Augury Letter From the Editors Hello and welcome, readers of Augury! When we set out to create this magazine in the waxing days of the cold and cruel winter, we knew we wanted to create something revolutionary. We worked tirelessly through the days when the beautiful sun was seldom seen and clouds crept chillingly over the sky. We set out to change the world, and we believe we have. “Augury” is an ancient word that means “looking into the future”. In Augury, we hope to do exactly that. In this magazine, you will read and learn about new and revolutionary advancements in technology. This ranges from the computer in your house to the deepest and furthest reaches of space. You will read about completely digital worlds that you can put yourself in, and the technology behind the entertainment that gets put on your screen. You will see the new, automated creations that are becoming more and more commonplace in our world. There are also games. Through mountains of effort and oceans of stress, we created the thing we are all most proud of: our feature stories. We trudged through ignored emails and rejections and found interviews and wrote about our passions. Through this work, we have created great and relevant stories. We hope that this magazine entices you to learn more about our ever-changing technological world and the impacts it will have on our daily lives. - The Editors

VISIONS OF THE

“Is this ethical?” “How will this affect the public’s lives?” By Zia Harvey
6 - Spring 2022- AUGURY
T
he engineering industry is an ever expanding mass;.,: Eevery day there seems to be something new. Whether it be aerospace engineering, self-drivingself driving cars, robotics orand more, the industry is always changing. With this expansion, many questions may arise come up, such as, “is this ethical?”, “how will this affect the public’s lives?”, and, “what can the people do to stay on top of this change?” The first space shuttle launch was April 12th, 1981. Oon this day, the world became captivated with the idea of space. 40 years laterNow, in the year of 2021, we saw 16 new private space exploration companies launched with the idea of space travel for the general public in mind. Although currently it costs around 55 million dollars just to get a ticket aboard one of these space missions, the ability for the public to join astronauts on space missions is becoming more tangible by the day. According to the UT Center for Space Research Director, Mr. Srinivas V. Bettadpur, “They ([Tthe public])
should look out for autonomy in space - whether it is ethical or carelessly done.” NASA defines autonomy in space as “the ability of a system to achieve goals while operating independently of external control.” As space travel becomes more available, there must be a higher level of scrutiny on companies to pay attention to the possible ethical

With all this money and resources being put into the idea of space travel, there have also been questions on the potential destruction and contamination of other environments., Although theseThisthis questions cannot be answered as of today, it isbut isit’s being constantly questioned by companies.

engineers will be able to solve the problems that arise when it comes to putting your life in the hands of a car system. The first autonomous vehicle, called the Stanford Cart, was built in 1961 was built in 1961, called the Stanford Cart. It was constructed by a mechanical engineering student, James L. Adams, in an attemptto attempt to solve the problem of controlling a remote vehicle using video information. The cart was added onto up until the 1980s in an attempt to make it faster and smarter as technology progressed. Fast forward to 2022, and we have fully autonomous vehicles available to us at relatively low prices. The Stanford cart and James L. Adams paved the way for the self-driving cars we see on the road today. According to David Fridovich-Keil, a professor at UT Austin, self-driving cars are an interesting mode of travel that is really starting to get more and more traction. In relation

to this he said “I think it’s going to become, I hesitate to say state of the art, but I think the way that people think about problems will change,.” he said. An example of this “state of the art” technology is the NissanNisson driverless car. Not long ago, NissanNisson launched the Seamless Autonomous Mobility (SAM)., Theythey worked in close relation with NASA to create a fully autonomous vehicle. The SAM partners with artificial intelligence in order to help the vehicle make decisions in confusing or fast pacepast situations., Wwhen it finds itself in a tricky spot, situation it safely stops and waits for help from the command center. The SAM can recognize the state of traffic and even some hand gestures made towards it. Other SAMsS driving in the area are able to communicate with each other and tell them to avoid difficult situations or to continue on their route. Going to space for vacation and sleeping while driving are two things that are becoming more and more realistic for the public. Although companies are working to answer the questions the public may have about their safety, there is not enough research
and evidence to answer many of them these questions. As technology advances, it is important to understand the pros and cons of anything new you are trying if it could possibly put you or others at risk.

Robot Replacements As automation becomes more and more common in the service industry, is there a possibility of humans getting replaced? BY NAMAN MISHRA 12 - Spring 2022- AUGURY
utomation is involved in everyone’s lives. Whether it’s a kiosk at a fast food restaurant or a robot that farms lettuce, it is unavoidable. As the automation market expands, people have been wondering if their jobs are at risk of being replaced by robots. Many businesses have conflicted views on this trend.

n the market for GPUs, prices are extremely high, as the prices are so out of reach. As researchers have been paying attention to the market they have realized that prices are dropping, not slowly either. Many are wondering why. Brandon Hooper, a computer repair technician at Discount Electronics, said tech fans want to know everything possible about what goes into their computers. “I like things that are technical,” Hooper said. “I like things I can put my hands on, and every computer has its niche problems.” The key is finding new ways to better what the consumer already has. “I rarely have an issue that’s the same issue and if it is then it’s an easy fix,” Hooper said. “The excitement comes from not knowing why something isn’t working and researching it to figure it out is the motivation of most people who work in tech.” The 2022 Consumer Electronics Show gave customers a preview of the future of technology. With tech company Intel’s 12th gen with the release of the new fastest gaming CPU the 12th gen I9 with the new 12th gen Alder Lake architecture, and the introduction of P (performance) cores and E (efficiency) cores.

However, this comes at a cost, according to YouTuber Gamer Meld Tech. With the new PCIe gen 4 8-pin connector, just one of these new connectors can give as much as 600 watts. High-end EVGA 4090’s have two of these connectors on the card. The 40 series cards, due to information leaks are going to take in a massive amount of power. and those who want a 4090TI in the USA might have to upgrade their house, as the USA outlet only gives what Gamer Meld Tech called a “measly” 1800 watts and 20 amps. For creators that might want two 4090 Ti GPU’s, they would need a socket that could supply 3000 watts. As for AMD, the 7900 xt is looking to be more powerful than the 4090 but more power-efficient. It is also going to be a multi-chip module design. It will have seven chips, making it an exceptionally powerful card for work. “Any manufacturing of a card at all is to be a good thing,” Hooper said. “It doesn’t matter what price range it is if there is a graphics card being manufactured. I don’t think I care too much about the series or the increments of the steps. I just think that they should be produced in a large quantity. And if that if producing a lower in graphics card means that they can produce more of them, then I would say that that’s a good thing.”

The 3D simulation industry is rapidly progressing and along with that the need for 3D collaboration grows as well. Omniverse is the future of 3D simulation. BY MILES ANDREWS

Omniverse is a product of NVIDIA that is one of many tools found to create a metaverse. Metaverses are virtual 3D worlds that can be simulated and created. NVIDIA Omniverse is used for 3D design, collaboration, and simulation using real world physics.
“NVIDIA Omniverse is the FUTURE!” - Anderson Rohr, 3D generalist While NVIDIA Omniverse is still young, rapid progression is being observed. Vincent Brisebois is a senior product marketing manager for DesignWorks and VRWorks at NVIDIA. “It’s gonna be everywhere, but you might not even notice it,” Brisebois said. Most people don’t know AUGURY - Spring 2022 - 21

what the NVIDIA Omniverse is. Omniverse is a 3D building collaboration platform. “The same way that I can give you a link today, and it takes you to a page with cool videos and stuff on the internet,” Brisebois said. “I’ll be able to give you a link and it’s going to load up a 3d world around you instead.” The collaboration factor of NVIDIA Omniverse is one of its key features to success. Here to further explain is Hai Loc Lu, working on articulated robots and vehicle simulation. “It’s a place where you can go and build virtual worlds with other people,” Lu said. Passing the collaboration standpoint, you begin to get into the technology and tools that are available for you and your fellow world-builders to use. These tools are constantly being updated and changed to fit new uses. “Once everyone’s connected, 22 - Spring 2022- AUGURY
then we also add a whole bunch of new cool technologies to it, like physics and ray tracing and artificial intelligence,” Brisebois said. Users/creators of Omniverse have been able to find their special niche where they feel like they belong. These people are able to bring forward their previous skills and apply that skin in Omniverse. Anderson Rohr, a freelance 3D artist, has found his niche in creating 3D and 2D digital art. Generating AI voices is only one of the many things Omniverse is capable of doing. Omniverse is also able to simulate real world situations. “Omniverse is very good at simulating realistic worlds with RTX Raytracing graphics,” Lu said. “We built the world, now put in vehicles with simulated sensors above, then collect synthetic data, like RGB, depth, 2D, 3D bounding boxes, to train these cars’ deep neural networks and teach them
where the pedestrians are, where the lanes are, how to drive, how to perceive a parking spot and approach it, so on and so forth,” Lu explained. The uses of Omniverse do not end there. In fact, there are so many more possibilities that have not yet been thought of. When asked about the possible fields, Brisebois began talking about medical scanning, predicting weather, virtual production, video games, movies, and more. “Any fields that benefit from visualization,” he said. Very experienced engineers and artists around the Omniverse started their career in the field rather late. They all found a way to transfer their skill sets into new ones that would help them maneuver the Omniverse. Rohr, being one of those people, originally posted content about Mortal Kombat on Youtube. “I started focusing more on my 3D works,” Rohr said. Mortal
Drive Sim created by NVIDIA Omniverse’s replicator for automatic vehicles - Photo curtosey of NVIDIA
Kombat was, “consuming a lot of my life to the point of almost no return,” Rohr said as his reasoning for transitioning more into 3D art. Rohr shows is one of the multiple examples of focusing on something completely different then getting involved in Omniverse. Lu had a similar experience spending his high school years on studies unrelated to what he does now. For Lu, he said he “studied physics in high school and did not get into programming until university.” Lu found personally that “the physics background from highschool did help translate into computing.” For others, even after going to college and choosing their major, they do not yet know what their future field will end up being, one of those people being Brisebois. “I went to school for architecture,” Brisebois said. But as he got into it, he found that he liked visual arts more. When one of the
3D studio teachers of Montreal’s NAD got in a car accident “they asked me if I could fill it in and teach it”, he said. He took the teaching role and the rest is history. My interviewees are from a variety of backgrounds from architecture to physics, but they were all able to find their place in working with NVIDIA Omniverse, proving that you can begin getting involved needless of what you do now. Omniverse has a way to connect all different people no matter where, how and even when you begin. Brisebois said, “It’s free! Go download it now and play around like it’s never too early to learn to build things in 3D!” Though they all started rather late it is still never too early to start. They have shown that the time you start and your original field is not important to getting involved in Omniverse. On top of that, Rohr showed location is not a factor in Omniverse involvement, as he lives
in Brazil himself. “As I’m living in a very small countryside city of Brazil, I have very limited access to hardware … but thanks to free apps like Omniverse and Unreal Engine, I could start creating,” said Rohr. Learning to build new things in 3D might not be the only way you will see and use Omniverse, you may see it all around you even though you might not notice it. “NVIDIA Omniverse is the future,” Rohr said.
