funciona como un hiperloop en miniatura. Los robots se desplazan por carriles en un túnel subterráneo, entregando pizzas en solo 5 minutos. El túnel se extiende por 1,6 kilómetros y conecta el parque tecnológico Curiosity Lab con un centro comercial. Es una configuración prometedora que garantiza que la comida no se enfríe en el tráfico ni llegue 30 minutos tarde. BladeBUG: El ingeniero Chris Cheslak conoce bien las palas de las turbinas eólicas, por eso diseñó un robot para ayudar en su mantenimiento. Este trabajador de seis patas se arrastra por las palas buscando grietas y deformaciones. Su primer gran trabajo fue revisar la central eléctrica eólica O Catapult en Escocia. El robot caminó a lo largo de la pala durante unos 50 metros, enviando video y resultados de escaneo a los expertos. En el futuro, estos robots podrían reducir los costos de inspección en un tercio, tal vez incluso eliminando la necesidad de participación humana por completo. GyroGlove: Vive la vida sin temblores, ese es el lema de GyroGlove y captura perfectamente de qué se trata este guante. Diseñado para personas que enfrentan temblores en las manos, alberga un giroscopio que gira cuatro veces más rápido que una turbina de jet, lo que puede contrarrestar alrededor del 80% de los temblores. Inspirándose en la industria aeroespacial y las carreras de Fórmula 1, el guante es compacto y liviano con un peso de 580 gramos, perfecto para personas con Parkinson y profesionales como cirujanos o químicos que necesitan manos firmes. En el mercado estadounidense, tiene un precio de 4.900 dólares. Pantalla interactiva para vehículos AR de ITRI: ¿Alguna vez te has aburrido durante tu viaje diario? Has agotado tu lista de reproducción, has navegado por las redes sociales y has conquistado todos los niveles de Angry Birds. ¿Y ahora qué? Bueno, la gente de ITRI tiene una sugerencia: prueba a mirar por la ventana. Utilizando una combinación de GPS y cámaras, esta ventana inteligente rastrea hacia dónde estás mirando y muestra información interesante en el cristal, como datos históricos y diseños. Además, la información no bloquea tu vista. ¿Quieres saber más? Solo toca el cristal durante un tiempo prolongado. El equipo de ITRI presentó esta idea en el CES 2024 y mencionó que incluso puede funcionar con dispositivos portátiles. FlyNow: Deja atrás el tráfico, siéntate, relájate y disfruta del paisaje. No es necesario que controles el volante ni pises los pedales. Ese es el futuro que FlyNow está pintando para dentro de un par de años. Se están preparando para producir taxis voladores como el E-copter. Este vehículo eléctrico promete un alcance de 50 kilómetros y alcanza una velocidad máxima de 130 kilómetros por hora. La compañía comenzará con una versión de carga, reconociendo que no es adecuada para el ejército, pero ¿realmente importa si la adopción generalizada de E-copter puede ahorrar mucho dinero?

Best of 2020: Game of The Year

Nominee: Microsoft Flight Simulator

We pick things up with one of the most realistic flight simulators ever created.

We’re all familiar with the tech thats used to train pilots. And familiar with the like minded games, namely Pilot wings and top gun snes.

In a clear advancement of both tech and processing power, you get the chance to pilot realistic simulations of 20 types of aircraft from the smallest cropduster medium size hang glider and all the way up to the familiar commercial jets that most of us didn’t end up going in this year.

40 airports were specifically built from the ground up while in an amazing feat of technical ingenuity using Bing maps and connective reconstructive tech, every conceivable type of airstrip from small deserts all the way up to small-town regional airports we’re painstakingly re-constructed using stead of the rendering cloud Microsoft azure.

 and when it wasn’t flying over the Epstein island or the wildfires out west. We used to see hurricanes around hometowns and even the empty cities where lockdowns kept out the traffic. This was everything for those who wanted to get out but couldn’t.

For a PC game to do this is downright spectacular. Let’s just hope the Xbox series X can replicate those feelings.

SUM 22: The worlds most famous flight simulator became more popular than ever this year thanks to unfortunate real world circumstances.

Planet Earth From Above

Melbourne, Australia: home of kangaroos, botanical gardens, and a surreal monolith, jutting impossibly tall and narrow above its unassuming neighbors.

[images from a video by reddit user fulltimespy, in a successful completion of the Monolith Challenge]

This is the virtual Melbourne of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, where players are flocking to see the weird building and, naturally, land on its roof, before the game is patched and the monolith disappears.

How did this happen? Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 uses AI to fill in building details from a combination of satellite images and crowdsourced data from Open Street Maps. And at one point, someone who was entering building height data for Melbourne made a typo, accidentally changing a building height of 2 stories to 212. Monoliths are gradually being discovered in other places as well.

Even barring typos, the task of reconstructing every building in the world from height data and satellite photos is really tough. A roof’s details might give clues about whether a structure is a historic villa or an office block, but it’s easy to make mistakes if, for example, you don’t know what the Washington Monument is.

[screenshot posted by Reddit user NightReaper3210]

Because a nondescript office building is a reasonable default guess given a square building pad and a many-story height, the AI will tend to populate the planet with them unless specifically told otherwise. The Statue of Liberty, the Taj Mahal, and the Eiffel Tower are all lavishly hand-modeled in 3D. But The Motherland Calls statue of Volgograd is a condo high-rise, Buckingham Palace is an apartment complex, the Leaning Tower of Pisa is a vertical concrete silo, and the Pyramid of the Sun is a nondescript warehouse with a hilarious tiny dome on its roof.

[screenshot, posted on reddit by l4adventure]

The AI is also making its best guesses when it comes to traffic patterns. It knew that this Boston street intersected a building somehow but didn’t know that the road passed through the building via tunnel. So it had the traffic drive up the side of the building.

Other terrain glitches force the traffic to do even weirder things. If the road is suddenly tilted vertically along the wall of a newly created canyon in northwest Iowa, the traffic will still drive on the road, just… sideways.

Water levels in particular seem prone to being incorrect, sometimes drastically so. The Pingualuit Impact Crater of northern Canada was apparently inverted by one of these glitches.

[image by reddit user NovaSilisko]

Bergen, Norway, has been transformed by this bug into canyonlike terrain, its buildings forced to adapt to the suddenly steep ground, their roofs rising like mushrooms for dozens of stories. It’s otherworldly, unrecognizable.

[screenshot by Mikael Privatby]

Greenland, on the other hand, is terrifying. The available terrain and satellite data is less precise, so pixels are sometimes visible as square-edged neighborhood-sized patches of gravel. The far north is marked by 20,000 foot ice walls, improbable ice spikes, and strange shimmering rifts. The geographic North Pole itself is unreachable; players report that any attempt to descend below 2,000 feet results in the player being rocketed skyward by a strange repulsion force.

[20,000 foot ice wall image: reddit user unrelentingdespair]

[screenshot near the north pole: reddit user Feydakin_G]

Some Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 players are thrilled with the unusual terrain, while others are disappointed when the photorealism is broken, and/or when their city’s distinctive architecture and most beloved landmarks are replaced by nondescript concrete jungle. The AI itself isn’t going to be able to reconstruct the world’s weirdness from satellite photos, so already people are crowdsourcing hand-modeled landmarks. You can install an add-on to convert Stonehenge, for example, from a miniature flattened Spinal Tap version to a full-sized 3D model.

As the developers tweak their algorithms and fix other things by hand, slowly the weirdness will be ironed out, the rivers and lakes set back in their beds, the statues restored to their detailed glory. Many will be disappointed when it happens - I’ll particularly miss the Melbourne Monolith. It would be nice to have a weirdness slider that goes from normal to Ragnarok, amplifying terrain chaos, perhaps adding the occasional floating mountain range or lava lake.

Subscribers get bonus content: I prompted GPT-3 to write an Atlas Obscura entry for the Melbourne Monolith. It added entries for a few other Melbourne landmarks, like the Artificial Gardens of Loria and The Very Pickled Centurion (did you know that the Lost Bar, like the Australian rules football lounge, is 10,000 light years away from the city it's located in?)
