Apple Watch OS9

 

Apple Watch OS9


Apple announced a host of new features for watchOS 9 during its WWDC 2022 event, including improved running tracking, heart-rate zone tracking, and custom workout creation. 

Runners will be especially pleased with this update. The Apple Watch will be able to track running metrics like stride length or ground-contact time. It will also automatically track your most common routes and let you race against yourself, alerting you as to how you can beat your best time. It will also let you set a goal for your run, so your watch will keep on pace with alerts and metrics as you go. For those of you who do not love to run, Apple announced a bunch of other updates for all kinds of workouts. For triathletes, for instance, the Apple Watch will use motion sensors to automatically change how it tracks each kind of activity running, swimming, or cycling then give you a detailed, specific readout at the end of the workout. 

Or if you are a big swimmer, Apple Watch will be able to give you a SWOLF score, which is a stroke count combined with the time it takes to swim the length of the pool. Or, let's say you are overly concerned with how hard you are working out. The heart-rate zone tracking feature will help you track intensity. If you have ever taken a class at Orangetheory Fitness, this is a familiar concept. But effectively, it can be used to build a difficult and well-rounded workout. Along with the fitness updates, Apple announced several health updates to the Watch, including more detailed sleep tracking and AFib tracking. 

Watch users will be able to track things like REM, core, or deep sleep in the Sleep app, as well as detailed info like time asleep, heart rate, and respiratory rate. The health app will even create charts tracking this info over time. The Apple Watch will also now be able to track a user's AFib history. Apple Watch's ECG app and irregular rhythm notification system can alert folks to risk of AFib, which is a condition that can lead to a stroke.

Agricultural Robots: Do we really need them?

Robotics and Artificial Intelligence  Artificial intelligence and big data are reshaping traditional businesses. Robotics and artificial intelligence are two areas that are linked but not the same. It is the design of robots to do tasks autonomously whereas AI is how systems mimic the human mind to make judgments and learn. While robotics can have an AI component (vice versa), both can and generally do exist independently. AI simplifies big data analytics by automating and improving data preparation, data visualization, predictive modelling and other complicated analytical operations that would otherwise be time-consuming and labor-intensive. If you have no knowledge about bigdata, it is okay. Big data is the gasoline that powers AI. Large volumes of different data allow machine learning systems to perform what they were supposed to do: learn and master a skill. The more data the AI has access to, the more it can learn and enhance its pattern detection capabilities.  After yea...

The Holographic Frontier: Redefining Physical Engagement at Live Events

  For years, the success of a tech conference was measured by a simple checklist: big-name speakers, a packed exhibitor hall, and after-parties with decent WiFi. Attendees would flock in, exchange a flurry of business cards, have dozens of promising conversations, and then... nothing. The connections would fade, the momentum would stall, and the vibrant community built over three days would dissipate into a few forgotten LinkedIn connections. The event became a moment in time, not a movement.  But a seismic shift is underway. The most forward-thinking event organizers are no longer selling tickets to a physical (or virtual) gathering. They are building ecosystems. And the secret weapon in this new arms race? The transition from a temporary event app to a year-round community platform. The Glaring Gap in the Event Experience Think about the traditional event lifecycle: Months of Hype:  A relentless drumbeat of marketing emails and social posts. The Main Event:  A fren...
