A talk from the http://www.republika.io conference:
You may have heard about recent reports and the debates on gun parts that are printed on a "3D printer". You may have heard about the RepRaps - the home built replicating 3D printers. You may have heard of NASAs plans to send a 3D Printer up to the moon to print out a moon base out of moon dust. You may argue, that this is old trick, since the ability to print out objects made of plastic and other materials have been around for more then a decade. Yet behold. I will prove to you that 3D printing will change absolutely everything. And with that change, a revolution will come, as we (our laws, our welfare systems, our society) are caught unprepared. (As a politician and a geek I will concentrate on the cool stuff, and not tune into the doomsday prophecies chants)
This document discusses the potential for 3D printing to shape the future of various industries. It notes that the global 3D printing market is forecast to reach $16.2 billion by 2018, and that many major companies have committed to 3D printing. While early predictions for consumer 3D printer uptake were uncertain, business uptake is on a clear rise. The document explores potential applications of 3D printing in construction, manufacturing, consumer goods, and other sectors.
Virtual reality models can be used in cleanroom design to visualize the design before construction begins. VR models are created using IFC files from BIM models, allowing designers to experience the space with little extra work. Functionality prototypes for VR cleanroom design include teleporting, moving equipment, and accessing equipment information from external databases. Future developments include multi-user environments, lighting analysis, sound simulation, and integrating real-time data from sensors. BIM information can also be used to create digital twins that update the virtual model based on real-world data for facilities management.
VR and AR technologies can be used to improve safety in the construction industry. They allow for:
1) Visualizing construction projects through 3D models to identify risks and prevent issues like excavation damage to underground pipelines.
2) Serious gaming approaches that make safety training more engaging through competitive design challenges and scoring systems.
3) Augmented reality applications that overlay digital information onto the real world, such as using AR to provide work instructions or design projects directly on a table top.

Rockin' the Web into the Next Dimension: JQueryTO 2014 Final KeynoteVerold
Mozilla gave the web development community a wake up call last year at GDC by demonstrating the Unreal Engine running in the browser. Graphics, audio, networking, all performing natively in Javascript, without plugins. The implications for game development are huge - no more painful porting to multiple platforms, and significantly faster user acquisition. But we’re not talking about technology in the latest game console, we’re talking about technology in your web browser. Technology that is available to you, as a web designer and developer. It’s pushing the frontier of web design, and we’re all going to be better for it.
Mozilla’s demo was made possible largely because of WebGL, the Javascript API that lets web developers write directly to the graphics card. WebGL is an open standard that has been gaining momentum over the last three years. Alone, it opens up massive opportunities for data visualization and high performance graphics in your web apps and games. But it’s not alone, it’s part of an alphabet soup of advanced features in modern browsers that give creative coders unprecedented freedom: WebGL for graphics, WebCL and Web Workers for processing, WebRTC for networking, Web Sockets for real-time services and hardware device access.
Folks, there is a new frontier to be explored. Thanks to your modern browser, you have more raw horsepower than you could ever have imagined. I’m going to show you what’s possible, and inspire you to reach out of your comfort zone and use this new freedom to create next generation user experiences. The web is sexy again, let’s rock it!

Review and Overview on Computational Visualization in Augmented RealityMarco Losurdo
Short Presentation on the use of Augmented Reality to visualize Computational Results. In this work results obtained using Star CCM+, Vuforia and Unity 3D are presented. Test Case BMW Z3. The present Scenario and a possible future Scenario are described. The strategy successfully deals with other CFD, FEM and Meshless codes simulating a variety of different simulations (combustion, buildings, mixing, aerodynamics...)
This document discusses Autodesk's Forge platform and its focus on immersive experiences using augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and mixed reality. It outlines Autodesk's current and planned offerings in this area, including VR experiences like Sketchbook, Revit Live, and VRED. Prototypes involving AR model overlays and flood simulations are also mentioned. The document discusses Autodesk's goal of preparing models for AR/VR through automated processes like decimation, LOD generation, UV unwrapping, and topology repair. An AR/VR API in development will streamline access to prepared models from Forge and other Autodesk products for use in third-party apps.
Immersive Web technologies like WebXR allow developers to build augmented and virtual reality experiences that can be accessed through web browsers on various devices. This expands accessibility of XR beyond specialized headsets to a wide range of phones, tablets and computers. WebXR uses web standards and APIs to integrate with sensors, displays and inputs, enabling cross-device experiences. As support grows across browsers and devices, the web has the potential to become a leading platform for immersive content and applications.
This document discusses the past, present, and future of augmented reality (AR) technology. It outlines key AR patents from Apple and Microsoft from 2009 to 2010. It also mentions recent developments like the Fraunhofer high-performance mixed reality system and Qualcomm's Snapdragon chips. The document discusses current challenges of AR like device constraints and occlusion. It envisions future applications of AR in areas like education, marketing, and games. It raises questions around monetization models and standards for AR technologies.
Independent of the source of data, the integration of event streams into an Enterprise Architecture gets more and more important in the world of sensors, social media streams and Internet of Things. Events have to be accepted quickly and reliably, they have to be distributed and analyzed, often with many consumers or systems interested in all or part of the events. Dependent on the size and quantity of such events, this can quickly be in the range of Big Data. How can we efficiently collect and transmit these events? How can we make sure that we can always report over historical events? How can these new events be integrated into traditional infrastructure and application landscape?
Starting with a product and technology neutral reference architecture, we will then present different solutions using Open Source frameworks and the Oracle Stack both for on premises as well as the cloud.
The document summarizes an HTML5 meeting that took place on March 2nd, 2011 in Amsterdam. It includes the schedule of speakers which involved topics like HTML5 semantics, video playback, CSS3, device access capabilities, 3D graphics, offline storage, connectivity improvements, and performance. It also discusses Adobe's tools for HTML5 like the Illustrator HTML5 pack and Browserlab, as well as how Flash and HTML5 can be used together.
In a future where digital services and physical products come together, it seems like the tech community is having the greatest influence on our world. In some ways, this is great, but we seem to have forgotten those designers with the talent for crafting physical forms that can fit into our hands, our homes and our lives.
For a future Internet of Things, the UX community needs to better engage Industrial Designers in what we do. This talk explored how we do that.
NB, this is a talk intended for a UX audience, and is meant to be a starter of an ongoing discussion between both UX and Industrial Design fields. If you want to be part of the discussion, please get in contact.

In this presentation, van Emden covers the basics of scaling edge AI solutions using the Nx tool kit. He emphasizes the process of developing AI models and deploying them globally. He also showcases the conversion of AI models and the creation of effective edge AI pipelines, with a focus on pre-processing, model conversion, selecting the appropriate inference engine for the target hardware and post-processing.
van Emden shows how Nx can simplify the developer’s life and facilitate a rapid transition from concept to production-ready applications.He provides valuable insights into developing scalable and efficient edge AI solutions, with a strong focus on practical implementation.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
