First Segment: Lucid. Han Jin, CEO/Co-Founder. The human brain has solved depth with only two eyes since our existence, but technology is still behind while using short-term hardware solutions which are expensive, energy-consuming and bulky. As software is eating everything, we believe in a pure software solution similar to the way we perceive depth and the world. It starts with learning from data and growing the capabilities of 3D vision to the next level like a baby seeing their environment for the first time and understanding the space, objects and movements as it matures. Lucid has built up an enormous database of 3D data which allows any dual camera to be trained on and match the performance of other hardware depth systems.   Second Segment: Computer and Technology News.

We've all been there: Your presentation is at 9am tomorrow morning, but instead of rehearsing you’re up at midnight drawing circles and lining up arrows.
