Universal media access, as proposed and discussed in the late 1990s and early 2000s, is now a reality. It is very easy to generate, distribute, share, and consume any media content, anywhere, anytime, and on any device. Most of these real-time entertainment services (streaming audio and video) are typically deployed…

虚拟现实（VR）、增强现实（AR）和混合现实（MR）系统为用户提供了逼真的模拟。众所周知，VR / AR / MR的典型应用是游戏，但你是否知道他们还可以用于创建虚拟乐器（VMI）呢？
虚拟乐器可能会也可能不会直接模仿传统的真实乐器。真实乐器可以产生美丽的音乐，但是受到物理和声学限制，学习真实乐器也很难。而通过消除许多这些限制，虚拟乐器设计人员可以专注于新的挑战，例如

Virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR) systems present users with realistic simulations. The most common application is gaming, but did you know that VR/AR/MR can also create virtual musical instruments (VMIs)? VMIs may or may not mimic traditional physical musical instruments. Physical instruments can produce beautiful…

El economista ganador del Premio Nobel, Herbert Simon, describió famosamente la “pobreza en la atención” que acompaña a la superabundancia de la información. Este concepto se aplica, ciertamente, a la era actual de los Grandes Datos. En la medida en que nuestra capacidad para generar, almacenar y procesar bastas cantidad…

Nobel Prize-winning economist Herbert Simon famously described the “poverty of attention” that accompanies an overabundance of information. This concept certainly applies to today’s Big Data era. As our capacity to generate, store, and process vast amounts of data increases, we need new techniques to derive reliable and actionable insights from…
