own speed and learning and seeing new things, so you know, it s different. it s still new. even after 18 years, it s still new, and it will beat a flat screen hands down. tell me a little bit about the business here in edinburgh. the business has been around for about 19 years now in fact, we call it the largest start up in edinburgh. so, these are all over the world with organisations trying to share with their audience stories about their brand or their product. because it s so engaging, because it s so interactive, it s a great communication tool. thereafter, it s definitely visitor attractions museums, planetariums, oceanariums, art galleries. you ll see these all over the world. they cost anything from £30,000 to £250,000. describe to me what i m seeing. yes. so, in the heart of this system, we ve got a very powerful projector. that s shining a light through this fisheye lens that s taking the light and bending it and filling the entire sphere. the other aspect to it, as you
microsoft has made another attempt to take over activision blizzard, the maker of video game call of duty. the new proposal was made after the original deal was blocked by uk regulators. the uk competition and markets authority says they will review the deal but says that is not a green light. india s space agency has become the first to land a spacecraft near the south pole of the moon. the vikram lander successfully touched down on wednesday. the rover will be searching the surface for water based ice, which scientists say could support human life on the moon. without this, the world would not be able to move forward with its plans to put a moon base and colonies on the moon. this is going to provide invaluable data on which to take those next steps. a pilot cargo ship that aims to reduce the shipping industry s carbon footprint has made its maiden voyage.
the moral of the piece. what i need you to picture is this. you are a light in the darkness. a firefly. a glowing pinpoint. you are not alone. you cannot be alone. so, the ai ends up telling us how to be human? basically, yes, yeah. sighs mmm. if you find something in your eye near the end of the performance, you re not the only one, let me just tell you that. with hope, a misstep and a connection, this story finally begins. applause and that s it from us from the edinburgh fringe festival 2023. it s been a joy to be back. i hope you ve enjoyed our coverage, too. thanks so much for watching and we will see you soon.
two, three, four infrared leds. what they re doing is they re bathing the inside of the globe with infrared light. combined with this infrared camera, we can see all the infrared light movements inside the globe. what that means is that when someone comes along with a finger and they touch the edge of the globe, it can detect that touch. the projector inside the sphere uses a powerful computer and works with an algorithm to generate the moving images. an app is used to load different content onto the spheres. each app is built in the pufferfish lab. we can load any number of apps onto here. i mean, some of the apps could be about data visualisation. they don t even have to be about the world. they could be about the universe, the solar system. it could actuallyjust be abstract completely. so, we can load any number of apps onto here. could you show me something else? so, this particular application is showing the ipcc data climate report from 2021. we ve taken the tables of data and so
traditionally, there wouldn t be a loudspeaker system. - when massed pipes and drums are playing - there s 280 of them it s pretty loud. - but then there s other parts where there s 60 musiciansj and it s not loud enough. so ourjob is to make sure that it should sound a little bit - quieter than 280 musicians, but you should still be able i to really enjoy the sound of something like that, i | and to amplify that to the point where it sounds like it s coming from a speaker means we ve gone too far~ drumming and chanting of course, the show is also a big logistical challenge. we can t do much with physical sets because we have nowhere to store them it s a very tight space so we basically craft the look and feel of the show through sound and light. the show is described visually and sonically through the equipment we re using. obviously, what s critical is that we re telling a story. it s not just about technology,
