Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).
Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.
I was just reading about a new(ish) British company called 'Improbable' and one of its products called 'SpacialOS', that allows users to build highly detailed virtual worlds which allow users to create super detailed simulations.
Apparently, SpacialOS is just the job for city planners for real life traffic prediction.
One company using SpacialOS has created complete simulation of the city of Cambridge, including its sewerage and mobile networks, power grids and road traffic. Tons of big investors have been pouring massive amounts of money into Improbable because SpacialOS is going to revolutionise design and construction.
Problem. It's not for the likes of us (yet?) because it isn't (yet) a listed company.
But it does appear to be a budding 'Microsoft', 'Apple' or 'Google'.
One of my sons has physics exams today at university. He shares a house with 6 others. Two if them are doing physics as well. They both had breakdowns this week and doctor had to be called. They will redo this year next year. One has gone home already. Luckily, my son thrives on pressure.
