Media And Communication

Natural sciences and technologies place artificial intelligence, robotics and cyborgs at the centre of human attention. However, virtual and augmented reality and the unthinkable possibilities of the future media and communication between individuals and social groups might be deeper and broader than we think, and evolve in forms we have not hoped for. If philosophy wants to focus on the essence of scientific-technical age, it must reflect on the very foundations of computer-operational thinking, because artificial intelligence has already started to develop its own consciousness and may, in the future, devise a strategy of development beyond man and without man.

Meta Analyses

Background: The application of virtual and augmented reality technologies to orthopaedic surgery training and practice aims to increase the safety and accuracy of procedures and reducing complications and costs. The purpose of this systematic review is to summarise the present literature on this topic while providing a detailed analysis of current flaws and benefits. Methods: A comprehensive search on the PubMed, Cochrane, CINAHL, and Embase database was conducted from inception to February 2021. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were used to improve the reporting of the review. The Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool and the Methodological Index for Non-Randomized Studies (MINORS) was used to assess the quality and potential bias of the included randomized and non-randomized control trials, respectively. Results: Virtual reality has been proven revolutionary for both resident training and preoperative planning. Thanks to augmented reality, orthopaedic surgeons could carry out procedures faster and more accurately, improving overall safety. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a promising technology with limitless potential, but, nowadays, its use in orthopaedic surgery is limited to preoperative diagnosis. Conclusions: Extended reality technologies have the potential to reform orthopaedic training and practice, providing an opportunity for unidirectional growth towards a patient-centred approach.

Digital Landscape

Changes in the global digital landscape over the past decade or so have transformed many aspects of society, including how people communicate, socialize, and organize. These transformations have also reconfigured how companies conduct their businesses and altered how states think about security and interact with their citizens. Glancing into the future, there is good reason to believe that nascent technologies such as augmented reality will continue to change how people connect, blurring the lines between our online and offline worlds. Recent breakthroughs in the field of artificial intelligence will also have a profound impact on many aspects of our lives, ranging from the mundane—chat bots as convenient, always available customer support—to the disruptive—replacing medical doctors with automated diagnosis tools....

In this chapter, the authors discuss a unique technology known as the Sixth Sense Technology, highlighting the future opportunities of such technology in integrating the digital world with the real world. Challenges in implementing such technologies are also discussed along with a review of the different possible implementation approaches. This review is performed by exploring the different inventions in areas similar to the Sixth Sense Technology, namely augmented reality (AR), computer vision, image processing, gesture recognition, and artificial intelligence and then categorizing and comparing between them. Lastly, recommendations are discussed for improving such a unique technology that has the potential to create a new trend in human-computer interaction (HCI) in the coming years.

Marxist Approach

With the increasing role of technological agents in contemporary society, questions surrounding the future of socio-economic organization are intensely debated. A variety of predictions have been made, ranging from conservative views that emphasize the gradual integration of techno-actors into human social collectives to radical outlooks that assume the inevitability of a dramatic historic break. This study employs the method of simulation, exploring the on-going path towards automation with the help of classical Marxism. It seeks to understand whether robots and artificial intelligence (AI) might become new value producers and a revolutionary social class. As demonstrated, the continuity of capitalist relationships may facilitate the formation of new social groups and recast class-based political agendas.

The chapter presents how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is combining with Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality. The evolution of AI is discussed, as well as its consequences. The chapter also provides an overview of the four types of intelligence in AI, and provides positive and negative impacts for society. The discussion on positive and negative effects of AI brings to light how it can help humans, but at the same time, how it can also transform society and firms. The rise of hybrid humans may be a turning point to develop a new global order, with new laws, justice, rights, and duties.

Computer Interaction

Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and other such immersive environments have gained popularity with the increase in technological trends in the past decade. As they became widely used, the human computer interface design and the designing criteria emerges as a challenging task. Virtual and Augmented Reality provide a wide range of applications ranging from a primitive level like improving learning, education experiences to complex industrial and medical operations. Virtual reality is a viable alternative that can be focussed on, in the future interface design development because it can remove existing generic and complex physical interfaces and replace them with an alternative sensory relayed input form. It provides a natural and efficient mode of interaction, that the users can work with.Virtual and Augmented reality eradicates the need for development of different acceptable standards for user interfaces as it can provide a whole and generic interface to accommodate the work setting.In this paper, we investigated various prospects of applications for user interaction in Virtual and Augemnted realities and the limitations in the respective domains. The paper provides an outline on how the new era of human computer interaction leading to cognition-based communications, and how Virtual and Augmented realities can tailor the user needs and address the future demands which replaces the need for command-based interaction between the humans and computers.
