MR combines aspects of both AR and VR. It not only overlays but also anchors virtual objects to the real world, allowing users to interact with these objects as though they are there. Users can manipulate virtual objects in real time, offering a seamless blend of both realities. Like AR, high-resolution (or outright transparent) passthrough […]
ContinueVR immerses users in a completely simulated environment, shutting out the real world completely. This allows users to experience a completely different reality through purpose-built VR interface equipment such as that shown in the following figure: Figure 11.1 – The author building a VR application with an Oculus Quest 2 headset Of course, VR is […]
ContinueISA units are devices that work very much like cruise control, except instead of limits being set by the driver, they are able to communicate with local infrastructure to modify the car’s throttle in response to road conditions. These could be things such as speed limits, upcoming traffic that the driver can’t see yet, icy […]
ContinueSecurity has been a perennial concern for Wi-Fi. Early encryption methods such as Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) were quickly found to be vulnerable. While the subsequent WPA and WPA2 protocols offered enhanced security, they were not impervious to breaches. The introduction of WPA3 has aimed to address earlier vulnerabilities. However, Wi-Fi often remains susceptible to […]
ContinueAs you’ll recall from Chapter 2, Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC) refers to architectures that exploit the opportunity presented by the convergence of two forces in 5G architecture. First is the prevalence of Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) on commodity server hardware. Second is the fact that the User Plane Function (UPF) is distributed at the edge […]
ContinueBecause disconnected environments do not participate in the network virtualization stack backing in-region VPC services, the VPC-CNI plugin is not available. Instead, EKS-A offers a choice of Cilium or Kindnet for container networking. Only one can be selected at deployment time, and it cannot be changed after deployment: Figure 9.16 – EKS-A encapsulating IP flows […]
ContinueCommanders need flexible, rugged compute horsepower that can be quickly deployed or torn down and moved. From an off-the-shelf server’s point of view, forward-deployed Command Posts (CPs) operate under less-than-ideal circumstances. Sometimes, they are semi-permanent structures that have HVAC, but even then, it is limited. CPs rarely meet the environmental requirements of the average rackmount […]
