Apparently , Reliance Juggernaut seems unstoppable
A year ago, it was Jio
GigaFibre Broadband delivering
internet at Gigabit speed
A month ago, it was JioMeet
( Video Conferencing ) for 100 people – and FREE
Today , it is JioGlass mixed-reality headsets for HOLOGRAPHIC video-conferencing for business and education
Here are the details :
Extract :
Jio Glass comes with a cable that can
be attached to the phone to connect to the internet.
The mixed reality headsets weigh 75
grams. Visually, the device seems like a normal pair of sunglasses but comes
with sensors and necessary hardware for a mixed reality immersive experience.
The glasses also come with a cable that
can be used to connect the device with a smartphone. It amplifies existing apps
that are compatible with the headset to provide 3D and 2D experience.
Currently, it is compatible with over 25 apps in various genres including
entertainment.
The device is fitted with a personalized
audio system which works without any additional accessories. The glasses are
equipped with a high-resolution display, Jio said.
The glasses can be used to conduct holographic video calls. The
company highlighted two use cases of the glasses in its demo at the AGM- virtual
meetings and education.
JioGlass can be used to conduct video
meetings in 3D. A user can activate the device using a voice
command such as “Hello Jio Please call X and Y.”
The receiver can choose to attend the meeting
in 3D with a 3D avatar or opt for a 2D video call.
Meeting participants can view and share
presentations during video calls along with 3D assets and holograms.
Another major use case for the device is education.
“ The Covid-19 pandemics has prompted one
of the most important applications in the immersive space which is education “ ,
Kiran Thomas President, RIL.
The glasses can be used to enable virtual
classrooms where educators can conduct holographic classes through
Jio mixed reality cloud in real-time.
=========================================================
Now, the idea of conducting Holographic meetings has
been around for quite some time.
In fact, PM Shri Modiji held some Holographic
election rallies during his 2015 election campaign.
But it was one-way /
uni-directional projection, requiring some heavy and very expensive hardware,
mounted on trucks
To make this technology “ Two Way “ and make it cheap
enough for the masses, mobile phone make RED tried to introduce a “ so called “
holographic phone Hydrogen, some 3 years ago . Did not work out ( besides
costing $ 1300 in USA )
Then, a few years ago, Google introduced Google Glass , with following
feature ( as described on its web site ) :
Collaborate in real-time
Glass
can connect you with
coworkers in an instant, bringing expertise to right where you
are. Invite others to “see what you see” through a live video stream so you can
collaborate and troubleshoot in real-time.
Improve accuracy
Access training videos, images annotated with instructions, or quality
assurance checklists that help you get the job done, safely, quickly and to a
higher standard
Stay focused
Glass intuitively fits into your workflow
and helps you remain engaged and focused on high value work by removing
distractions. Using voice commands, you can activate the right application for you at any
time.
But, for some reason, Google did not /
could not find many takers for Google Glass
But with 7.7 % holding in Jio, Google will
pass-on its technology to Jio Glass
FOLLOWING
ARE SOME OF MY THOUGHTS ON HOW JIO GLASS CAN DIGITIZE INDIA AND EMPOWER MILLIONS OF ( CURRENT AND
FUTURE ) JOBLESS YOUTH TO BECOME “ SELF
EMPLOYED “ :

And no way for Mr Trump to stop them !
Dear Narendrabhai :
You do not need any convincing re
this “ GAME CHANGING “ concept since you pioneered it yourself by
addressing 800 election rallies through your own holographic
projection during 2014 election !

Extract :
I have tremendous faith in the abilities of our IT guys , who
have made India , a SOFTWARE
SUPER-POWER
Sixteen years ago , they saved the World Economy from a virtual
collapse on the midnight of 31 Dec 1999 ( as news from around the World
flashed on TV screens , saying , “ Thanks to Indian geeks , no planes have been
reported to be falling off the skies !” )
If only the NDA government gets out of their way , our IT guys
will , this time around , “ SAVE
INDIA “ ( even as they “ MAKE
FROM INDIA “ )
=========================================================
IDEA WHOSE TIME HAS
COME ? …………………………………………………………( 16
Feb 2017 )
Extract :
The writing is on the Wall ! On a VIRTUAL WALL !
I once again urge our Policy Makers to
appreciate that the way out of,
· Slowing down of economies of most
countries of the World,
· De-globalization / Protectionism / Desire to get out of WTO
obligations
· Resistance by local citizens of the
developed countries to “ Economic
Migrants “
from poor countries ( including building of Walls )
· Addition of 12 million youth to our “ Working-Age “ population per
year
· Slowing down of our GDP growth due to
demonetization ( Jobless
Growth ?
)
· And , lastly the hanging sword of
drastic reduction in H1B visas …etc ,
- is to turn India into ,
BackFactory of the World ?

Seeing things:
Augmented reality
Virtual- or
augmented-reality headsets aren't just for gamers, Minnett says. They could
actually be used at work.
A device, like
Google Glass or Microsoft’s HoloLens headset, could overlay digital images onto
the real world.
AN
EMPTY OFFICE COULD BECOME A CONFERENCE SPACE, WHERE PEOPLE IN DIFFERENT
PHYSICAL LOCATIONS CAN WRITE ON DIGITAL WHITEBOARDS OR EXAMINE VIRTUALLY
REPRODUCED PRODUCTS.
Speak to me:
Real-time translation
Here’s one that
isn’t ready for prime-time just yet:
real-time language translation for video
conferencing.
While advances are being made, the technology to converse
smoothly with a non-native speaker remains elusive for now, REA’s Dalton said.
“That will change the world,” he said.
Faster than a
speeding bullet: 5G
The next evolution
of mobile networks, known as 5G, is expected to
roll out in the next few years and could do much more than
just make it easier to work from home.

BACK FACTORY OF
THE WORLD ? ………………………………………………………..( 09 Sept 2015 )
Extract :
Can India become the " Back Factory " of the World ?
Wrong question !
Right question is : WHEN can we become the " Back Factory
" of the World ?
Answer is " hiding in plain sight " !
So , WHEN can our scientists - and software Start Ups - enable
Indian workers , sitting in Hyderabad / Chennai etc , to operate / manipulate ,
machinery in factories of Europe / America / China ?
I believe this can become a reality by 2020 , if
Central Government and State Governments , just get out of the way of our
scientists / Start Ups and leave them alone !
Then tell them :
" You are our next generation of Freedom Fighters . Free
our millions from
poverty / starvation / jobless depression / ignominy / suicides
Like war - ravaged people of North Africa , Indians cannot
invade Europe / Australia / Canada , in search of jobs / better life
We depend upon you to bring the jobs to India - jobs such as ,
* Operating Machinery in Factories abroad
* Controlling Air Traffic at Airports around
the World
* Operating upon patients in Hospitals , all
over
* Teaching students in Schools , in remote
Africa
* Any job that currently requires immediate
presence of a worker

A
WELCOME INITIATIVE …………………………………………………………………………… 08 April 2018
]
Extract :
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has mooted a
concept of open architecture-based public Wi-Fi grid to bring down the
cost of internet by 90 per cent.
By doing so, it will allow small entrepreneurs such as tea
stalls, grocery shops
and vendors to set up and maintain access points. Device manufacturers, payment
companies, ISPs / telcos and consumer internet companies can provide the
remaining pieces to set up public data offices (PDOs), it said on Thursday.
The regulator’s concept
involves PDOs — much like PCOs of yester-years that galvanized connectivity.
The PDOs will be companies, or even small
merchants, interested in
providing Wi-Fi hotspots to public either free or on payment model, it
said.
According to the report, the products available for consumption
should begin from ‘sachet sized’, that is, low denomination, as low as ₹2.
It said users should be able to easily discover the network, do
one-click authentication and payment and connect their devices in Wi-Fi
hotspots.
“ The experience for small entrepreneurs to purchase, self-register, set up a PDO must be
simple, low touch and maintenance free,” it said.

INDIA BPO PROMOTION SCHEME ………………………….……………………………………[
11 April 2018 ]
Extract :
I am sure , in any
given ONE square km of a small
town , there are 50 unemployed -
and quite possibly , GRADUATE - youngsters , who would be more than happy to
" work from home "
They will be happy to set aside , in their homes , a 5
feet by 5 feet space , as a " Home
Work Station "
Now , that subsidy of " Rs
1 lakh per seat " that the IT Ministry has promised , is quite
sufficient to set up a :
VIRTUAL CALL CENTER ,
by connecting those 50 youngsters through a , VPN ( VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORK )
And since these youngsters are working from their homes , they
can be asked to work in 3 shifts of 8
hours each , providing " Round
the Clock " service to customers !

unique IP Addresses ,
under IP V 6.0 ( including for
that packet of food we eat and that bottle of water we drink ! ) – that is
10 BILLION IP addresses for each hair on our bodies !
We will be “
Watched / Measured / Imaged / Listened to / Analysed / Administered / Governed
“ , every second of our lives ( - and no one will even ask for any permission !
)
Anyone wearing an AR / VR device ( which will be everyone ! ) ,
will know who we are and what we are doing , at ANY MOMENT !
The
Omnipresent CLOUD will tell us , what we should NEED and what we should DESIRE and
where we should TRAVEL and
what we should SEE ! May be ,
even how long we should LIVE !

ORGANIZING
THE UNORGANIZED …………………………………………………………………[ 04 Feb 2019 ]
Extract :
There are around 15,000 skill training centres
in the country right now, which are
inadequate for India’s
size
We
need to train at least 2 crore people every year, but right now we’re
training only 1.05
crore. We need to double our
capacity
At Rs 3 cr / centre , we need Rs 45,000 cr to construct additional 15,000 centres , to be
able to train 2 cr youth / year . It will take years to construct these
centres , even if the
required funds were available ( - which
is not ! )
To bypass both of these limitations , I suggest :
# Transform millions of MSME into “ Skill Training Centres “
# Deliver
online Training Courses for development of various skills through the
Computer
provided by the Labor Ministry for implementation of MaanDhan
FREE
to MSME by this Ministry ) . These can be used not only by the apprentices
but
also by the MSME’s own workers

How will tie-up with Google help
JioGlass to accelerate its adoption ?
Here is one reason :

You Can’t Escape Google? You Haven’t Seen Anything Yet / 12

Extract :
Ø
Basically, Google wants to make Flutter
the gateway to building the digital interface of the
world itself
Ø
The most profound technologies are
those that disappear. They weave themselves into the fabric of everyday life until they are indistinguishable from it.”
Ø
A digital world connected by wireless
frequencies, tracking and reacting to our needs, and answering
our queries through conversation rather than graphic interface.
Ø
she demoed a concept, which showed users
their biometric response to environments filled with different scents, colors,
and furnishings.
Ø
That’s where Google wants Flutter to go
next. Your company’s app can live on a TV screen,
or a refrigerator, or a projection on the sidewalk, if it adopts Flutter.
Ø
The news of today is that
Google is repositioning an open source technology it developed called Flutter
to have a bigger scope. It’s a software development kit that allows designers
to build an app UI just once, and then use that UI on platforms like Android,
iOS, or the web without needing to rebuild it or recode it.
