Navy develops futuristic DAVD HUD for AR Under Water

By Ajay Kadkol - Jun 06, 2016 08:52 PM EDT

U.S. Navy researchers have developed a high-tech, in-helmet display that will assist underwater personnel by using augmented reality.The device not only shows design inspiration from the world of sci-fi but is said to increase the safety and efficiency of divers in the line of duty.Those who took diving as a hobby already know that the experience is fun, but it comes with a degree of clumsiness and isolation. Standard masks narrow down the field of view, while the neoprene gloves hinder precision.Professional divers could use any help they can get to make their work easier and more streamlined.

NASA Satellite sports 39 unreported sources of Air Pollution

By Ajay Kadkol - Jun 06, 2016 08:52 PM EDT

Using a new satellite-based method, NASA scientists have located 39 unreported and major human-made sources of toxic sulphur dioxide emissions. The unreported emission sources, found in the analysis of satellite data from 2005 to 2014, are clusters of coal-burning power plants, smelters, oil and gas operations found notably in the Middle East, but also in Mexico and parts of Russia.In addition, reported emissions from known sources in these regions were — in some cases — two to three times lower than satellite-based estimates.
