IBM & Unity Partner to Offer AI Tool That Could Make Augmented Reality Apps Smarter
This month, the power of artificial intelligence will be coming to more augmented reality developers as a leader in the game and 3D software development space and a major force behind the current school of cloud-based AI have officially announced a new partnership.
In a post on Unity’s website on Tuesday, the company revealed a partnership with computing giant IBM to launch the IBM Watson Unity SDK. This programming interface will open up new cloud-based AI services for developers to use in their applications. And, with AR and AI having become increasingly intertwined technologies, this is only good news for AR developers.
Every day we generate 2.5 quintillion bytes of data. Data processing rates are growing continuously, so much that 90% of the data in the world today has been created in the last two years alone.
In a world that generates data at a far faster rate than we can analyze or utilize said data, spreadsheets and graphical charts only go so far in helping a data scientist discover new insights in their research. Therefore, finding new ways to see useful patterns in the massive collection of data requires looking at that data with new eyes. Enter AR.
