VPS or visual positioning system... this is how AR glasses and robots will understand where they are in the real world and know where to go.
It’s also how you can spatially annotate reality with cm level accuracy - all using a machine readable model of the world.
3d visual positioning experiment -- look at the alignment between the 3d mesh and the live camera view. Truly feels magical -- like x-ray vision.
Workflow:
1. Scanned a street in 15 mins w/ xgrids
2. Localized against that scan at night, in real-time, while sitting in a car
The xgrids scanner (w/ rgb + lidar) is perfect to build maps for humans (3d gaussian splats). Then multiset ai makes it easy to build machine-readable maps for AR and robotics to figure out exactly where they are in 3d space with cm-level accuracy.
Everything else has been said numerous times, but I'd always remember Ratan Tata ji as the giant who stood up for the little. He cared & spoke up for animals, esp street dogs, like noone else of his stature did. May his legacy of love for the voiceless leave a generation inspired
A grave issue is unraveling at SJR Bluewaters, a large gated society in #Bengaluru. In severe violation of Supreme Court & @awbi laws that deem relocation of stray dogs as illegal, the residents and management have violently driven out the peaceful community dogs of 6+ years

You meet thousands of people throughout your life. Most relationships barely start, many fade away.
But occasionally, you hit a home run.
Treasure these people you have an instant connection with, they are rarer than you think.
The Health Ministry has asked hospitals to use oxygen judiciously.
This is important because I've seen hospital staff spiking their sodas with a shot of O2 all the time.
Even attendants bring hydrogen from home and use hospital's oxygen to make H2O to prepare cup noodles.
