Tesla s acquisition of SolarCity deal won FTC approval in early morning trading

According to foreign media reports, the United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announced on Thursday formally approved the Tesla car deal to buy energy provider SolarCity. The deal was approved so quickly, primarily two companies there is too much overlap in their businesses.

Tesla announced on August 1 this year to offer of SolarCity. Aimed at the latter's solar products to promote new energy management system and related economic benefits.

As the United States's top commercial solar panel suppliers, SolarCity was founded in October 2008 and headquartered in foster city, California. Its business is divided into three main categories: photovoltaic system installation and sales, solar lease, and PPA, as well as energy efficiency upgrade (energy-efficient) service.

Mr MASKEY said the acquisition of SolarCity will make Tesla's transformation into a vertically integrated energy company, to provide customers with end-to-end clean energy products, including solar panels, home energy storage devices and electric vehicles.

Previously, SolarCity for a long period of time because of the low prices of competitors are under financial pressure. And because of some United States States gradually withdrew its subsidies for solar panel installation, which also had a large negative impact on the company's performance.

As of Thursday's close, Tesla's stock price closed $ 220.96, down $ 1.66, about 0.75%.

How to bare handed catch Elves We tried the Pokemon in the VR and MR Go

Lei feng's network by: this article is from micro-posting network of Lei feng. Vans iPhone 6

(Photo: fretting and vulnerable pupil common tried VR and MR Pok é Mon GO)

Day and night you want to hand manipulation of VR and MR Pok é Mon GO, we do it. Pok é Mon is the right way to GO to break the wall.

Pok é Mon GO so AR is combined with hand, streets and even social, is only a few keywords will attract enough people, and then adding the century Pok é Mon IP, did not seem to fire but doesn't make sense. But with a long press on the phone → slide touch-screen operation simulation of "throwing" spirit ball, treasure dream income which you can ... ... Will some slightly stiff and b?

Although country clothing also not open, but China players on Pok é Mon GO of thinking and imagine and many, Pok é Mon GO does with to we many surprise, but players most looks forward to see of not technology most primary of like, but will of and most for of technology performance form phase combined, from plot design and operation way view, VR/MR+ feel control can with to we more cool of experience.

| Easy to open a brain cavity, but true?

We tried VR and MR Pok é Mon GO, Bao dream lifted from the phone screen, you can grab to select Elf ball, in front of treasure dream throw after adjusted point of aim. If you encounter is a fierce and cunning of treasure dream, in order to avoid being brought rhythm, can also throw the circle the most spin Wizard ball, feed, no probably magical dreams can escape from your hands.

| About development tutorial

Believe you and old drivers VR understand really well, we did the demo unlocking catch treasure in addition to trying to help everyone can dream of a new position, also wanted to touch control MR+ techniques forms spread to everyone. Development tutorial, in addition we Vidoo SDK is also available in the official website for free download, developers are eating this expectation in mind conscience would inherit more from Amway.

Hand control:

First of all, through our binocular depth sensor depth images.

In the depth of the image, we modify the RGB values of each pixel is used to calibrate the pixel distance from the sensor. When we look at the depth of image, you will find the effect we are familiar with infrared thermal imaging image similar to, except that we replaced the temperature range.

In the following illustration, a depth on the left image on the right is the original image. Can be seen by observing, closer, more red color; the greater the distance, the color blue.

Secondly, we will meet the characteristics of human hand depth image segmentation of parts, hand gestures, movement recognition.

Here it should be noted that is a gesture recognition algorithm based on depth images instead of the normal image. So that we can obtain depth information for each point of the hand, thus restoring the whole skeletal structure of the hand. If we want to touch interaction with virtual objects, skeletal structure is an indispensable prerequisite.

Finally, our algorithm the sensor coordinate system (spatial information contains hand bones), virtual world coordinate system (spatial information that includes all virtual objects), the real coordinate system (containing environmental information and information in hand) the three coordinate system alignment.

In this way, we can detect the hand bones aligns with real hands; to be aligned with the realities of virtual objects. When real hand touch virtual objects, will have a similar mouse click events to drive the execution of the program, specific to Pok é Mon GO inside, is fed with Elf, threw out the Elves pitch, and so on.

At this point, the hand control part has been completed, and follow-up will further perfect logic of events in Unity3D, Lieutenant completed Pok é Mon GO Elf ball, food thrown to the Elf's features.

Next, we want to do is display space in elements of the game Pok é Mon GO, and Pikachu and smart ball to appear in a reasonable amount of space within. iPhone Vans

We use video technology, through binocular cameras real-time you can see "real" world and digital, and then through a computer algorithm for real-time rendering images. Done both full overlay virtual images can also be seen after a computer-rendered new "real scenes", to meet our demand for virtual objects and real environment there.

 

After solving the core interaction and display technologies, joining the corresponding SDK in Unity3D, adjustment process logic. MR Pok é Mon GO was born.

| MR name

Referred to in this article, "MR" is not "mixed reality". MR is a technology between VR and AR called mediated reality, the "father of intelligent hardware" Toronto University Professor SteveMann-mediated reality, the full name of Mediated Reality (abbreviated MR). VR is pure virtual digital images, Mixed Reality is virtual digital images, including AR + naked reality, MR is a virtual digital + digital reality picture.

MR is not appeared in recent years, 780 of the last century, in order to enhance its visual effects, let your eyes in any and all circumstances to be able to "see" surroundings, Steve Mann designed a wearable intelligent hardware "Digital Eye Glass" as a visual aid, which is regarded as a preliminary exploration of MR.

Innovation capacity of human visual perception, not only involves digitally superimposed on reality, you also need to use other Visual modifications by means of added, starting from the last century 90 's, MR (mediated reality) to study at the University of Toronto, HI Labs, a group of top talents from the HI laboratories stand out.

Editor's Note: Lei feng's network (search for "Lei feng's network" public concerns) previous years following Steve Mann's easy Apple CTO Ai Tao article--the amazing virtual world: you may not have known the smart glasses, talked about the difference between AR/VR/MR.

| "Touch control" not "gesture recognition"

Touch control is not equal to gesture recognition, touch control, including gesture recognition.

Hand control must meet the following three basic points:

1, hand controls must have a depth sensor to know how far away from the user.

2, feel manipulated, including gesture recognition. Gesture recognition algorithm for image updates are hand gestures and hand movements instructions, hand gesture recognition information and depth information overlap, resulting in: hand far from me, complete information on what to do, can be called feel manipulated.

3, VR, and hand control to give users a real hand image. Algorithmically image closer to hand and vestibular senses user synchronization, can see the depth of information, giving users the most realistic feeling of control. If users see the hands or simulation of the mechanical hand and friendly interaction will be greatly reduced.

India 20 cheaper Tablet made in China Aakash 2 hands on experience

In number days Qian, more than digital website broke has a article "global most cheap flat computer Aakash China made" of news, reported said, India Government joint Datawind company launched of 20 dollars (subsidies price) cheap flat computer Aakash 2 actually is in Shenzhen design and manufacturing of, Datawind company is said, Aakash 2 of part parts does is by China manufacturers generation workers of, but design and assembled in China zhiwai for.

Aakash 2 sells for $ 20, but it was explosive material, said India government purchase price of this tablet for $ 42-43, less 5% profit, then the Tablet cost about US $ 40 (about 250), if you are not picky, huaqiang North, can also be found. So, what is the performance of this? Technology site Engadget recently get the goods on the basis of experience.

Engadget got the DataWind version placed on the external, model UbiSlate 7Ci,Aakash 2 is the India Government's product number. First out of the box picture, look at the packaging:

Engadget got "Aakash 2" for an upgrade version, features a 7-inch touch screen, the 1GHz Cortex A8 CPU, 512MB RAM,4GB ROM,Android 4.0 system, screen resolution is 800x480, the battery capacity of 2100mAh. Original version before configuring CPU only 366MHz,RAM and ROM 256MB and 2GB, respectively.

This product can't compete with iPad Mini, and compared to Kindle Fire or Nexus 7, and the camera's resolution is too low, the keyboard is too small and so on, but there is one thing: it is only $ 20, does not include government-subsidized price of just $ 40. Datawind Suneet Singh Tuli, Chief Executive, believes that popular line of personal computers at about per capita monthly income of 25%, and India per capita monthly income is only $ 200, 40-dollar price level contribute to the popularization of flat.

Engadget believes that compared to the Matrix One, Novo 7, Novo looked more affordable before the 7 Basic MIPS tablet, Aakash ran Sunspider results for 3767 milliseconds, performance can be called "tough" (and higher-end handhelds do not compare, of course). UI responses to users will get by, lower demand for reading e-books and messages of these tasks are not a problem, the most surprising is that this does on Youtube HD video ... ...

However, Engadget also believes that a tablet screen short Board, a small viewing angle, tilt up and down as if negative mess (it is strange, tilt the screen does not appear on the same effect in the horizontal direction); often appear at the touch, and for example swiping mistaken click on.

Another piece of media before revealed Aakash designs, small series and this picture looks very different in kind, could this picture be Datawind design, but the final price tag has chosen to purchase, Hua Qiang bei?

Overall, this so-called Aakash on 2 of the biggest bright spot is the price, although many media for its low price shouted "Oh My God", I believe there will be many manufacturers have laughing and silence. Small series also called for a, if some manufacturers have seen this article, believe that their product is not worse than this, you can contact @ love machine for a PK.

Early CJ 2016 EVA on the world s largest machine photo

China Joy 2016 on July 28, due to the harsh restrictions on the dress, make this China Joy 2016 are bored than ever before, much less read. But in the second day of the exhibition, a giant appeared in front of Hall E6 EVA models, it is some EVA genuine power to raise the world's largest hand in Taobao EVA unit early. iWatch Case

 

The EVA early machine was originally designed left hand weapons (weapons were placed on the ground)

This massive unit EVA was originally authorized by EVA genuine hand raised to the EVA fan Taobao. Raise conditions for the success of the project: "ways and means must be reached before July 20 RMB 1 million. "While the project on June 23, when the only funding less than 30,000 yuan.

Just less than a month time, fund-raising from 30,000 to 1 million Yuan, which if in intelligent hardware market, can only be described as bland, but we know this item is a serious "fans" and "belief" superior.

Red columnar objects in the distance as EVA unit early weapons

EVA arrived in Shanghai early on the evening of July 28 China Joy Expo site, the initial for the placement, height of about 20 meters, after the vertical height of 50~60 metres, and EVA in the animation unit size has been very close. Beginning of the EVA is located in the Shanghai New International Expo Centre, gate of E6, because w Hall, Hall e, n Hall is arranged into triangles, Museum visitors will have noticed the huge beginning of EVA unit. Throughout the exhibition period, massive unit EVA early attracted the attention of numerous tourists, where early in the view of visitors, could not bear to stay, onlookers took pictures of tourists with disdain and more fans in the case of prohibited into walls and giant, early press photo. iWatch bumpframe

Of course, the mega-unit EVA construction's main purpose is to fit a certain EVA genuine authorized tour started, and from the results, it has become one of the biggest highlights of the current CJ, even if 1 million is money that is value for money.
