The George Lucas Museum: concept is revealed

The concept of a museum named George Lucas Museum is unveiled.

MAD has now revealed the design of a building, which is going to represent a history of the moving image. For that it will use Lucas’ new additions and existing collection. Studio Gang is creating the landscaping for the site is creating by Studio Gang. Studio Gang also creating new bridge which will connect the nearby Northerly Island peninsula to the museum. The bridge has not been made public to be used yet.

The extremities of the curving white stone building extend into the landscape that creates platform above the main entrance of the project. At the highest of the building point, a “floating” disc is covering a flat top, which forms a sheltered viewing area. The area offers visitors vistas of Lake Michigan and Chicago.

According to the designers of George Lucas Museum, space for slivers of glazing provided by slices cut out of the facade, while “infinite loops” is formed by three levels of exhibition spaces inside. There is a large and open lobby area inside the George Lucas Museum entrance which is described as “urban living room”. The lobby area is lit by a central skylight.

In a statement the team said that the design of the George Lucas Museum is both timeless and futuristic. The line between landscape and structure is blurred by its undulating organic surface. Rising up of the harbour to the land, it merges with the stone surfaces that can reach up to the sky and crescendo into the ‘floating’ disc.”

A site near Chicago’s some existing institutions will be occupied by the museum on a stretch of land and it has known as Museum Campus. As the design of Studio Gang, the new building will be connected to the park the firm that created on Northerly Island.

Ma Yansong, founder of MAD , currently working on projects include a complex of buildings in the city Beijing. It meant emulating classical Chinese landscape paintings forms. He said that he wanted to make the George Lucas Museum building seems like a “wave” as it is coming out of the surface.

“The green spaces, public parks are great assets for Chicago and I want our George Lucas Museum building to blend into this fresh environment, so you don’t need to tell where the building is or where the park is,” he added. He further said that we will see the building as a fascinating landscape in front of all the modern skyscrapers.”

“Our museum is not situated in the city or not actually in the downtown area. The museum is on the edge of artificial and nature. Hence I was thinking, maybe our unique architecture is able to bring the nature force, such as water waves.”

VOA Associates, a Chicago-based studio will act as executive architect for implementing MAD’s design.

“We are actually bringing together some top architects from whole world to ensure that our George Lucas museum experience should begins long before tourists ever enter to the building,” according to George Lucas. This statement was published in July when the names of the architects for the museum project were announced. He also said that he was thrilled with the vision of architectural team for the building and also the surrounding green space.”

Amazon Echo-a crazy speaker

Amazon’s brand new surprise ‘Echo ‘ is coming in the weeks.

Echo is a crazy speaker and it talks to you.

The new product of amazon is going to competing alone because other tech companies do not have a current equivalent of that. It is actually a connected speaker which is called Echo. It is always-on and waiting to listen. It has a virtual assistant that can respond to with required information or by triggering a task.

The shape of this device is cylindrical. it has room-filling sound. On top there are seven microphones. To pinpoint your voice it use beam-forming tech.

Some features of Echo

1. It can hear you wherever you’re speaking to Echo in a room.


2. It is able to filter out background noise.


3. Echo can play music.


4. The processing of voice input is completed via cloud-based web servers of Amazon’s. Which means that it ensure to get better to identify requests and respond to commands over time.


5. A 360 degree firing speaker is included in Echo. it is able to works with Bluetooth from your device and also built in support for playback of music from music libraries such as Amazon Music Library, iHeartRadio, Prime Music, TuneIn and.


6. Echo can provide you information of news and weather from local radio, ESPN, NPR via TuneIn and other sources.


7. It not only answers of your queries but also provides you basic info from Wikipedia.


8. It can provide you definitions.


9. even it can convert units on the fly.

 

Amazon’s plan

Amazon is shipping an Echo app which go with the speaker. The app runs on Android and Fire OS. it is as a web-based app via Safari for iOS and for control via desktop. Using this app you can set up your service, monitor and view alarms. You can check your created reminders and shopping lists and generally check information input via the Echo itself.

Amazon’s Echo will cost $199 but for a limited time it will cost $99 only for Prime members. To be ordered it requires an invite from Amazon. On the other hand it was heard that Lab126 which is Amazon’s highly secretive projects was working on different types of gadgets earlier this year.

it has obvious benefits for amazon, since the concept involves the Echo listening and processing voice queries from its users. That aspect of the device might also make users uncomfortable with the overall idea, in the same way to how many people found that Fire Phone of Amazon’s seemed to be more on funneling shoppers to company’s web store than providing user oriented convenience. Amazon notes that Echo only listens after saying the activation word thai is “Alexa” by default.

The device is fairly unique among introductions product of major tech company. if it gets wider connectivity to the category of smart home devices (for example, Nest’s learning thermostat or Philips Hue connected bulbs), you might see it shifting to be a smart whole-home hub.

Kinect using by Ghost Hunters

how useful a kinect for ghost hunters?

Microsoft’s Kinect motion controller have been used to keep gamers moving as well as free from handheld equipments while they are in the throes of play. But some explorers have been using the kinect for hunting ghosts.

As kinect has capabilities of skeletal-tracking and infrared-sensing, in a room it can “see” as many as six players.

Use of the device in this way in the Ghost Adventures is a paranormal investigation show of Travel Channel’s where the use of this device as hunting ghosts’ device was demonstrated. in a scene of the horror film named Paranormal Activity 4 it was featured. Even there is a website now which is dedicated to the topic.

Good for Paranormal Research

According to Brandon Alvis, The paranormal research field always adapted technologies from many industries to use them in documenting phenomena. Brandon Alvis is the founder and president of the APRA(American Paranormal Research Association).

He added that Kinect is an another example of such technology researchers are using to continue Paranormal Research.he believe that Kinect is a great tool that will help in documenting ghostly phenomena. He is seeing the possibility of taking the paranormal research to an another level using this device.

Chilling out for a little

“It definitely makes sense that any team using technology for investigating ideas would adopt brand new tools for their further work,” said Christine Arrington. She is a senior analyst for games with HIS.

“it actually sounds like it makes good TV,” she added.

Still need improvement

According to Sharon Hill, Of course, Ghost hunters are the gadget lovers. Because using a gadget like an EMF meter (electromagnetic field meter) or camera they collected the data of research. She is a skeptical advocate, geologist and researcher.

They collect the proof of what they believe using the devices, she added.

So she thinks there are still some problems with this.

Firstly, environmental variables are measured with the devices used by paranormal investigators — not ghosts, Hill maintioned.

“Modern conceptions of the characteristics of ghosts do not mesh with physics” Hill said

When there comes anything on TV or the Web, “we must always remember to consider enhancements or hoaxes,” Hill said. “TV shows are always edited — we have no option to know what was actually going on”

“The paranormal Researchers are too fast to reach a conclusion. Still there are no proves of the existence of ghosts “she said.

Hill pointed out “We can use the technology to measure subatomic particles, microbes or to detect the characteristics from astonishingly distant objects in the universe. But we are using gaming devices looking for ghosts, because we still not done to find them? Actually these all in the mind of the hunter of ghosts.”

Important tips to keep your accounts safe

Now a days everyone is worried about their account security.

This year the activities of hackers have taken the spotlight. People of all categories from celebrity to general people are victim of hacking. From gadgets to bank accounts, no one can guarantee for security.

So unfortunately we can’t take anything for granted. Recently a financial giant company admitted that the information of 80 million customers had been stolen by hacker. The information includes details of checking and savings account. The worse fact is, the company noticed this mess after two months of hacking. That is actually a matter to be worried.

There is actually no guaranteed way to prevent a data breach from occurring at a company that has your business. But you can try your level best to make your accounts are secure from hacking, spamming or scamming.

Here are 5 steps to maintain the safety and security of your online accounts.

1. Maintaining a strong password

One of the important and easiest ways of protecting your online accounts is to Maintain a strong password.

Aspects of a good password -there should be eight or more characters having upper-case characters, , numbers and symbols, lower-case characters in a random order. The variety of characters will make it difficult for hackers to break. You can search online to get examples of strong passwords.

Of course you have to maintain a unique password for each account. So when hackers manage your one account password they will not be able to get others.

While you’re making your passwords strong, you should not forget to beef up your security questions, too. A strong password is useless if a hacker detect the answer of your security question after a quick trip to Facebook.

2. Your connection security

Home is the best place to log in into a sensitive account.

Of course, you might need to log in your fb or this kind of sensitive account when you are out of home. It is best if you use app of your bank and a cellular connection for banking

If you have to use Wi-Fi, add extra security with a Virtual Private Network. This creates a secure, encrypted link with a third-party server, and you access your sites through that link. It’s an extra level of protection that hackers shouldn’t be able to crack. On a laptop, CyberGhost is a good option. VPNs slow down your Internet speed. Turn them off for streaming videos and general browsing.

3. Account alerts are important

Many banks automatically send you text alerts when purchases or withdrawals. Two-step verification also offered by many online accounts. This provides more security to your account.

While we’re on the subject of two-step verification, some banks now feature an embedded chip that generates a new pass code for every use. Ask your financial institution if it offers cards with Chip Authentication Program (CAP) or Dynamic Passcode Authentication (DPA) technology. They don’t advertise this. You have to know to ask.

4. Phishing scams should be avoided

Hackers can hack your accounts with your name and email address even though they don’t know your credit card information or account number.

That’s the exact way how they need a phishing attack. A popular type of phishing attack is a fake email is a common phishing attack where they ask you to click on a link or download an attachment addressing them as a real company.

Remember, no legitimate company will ask you to click a link or download an email attachment to update your account details.

5. be vigilant

The best way to make sure your online banking account, or any other account, stays safe is to pay attention. It is important to catch small problems early to prevent hackers from making bigger ones later. Here’s why:

The term “fullz” is a cybercriminal world. A fullz is all the information a hacker needs to assume the identity of account holder and apply for credit under their name.

Getting your fullz, hackers group it with fullz from others and sell them online as a package. Click here to learn more about fullz and how they’re bought and sold.

After buying a fullz, a criminal will make small purchases using your account details. If you don’t take any action, he’ll continue making purchases.

Finally, the criminal will max out your card or drain your account without a second thought. To stop this, check your accounts. Immediately inform your bank or Credit Card Company when you notice a strange transaction.

Important tips to keep your accounts safe
