One of the biggest things that Facebook has been focusing on these days has to do with wearables, which is basically a term that refers to any and all items of clothing that have some kind of technological aspect interwoven into their functionality. A big part of this would obviously be a pair of spectacles that can monitor your surroundings and optimize your lifestyle based on a wide range of factors, and this is something that will be impacted by a new innovation that Facebook has created.
This innovation is a machine learning program that is called Anticipative Video Transformer, and with all of that having been said and now out of the way it is important to note that it can potentially predict actions that you are about to perform. It does this by first understanding what type of activity you are taking part in, and then predicts the next steps that you will take in that process based on what it has learned about your behavior prior to that point.
The new AI can be useful because of the fact that this is the sort of thing that could potentially end up allowing you to avoid mistakes that you might have made and boost efficiency in a lot of ways. You might be able to save water while washing dishes, as well as potentially help you avoid danger while cooking by warning you if you are about to do some sort of action that could result in you getting injured with all things having been considered and taken into account.
There is also a lot that this can be used for at the workplace. Many tasks that you need to perform have a very strict step by step guide that needs to be adhered to, and people that are new to the job can have their lives made a lot easier if they have wearables that will tell them what to do. This would potentially be more effective than someone giving you instructions due to the reason that the instructions would be displayed right in front of you as if they are part of the real world.
With all of that having been said and now out of the way, it is important to note that it will be a while before this ends up getting rolled out. However, it does seem to be some sort of an indication of how far AI has managed to come over the past few years. Facebook might be leaning even further into its wearables sector, and this might be the next wave of tech that would end up changing the world after social media.
