How possible is it for users to have haptic gloves for typing instead of using controllers? I remain positive on VR productivity tools in future but think we have to get flexible and creative on hardware. Personally, I would love to have collaborative meetings with my colleagues worldwide, even just to demo my modelling ideas on a whiteboard which I think would be tremendously helpful (I believe FB keynote last year also voiced the same sentiment). I fully agree with the hardware limitations at the moment but certainly don't think investment and work now is a waste of time. To push this area forward, we also need to find compelling experiences that are unique to VR, like remote presentation rehearsal, collaborative white board brainstorming sessions for 3D design etc. Wearing a VR headset to work 8 to 10 hours straight is not the answer I look forward to, at least not for now. What VR is strong about to me todate are: minimising limitations resulted from physical distances and fading memories of past experience, as well as its ability to create limitless imaginary worlds, boosting multi-dimensional communication.
I too feel I couldn't pass the $190m cost in the first place. Granted, I can see where the cost ramps up as explained by @morei. Could someone explain whether this is for the 10-year contract or a license of some sort for each year?
If it is annually, they got 17m tickets over 7 years so for 10 years, assuming they issue just over 19m tickets, that means each parking ticket needs to be at least $10 to cover the cost, even at $100 per ticket, IBM is banking on 10% share? That seems excessive to me but I never worked in government so could someone enlighten me on this?
By any chance there's a conflict of interest for government to be willing to make improvement and cut down parking tickets or any other similar source of income? Or maybe that's what public audit is for?
I'm half way through Google's crash course on ML which I think is helpful. As a machine learning field guide, I also find Andrew Ng's short paper series Machine Learning Yearning helpful. I watched the first FB video and didn't feel like they added anything particularly interesting. It's almost like they feel obliged to put something out there under the FB name.
