Six Degrees of Freedom (6DOF)

Six Degrees of Freedom (6DFOF) refers to the freedom of movement of a rigid body in three-dimensional space. It defines the number of independent parameters that define the configuration of a mechanical system. 

 

Smart Ad

Smart Ad by definition has intelligence. This can mean intelligence along many dimensions, but at a fundamental level, a Smart Ad must adapt to its surroundings and work across the Internet. Smart ads turn the ambiguous and highly subjective process of advertising into one that is surprisingly predictable and far more efficient.

 

Speech Recognition
