Widespread autonomy is the next step after the digital transformation and advanced manufacturing. Brian Evergreen, the Global Head of Autonomous AI Co-Innovation at Microsoft Research studies autonomous transformation. He describes it as the evolution of work and the relationship between humans and machines. Evergreen will present the keynote, “ Clearing the Digital Fog: The First Step of Autonomous Transformation ,” at IME West in Anaheim on February 8. We caught up with Evergreen to ask for further clarification about the autonomous transformation. Design News: When you use the term autonomous transformation, it seems you’re using the term to describe a concept beyond autonomous vehicles. Do you include autonomous manufacturing? Other industries? Brian Evergreen: Yes. When I use the term Autonomous Transformation, I’m referring to the next era of transformation that encapsulates much more than vehicles, though vehicles have received the most media attention when it comes to autonomy. I’m referring to the evolution of work and the relationship between humans and machines. In the industrial revolution, all physical work was broken down into its most basic work element and any work element that could be mechanized was mechanized, and the rest was given to humans in a move that […]

The largest movie screen in Saskatchewan is set to undergo a digital transformation. Regina’s Kramer IMAX is undertaking renovations to support a new digital laser projector. Currently, the theatre is home to two IMAX 3D 15/70 millimetre film projectors, displaying select Hollywood favourites and documentaries on a 52 foot tall, 73 foot wide screen. Chief projectionist Trevor Ewen has worked at the theatre since the late 90s, and has been a part of some of the previous major changes, including integrating 3D technology in 2010. RELATED STORIES “To quote my father: ‘You can’t stop progress,’” Ewen said. The latest progression at the Kramer IMAX will allow the theatre to show a wider selection of Hollywood movies–not solely those shot on IMAX film. “What the laser system is going to allow us to do is it’s going to allow us to show more movies, change the movies over more often and of course, it’s going to give us access to all the movies that people are asking us about all the time,” Ryan Holota, the chief operating officer of the Saskatchewan Science Centre, said. Two IMAX 3D 15/70 mm film projectors sit in the projection room at the Kramer IMAX […]

Professor Neil Morris, Digital Education Consultant, discusses what you need for a successful student engagement analytics strategy Data is at the heart of effective digital transformation, and for most universities collating data isn’t the issue. It is the ability to visualise that data in any meaningful way. Many organisations are tackling their data strategy as part of their digital transformation approach and often find this a significant challenge due to the complexity, architecture and interconnectedness of their systems and processes. The complexity continues with the need to deliver against levelling up, participation agendas, and quality and outcome initiatives, which require universities to be connected across all functions; where academics are common with professional staff, where instructional designers are in tune with IT systems delivery, and where decision making is supported through just in time insights. Data, and specifically, engagement data, offers this common language with relevance with the student and throughout the university eco-system, where ‘engagement’ reflects both the metrics of success and the means to mobilise against an issue. In the coming years, student engagement analytics will play a role in every meaningful digital transformational project across our institutions, whether in support of student outreach initiatives in aiding […]
