We know that AI is capable for anything at this point. So it is not a surprise that we can now have our own personalised perfume with the help of this very promising technology. By making a stop at the newest Perfume Flagship Shop in Oxford Street you will be able to try out their newest, interactive AI-guided ‘Algorithmic Perfumery’ experience that allows customers “to explore a new dimension of fragrance personalisation,” explains The Fragrance Shop to create personalised scents in-store. Now you can create a perfume as unique as you with the first ever AI – fragrance creation machine.
Do you love exploring history and travelling? Well here is a budget friendly way to do so, with the new immersive inhibition on Notre Dame de Paris that opens this coming February at West Minster Abbey. Visitors will have the opportunity to enter this historical masterpiece with the help of a HistoPad that will be given to them and immerse themselves in this multi-sensory experience.
In a world where technology is becoming part of our every day lives, protests are now becoming digital too. This app called Sow AR has now been created to bring awareness and expose companies that support cruel practices in the meat industry in the most innovative way. The digital artists involved in this campaign, have placed a huge squealing AR pig on Top of six locations in the UK including Tescos and Barclays. The artist Naho Matsuda says the idea is to make the invisible in the industrial food system, visible.
Travellers braise your seats and get ready for these very exciting and promising news. Travelling is about to become a lot easier with the new high tech gates at the UK airports that will use advanced facial recognition technology for people arriving into the UK boarders. You forgot your passport at home? This will now be a problem of the past.
Are you a fun of art exhibitions? Then keep reading. A team at the University of Southapton has developed a way to bring any art exhibition that is happening around the world in the comfort of your own space. With the help of Virtual Reality technology users will be able to walk around and interact with the art around them. The technology uses 3D scanning drones and 360-degree cameras to capture imagery of an exhibition and build a virtual model.
We’ve seen AI resurrecting actors from the dead but now this is becoming a very profitable business as more and more people seek their loved ones that have passed away through the help of Artificial Intelligence technology. Specifically in China has become very popular for mourners to create avatars of their departed and to find comfort watching them talk to them, like they are still alive.
Until next time,The Xi Gang xx
