This is CNN 10. My name is Carl Azuz. Good
friday to you
and thank you for watching our show
technology takes center stage today as
we explore
augmented and mixed reality pokemon go
is one example of
augmented reality it takes virtual
digital characters and overlays them
onto scenes from the real world
the technology company microsoft is one
maker of augmented reality systems
and it was recently awarded a contract
to make a special version of these
systems for the us military
the deal could be worth almost 22
billion dollars over 10 years
and it could provide more than 120 000
ar headsets to the army's close combat
forcewhich is trained for the extreme danger
of fighting enemies within eyesight
person to person the army says the
technology would help soldiers train to
be more aware of their environments
better engage their targets and make the
decisions necessary to overcome
current and future enemies some
microsoft employees have spoken out
against providing these headsets to the
military
they've said that doing so crosses a
line into developing weapons which they
oppose
but the company's ceo says the
organization would not withhold
technology from institutions that
protect the freedoms we enjoy
there are other applications for ar
headsets one is their use
in mixed reality when you interact with
actualphysical items in front of you and the
virtual graphics you see through the
glasses
critics say that increased use of these
devices can make workers more dependent
on technology
and less on traditional know-how samuel
burke shows us how extensively the
headsets combine these elements
do you like my new look mixed reality
has come a long way since microsoft
released the first hololens three years
agomany consumers though will never have
seen the changes leading up to the
hololens 2.
that's because these devices are focused
on the workplace
not on homes its target is what hololens
creator alex kittman calls first-line
workers
those jobs and industries like
healthcare and the military that require
manual work
but would benefit from visual aids take
construction for example
i'm going to be operating and fixing
this thing
all right right in front of me is this
hugeblower it pushes air through a waste
water system
and what these glasses are letting me do
is look at what's happening
inside of these gears so i can have an
idea of what i'll need to do
when i'm operating and repairing this
machine
but seeing everything first through the
mixed reality system
so now it's showing me how the parts
will come off of this gigantic gear in
front of me
i would actually be doing this manually
so it would just be walking me through
and showing me what to do
but i would be doing the actual work
with my hand it's three and a half
thousand dollar price tag is geared to
businesses rather than everyday
consumers
that cost brings significant advances
one of the main criticisms of the
hololens one
was its limited field of view the
hololens 2
more than doubles it it also has eye
tracking sensors
increased resolution from the equivalent
of 720 per eye to a massive 2k
and improved balance and weight by
targeting a much smaller
business oriented audience microsoft has
paved a path to bigger returns
in mixed reality
ten-second trivia what was the first
professional team in baseball history
cincinnati red stockings philadelphia
athletics mutual of new york or
louisville greys
it was in 1969 that the cincinnati red
stockings became baseball's first pro
team
it was in 1876 that the first opening
day was held for the national league
that's according to the national
baseball hall of fame
over 3 000 people were said to have been
in the stands
and the question yesterday as the major
league kicked off a
new 162-game season was will fans be in
the stands once again
coy wire has the answer
last season's opening day it was take my
cardboard cutout to the ball game
now it's back to take me out to the ball
game
yeah baby here we go major league
baseball giving all 30 teams the
go-ahead to host fans to start their
seasons
but it won't be the same at every park
new york's mayor is opening the doors to
20 capacity at yankees and mets home
gamesas is chicago's mayor at the cubs and
white sox parks
the la dodgers will also be at 20
capacity when they open defense of their
world series title
regardless if there's 10 fans or 2500 or
10 whatever it is it's going to be a
special day
for all of us we probably as players
didn't realize you know
necessarily how how much we appreciate
having fans in stands until
you know last year when there weren't
any having any fans in the stands makes
it a
more fun environment and with texas
governor opening up his state
the texas rangers are wide open up to
100
capacity for their home opener with
masks but starting on game two that
number will be reduced
with social distancing
how you watch the game is going to be a
lot different than you're used to
you'll have to be in masks and practice
social distancing
you'll even be encouraged to buy those
peanuts and cracker jacks
on your phone we're very excited to have
our fans
back in the stadium and we appreciate
their patience and understanding
throughout this entire process
but it should be a a seamless
recognizable experience as they've had
in the past
while vaccines won't be required for
fans to enter ballparks
some parks have jumped into being part
of the mass vaccination effort
when the first commercial plane service
ferried passengers between
st petersburg florida and tampa in 1914
the flight itself was exciting enough
that people didn't need entertainment
even after movies headrest screens and
tablets change what we do when we fly
seating arrangements generally have
stayed the same but cnn contributor
chris james explores the new
visions for aircraft interiors though
they may not actually take off anytime
soon
hey carl i think it's safe to say that
this past year has been a game changer
for businessesaround the world in the face of covet 19
the aviation industry especially
has been forced to adapt in ways they
never before thought possible
so in the spirit of reimagining air
travel today i'm going to give you a
glimpse of what the future airplane
might look like
the winners of the latest crystal cabin
awards were recently announced
recognizing the best of the best
designers pushing forward the most
innovative and exciting ideas in
airplane interiors
on the original award shortlist this
intriguing idea called the flex lounge
concept
which allows airplane passengers to face
one another on a plane
among this year's winners is the
electric jet alice which won in the
cabin concepts category
it's billed as the first purely electric
commuter jet and was chosen for its
innovative cabin interior
which can transport up to nine
passengers over a distance of more than
600 miles
because of the way seating has been
designed all of the guests will face
towards the jets large windows
pretty cool this design is called the
coffee house cabin
and it was developed by students and
faculty from the university of
cincinnati
described as a productivity focused zone
targeting the business traveler
each and every passenger would have a
dedicated workstation and personal space
it also features these space efficient
tables located in the center of the
aircraftwow now i know what you're thinking what
about takeoff and landing
during those times the seats will rotate
towards the front of the plane
and table wings will securely fold down
it's always super exciting to think
about the ways in which
travel will evolve well into the future
over the years during the easter season
