SD Times news digest: New report finds that Hologram AR is the new trend for of automobile releases, Graphcore raises $222 million in Series E Funding Round to advance AI

A new report found that Hologram AR leads the new trend and new application scenarios of automobile releases. Car makers have shifted to using augmented reality technology to introduce new car models in far greater numbers than before, according to the market research company Flipclutch.

In the car-unveiling events online, users logged in to the official website to watch the live event and were able to see detailed versions of the car in actual size using virtual reality.

Due to this demand, Hologram AR provider WiMi launched the “Holographic Academy of Science” to research the cutting-edge technology of holographic AR.

This form of virtual reality technology uses the principles of interference and diffraction to record and reproduce real 3Dl images of objects. Observers can see the different angles of the object being photographed.

“The range of applications of holographic projection includes automotive conferences, product exhibitions, stage programs, interaction, bar entertainment, and interactive projection. With the advancement of technology, holographic projection technology will continue to develop,” Flipclutch wrote in a post.

Graphcore raises $222 million in Series E Funding Round to advance AI
Graphcore announced that it will use the funding to support the company’s global expansion to further future IPU silicon, systems, and software development.

The company currently makes the Intelligence Processing Unit (IPU) which is a new type of microprocessor specifically designed to support artificial intelligence workloads.

The IPU-M2000 is a 1U data center blade, built around four Graphcore Colossus GC200 IPU processors, capable of one PetaFlop of AI compute. Graphcore also offers the IPU-POD64 which is able to run large models across up to 64 IPU processors in parallel.

“We have created a technology that dramatically outperforms legacy processors such as GPUs, a powerful set of software tools that are tailored to the needs of AI developers, and a global sales operation that is bringing our products to market,” said Nigel Toon, the CEO of Graphcore.

Difference between Web Designer and Web Developer Neeraj Mishra The Crazy Programmer

Have you ever wondered about the distinctions between web developers’ and web designers’ duties and obligations? You’re not alone! Many people have trouble distinguishing between these two. Although they collaborate to publish new websites on the internet, web developers and web designers play very different roles. To put these job possibilities into perspective, consider the construction of a house. To create a vision for the house, including the visual components, the space planning and layout, the materials, and the overall appearance and sense of the space, you need an architect. That said, to translate an idea into a building, you need construction professionals to take those architectural drawings and put them into practice. Image Source In a similar vein, web development and design work together to create websites. Let’s examine the major responsibilities and distinctions between web developers and web designers. Let’s get going, shall we? What Does a Web Designer Do?

2022: The year of hybrid work

Remote work was once considered a luxury to many, but in 2020, it became a necessity for a large portion of the workforce, as the scary and unknown COVID-19 virus sickened and even took the lives of so many people around the world.  Some workers were able to thrive in a remote setting, while others felt isolated and struggled to keep up a balance between their work and home lives. Last year saw the availability of life-saving vaccines, so companies were able to start having the conversation about what to do next. Should they keep everyone remote? Should they go back to working in the office full time? Or should they do something in between? Enter hybrid work, which offers a mix of the two. A Fall 2021 study conducted by Google revealed that over 75% of survey respondents expect hybrid work to become a standard practice within their organization within the next three years.  Thus, two years after the world abruptly shifted to widespread adoption of remote work, we are declaring 20
