Telling the story

 Well, interesting--Brian Berg and the Asilomar committee (this is the long-standing, e.g. 50th anniversary) microprocessor workshop) are granting me a ten-minute slot in the RATS section tonight.  My theme--"A Picture--Really worth 1,000 words?" is buttressed by a video tape with lots of URL's to other video clips, and it uses both the COPD and the COVID stories as the backdrop for why we've done so much with Virtual Multi-Display environments.  Here's the link for your viewing enjoyment

This is actually a great opportunity.  The AMW workshop is one of the more prestigious events in our industry.  Today's technical talks were amazing--quantum computing made 'clear' and the incredible power hogging of the data centers and what a speciific Nvidia chip burns.   Most cities cannot host a data center of the Google size, and Google cannot hardly cool these systems enough to keep them running.  

I heard a definition of "Big Data" being done for one cancer study-- they had to 'reconfigure' Excel, from 1 million cells to i trillion cells--howze that again?   10 to the 6th, vs 10 to the 12th.   A mere 23 Million rows and 55,000 columns, easily and quickly scanned, according to the speaker!

So what we are showing is a quick overview of AVI capabilities, starting with the focus on what a picture can tell you, especially if using math tools such as Conformal Mapping and Convolution Integrals, not to mentioin AI Deep Dives.   And then, we show comparative pictures for "why multiple pix at once" and then we show the 3D aspects of walking through our environments (with accompanying companions from anywhere), getting to an interactive screen, scanning it and selecting from it to engage a stored video for that person, etc.

Quite the opportunituy!
