Winners and Losers in the Age of Automation
The so-called Fourth Industrial Revolution is upon us. Computers make decisions on their own and their logic now evolves and improves without human intervention. Robots operate independently. Our homes and cars and cities are increasingly connected and automated. The definition of “reality” blurs when we add the suffixes “virtual” or ‘augmented.”
If you think technology-driven change has been dramatic over the past decade, just wait. Essential foundations have been laid in computing speed, data science and storage, wireless connectivity, material science, and robotics that presage exponentially more and faster change, from artificial intelligence and machine learning to connected homes and cities, to on-demand manufacturing.
In this wide-ranging and provocative talk, punctuated with videos and demos, Mark provides an overview of the current and impending wave of massive change, including implications for individuals, businesses, entire sectors, and even countries and regions.
For groups interested in diving deeper into this topic, Mark leads a workshop building on the information and concepts introduced in this talk, connecting emerging technologies and sectors with specific implications for ourselves, our businesses, and our sectors. From augmented reality to artificial intelligence to 3D printing, workshop participants investigate these areas in greater detail and develop game plans to be more proactive in the face of accelerating change, threats, and opportunities.

“The rising tide of AI and automation has sparked
fears of a jobless future.
Some jobs will certainly disappear over time, but
there will still be lots for humans to do.
It just won’t be the work we’re doing today!”
- Cognizant, 2017 World Economic Forum
“21 million new jobs will be created in the next
decade by augmenting human skills with emerging AI
and automation.
Organizations that act now to transform work and
their workplaces will thrive.
However, only 7% of firms surveyed by Forrester
Research appear to be poised for action.”

Non-gaming applications for AR and VR grow faster than gaming:
Though much of the early attention in the AR/VR market has rightfully been focused on gaming, one of the main reasons I expect to see a healthy AR/VR hardware environment in the new year is because of the non-gaming applications I believe will be released in 2018. The Google Earth experience for the HTC Vive gave us an early inkling of the possibilities, but it’s clear that educational, training, travel and experiential applications for these devices offer potential for widespread appeal beyond the strong, but still limited, hardcore gaming market.
Development tools for non-gaming AR and VR applications are still in their infancy, so this prediction might take two years to completely play itself out. However, I’m convinced that, just as gaming plays a critical but not overwhelming role in the usage of smartphones, PCs and other computing devices, so, too, will it play an important but not primary role for AR and VR devices. Also, in the near term, the non-gaming portion of AR and VR applications is quite small, so from a growth perspective, it should be relatively easy for these types of both consumer and business-focused applications to grow at a faster pace than gaming apps this year.
In Nov 2016, online e-commerce giant Alibaba made history, launching a shopping experience driven by VR for Singles Day (China’s anti-Valentine’s Day) that netted USD 17.8 billion in transactions (ALL online Alibaba transactions). More than all of Brazil for a year.
Common Augmented Reality Platform (CAP) From Bosch
Augmented Reality (AR) is defined as a technology that superimposes a computer-generated image on a user's view of the real world, thus providing a composite view. AR applications can expand the user’s reality by adding useful additional information. Using a tablet or smart phone where explanations, pictures or drawings are added to the live image once the tablet or phone’s camera is aimed at an area for which AR information is available.
Bosch is a pioneer in the use of Augmented Reality applications for the automotive sector and to aid in the development of the most efficient AR applications, Bosch has recently introduced an updated version of the Common Augmented Reality Platform (CAP). While AR has been around for over 20 years it has never fulfilled its productivity promises mainly because each program was a one-time application that had to be built manually making it expensive, time consuming and not scalable. With the introduction of the Bosch CAP these problems were solved and CAP has proven to be a very useful technology that provides fast and easy integration of digital and visual contents into technical documentation, repair manuals, training programs as well as sales platforms and others.
This new Bosch CAP program is used for the creation of high-performance Augmented Reality applications and is backed up by a comprehensive database from which it extracts the matching contents for the respective AR application. Besides written information and explanations in text format, video clips, pictures, safety instructions with audio clips, 3D data, circuit diagrams, technical drawings and markers for the tracking configuration can also be added. This new technology is available to any industry and provides a cost-effective use of AR allowing Bosch customers to increase sales revenues while reducing warranty and training costs.
When Augmented Reality is used in automotive workshops, repair technician can see much more of the vehicles detail such as the location of hidden areas or components as well as cable routing behind the dashboard which are viewed on a tablet or smart phone screen. Repair instructions and required special tools will also be displayed on the live image. With the touch screen, the displayed objects can be rotated or enlarged as needed and additional information can be viewed often eliminating the need to review in detail service manuals.
Augmented Reality when used in the repair shop increases both the speed and quality of vehicle repairs and has proved to be an extremely useful tool for training and education.
Robert Bosch plans to raise its expertise in the field of augmented-reality (AR) technology by acquiring a minority stake in Munich-based AR specialist Reflekt.
The German automotive supplier group has worked together with Reflekt for the past two years, building applications for production, service, training and marketing. Together, they also launched the first software platform for the industrialization of AR.
Augmented reality applications offer an enhanced perception by adding digital elements to reality. For example, explanations, 3D objects or videos can be shown on the display of a device pointed at a “real” object. In automotive workshops, components that are not immediately visible can be inspected true to scale and in their correct location. Work instructions, error codes and the required tools can be displayed as well.
Said Hans-Peter Meyen, board member in the automotive aftermarket division of Bosch: “In the industrial sector and the automotive aftermarket, AR applications will save time and reduce costs.”

Doesn’t sell the machines. Subscription, plus consumables, plus data, plus – as it turns out – licensing esp for medical devisces.

Not since Amelia Earhart’s ill-fated round-the-world trip in 1937 has an aviation attempt so captured the world’s attention. Bertrand Piccard and Andre Borschberg took turns piloting the Solar Impulse–a 100% solar-powered aircraft–on a “17-stage journey [that] covered some 42,000km, taking in four continents, three seas and two oceans.” The project was a decade in the making, resulting in an aircraft that’s about the weight of a car but with the wingspan of a Boeing 747; that span houses 17,000 solar cells. The journey itself took 16.5 months and saw the piloting duo breaking 19 aviation records, including the absolute world record for longest (time duration) uninterrupted solo flight at nearly 118 hours. While this achievement is certainly significant, its inspirational cachet is arguably more so. Upon landing in Abu Dhabi to end the around-the-world flight that began with the intent to raise awareness of the capabilities of renewable energy, Piccard said, “The future is clean. The future is you. The future is now. Let’s take it further.”
This is already a few years old.
