OpenAI's GPT-4
OpenAI has released GPT-4, a large multimodal model that can accept both image and text input and generate text output. With human-like performance on several professional and academic benchmarks, including passing a simulated bar exam with a score roughly equivalent to the top 10% of test takers, GPT-4 represents a significant breakthrough in deep learning.
Although the difference between GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 may be subtle in informal conversations, GPT-4 is more reliable, creative, and able to process much more nuanced instructions than its predecessor.
To test the difference between the two models, OpenAI ran several benchmarks, including simulating exams designed for humans, where GPT-4 showed superior performance.
OpenAI also released OpenAI Evals as a framework for automated evaluation of AI model performance as open-source software to allow anyone to report deficiencies in their models and guide further improvements.
GPT-4's text input capability will be available through ChatGPT and the API (waiting list), while the image input capability is currently being tested with partner 'Be My Eyes' (https://www.bemyeyes.com/).
For more information, see the research paper https://lnkd.in/dgYXBPFq or the GPT-4 website (openai.com).
We are excited to see how GPT-4 will help drive various industries and transform the field of natural language processing in the near future. With its massive parameter increase and ability to improve language understanding and reasoning skills, we eagerly await the breakthroughs that GPT-4 will enable!

Advantages of the Meta Quest 3 MR-Headset
Since its founding in 2012, Oculus VR Inc. has revolutionized mixed reality technology and has been steadily bringing new and innovative products to market ever since. Just recently, the first information about model “Meta Quest 3” was leaked.
What is the Meta Quest 3 VR headset?
Meta Quest 3 is a standalone VR headset that can be operated without a computer or console. It is expected to feature 2K resolution per eye, 120 Hz refresh rate, and 110-degree field of view. Possibly, it will come with touch controllers that will allow intuitive control.
The new VR goggles are said to be the successor to the Meta Quest 2. However, it is said to be twice as thin and twice as light as the previous model. The Quest 3, like the Meta Quest Pro, is said to offer a better mixed reality experience.
New features and improvements
The Meta Quest 3 is expected to bring many new features and improvements. Mixed Reality via passthrough camera is said to be one of the biggest new features. For this, there are almost twice as many sensors on the front of the VR goggles as on the Meta Quest Pro. These are said to be a depth camera, two black-and-white cameras and two RGB cameras. Meta has reportedly already developed 41 new apps in the backhand, including mixed reality experience, for the new headset.
In addition, the Meta Quest 3’s improved body is thinner and smaller than the Meta Quest 2’s, indicating that the new VR headset may use the Meta Quest Pro model’s pancake lenses. If the Meta Quest 3 uses the same lenses as the premium headset, it is expected to offer a much sharper image than the Meta Quest 2. It is also expected that the Meta Quest 3 may once again rely on a simple fabric strap for the head mount to save costs and offer a more stable and comfortable head mount accessory.
Furthermore, it is speculated that Meta’s new headset might have a new Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 chip installed. This would mean a performance increase of two times compared to the Quest 2.
The possible new software and improved MR experience are expected to be the selling points for the Quest 3. These new features will presumably also justify the new, higher price compared to the previous model. This is estimated to be between 300 and 500 US dollars.
Launch
The Meta Quest 3 could go on sale in the fall of 2023 with its presentation at Meta Connect. Meta’s next VR headset should also be released in 2024. It is apparently codenamed “Ventura” and is supposed to offer the best possible performance at the most attractive price.
Conclusion
The Meta Quest 3 VR headset is expected to offer many new features and improvements. In particular, the possible hardware feature through the sensors on the front of the VR headset can make an important contribution to the development of VR technology. Also, user can look forward to the better performance of the VR goggles. In our eyes, the Meta Quest 3 has enormous potential to become an important device in the VR industry!
We are excited and will test the Meta Quest 3 as soon as the VR headset is available!

Maximizing the Design and Promotional Appeal of Virtual Offices in the Metaverse
An increasing number of companies are rushing into the metaverse to establish a brand presence or an office, though many have failed to establish a clear strategy for exploiting the medium, and have had a tendency of simply replicating their physical offices in the metaverse. Christian Glessner, CEO of Hololux, a virtual reality and mixed reality agency, cautions against “simply copying real properties and conventional physical design styles” in the metaverse.
Gamification and brand play can play key roles in metaverse offices and showrooms, especially in terms of enhancing user engagement. Christian believes gamification is “very helpful in improving the experience and engaging customers. “ He feels that gamification can also be effective in the metaverse for promoting companies “with less exciting products, like banks and insurance companies.” Hololux’s successful use of gamification in metaverse offices and events for two financial clients illustrates this point, and is credited by those clients in these statements:

JP Morgan has been one of the strongest proponents for virtual offices in Decentraland. The bank incorporated its Onyx lounge in Metajuku, a virtual replica of Tokyo’s shopping mall, in Decentraland. The first floor of that lounge features a wandering tiger and a picture of the bank’s CEO Jamie Dimon. On the second floor, visitors have an opportunity to witness a discussion of experts on crypto through their avatar. JP Morgan sees great opportunities for generating significant revenue from virtual real estate ownership financed through decentralized autonomous organizations (DAO) like Decentraland and opportunities for attracting a new workforce.
Building an office in the metaverse requires considerable experimentation, as “every platform has different limitations and advantages,” according to Christian. Hololux built an office in Decentraland with its partner Azury, a real estate firm, to “show customers how to successfully promote their brands, products, and services in the metaverse,” and greatly expand their exposure, explains Christian. According to him, offices and shops in Decentraland could well become the “Fifth Avenue stores or offices of the future, with potentially millions of customers and clients drawn to their virtual office or shop.” In addition, Hololux’s office in Decentraland “allows us to attract new customers and employees, Christian pointed out.
