A new frontier for non-profit funding: Social Virtual Reality

With the public launch of Sensorium Galaxy just around the corner, our team continues to digitize the lineup of confirmed artists for PRISM — the world of extraordinary music events. On this occasion, we share with you an exclusive behind the scenes with Black Coffee.

Back in December 2020, the award-winning DJ and producer joined our exquisite lineup of top-tier artists. Black Coffee brings to PRISM his distinctive afropolitan house tracks in a series of AAA virtual shows.

To get Black Coffee ready for these immersive performances, our team has 3D scanned him from head to toes, capturing every single detail. This process ensures that Black Coffee’s avatar not only looks realistic but also feels that way.

> Black Coffee: “When the opportunity [of joining Sensorium Galaxy] came, I couldn’t say no. I wanted to be part of the future.”

The public release of Sensorium Galaxy is expected in H2 2021. To stay tuned with all upcoming announcements, subscribe today to our blog and follow us on social channels.

Black Coffee is taking his signature afropolitan music vibes to PRISM — a music-dedicated virtual world on Sensorium Galaxy. Here's how we turned this DJ star into an avatar.

Behind The Scenes: Award-Winning DJ Black Coffee Gets Ready For Sensorium Galaxy

Carl Cox, one of the world's most renowned electronic music artists, is getting ready to take his vibrant DJ sets to PRISM — a virtual world dedicated to music within the vast Sensorium Galaxy digital metaverse. Today, we show you how our team is working hand-in-hand with Carl to produce his photorealistic avatar.

The process of creating his virtual representation begins with a full-body 3D scanning. At this stage, our team focuses on capturing every single expression of Carl Cox so that participants at Sensorium Galaxy can enjoy a vivid, highly realistic experience.

"At Sensorium Galaxy, we strongly believe that details matter. While it might take us a bit longer to generate artists' avatars, the final result makes our metaverse stand out from all other virtual entertainment platforms out there. Our team delivers an incomparable level of details that guarantees full immersion for every participant," says Sasha Tityanko, Deputy Director at Sensorium Corporation.

The Sensorium Galaxy metaverse is scheduled for release in H2 2021. To stay tuned with all upcoming announcements, subscribe today to our blog and follow us on social channels.

Behind The Scenes: Carl Cox Goes Fully Virtual With Sensorium Galaxy

Have you been following Sensorium news lately? Then you’ll be aware that Grammy award-winning superstar DJ & Producer David Guetta was the first artist announced to join Social VR platform Sensorium Galaxy to create a series of exclusive performances in PRISM world. 


Today we share a behind the scenes video showing the process of creating his photorealistic avatar for his forthcoming shows.
 
Sensorium Galaxy will create a unique immersive experience and the next level of interaction between artist and fans.

## Step 1: 3D Scanning

InnerPics.jpg

As outlined in our [press release](https://sensoriumxr.com/articles/david-guetta-joins-social-vr-platform-sensorium-galaxy), the first step to turn David into a photorealistic avatar is to conduct a full-body 3D scanning. On this occasion, the Sensorium team picked the [Rouge Mocap Studio](https://www.rougemocap.com/), an industry-leading facility based in Los Angeles.
 
Using a state-of-the-art photogrammetry rig consisting of 250+ cameras, we were able to perform a highly detailed body scan and FACS blendshapes (Facial Action Coding System). 
 
“We capture every minute detail of [David’s] appearance. His costume, his look, his hair, everything. We capture every bit of his likeness in every facial expression he makes, every tick, every microexpression. We capture the true essence of David,” explained Vince Argentine, CEO of Rouge Mocap Studio.

## Step 2: Motion Capture

InnerPics copy.jpg

After the 3D scanning was completed, David moved to the next stage — Motion Capture. As the name suggests, this step is all about capturing the movements that make the avatar not only human-like but also seem alive. 
 
For this process, David had to wear a motion-tracking suit and perform one of his shows on a stage surrounded by over 100 Vicon motion capture cameras.
 
“We have David perform in front of a DJ deck and we capture all of his signature moves. You’ll actually be able to see David performing with photo-realistic quality in VR at Sensorium Galaxy,” added Vince Argentine.
 
## Step 3: Post Production
 
Here’s where the magic really happens. Our top-notch graphic experts work every detail to ensure that David Guetta is no longer one of his kind — but two.
 
Want to see the result? Stay tuned!

Check out how Sensorium Galaxy creates the avatar of Grammy award-winning DJ & Producer David Guetta ahead of his shows on PRISM.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is growing at an astonishing pace and as it continues unveiling new promises for the future, AI is also becoming an attractive investment proposition.

The first uses of AI can be seen in today's technology, with interactive apps, voice-driven personal virtual assistants like Siri and Alexa, automated cars, and suggested search ideas seen on search engines like Google.

In the future, artificial intelligence will extend to devices that can autonomously learn and evolve, enhance and create new experiences and offer solutions that one day can match human intelligence. AI supercomputers are also being built to solve complex humankind problems and find solutions to issues like incurable forms of cancer, which will not only make today’s technology obsolete but will open the doors for an even bigger growth of the AI sector as a whole.

Over the next two years, the global artificial intelligence industry is expected to grow to $554 billion in total revenue by 2024, according to market research firm IDC.

And with virtually every major industry being disrupted by this technology, the opportunities for investors are becoming hard to ignore. With that in mind, here are the best artificial intelligence stocks to keep track of in 2022.


## 10 Best AI Stocks In 2022

 

### 1. [Nvidia Corp.](https://www.nvidia.com) (NVDA)

Graphics chip mammoth NVIDIA Corporation ranks at the top of the best artificial intelligence stocks in 2022. The reason why Nvidia is a well regarded company in the industry comes down to its high-end chips that power advanced artificial intelligence applications, including one of the world’s leading supercomputers, Leonardo, as well as its very own upcoming AI supercomputer Eos.

The company is not only a leader in providing chips with massive processing power, Nvidia is equally a major player in semiconductors that are needed to power a number of key technologies like cloud computing, data centers, AI and machine learning capabilities, gaming and, of course, the metaverse. In all, the chip company serves five primary markets—gaming, data center, professional visualization, automotive, original equipment manufacturer (OEM)

At its annual GTC conference, Nvidia unveiled an [extensive range of AI-focused enterprise products](https://www.theverge.com/2022/3/22/22989182/nvidia-ai-hopper-architecture-h100-gpu-eos-supercomputer) that includes new-generation chips with a processing power of as much as nine times higher than their predecessors. Nvidia's stock hit an all-time high last year as its gaming and data center GPU business fuelled growth throughout the Covid-19 pandemic.

The end-end chipmaker has also seen a whopping 380% rally over the past three years, although analysts warn that that cycle might be cooling off. Over the past year, Nvidia's shares have provided a [total return of 73.1%](https://www.tradingview.com/chart/?symbol=NASDAQ%3ANVDA), well above the S&P 500's total return of 13.8%.


### 2. [Alphabet Inc.](https://abc.xyz) (GOOG, GOOGL)


Google and YouTube parent company Alphabet is currently the world’s largest AI company, focusing on a wide range of global online services. The California-based tech giant owns operations including Youtube, Google Cloud, Google Play, Android, Google Pay, Waze, among many others.

More importantly, Alphabet is a leading name in the artificial intelligence sphere, developing a diverse range of AI services and products, including a self-driving company named Waymo, AI voice interface Google Duplex and being the parent company of DeepMind Technologies, which is dedicated to developing general-purpose artificial intelligence technology (AGI).

In addition, artificial intelligence is deeply integrated into many facets of Alphabet’s business practices, from content promotion to ad pricing, and much more. 

Alphabet has managed to become one of the world's largest technology conglomerates, with a market capitalization of $1.75 trillion as of March, 2022. The company also posted a net income of $76 billion on revenue of $257.6 billion for 2021.

### 3. [Amazon.com Inc.](https://www.amazon.com) (AMZN)

Another key player in AI is Amazon. The e-commerce giant makes extensive use of artificial intelligence across its company wide operations.This includes the algorithms it runs for e-commerce searches, target advertising and Amazon Web Services (AWS). And there is, of course, the widely popular virtual assistant Alexa which is used by 40 million people in the US alone. Amazon might be better known for its e-commerce services but it’s quickly becoming a name to be reckoned with when it comes to AI. Besides the features already mentioned, Amazon also offers a long list of AI applications to its clients, mostly through its AWS, including voice recognition, chatbots and speech-to-text tools that use AI to help developers create their own services.

Besides the features already mentioned, Amazon also offers a long list of AI applications to its clients, mostly through its AWS, including voice recognition, chatbots and speech-to-text tools that use AI to help developers create their own services.

There are many other projects in which Amazon uses AI, including [Amazon’s Prime Air](https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Prime-Air/b?ie=UTF8&node=8037720011) delivery drones and fully automated grocery stores - [Amazon Fresh](https://www.amazon.com/fmc/m/30003175?almBrandId=QW1hem9uIEZyZXNo).

Earlier, Amazon’s founder and former CEO Jeff Bezos had said about the technology: ”Much of what we do with machine learning happens beneath the surface. Machine learning drives our algorithms for demand forecasting, product search ranking, product and deals recommendations, merchandising placements, fraud detection, translations, and much more. Though less visible, much of the impact of machine learning will be of this type — quietly but meaningfully improving core operations.”

While Amazon’s Q1 2022 revenue report was below estimates (it was the first quarter that the tech giant has posted a net loss in at least four years), Amazon Web Services (AWS) revenue did exceed consensus estimates, seeing a 37% year-over-year (YOY) increase.

### 4. [Meta Platforms Inc](https://about.facebook.com/meta/). (FB)

Meta (formerly Facebook) has started to put increased focus and investment on its augmented- and virtual-reality products and services as part of its plan to build the metaverse. As part of this push, Meta has also doubled down on AI technology, building the AI Research SuperCluster (RSC), which was hailed by the tech giant as the world fastest AI Supercomputer. Meta uses artificial intelligence to power things such as advertising algorithms and news feeds.

As of 2021, the company breaks down its financial results into two segments: Family of Apps (FoA), which includes the Meta’s main social media platform, Facebook, as well as Instagram, Messenger, WhatsApp, and other services, and Reality Labs (RL), which includes the company’s augmented- and virtual-reality products and services like the Quest VR headsets. Meta also recently announced it would be opening its first physical store - the [Meta Store](https://about.fb.com/news/2022/04/meta-retail-store/).

Meta reported a year-over-year growth of just 7% in the first quarter of 2022, the slowest pace of expansion in Facebook’s 10-year history as a public company.

In its most recent earnings report last week, Meta forecast a potential year-over-year revenue drop in the second quarter. Despite the recent tumble, analysts still put Meta at the top of AI stocks to keep an eye out for in 2022.

### 5. [International Business Machines Corp.](https://www.ibm.com) (IBM)

IBM has decades-long worth of research and development of AI applications, most notably its AI supercomputer Watson, which is currently a major competitor alongside other AI companies like Google, Microsoft and Amazon. As one of the best tech stocks to watch this year, the cloud and software firm works with top companies spanning a number of industries, from finance to healthcare law and academia, to improve software applications and data analytics. IBM also offers consulting and hybrid cloud infrastructure to clients. In recent years, the company has placed great focus on becoming a leading provider in the hybrid cloud segment and AI that can be beneficial for companies looking to digitally transform their businesses. IBM reported a net income of $5.7 billion at the end of 2021, up 2.7% compared to the previous year. IBM is an AI stock you really want to keep in your list of potential investments in 2022.

### 6. [Microsoft Corp.](https://www.microsoft.com) (MSFT)

No tech stock market can be complete without mentioning software giant Microsoft Corporation as it's undoubtedly one of the top AI stocks in 2022. Continuing a trend seen in recent years, Microsoft has continued placing significant investment on AI and cloud computing services under the [Azure platform](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/). Microsoft's cloud computing network was built with the objective of training AI models to produce complex AI infrastructures for developers and organizations. The company also runs Context IQ, an AI application targeted at Microsoft employees that helps search, predict and create suggestions. Microsoft's third quarter 2022 financial results saw the company posting a revenue of $49.4 billion and net income of $16.7 billion, beating expectations across the board.

### 7. [Palantir](https://www.palantir.com) (PLTR)

Serial entrepreneur Peter Thiel’s Palantir is a software development and data-mining firm that specializes in leveraging big data and AI to provide insights and analytics for a wide list of clients The company's primary business centers around secure data analytics software and management to the government and private organizations. Palantir's [Gotham](https://www.palantir.com/platforms/gotham/) platform collects and mines data for government agencies while [Foundry](https://www.palantir.com/platforms/foundry/) provides similar services for large enterprise clients. Palantir also runs the [Apollo](https://www.palantir.com/platforms/apollo/), which has been crucial in using artificial intelligence in space exploration. Palantir Technologies reported fourth quarter revenue that rose 41% to $1.54 billion at the end of 2021. Ridding the AI boom to the fullest extent, Palantir can be a promising investment when it comes to AI systems and AI data applications.


### 8. [Intel](https://www.intel.com/) (INTC)

Like Nvidia, Intel is a leader in the graphics processing units and CPU industry. The company also develops systems for cloud servers, self-driving cars, and AI technology. In particular, Intel has invested in AI hardware and software, including the Nervana processor, which is a deep learning processor. The chipmaker also has another AI processor dedicated to developing neural networks and visual recognition - Movidius. All in all, the company offers to clients an AI developer ecosystem that provides end-to-end software resources including optimized tools and frameworks for data analytics, traditional machine learning, and deep learning. Intel beat on the top and bottom lines for the first quarter of 2022, posting $18.35 billion in revenue. For all these reasons, Intel is among the top stocks to buy this year.

### 9. [C3.ai, Inc](https://c3.ai). (AI)
 
C3.ai is an enterprise AI software provider, which develops artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to helpe large organizations optimize and streamline operations. As a leader in the AI industry, C3.ai's recent contracts include a five-year deal with the U.S. Department of Defense worth $500 million. In 2022, the company has announced an expansion of AI-based services that extend to finance, healthcare, agriculture, life sciences, manufacturing, and more. The company's tools have been recognised as some of the best for companies to become more efficient across the cycle of operations, including chain management, energy efficiency, and customer engagement. As a younger company compared to others on this list C3.ai is yet to turn a profit, but given its best-in-class offerings that have been adopted across many industries and the AI solutions it has developed, this is still one of the stocks to consider this year.

### 10. [SentinelOne, Inc.](https://www.sentinelone.com) (S)
 
Last but not least, we are highlighting SentinelOne as the company is a leader in the AI software market. In particular, the firm offers both on-premise and cloud-native cybersecurity to organizations, which puts it ahead of competitors with just one of those offerings like CrowdStrike. By making extensive use of AI, SentinelOne can reduce its dependence on human analysis and active internet connections to activate its solutions, while leaving powerful artificial intelligence algorithms and AI technology more broadly to stay ahead in the market. The approach appears to be paying off as the company reported a 120% jump in revenue to $204.8 million at the end of the first quarter of 2022.

## Final Thoughts

Investors should know that investing in artificial intelligence ought to be treated like any other stocks - we suggest you do your own research, assess the fundamentals of each company and make sure you’re investing money you’re comfortable with losing in case of a market downturn (which, hopefully, won’t happen to you). That said, the companies listed above are suggestions and they don’t constitute financial advice on our part.

Best Blockchain Courses In 2022 [Reviews Included]

Best Blockchain Courses In 2022

Matias Lapuschin

When you start getting serious about holding and trading cryptocurrencies, it is time to get a blockchain explorer. Trading crypto without a blockchain explorer is very much like trying to use the internet without Google. You’re left very much in the dark because the reality is, most people don’t fully understand what blockchains do. 

Blockchains are essentially public databases so a blockchain explorer allows cryptopreneurs to search for information on the blockchain. There are a lot of good options to choose from so to make it easier, we’ve selected some of the best blockchain explorers around. 

## What is a blockchain explorer?

A blockchain explorer is basically a search engine that allows you to conduct searches and easily navigate through a blockchain to track and trace blockchain transactions. Bitcoin and altcoin traders rely heavily on top blockchain explorers to keep track of and confirm transactions on the bitcoin network among others. 

You can track the balance of public addresses, coin transfer histories and transaction confirmations. It provides an easier way to manage and view cryptocurrency. To think of it simply, blockchain explorers are the Google of the crypto world. It is important to note that you need to use a blockchain explorer that supports the blockchain you wish to track. If you try using a Bitcoin block explorer to track Ethereum transactions, you’re not going to get very far. 

A blockchain explorer can also provide you with important decision-making statistics like the current hash rate, fees, transaction dates. In addition to this, the best blockchain explorers will display the following information: 

- List of recent blocks allowing you to explore recently mined blocks
- Transactions in a given block 
- Transaction history of a given public address
- Existing and previous public address balances 
- Explore unconfirmed transactions via Mempool Status 
- The ability to search for blocks, transactions and public addresses
- View the largest transaction of the day 
- Double-spend incidents 
- Orphaned blocks 
- Genesis blocks (the first ever mined block) 


For a more technical explanation of how they, here’s a step-by-step overview: 

1. They use APIs, rational databases and SQL databases along blockchain nodes to fetch information from the network. 
2. The explorer software works by aggregating blockchain data to display in a searchable format. 
3. Users can then use the blockchain explorer to search for information on a blockchain network such as transactions, addresses and more. The explorer responds to search requests in the same way a search engine would by displaying a list of results. 
4. Search results are then displayed in a readable and easy to understand format. 



##  Why do we need blockchain explorers?

While a crypto wallet can provide similar data, it is limited to the keys the wallet manages. Explorers, however, can be used to view data on transactions carried out on all wallets on a given blockchain. They provide invaluable information to crypto investors and developers. Some of the benefits of using a blockchain explorer include: 

- Transparent transactions by enabling users to check the balances and transaction history of smart contract addresses;
- Check the validity of a blockchain address before sending someone crypto 
- Check whether the transaction has gone through to the correct person by checking wallet balances. It can give you a form of “proof of payment” to the receiver;
- Explorers can help you troubleshoot delayed transactions by picking up errors or displaying the stage of confirmation;
- Access to current information on fees and gas prices to help manage costs more effectively;
- They can aid wallet programmers to check whether the wallets are functioning as they should; 
- They can be used to corroborate data and confirm whether third-party software is working correctly; 
- Aid companies, individuals and groups in making better financial decisions



## Best blockchain explorers

When selecting the best blockchain explorers, we looked at a number of factors when making our selections. They have great user interfaces to make it easy to see the information you need most - obviously, this is the whole point of making use of a blockchain explorer in the first place. 

The most powerful blockchain explorer should also support the coins you trade and be compatible with your wallet provider. 

###  [Blockchain.com](https://www.blockchain.com/)

Tokenview is, in our opinion, one of the best blockchain explorers in the market. It has everything you could ever want and need in a blockchain explorer. It is considered to be one of the best Bitcoin blockchain explorers and as an added bonus, supports over 100 cryptocurrencies - significantly more than any other blockchain explorer service. Aside from being an excellent Bitcoin blockchain browser, it also does support Bitcoin Cash blockchain, Ethereum and other popular chains. 

TokenView offers very useful tools such as a list of pending transactions on a blockchain, daily trading volumes, block rewards winners, active wallets by day and that’s just scratching the surface. 

Because of the enormous volume of data this system processes, loading times can be on the slow side but what it lacks in speed, it certainly makes up for in information as far as a block explorer goes. 

### [Etherscan](https://etherscan.io/) 


Etherscan.png

Do you trade primarily in Ethereum? Then look no further than a blockchain explorer built exclusively for the Ethereum blockchain. Ethereum users can easily search for, confirm and validate transactions. 

With the popularity of Initial Coin Offerings (ICO) on the rise and selling out fast, Etherscan can quickly verify whether the Ether from your wallet went through to the BAT address successfully. The platform uses API’s to build decentralized apps (DApps) which can also be used as tools to gather more information and data on the blockchain.
