Amazon is implementing artificial intelligence technology that will keep employees at a safe distance from each other.

In warehouses, Amazon will equip special monitors, which will “illuminate” employees who keep social distancing, green, and those who do not – red.

Self-isolation from “Action at home” is monitored by regular notifications in the application at any time during the day and checking the compliance of the photo of the person’s face with the reference photo taken during the installation of the mobile application and the geolocation of the mobile phone at the time of photography.

If you receive a message, a citizen must take a photo of his face within 15 minutes using the program.

Apple has patented a device that adjusts images in a mixed reality system to suit the user’s vision.

The patented system is able to adjust the image for people with vision problems such as astigmatism, myopia, and hyperopia. This way, they won’t need to wear lenses or glasses when using Apple’s mixed-reality devices.

The system itself is a device that is worn on the head. It can be in the form of a helmet or even a pair of glasses. It has a built-in sensor that measures the characteristics of the user’s eye, and, according to the data obtained, the system projects an adjusted image.

With a new update, a video editor has appeared in the popular Telegram messenger.
