Ours included look at us. And our private lives as well soon we can have instant access to information in every day exhibit and well be able to create a Digital Worlds only limited by imagination how will the changes while well try to find some answers as we dive into digital realities in this weeks edition of meet im Christopher Kober great to have you along technology is meant to simplify and improve our lives and that goes beyond the ability to store thousands of songs on a smartphone even work environments that until now have remained mostly hands on are being hit by the digital revolution take repairs on a high voltage electrical substation for example up to now trained professionals needed years of experience and a pair of steady hands to work on one but if something went tragically wrong could a pair of v r goggles now help even your i to save the day heres more from my colleague ben fizzling. Which one the orange wires or the green yellow. Card. And. If only i were equipped like sealing the electrician of tomorrow walking p. C. Downturn holograms showing whats what. Instead of these back breakers a whole bring binder for every cabinet just to work out which wire is which. Allowed these round for years yeah thats how you got your biceps pretty much. He only got the glasses yesterday and can already work hands free at this electrical substation in auto but its actually quite easy. How do you open a menu. Doing this. And to select something by clicking like this. Its pretty cool. Thats what i thought hes in charge of testing to haul the lens at the utility but its packed full of cameras and sensors which out the battery in a couple hours and add weight. So. The device weighs a good kilo. When youve got that much weight on the top of your head it changes your posture. We have to take that into account. Were also checking out the Occupational Health implications how long can a worker wear a pair of piece. Of. Theres also motion sickness to think about and the hollow lens costs a dizzying five thousand euros once rolled out he argues it will save time and money. The software for the glasses is developed by this tiny team of programmers at z. Reality and nearby kaiserslautern they say theyre also the first to create platforms in which companies can present their products to customers half a world away. The startup c. E. O. Shows me around one of these virtual showrooms so you can see every detail moving close every screw and the proportions adjust accordingly amazing you can see everything. Engineers use it to see whether a machine functions whether the design is right or if something has to be changed and its also used to trade fairs or anywhere to present machines that are bulky and difficult to transport. Because sort of savings are you talking about. As the cost in these industriously means you make by reviewing a Machine Design created this way can add up to a six figure sum because you dont have to build a prototype anymore. To get dramatically improves communications and the design team that saves a lot. And Many Companies have numerous Development Centers that communicate with each other online and see them listen so you can see the travel costs as the engineers can meet on these platforms and work on the machines together the machine for in order to get the go go is always going to be this big discipline that the glasses will get smaller but there is speculation that apple will release a new pair in twenty twenty that display information and look more like sun glasses that will make the devices lighter and wearable for longer periods it is not about doing away with the glasses altogether but here the goal is to create actual holograms at the moment there are tiny prototypes that function like a projector but the technology hasnt come that far yet itll be another decade on is if they will come with you. He says the immediate challenge is using Artificial Intelligence like avatars that sell the products on these platforms controlled by computers not us but i will be ready for that i asked a guy whos been dealing with ai for twenty years. The second highest both overrated and under rated theres a lack of imagination on the one hand we havent grasped all the possibilities there are so many on the other hand the expectation is being discussed the truth lies somewhere in between unfortunately German Companies in particular are lacking we have to get them up to speed they really need Artificial Intelligence the question isnt whether i want a i think its how i approach it and when its a game changer that will not only alter the corporate world but also life and politics its going to change everything. Thats a lot to get my head around so now im just going to take a ride through the world of Virtual Reality destination unknown. So not only can a pair of glasses tell you which cable to cut in order to prevent disaster they can also take you on the ride of your life and thats only the beginning heres a little guide through the jungle of extended reality. Virtual reality. Man set up reality. Mixed reality extended reality confused what is all this stuff. You can recognize Virtual Reality from the wrap around headset that means youre looking at a completely Digital World three hundred sixty degree nothing is real everything is created in the computer all the visuals and sounds with me are for example you can check out a new car virtually from top to bottom or head off to a distinct country the u. N. Is using p. R. To try to make the real world a better place that encourages donations to refugee projects by putting users in a virtual camp seeing this rule through the eyes of a child stories empathy makes you reach for your wallet. Augmented reality is the Computer Generated extension of reality its used primarily via smartphones and tablets. That expands reality by putting virtual layers to. One popular application in the field is poke a mongo in the game digital creatures are added to a real setting in real time. But also for example help customers choose new furniture by letting you place the furniture virtually in a desired space flip the single swipe the thing is users cant directly interact with these digitally generated objects thats where mixed reality comes in its made possible with a new generation of headsets for example a manager at a supermarket to gain an overview of all the stock in a store that gives the manager real time information on which products will soon pass their sell by date which are out of stock and which arent moving well they can then be put on special straight away. And finally you might have heard of extended reality but thats actually just a general. Term for virtual augmented and mixed realities it simply denotes a world where the boundaries between real and digital disappear. Despite all the Technological Progress most of us still harbor a fondness for things quaint and obsolete and the trend is especially noticeable among young people some will spend hundreds of euros for eight nine hundred sixty s. Armchair even if its a replica whereas that love for the past coming from is a response to the hectic pace of innovation and change our reporter mr schmidt went to hamburg to find out. Fashions first flappers from the one nine hundred twenty s. Everything from that period fascinates linda marcia. Growing number of stores like this one in hamburg offer vintage originals or clothes made to look retro for fans of bygone styles. One. For me its all about what i enjoy i take pleasure in the design the music dance of the feel of that period. Im also a child of the president or. Been kinda hard to entice a lose of course i identify with things that are going on around me but this is a kind of pleasant getaway. I think that people in our fast paced time want something that lasts they want the past. That side life in the one nine hundred twenty s. Was very different and today we look back to the lively charm of that period yeah sure and even the sense of living on the edge and the tempestuous wild feeling. Temperament followed on video. And original Cash Register from one nine hundred twenty nine gets the Shopping Experience and authentic touch. This company was founded in one thousand nine hundred seventy two in the digital age notebooks may seem a bit dated but business has taken off sales have risen by twenty five percent in the past five years in part thanks to made to order items the nostalgic notebooks are hits from south korea to north america. Its not as if were being cannibalized by stages allies ation on the contrary the age of digital. Zation theres a growing interest in digital behavior that makes you more conscious when you right now im sitting down and writing a letter now im writing this note in my notebook you do those things with awareness you dont just hack away at your keyboard i think thats changed with the subsidies for. Big Companies Like b. M. W. Are also jumping on the retro bandwagon models based on one nine hundred sixty s. And seventys designs are among the german manufacturers best selling motorcycles worldwide. Other retro items that can cost nearly as much as a motorcycle are pieces of mid Twentieth Century furniture. This sideboard sells for ten thousand euros customers come from all over the world design weve all seen furniture in the sixtys and seventys was built differently the quality is better the glowing techniques were different the pieces were joined different life people bought furniture to last the new roof even. Going to be easy to see and theres a huge retro scene and you get snow if you have an affinity for this kind of thing everyone knows someone who made that bound in principle you could go i should find something every evening often to name. The fascination with things retro seems to be firmly at home in the present and that includes the new style chick sound in some of hamburgs clubs. So there are plenty of products out there that remain fascinating and charming even if they lack a u. S. B. Port sure digital is slick and cool but it isnt always necessarily better heres a little song of praise for those very analog the lights. Hanging on the telephone chattering without and wasting time on socalled social media but theres a real world out that. An egg for breakfast savor the texture the aroma still the hunger. It feels good doesnt it. Coffee and a quest song nothing virtual about that. Apps cant be delicious at least not yet. Robots dont cuddle all play. At the office there are documents to read paper documents. People to chat with living breathing humans. A Business Partner hasnt answered an email its time to call her and talk to her in real time. She says its come both day. The company manufactures car seats for bodies to settle on germany exported two point eight million cars a one thousand nine hundred ninety seven last year the number was four point three million lots of metal and plastic a whole lot of analog reality. Time to go home the first of a car wash for spraying them brushing and polishing is refreshing the physical. Talking about physical time to freshen up. And get physical. Well businesses that are looking for suitable candidates to fill a job position still mostly use Old Fashioned methods to find them and the department in charge is called Human Resources but the old Job Interview model is also changing as my colleague discovered in this weeks face to face. Because im applying for a management job at the talents Insurance Company theyve sent me a telephone number and a pin. Its probably the direct line to the boss ive been told its going to be a very special interview now to enter the number. To make the process easier were going to ask you a few questions in the computerised interview please tell us in depth about a recent positive experience private or professional. Causative my most recent positive private experience a visit to a riding stable with my daughter when we were on holiday. But when i thought i was intruding on Police Describe a typical sunday again we go to the playground please describe when where and how you can best relax. The interview lasted fifteen minutes. Kind of what. The Person Software broke my answers down into seven hundred thousand data sets and created a profile thank you recorded your responses and our analysis will follow soon. Things openly so do i get the job am i the right person is the profile ready im going to ask the head of Human Resources. Skip the question of whether your answers were right or not even if the results are instantly available we think its very important that an expert a psychologist look at them and hold a feedback interview with you. Don only then do i get the information so no i dont have the results. Or if that means i didnt get the job and i understand thats not true there are many factors involved in deciding whether you get a job or not first theres the question of whether you want to be in management or whether you need a completely different kind of individual freedom. I take it youve done the test. I want to know why im still here. Would you give yourself a job on the basis of your interview and description of a perfect sunday. As if thats just me into the sun to flog me thats an interesting question. Anyone whos in a job that they would hire themselves for a theyre going to say course. We learned each one of us is that were all very different. We also learn and ive been in this position. And worked beforehand. We learned that were capable of doing a steady job look at this even if we are below average in some areas. Do i have to make sure that i use positive words and avoid negative ones. Question is how does the algorithm work the cool thing is that Artificial Intelligence recognizes personality structures using toggle right on us as far as this is possible. And it isnt possible to identify all of them because for example they examine when someone pauses. And we all make small pauses sometimes even between letters. The algorithm analyzes the results from perhaps hundreds of different points of view and then compares them with the diagnostics underlying aptitude tests to establish results of the language behavior tests but if i knew how the whole process and the evaluation worked could i train myself to be the perfect applicant and perfect that with. If you couldnt languages something that you already perceive in the womb you cant alternately change your basic behavior if youre talking off the cuff reason if and why do you do that why do you use that tool. For him. In the past we used to use an Assessment Center it found out there was something that could replace individual assessment we were enthusiastic first of all its less time consuming scheduling interview appointments is very difficult second we find this process extremely objective and woman big small young the moment a computer carries out the analysis all of that stops playing a role. Now in case youre wondering how he often did in his interview with the algorithm well he received a very personal indepth analysis of his performance also by phone and it showed hes not exactly what the company is looking for in a manager so hell remain part of the may team lucky for us. Are you also sick of trying to shop for the perfect pair of pants but cant find anyone in the store to help you soon virtual shopping assistants could do away with the hassle theyre meant to learn what customers want and maybe even persuade them to want more mates mounted on his or went to see where stores are taking extended reality next. To the starting line i might shopping and i see something strange. I cant believe my eyes im walking behind this thing. Is. This thing going first to show me around the store or. Clathrate i go first and you follow me. The virtual bird is my digital shopping assistant it doesnt know much yet but it learns quickly soon itll recognize customers and their preferences its about to realize im not interested in how i thought appliances today stop so how do you clean or are he serious presenting the dyson connecticut big ball vacuum cleaner. Maybe in the future youll walk into a store and we already know what youve come for if the customer wants us to we could offer targeted products like maybe ones you dont know yet but would like to. Know so that you like the vacuum cleaner. I wonder about who programs the digital assistant to decide what the customer gets recommended. At one point as Customer Service become product marketing. Were trying a lot of different things. To introduce new products and even special offers we just have to see what works best with the customers. Investment paid by companies. I wouldnt rule it out but the focus is on making things easier for the customers and for the stuff or think of. The future lies in the hands of the programmers. In the supermarket is how and when i spend my money can still be completely anonymous i can pay in cash to a real person but technology. Has much more to offer. To find out what lets take a look at the supermarket of the future im at the German Research center for Artificial Intelligence. The food in here is made of plastic a sensor determines if everythings in the right place the customer receives additional information. A practice run with the head of research spend gathering. I take a look at the smart meat counter which can tell when im pointing us. With a camera hanging over the counter recognizes the position of your arm or calculates the extension of you are meant to the counter. Because the system knows ahead of time or learned in the counter the product or they can easily figure out what youre pointing up with. The shopping cart keeps track of whats in a of course we can make it cost free payment for an app. The system even thanks me as i leave. The good to two over here at a car showroom its all about the our experience. It sure feels like a real car. You can certainly sell or at least offer the customer a lot more extras with this system and. Its a money factor as a pilot project. Virtual reality could soon be Standard Practice when buying a car just in the soul i just have one problem the headset makes me dizzy saw its my thats enough for now and never thought id be so sensitive. I also get dizzy when i see how huge it is light station has changed our lives on shopping is just the tip of the iceberg.
