WHY SO LATE? "Cedric Garland, professor of family and preventive medicine at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine and colleagues, found that "the serum level associated with a 50 percent reduction in risk [for colon cancer] could be maintained by taking 2,000 international units of vitamin D3 daily. Garland believes the good news is being suppressed." https://lnkd.in/eah8F9p View in LinkedIn

"SYNESTHESIA is defined as the involuntary physical experience of a cross-modal association. In layman's terms, it means that experiencing one sense, simultaneously activates another sense." Electronic smell through the internet, and other sensations. Many possibilities for synesthesia. https://lnkd.in/eT3xjqA View in LinkedIn

SENSE TELEXISTENCE. "We thus need to create fundamentally new forms of media to connect humans in the physical world and through the virtual world, not just in the transmission of information and verbal communication, but through meaning and nonverbal communication to increase the sense of telexistence using all the senses." http://mixedrealitylab.org/ View in LinkedIn

MULTIMODAL SENSING. "I aim to develop new technologies related to multimodal sensing and actuation to give the user more definition in their experience in the co-space environment. Visual, Auditory, Haptic, (Olfactory) Smell, and (Gustatory) Taste are the five sensors that humans use for environmental sensing, and communicating emotional feeling." http://mixedrealitylab.org/ View in LinkedIn

ROBOT HOSTESS. "Electronics manufacturer Toshiba is currently showing off a new android robot at CES in Las Vegas that looks, talks, sings and cries like a Japanese woman, and it's just a bit creepy. ChihiraAico is a humanoid robot made to look like a 32-year-old Japanese hostess. She is a prototype the company is developing to help create "effective communication between humans and non-humans".

HOSTESS WITH THE MOSTEST. "We chose a very realistic appearance and movement, which can be used for the service industry. We plan to extend our technology to an automatic response." https://lnkd.in/eSptrJH View in LinkedIn
