Image
                                    Summary The webpage "Vision Pro" from Apple Inc. (2023) introduces a mixed-reality headset that seamlessly integrates augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). It demonstrates how this technology is significant in the era of spatial computing. According to Apple Inc. (2023), the Vision Pro allows users to completely immerse themselves in a virtual reality environment or add an augmented reality layer to their surroundings. The design features a single piece of three-dimensionally moulded laminated glass integrated into an aluminium alloy frame that curves around the user's face, with a light seal to block out stray light. It also has a Solo Knit Band that can be adjusted with the Fit Dial on the Vision Pro to personalise the fit according to your head size. In terms of technology, the Vision Pro has dual 4K micro-OLED displays, high dynamic range (HDR) for...

Self Introduction Letter

Dear Professor Blackstone, I’m Nicholas, and I’m writing this letter as a self-introduction. I graduated from Mechanical Engineering at Singapore Polytechnic and before that, I attained a NITEC in Mechanical Technology from ITE College West where my engineering journey started. I took an interest in the engineering field as I've always had an interest in creating things, from building guns out of Legos to building an elevator in the video game Minecraft when I was a young boy. This naturally led me to pursue engineering where I can learn about engineering theories to apply my passion for creativity to solving real-world problems.  One of my communication strengths is the ability to provide reassurance to people. I only realized this much later in my life when I was an instructor at Officer Cadet School and feedback was given by my cadets that this was one of my strengths. There were instances where my cadets wanted to fall out due to fatigue from training as their afraid that they ...

Quote intepretation

  "Developing excellent communication skills is absolutely essential to effective leadership. The leader must be able to share knowledge and ideas to transmit a sense of urgency and enthusiasm to others. If a leader can't get a message across clearly and motivate others to act on it, then having a message doesn't even matter."   - Gilbert Amelio, former President and CEO of National Semiconductor Corp. Fadlan and I believes that this quote talks about the importance of being able to deliver a message across clearly especially when in a leadership position. A leader needs his team in order to succeed and overcome whatever challenges the team faces, if the leader is unable to communicate effectively the intent to his subordinates, then there might be avoidable complications within the team further down the line.
