When play resumed Gauff went on to claim a 6-4 7-5 win over Muchova and a spot in Saturday's final. The group pointed out that it was not protesting tennis, but the use of fossil fuels. "We're not protesting the event itself; we are not protesting tennis; we are not protesting the emissions that brought spectators to get here," said Shayok Mukhopadhyay, Extinction Rebellion activist. After her match Gauff said she had no animosity for the protesters and believed that climate change was real. 'Just Stop Oil' protesters interrupted play at Wimbledon in July, releasing orange ticker-tape mixed with jigsaw puzzle pieces during matches.

T-Pain is performing songs that will become a virtual reality (VR) concert, delivered directly to fans via VR headsets. “(Virtual reality) is a very big shift,” says Kyung Kuk Kim, vice president and head of production for AmazeVR. (AmazeVR says it plans to launch the T-Pain concert this Fall.) According to AmazeVR, pricing is currently per concert; it will cost $6.99 for one year of access to the T-Pain concert, for example, after that content launches. It is also producing and releasing mixed reality (MR) concerts – a combination of virtual and augmented reality – by overlaying virtual elements onto live, real-world video.

Production limitationsEnding the shortages of Adderall and other ADHD medications is no easy task.

As technology shapes customer habits, entire industries, and society at large, digital transformation has become a critical priority for every company. A February report from Deloitte found effective digital transformation initiatives could increase market capitalization by a staggering $1.25 trillion. From artificial intelligence to extended reality, a variety of technologies are shaping digital transformation strategies. He said he expected industries with "significant human implications," such as healthcare and space exploration, to benefit the most from digital transformation. Extended reality — a combination of virtual reality, augmented reality, and mixed reality often called "XR" — is another technology that could revolutionize organizational cultures.

However, many consumers — and even business leaders — are still confused about what the metaverse actually is and how it will work. No matter what you call it — the metaverse, spatial computing, the 3D web – when the metaverse is broken down into its component parts, more realistic applications emerge. "We call it Metaverse Technologies for a reason." PwCIt's not just retail; events that have traditionally relied on in-person participation are also embracing a combination of metaverse technologies. The Venice Carnival is just one example of how metaverse technologies can create new ways for people to connect, learn, and experience the world.

CNN —Spanish environmental activists spray-painted a superyacht moored in Ibiza on Sunday.

According to multiple shipping industry news sites the yacht belongs to Nancy Walton Laurie, the billionaire heiress of Walmart. The two protesters were detained by the Spanish Civil Guard on Sunday morning and were expected to be released Monday, according to Futuro Vegetal. “The action puts the finishing touch to the “Jets and Yachts, the party is over” campaign, convened by Extinction Rebellion Ibiza who demand the prohibition of private jets and the end of luxury emissions,” Futuro Vegetal said.

Google has killed off a project to build a pair of augmented reality glasses it had been working on for several years. In 2020, the company announced it purchased North, a Canadian startup that made AR glasses. Since shelving the Iris glasses, Google has focused on creating software platforms for AR that it hopes to license to other manufacturers building headsets. Two employees said it's possible Google may resurrect the Iris glasses one day and that some teams are still experimenting with AR technologies. Other teams were moved to work on the software platform and Samsung partnership, they said.

☆ 3 major companies trying to move supply chains out of China, and how they're faring in their attempts to move away from the factory of the world

Ted Cannis, a senior executive at Ford, told the Financial Times in December that there is a "large-scale rethinking of logistics operations" across the auto supply chain. "The supply chain is going to be the focus of this decade," Cannis said. Among the companies Apple is relying on to make the Vision Pro is Taiwan's Foxconn — which is the main supplier shifting its supply chain away from China. The move was made after China's COVID-19 lockdowns rocked supply chain and production timelines, but prices are the real driving reason behind the move. "Right now, robustness of our supply chain also needs to be considered to ensure the stable procurement of parts."
