The Russian company "Yandex" announced that it has launched a huge update to its electronic browser, which brings with it important features based on artificial intelligence technologies.
According to the "iPhones.ru" website, the company's experts have integrated YandexGPT technologies into the Yandex browser, and the artificial intelligence in these technologies provides users with many services and features, as it can write comments and messages, and it can also be relied upon to edit texts, and check spelling and linguistic errors while typing. Texts and emails.
Thanks to YandexGPT technologies, the YouTube video translator via the browser is now able to translate video clips from Korean and Japanese into Russian, and show the translations written in the clips.
With the new update, Yandex browser users can also benefit from YandexART technologies that rely on artificial intelligence, which can draw any image according to the user’s desires.
The new update to the browser also brought many useful features, such as scanning QR codes while playing video clips. It also provided many features that protect users from online fraud, and the browser also became faster in terms of performance.
"Social absence" An important warning about the effects of using Vision Pro on our perception
Apple's launch of the revolutionary Vision Pro virtual reality glasses sparked great controversy around the world due to its amazing features, prompting researchers to explore the effect of long-term use on our cognitive functions.
A team of 11 researchers at Stanford University and the University of Michigan took turns wearing several smart head accessories, including the Vision Pro, Quest Pro, Quest 3, Varjo XR-3, and several night vision goggles, with a focus on the Apple version.
Initially, the researchers encountered the difficulty of navigating in public and private spaces while wearing glasses, explaining that objects appear closer or farther than they actually are. They also reported feeling nausea, eye strain, headache and dizziness, or what is known as “mimic sickness.”
Sensory conflict theory, one of the most widely accepted theories about the cause of simulacra disease, explained that users suffer from a mismatch between the visual system, sense of balance, and the body's ability to sense movement or the location of a place or object.
The researchers reported that they had difficulty pressing the elevator button because it seemed too far from their fingers, and they also had difficulty eating.
“Because wearing virtual reality glasses involves seeing the world through a small number of cameras, there is often a discrepancy between the location of the user’s real eyes and the location of the camera screen,” the study said.
But after a few hours of wearing the Vision Pro, the researchers noticed that their brains were adapting to the virtual world, and picking up objects or moving around while wearing the glasses was not difficult.
"Not only can these glasses add things to the real world, they can also delete them," Jeremy Bailenson, the study's lead author and director of the Virtual Human Interaction Lab at Stanford University, told Business Insider.
The research team noticed that their perception of the general surroundings was reversed when they took off the smart glasses, as the real world became distorted for them.
The researchers explained that after wearing glasses for several hours, your brain will adapt to know where your hands reach so that you can grasp things, but when you take off the glasses, your brain will not automatically adapt to normal levels of perception.
Not only did the glasses remove walls and barriers and distort the world around the user, but they also led to delayed responses and a loss of sense of social cues.
Bailenson and his team described this feeling as “social absence,” when people feel physically disconnected from others.
The study authors caution that based on their previous research and reports, people should be cautious about using virtual reality headsets, saying that people should not assume that virtual presence can replace face-to-face interaction.
They said more research needs to be done to understand the long-term effects of wearing Vision Pro glasses.
It is worth noting that the new Apple Glasses are multi-use, suitable for work and entertainment, and support many productivity applications in addition to gaming applications and streaming video content, and display multi-dimensional content directly before your eyes.
