In this episode Allen hosts Pete DeMar, who has over 50 years of experience in the stationary battery industry, shared his background and expertise in battery failure analysis. Al Warner, with a history of involvement in batteries since his time on the farm, shared his experiences in the military and the UPS industry, highlighting his learning journey and continued interest in battery maintenance.Episode Highlights4:53 – I was, I guess, the whistleblower for VRLA batteries. I had, the main manufacturer at the time come to my location and had a battery assembled for them. I showed them every problem that they have with them. So IEEE came out with a document called IEEE 1188, and that became the standard for maintenance of VRLA batteries.11:56 – UPS batteries are the heart of the UPS system. If you don't have a battery, it's not uninterruptible so battery maintenance is critical.22:28 – Control algorithms that monitor the batteries kind of put the customer to sleep believing that the UPS is going to give them a warning before it fails, but that doesn't always happen.22:28 – A brownout is where the utility lowers the voltage so they can provide for a few more customers and then there's of course the famous blackout and rolling blackouts.29:24 – A totally separate problem that we have not actually discussed is, there are two things and one of those is, with large UPSs and DC battery systems, the arc flash calculations, they are way off.49:35 – They're relying on the electronics to Safely take care of their batteries. Same thing is true with UPSs. They rely on the electronics and no inspection It's out of mind, out of sight.

In the latest episode of DC Power Hour, Dave Neubert recaps the BATTCON conference in Miami with the Battery Blarney duo, George and Allen. Allen, a founder and Hall of Fame member, discusses the history of BATTCON, which began to address negative press around VRLA batteries by fostering dialogue among industry stakeholders. Despite Allen's absence this year, George highlights key presentations and international participation, underscoring BATTCON's importance as a leading stationary battery conference.Episode Highlights3:28 – It started off with the presentation by Curtis Ashton, the current chair of the committee, the job you held for many, many years Allen.11:30 – There was a lot of focus from the floor on battery safety.31:04 – In some of the very large telecommunications applications, particularly places like the cable companies, they were seeing instability on the 48 volt bus, and I mean real instability.37:27 – I know from my own training requirements here, a basic standard like PRC 005, there is a lack of understanding at the level with the people who are doing it.

This talk presents the design and development of a custom 3D printed haptic syringe interface aimed to augment a virtual reality local anesthesia simulation (VRLA) with realistic tactile feedback. The VRLA previously used an Oculus Quest 2 head mounted device (HMD) with out of the box hand controllers to immerse students in the simulation and complete the necessary tasks. One controller (with the dominant hand) was used to perform a local anesthesia injection with a virtual hand that held a virtual syringe. This was subsequently replaced with a custom 3D printed haptic syringe to simulate physical interactions between the syringe and the environment in an effort to enhance the students' training experience. A pilot research study investigating the effectiveness of the custom haptic syringe had positive outcomes. Speakers Mohamad Eid, Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering and former 19 Washington Square North Faculty Fellow, NYUAD Marci Levine, Clinical Associate Professor of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, NYU College of Dentistry; Former 19 Washington Square North Faculty Fellow, NYUAD Elizabeth McAlpin, Director of Research and Outcomes Assessment, NYU IT Avinash Gyawali, Research Assistant, NYUAD In Collaboration with 19 Washington Square North Faculty Fellows Program

Stand-by power installations are a crucial part of any business or facility. They provide emergency power during outages, ensuring that critical systems keep running. However, many businesses and facilities are finding that the quality of their stand-by power installations is declining. What's causing this decline, and what can be done to improve the situation?The Battery Blarney duo of George and Allen welcome Peter DeMar, the person that led the team that developed the VRLA battery capacity recovery process named the IOVR or IOVR+ process. These processes were created to help users that were experiencing early capacity or capability losses with their VRLA batteries. It has been proven that by utilizing these processes that any structurally sound battery that has suffered from premature capacity failure can be improved, and in most cases restored to a fully functional battery system. Of course, the process must be performed properly and completely to obtain the maximum benefit available.Highlight:03:08 – A lot of it is due to the fact of this continual pressure to get the job done. We've given you two days to do this but nobody went to look at the site to discover what has to be done. That's probably the biggest problem we have.11:44 – A lot of the installation of DC systems is now being left to electrical contractors and they have absolutely no experience to actually install a wire in a DC system.20:02 – It`s critically important to label the hands of the cable, so that we can find which is what.45:03 – I don't see it being followed throughout the industry so maybe that is one of the things that we need to look out for, training of the various technicians at various skill levels.Contact informationEagle Eye E-mailConnect with Peter DeMarLinkedIn

"Does the pandemic mean the death of the office?  No, of course not," says futurist, author and XR consultant Charlie Fink.  But he does foresee a world where we work, learn and play remotely, much more extensively than we did before the pandemic. In his new book, Remote Collaboration, Virtual Conferences and the Future of Work, Charlie offers a comprehensive look at current VR and AR applications we can use today. A number of them are free or low-cost.  Some are XR--or extended reality--combining virtual reality with augmented reality. But Charlie, who writes a regular consumer-technology column for Forbes, says we're barely getting started. "I like to say we started at the beginning, and we're still at the beginning," he explains.  Staying current in XR, he's said in the past, is a challenge.  That's because the field is evolving, even as we speak. But Remote Collaboration, Virtual Conferences and the Future of Work still gives an intriguing look at XR applications.  Team creative projects, virtual-conference platforms are spotlighted.  So are ways of virtually creating art, performing music and even connecting remotely with experts, such as repair people, if the dishwasher suddenly decides not to work. Implementation beyond imagination You'll recall, in a previous conversation, Charlie explored the ways the pandemic had accelerated the use of extended reality (XR). We first met Charlie at VRLA 2018.   He had-just-published first book, Charlie Fink's Metaverse: An AR-Enabled Guide to VR and AR. Since that 2018 interview, the world has changed in ways no one could have predicted.  Today, Charlie has published three books.  (His second, Convergence: How the World Will Be Painted with Data, came out in 2019.) And now, more than ever, we're just on the threshold, as we discover what XR can mean in "everyday" applications. Charlie talked about his new book, explored the ways XR can be effective in various work/education situations and projected what implementation might mean for our future world. On this edition of Over Coffee®, we cover: The story behind Charlie's new book, developed as he taught classes at Chapman University; Some of the applications for remote collaboration; A look at the "big 'oh wow'" one application creates, with avatars; How real-time AR works; Some of the ways current remote-conferencing VR applications work; The directions in which Charlie foresees the conference industry growing, in the future; A look at his new podcast, "This Week in XR", with Paramount Pictures Futurist Ted Schilowitz; Some of the XR applications for socializing/leisure time; The ways in which Charlie foresees the world changing as a result of increased use of XR.

Gel cells are a type of valve-regulated, lead-acid (VRLA) batteries. They have a pressure-relief valve to allow venting of hydrogen during overcharging, and a gelled electrolyte. Theyhave a greater resistance to extreme temperatures, shock, and vibration than typical wet-cellbatteries like the common car battery.(Contrary to what Richard says, hydrogen is a colorless, odorless gas. The "rotten egg" smellfrom an over-charging car battery is due to the creation of hydrogen sulfide gas, H2S. -Ed.)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_sulfide36:04 Lithium Ion batteries.Most of the newer electronics, like laptops, handheld radio, etc., has Lithium ion batteriesdue to their energy to weight ratio, and no memory effect. They also have a low self-dischargerate and are lighter than other types. Their service life depends on the time of manufacture,regardless of number of charge/discharge cycles. The internal resistance is higher than mostof the other chemistries.

"We will get through this," says futurist, XR consultant and Forbes columnist Charlie Fink. Charlie, who is currently writing his third book, sees the current coronavirus pandemic drastically changing our society.  And he sees XR--which is the subject of his book--as a central part of future life. However, he says, no one can predict the ways in which this will happen. He would certainly know. As discussed in our 2018 interview, Charlie's career involves exploring the ways in which technologies like augmented and virtual reality will shape our future.  When he gave the keynote speech during VRLA 2018, he had just introduced his first book, the AR-enabled "Charlie Fink's Metaverse," at CES 2018. Since then, Charlie has continued to take his readers on a journey into the future, with his 2019 book "Convergence: How the World Will Be Painted With Data". And his forthcoming book will be entitled "Remote Collaborations, Virtual Conferences: The End of Distance and the Future of Work."  His goal, he says, is to publish it by late May, in time for Augmented World Expo. Charlie talked about the ways he sees society currently changing, what XR is and where he sees the technology going, and why, against the background of the COVID-19 pandemic. On this edition of Over Coffee®, you will hear: Why XR faces some obstacles in becoming widely used during the current pandemic; What exactly is "XR", anyway? Some of the best, currently-usable resources for XR during the pandemic; Currently-usable XR apps for education and homeschooling; A look at holographic storytelling and how it can facilitate memorization; Some of the trends Charlie's seeing, for our future workplaces and classrooms; A look forward, at the ways the world may change, following the pandemic; A preview of Charlie's new book!; A look at the arts, and how the pandemic may affect artists' use of the XR medium.

He recalls it took several years for truly native thinking to emerge – where designers took full advantage of the interactions and capabilities that were unique to mobile phones.We also get into pass-through video versus optical see-through smartglasses.This was a really fun conversation, and I think you’ll love it.You can find all of the show notes at thearshow.com.

Girls Make VR started by using virtual reality to solve TWO social problems. The first?  The underrepresentation of women in the tech field. And the second: the "divide" among us, in terms of education and future opportunities. Then, along the way, the program took on additional issues, such as poverty and homelessness. Georgia Van Cuylenburg is the Founder and Executive Director of  Los Angeles nonprofit Arts Bridging the Gap.  Arts Bridging the Gap's mission: the creation of top-quality arts programs for underserved youth. And one of those programs is Girls Make VR, for which Robyn Janz is Program Director. Girls Make VR, created in 2016 to educate young women from low-income areas, prepares them to be leaders in the tech field.  The program partners with top companies, including Samsung and the Entertainment Software Association. Since its inception as a workshop during VRLA 2016, Girls Make VR has expanded.  At the time of our interview, their after-school program was just about to wind up for the semester.   Robyn and Georgia had just taken some of their young students to VRLA 2018, for their third VRLA onsite workshop --and counting. And for Fall semester 2018, they're reaching out to other schools, to see where else their classes can get young women working on their future tech skills. During Day Two of VRLA 2018, Robyn and Georgia talked about Girls Make VR, their experiences as innovators and educators, and their goals for the future. On this edition of Over Coffee®, you'll hear: How Georgia and Robyn first became inspired to make creative innovation their life's work; The story of the Girls Make VR program; How Georgia first came to start her nonprofit, Arts Bridging the Gap; The workings of a program which Arts Bridging the Gap devised, to create empathy between young people from both affluent and low-income backgrounds; How Robyn came aboard with Arts Bridging the Gap; Robyn's discovery of her VR calling through her professional background in a seemingly-different field; The landmark teaching experience that showed Robyn she was on the right path; How the Girls Make VR environment encourages participants to leave fear behind as they learn; A special invitation which Girls Make VR received (and which happened shortly after we recorded this podcast!); What students experience, in a Girls Make VR class session; How an exciting United Way partnership put the young students to work, addressing a current social crisis, while giving them a "work experience" that prepared them for the future; What's next, for the Girls Make VR program; What VRLA 2018 was like, for Robyn, Georgia and their Girls Make VR students; How to support Robyn and Georgia in all the amazing things they're doing!    

"Showing (is) better than talking," says Living Popups CEO Cheryl Bayer. And that's exactly what she and her team are doing. Living Popups is an interactive augmented-reality platform and media company.    The products Cheryl and company produce are episodic AR features.  And these projects, created with humor and imagination, have a number of purposes. For example, "Leonardo da Vinci" might fly into frame on a gyrocopter, in a museum.   Or, in an educational application, villainous pig "Napoleon" might pop out of the cover of George Orwell's classic "Animal Farm".  (He'll offer his views on dictatorship--and not surprisingly, he considers it a good thing!  However, he does think it's in need of a few "tweaks".) In addition, readers of Charlie Fink's Metaverse: An AR-Enabled Guide to VR & AR, get to see Living Popups' work firsthand throughout the pages.  The book festures an episodic augmented-reality series, starring the author's avatar and his two roommates.  This particular series, according to Living Popups' website, garnered a nomination for a 2018 Auggie Award, for "Best Art or Film".   (Here is the link to our earlier interview with Charlie, about his new book.) Best of all, at VRLA 2018, in the Los Angeles Convention Center in May, Cheryl and her crew introduced "The Aug-mentors".  This was the first-ever AR episodic series to be shown during a live event! Cheryl, who is both an entertainment and education professional, talked about her background, the creation of Living Popups and her experiences with the Aug-mentors at VRLA 2018. On this edition of Over Coffee®, you'll hear: What first sparked Cheryl's interest in working in the entertainment industry; How she first began working with AR as a means of storytelling; How Charlie Fink's book, Charlie Fink's Metaverse, became Living Popups' first AR project; Cheryl's experience with "The Aug-Mentors", as she and her staff presented it during VRLA 2018; What you'll see, when you watch "The Aug-Mentors" (and how to get the first nine episodes if you didn't attend VRLA!); The essential element involved, in creating augmented reality; The creative process behind Charlie, Ripley and Wade, the three augmented-reality characters in the episodes of Charlie Fink's Metaverse, as well as the characters in The Aug-Mentors; How Cheryl's work with her award-winning kids' enrichment facility, Creative Space, expanded into what Living Popups is doing in the educational field; The teachers Cheryl remembers, who inspired her most; A preview of the educational products Living Popups will be releasing, in September 2018 and January 2019; Her advice, for fellow innovators.

What if you went downtown--and saw augmented-reality information on today's meal specials appear on your favorite restaurant? That's just one of the scenarios which AR/VR consultant, author and futurist Charlie Fink says is entirely possible. In his new book Metaverse: an AR Enabled Guide to VR and AR, Charlie explores the ways in which augmented and virtual reality may become part of our daily lives in the not-too-distant future. And he doesn't just write about it.   He literally illustrates it!  An augmented-reality app by Living Popups adds another dimension of information and entertainment to Charlie Fink's Metaverse. Charlie, who estimates the date for widespread integration at 2030, says the "killer apps" of the future are...us.  People. he says in Metaverse, will drive adoption of virtual and augmented reality into daily life.  The future vision he presents in his book is both exciting, and a little scary. People will be able to occupy each other's physical reality, Charlie writes--while they're thousands of miles apart.   Artists will have new means of both creating, and sharing, their work.  But consumer adoption of AR and VR will happen slowly, with today's avenues to the technology not even close to what will be needed. In his keynote speech at VRLA 2018, Charlie talked about his background (his areas of expertise include both the entertainment industry and startups), his introduction of Metaverse at CES 2018, and some of the ways we might expect augmented and virtual reality to shape our future world. On this edition of Over Coffee®, you will hear: How Charlie first encountered VR as an entertainment-industry professional in 1992; The fundamental differences that distinguish virtual reality from augmented reality; How Charlie foresees augmented reality changing the workplace; What types of technology will provide the means to making augmented reality widespread; The ways in which VR is freeing artists to create in new dimensions; How the app works, that goes with Metaverse; Some of the biggest obstacles currently preventing the integration of AR, VR and mixed reality into daily life; What conclusions Charlie reached, from writing his book.  

(Photo by Maya Dondonyan, and used with permission.) Mezo towered over the show floor at VRLA 2018. Its twenty-foot temple was the centerpiece of the exhibition. Making its debut at VRLA, Mezo was an art installation, a mixed-reality experience, and an hour-long performance, combining augmented reality, lasers, effects and dancers. But, it's also much more than that. (Photo by Maya Dondonyan, and used with permission.) Christian Falstrup is the creative director and executive producer of Mezo.  He is also the co-founder of VRLA, which is the world's largest immersive technology festival. And while the line of attendees waiting to experience Mezo twined around the show floor, Christian's vision goes far beyond providing a memorable show. VRLA 2018 was just the beginning.  Christian's vision extends beyond a performance experience, to the ways attendees can change the physical world for a better future. Christian talked about his creative background, the story of Mezo and what's next! On this edition of Over Coffee®, you will hear: How Christian first became involved with immersive technology and world-building; The story of Mezo, and how it illustrates the creative process of world building; The narrative Christian and his team developed, and the ways in which it's a metaphor for our current world and future; How the technology interweaves with various events of this particular interactive experience; The biggest challenges Christian and his team encountered, on this particular project; The biggest lesson Christian learned, while working to make his creative vision a reality; Ways in which "Mezo" will be expanding in the future, as Christian says that "VRLA only scratched the surface"; A nonprofit resource which Christian would recommend to fellow virtual-reality creators; How participants who plant "virtual trees", in the course of the Mezo experience, are actually helping the ecosystem; And a hint at a way in which this action will be even more closely interwoven, in the future!

  Prosper XR CEO and Co-founder Jessie Kim is creating the media of the future. And she and her fellow XR pioneers are offering an opportunity for others who'd like to do the same. Jessie co-founded her Los Angeles-area startup as "Prosper VR" in 2016.  Since then, the company has expanded, adding augmented and mixed reality to their immersive-content offerings. In early May, at VRLA 2018, the world's largest immersive-technology festival, Prosper XR debuted three new rovers they'd created.  These were designed to facilitate immersive content creation. Prosper XR's  exhibit space at the Los Angeles Convention Center also gave visitors an opportunity to experience their brand-new augmented-reality app. And during VRLA, Jessie, who is one of the co-founders of  nonprofit The XR Alliance, introduced a Storytelling Panel of industry pioneers in VR, AR and mixed reality.     The panel served to launch XR Alliance's brand-new competition, created with the goal of empowering new creative talent. (That competition is happening this summer!  The deadline for submissions is August 15th, according to The XR Alliance's website.) Jessie talked about her background in virtual, augmented and mixed reality, shared the story of creating Prosper XR and explained the details of this summer's competition. On this edition of Over Coffee®, you'll hear: How Jessie first became interested in creating immersive content; The story of Prosper VR; What Jessie came to realize about the direction in which immersive media is heading, from her previous work and speaking engagements; What the early days were like for Jessie and her co-founder, after starting their VR company; Some of the early projects and "firsts" in which Prosper VR was involved; How to access the VR app which Prosper VR created; How Prosper VR came to add augmented and mixed reality to their projects; Information on XR Alliance's new competition, which is giving a voice to new talent in the immersive-content area; Jessie's prediction for the future combining of VR, AR and mixed reality; Some of the challenges involved in creating virtual reality and augmented-reality content; Some of the resources Jessie recommends for educators; One of the best lessons Jessie learned, about creating immersive content; Some of the resources she would recommend, for anyone starting out creating VR, AR or MR; How Jessie and her team created the rovers on display at VRLA 2018; A preview of Prosper XR's new augmented-reality app; How the new competition from The XR Alliance is helping to find new storytelling talent.

With new immersive game TSA Frisky, virtually everyone has something to hide. And that "virtually" is a pun, of course. At VRLA 2018, we met Remy Bustani and Preston O'Bryan,  co-founders of Savannah-based startup Out There Entertainment.   As creators of TSA Frisky and new VR entrepreneurs, they were enjoying their first expo exhibitor experience (no, we won't say that three times fast!) at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Both Remy and Preston are recent graduates, who say they're "guinea pigs" in a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Remy and Preston first came up with the concept for their TSA Frisky game as undergraduate students at Savannah College of Art and Design.   Their inspiration led to opportunity, as their alma mater launched a brand-new accelerator program. Meanwhile, visitors stopping at their booth were enjoying the opportunity to test their skills as virtual "TSA agents". The game is seriously addictive--and designed to be both humorous and challenging.   This reporter proved abysmal at checking in the general public for their flights!  Only limited time and a commitment to cover as much of the show as possible prevented a request for a second try. Remy and Preston talked about their experiences creating the game, and offered both resources and advice for fellow creative entrepreneurs in the virtual-reality field. On this Over Coffee® podcast, you will hear: The story of Out There Entertainment, and the innovative college program behind it; How Remy, Preston and their team came up with the concept for their VR game, TR Frisky, and their journey from there; Remy and Preston's perspective on their first VRLA exhibitor experience; What "TSA Frisky" players experience, once they put on the headset; Resources Remy and Preston recommend for fellow makers (both their alma mater and otherwise); Advice from Remy and Preston, to fellow makers and creatives, on working a conference, such as VRLA. TSA Frisky just became available for purchase on both Oculus Rift and the STEAM® entertainment platform  on May 17th, 2018.

Christian Dieckmann is the Chief Strategy Officer of 3D Live, a technology studio in Los Angeles that specializes in creating "holographic" 3D. Their LED video wall has made appearances at VRLA and other gatherings, showing that there is something magical to letting those of us outside a virtual space see what happens when participants and performers are interacting with virtual worlds. Christian is going to be speaking at the Future of Immersive Leisure conference at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas this September 13th & 14th. The conference organizers were gracious enough to set us up with Christian for this interview and our audience up with a 20% discount for the conference when they use the code NOPROSCENIUM. Shouldn't be too hard to remember.   All that, plus the end of the show notes where I talk a little about In Another Room, which makes its bows this week in LA.

Bob Cooney talks with Ryan Wang of Outpost Capital, a SF-based venture capital fund that focuses on the new frontier of AR/VR technologies. The company operates mainly in China, and Cooney and Wang dive into the differences in commercial and at-home VR in the two countries, why China is many steps ahead and what the U.S. can learn from the industry's actions there.

Bob Cooney and Brooks Brown of Starbreeze Studios, the game developer behind the successful Payday series, speak at VR Los Angeles. Brown and the company built an extremely high-end headset, the Star VR. Brown and Cooney talk about the catching up the industry needs to do, how the promise of VR was made over 30 years ago and the pressure that companies are feeling to deliver on that promise. Brown argues that there is exciting content for VR out there, but the problem is curating it and making it accessible to the masses.

Cosmo Scharf is a film student and co-founder of VRLA. He talks about some of the challenges of VR storytelling and the differences between a free-will VR environment vs. a traditional 2D film. Film has a series of tools to direct attention such as depth of field, camera direction, cues to look to left or right, contrasting colors or movement in the frame. Some of these translate over to VR, but you can’t use all of them since there’s no camera movement, focus or framing in VR.Cosmo also sees that VR experiences are a spectrum from ranging from completely interactive like a video game, semi-interactive cinematic experience, and the completely passive. There’s not a whole lot of people are looking into the completely passive experiences yet, but that’s what he’s interested in exploring as a film student.He strongly believes it’s the future of storytelling, video games, computing as well as disseminating information in general, and he’s very excited to get more involved in the VR industry
