The technology of 3D projection mapping

[SUMMARY]

FACE (Foundation for Audiovisual Commerce & Engineering) has created a technology of  3D projection mapping with Digital Projection projectors and a d3 Technology media server. The commissioner of this installation, Aromazz NV, had its debut at the Day of Entrepreneurs that were hosted by Unizo Limburg.

The projection mapping with FACE and two Digital Projection Titan Quad 20000 ANSI lumen projectors lighted up the face of building in the city through the glass wall of event venue Hangar 58. The contents of the event were made by d3 Technologies 4×2Pro media server.

Making 3D projection mapping have some processes.

First, taking a 3D scan of the facades which were converted in millions of individual  points. Then these points are converted into a wide UV (UV means 2D) mapping by the d3 software generator. What the d3 software generator made become an image that fits the facades and corner of building shape exactly.

DVI extenders can convert the video output to fibre and be used for the communication between the servers and projectors. Besides a tablet can control the entire setup .

It is not necessary for us to be expert if you want control the software of 3D projection mapping. This software allow event organizers to customize contents of projection show.

[OPINION]

This article explained about the technology of 3D projection mapping. It is difficult for me to have an opinion about that, so I’ll write my thought about 3D projection mapping.

Disney land is famous for starting 3D projection mapping show. The reaoson why Disney land started though making 3D projection mapping cost too much is that 3D projection mapping show don’t need any dancers and any characters like Micky Mouse, so Disney can cut a lot of cost to hire them. It means that Disney can earn much money in long-term.

We have to take care about eating processed meats.

[Summary]

WHO announced that processed meats did cause cancer if you ate 50g of processed meat everyday and the risks of causing cancer increased by 18%.

The risks of eating processed meats have placed in same category with plutonium and alcohol. However it doesn’t mean that they have same dangerous.

This announcement doesn’t force you to stop eating processed meats but if you want to decrease the risk of cancer, you had better refrain from eating them.

 

[Opinion]

When I heard this news, I thought that eating processed meat was no problem. Before this announcement released, many people ate a lot of processed meat and had a lot of happiness. If processed meat have serious dangerous, almost all people have been killed by cancer now, but actually, people are living with happiness of eating them now. It means that processed meat have less dangerous, so we need not stop to eat processed meat.

Besides, I think that this WHO’s announcement will create another problem which is that people are going to stop eating processed meat and processed meat will be sold less. It means that a dairy farmer will get a big shock and be bankrupt, so I think that official organization like WHO have to have a responsibility for their announcement.

My number system with many problems

[SUMMARY]

My number system that is a 12-digit number wiil be given to all inhabitants in Japan between October 5th and the end of November. And then, employees will have to tell their number to their companies.

However My number system has many problems about address, management and so on, especially a fail of  managing my number will lead to crime like fraud. To prevent that problems, we have to understand, trust and root this system in society.

Besides government focus on mid-sized companies to diffuse and spread this system. For using this system effectively like new business opportunities, my number may be going to use for credit card and other functions.

[OPINION]

After reading this article, I feel that My number system has many problems.

First, My number has many digit, so old people may forget this long number. This is a big problem. My number will mange very personal information like credit card, so if they forget them, they can not use their profits. To prevent this problem, government should prepare some top secret questions. If they can answer the questions, government will tell the My number them. This policy will decrease forgetting their number completely.

Second, My number manage too much information to be managed by one system. If the companies will mistake about safekeeping, much information will leak. It makes a too big problem by one mistaking, so I think that My number system has to be restrict within dealing more narrow information.

For two reasons, I disagree with My number system.

Problems that will be occurred by spreads of bio-fabrication.

<Summary>

Andras Forgacs said that there will be 10 billion people in the earth in 2050, so if we maintain how to use animals like the present situation, we will need 100 billion land animals. This means that the earth will be taken a lot of load and environment, public health and safety of eating will be worse.

To solve this problem, we should use bio-fabrication. Firstly, he started to make leather because leather is widely used and has a one-cell type. Besides, it is easier for consumers to wear fabricated leather than eating fabricated products, so fabricated leather conducts to the spread of bio-fabrication.

Furthermore, fabricated leather has same facilities to real leather and bio-fabrication can control property of leather like thickness, design, flexibility, breathability and durability.

New facilities of making products should be the contrast to current facilities that is isolated and guarded. This means that it should be clean, open and educational.

In conclusion, bio-fabrication is environmental, efficient and humane. Moreover we have to move to more civilized and evolved era.

<Opinion>

I think that this new technology makes environment better like he said because of no killing animal life. However we’ll have two problems, “stock breeder” and “rumor”.

The first problem is “stock breeder”. People all over the world need a lot of animal products like meat and leather. This means that there are many demands of animal products. To respond these demands, many stock breeders keep on supplying. However if bio-fabrication spreads as basic way to make animal products, stock breeders will lose their jobs certainly. I think that animals will not be killed by bio-fabrication, but stock breeders will be killed by bio-fabrication.

The second problem is “harmful rumor”. I think that it is difficult for people to believe that fabricated meat is safe like he said. Besides, if the safety is guaranteed, they can’t believe it. For example, in Japan, some people can’t believe the safety of the vegetables that were made in Miyagi, Ibaraki, and Fukushima. Because they are worried about effects of radio activity in spite of safe vegetables. It is the damage caused by harmful rumors. I think that fabricated meat will cause the problem like this.

If these problems are solved, we can live more environmental with animals.

US says woman will appear on new $10 note.

I read the news about new $10 note in America.

I’m going to write the summary and my opinion about the news.

<Summary>

The US Treasury Department decides to redesign $10 note and a woman will be printed on the new note. However she has not been decided yet.

The new note will be published in 2020 that is the 100th anniversary of the US Constitution’s 19th amendment to give woman the right to vote.

Former US political leaders who are white men are printed on recent notes.

Alexander Hamilton who was a important figure in the American Revolution and the first secretary of the US Treasury were published on the $10 note in 1929 and will be replaced by the woman who the Treasury Department select. Hamilton and Ben Franklin who is a diplomat and inventor are unique non-presidents published on recent US notes.

Woman have been published on US note and dollar coins, but notes and coins were not spread widely and coins were stopped produce quickly.

The most important purpose of the redesign is to prevent counterfeiters. Besides women’s groups have demand to represent women more on US notes.

Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew said that Treasury Secretary have changed the faces on the their currency a few times since bills were put into cycles of money for the first time and he was proud of portrait of woman who will be printed on the new $10 note.

In March, a contest to select a woman who will replace$20 note held. Abolitionist Harriet Tubman who allowed many slaves to be free was the public’s top choice and other choices are Eleanor Roosevelt, Rosa Parks and Wilma Mankiller.

Mr.Lew who is a member of the US Treasury Department will decide the woman who will be printed on $10 note.

 

<Opinion>

When I read this news, I thought about Japanese bills and I thought that why Japanese warrior “BUSHI” have never been printed on Japanese bill. For example, Nobunaga Oda, Ieyasu Tokugawa and so on. The reason I think why they are not printed is that the most important thing to be printed is “frienship”, so politicians is suited more than “BUSHI”.

Besides in Japan, some women are printed on bill like Ichiyo Higuchi. Japanese people respect Japanese literature, so writer like her is printed on, I think.

South Africa deports Mozanbicans after anti-foreigner violence

[Summary]

The reason why this violence happened is migrants like Mozambicans are taking South Africans jobs. It makes 24% unemployment rate in South Africa.

Mozambique’s government want to confer with the South Africans but South Africans attacked foreigners and it made at least seven people death.

Although South African government blamed the violence, they have investigated to solve problems about foreigner’s illegal working.

South African government have denied operation for the police to target foreigner.

Besides they are satisfied the situation and their agencies work all the time to keep the situation between foreigner and South Africans.

A lot of deported Mozambicans have lived in tents that Mozambican government set up when this violence happened.

South Africans President were shocking about this violence and appealed for calm.

[Opinion]

I think that government in same situation like South African government should increase employment to solve this problem. For increasing employment, they should plan some project. For example, making a dam, holding Olympic, making theme park and so on. It makes many employment.

The Collision of religions in Burma.

I read the news about religious conflict.

I wrote the summary and my opinion about the news.

<Summary>

Three Muslims who are the owner of a gold shop, his wife and employee collided with Buddhist customer at the gold shop.

According to the report, the owner beat a Buddhist customer on the head. Besides, Buddhist monk was attacked and died.

Then, the news of this collision spread in Burma and it happened big communal violent clashes between Muslim and Buddhist communities in Meiktila and three other towns.

Unfortunately, this collision have forced 12000 Muslims to displace from their home and their neighborhoods have been demolished.

According to state prosecutors, religious extremists cause many cases against a lot of people like Buddhist and Muslims.

Last month, Burmese president Thein Sein advised that if it is necessary,  the government would use force to stop “political opportunists and religious extremists” and all people who committed violence would be prosecuted to the extent of the law.

Last year, nearly 200 people died and many people were forced to get out their home by violence in Rakhine. It is the worst conflict.

In recent month, Rohingyas have run away from persecution in Burma because they are not recognized as Burmese.

<Opinion>

I think that the clash like this between Muslims and Buddhist will never happen in  Japan. Because Japanese are not sensitive about religious.

However, in the world, religion make life, culture, community and so on. It means that religion is an important thing for them. It is far different from Japan, so Japanese is difficult to understand religious conflict but I think we have to understand and think about it.

Finally, to understand religious, Japanese should be interested in own religions. It is the best first step to understand what religion is.
