In 2024, it's impossible to discuss tech without coming across the word AI. So let's start with a discussion of Vasa-1, an AI by Microsoft. What does it do? All you have to do is feed this AI with images of people and voila see the magic. It generates 512x512 pixels and 45fps frame rate high-quality videos from those still images which looks unbelievably real. Vasa-1 brings images to life like never seen before.

Hence responsible usage and awareness are of utmost importance to enjoy its benefits.
In a groundbreaking move, Meta has announced the expansion of their Quest OS to allow other third parties to harness the powers of their OS for the first time. Renamed as Horizon OS it will come equipped with advanced technologies such as inside-out tracking for standalone headsets, high-resolution Passthrough, Scene Understanding, and Spatial Anchors for an immersive mixed-reality experience. This move could make Horizon OS the Android of VR, and AR space empowering other brands to focus more on their hardware accelerating the developments in Metaverse.
Developed by two individuals Zhang and Mather this innovation stands as a unique gadget in the evolving landscape of digital devices. Powered by Open AI's GPT-4 the Poetry Camera is capable of transforming any photo into a poem. Looking like just another Polaroid camera but instead, having a single-board Raspberry Pi computer at its core, the camera first analyses the clicked photo and looks at crucial visual data. Once processed this data is then handled by complex AI algorithms to identify things like colors, patterns, key elements, and emotions in the photo.
