Altercated Alternated Reality Machine

ALTERCATED ALTERNATED REALITY MACHINE
As the postulation of alternative realities in an altercated sense are already presented and this postulation is verified and created from the mind's eye of man, and a postulated alternated reality island was successfully created and maintained, the new question that arises is how can we, as humans, create consistent, alternated realities, and, is it possible to accomplish this creation with a machine?

If the actual process of creating an altercated reality is depended on the mind of man, let's say encompassing the elements and requirements of Forward Expert Inference Engine material, what is the transferal to the mind of machine? Can the machine which is cognizant also be capable of altering and shaping reality? How can we establish an experiment to determine the result?

We know there are methods of quantizing the process of a Forward Expert Inference Engine through machine means in terms of AI Machine Intelligence. Does, in the sense of executing the postulation, it make sense to employ machines to accomplish the same as humans?

Venus Conjunction

Tiny dot at top right is a planet
BIG BRAIN'S EYE FOLLOWING VENUS CONJUNCTION

In continuing with the series of images showing the conjunction of planets Venus and Jupiter with the star Aldebaran in the constellation Hyades near the famous 101 skyscraper, this new view was captured on Monday July 9th, 2012. A Canon PowerShot S95 was handheld with 12.8mm telephoto focal length at f/3.5 and a 1/80th second exposure. ISO 500 was used for this view just prior to the rising sun. 101 is located to the East, as seen from Area 51. Area 51 is a Big Brain Observatory and Laboratory located very high up on a skyscraper rooftop peak and has viewing access to the entire sky. Previous conjunction images were obtain on July 3rd and July 8th. However, today, due to some cloud cover, only one planet is visible.

New CCD Eye

Screen within a screen
BIG BRAIN GETS A POWERFUL NEW CCD EYE
The Big Brain can now look farther and deeper in the Universe depths with this new big color camera eye. On June 13th, 2012, the Big Brain gained a powerful new CCD eye, purposed for imaging great gains to ISO 27,000.

Features The electronic lensing eye employs a CCD element sensor which saves data to a 16 GB High Speed SD Ultra Card by Sandisk at a high speed data transfer rate of 30MBPS. The sensing element is a 10.0 Megapixel 1.1.7-inch Charge Coupled Device with a fast pre image forming F/2.0 to F/4.9 wide angle (28mm to 105mm) lens capable of zoom at 3.8 optical x 4 digital (15.2 combined). It contains a full size 3-inch bright LCD monitor with 461,000 pixels. The eye can time expose a quarter of a minute (15 seconds) for astronomical and dark area imaging and reaches a fast high end exposure of 1/1600s. Vision is as close as 2-inches or out to infinity and includes a timer. One great feature is the programmable function ring which can be assigned various modes.

Battery pack and recording media
The eye handles continuous imaging at 1.9 views a second and will also record video and stereo audio. The digital zoom is silent on the recording audio. The eye features the advanced Optical Image Stabilizer System. Capacity is 164,734 views per card fill. Resolution goes to 3648 x 2736 pixels. Data is saved in compressed or full JPG or high resolution RAW and is fully compatible with Apple OSX Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and iPhoto. The eye interfaces with High Speed USB 2.0, NTSC, PAL, and records in Stereo. The Vid can handle 5-hour stints and has an active optical zoom. (Capture 720p HD 24 FPS video in stereo sound; playback on an HDTV via the HDMI output.) Weight is only 6 ounces (170g) and approximate housing dimensions are 3.93 x 2.3 x 1.16 inches (99.8 x 58.4 x 29.5mm), ideal for both Brain and telescope mounting. Framing is selected from 16:9, 3:2, 4:3, 1:1, and 4:5. The battery used is NB-6L. The image camera can serve as an advanced robot eye, a Big Brain image center, the imaging device for the Ultra Space Program, a satellite imaging unit for launches into space, etc. The interior Canon S95 electronics is similar to the Canon G12 at half the price. (the G12 is larger, heavier, slower, with a smaller LCD display but has more external controls, a flip out LCD and a closer focus macro.) For more information refer to Canon PowerShot S95 information at http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/cameras/digital_cameras/powershot_s95#Specifications

Monetary Investment What does this system cost when exported to overseas markets like Taiwan? The camera lists for US$399.99. A package with camera, one extra original manufacture's battery, LCD protect screen covering, a SanDisk 16GB 30MB/s Ultra Media SDHC1 Card (note: this is currently the fastest, class 10, data transfer card of this type offered by SanDisk), a Digital Cleaning Kit and the dealer service plan was $380.00. Separately added by Humanoido Labs is a specialized sides-reinforced black zippered bag that holds: the camera, one extra battery and the download USB cable plus notes. Note, the hard leather camera case recommended by the seller was not purchased as it had a bolt which did not line up with the camera and could not hold any accessories. www.amazon.com currently sells the camera for US$392.00 without any accessories.

Improvements Over the Previous Eye The new Canon S95 eye represents a great improvement and major upgrade over the previous Big Brain SONY T10 eye. T10 ratings: CCD, Sliding Lens Cover, F3.5 to F4.3, 38mm Lens, 7.2 Megapixel, 2.5” LCD 230,000 Pixels, 3X Optical 6X Digital Zoom (18 combined), 90x55x21mm size, 165 Grams weight, JPG Format, 30FPS Video, Shutter ¼ Sec. to 1/1000 Sec., Movie can zoom, ISO 80, 100, 200, 400, 800, Macro 1cm, 7.4 Million Photodetectors, Tripod Mount, Lithium Battery, 2Gb Sony Memory Stick Pro Duo, SONY Cyber-shot InfoLithium battery NP-FT1.

SONY T Series Announcement
NOTE: According to internet sources, all known SONY T series cameras, such as T10, T20 etc. have a manufacturing defect. Apparently, new or old cameras can develop a lens vibration anomaly rendering the camera useless. A stabilizing lens gyro internally with glue mounts fails. SONY offered a free recall fix in 2011 that has now ended. Camera owners are now left with a very expensive fix, in which in some cases has failed again, or the route to purchase another brand camera.

Summary In summary, the new S95 eye has a faster lens, a more sensitive ISO rating, can take longer time exposures and faster exposures, is about the same small weight, size and has a similar timer, has a 2" macro instead of .75", has a larger brighter display, a larger megapixel CCD imager, adds stereo sound, and has a card with eight times the storage capacity.

Wax Eye

Big Brain Gets a Wax Eye
Now don't say "ewe" too quickly as this simple eye uses technology from optics (a single double convex lens) and a piece of waxed paper from a local grocery store. The wax paper is the image forming element and the lens projects the image onto the paper. A sensor or camera is placed behind the paper and photos the image in real time using macro mode. It works well on brighter objects, terrestrial, the Moon and brighter Planets, depending on the diameter of the lens.

Little Eye Contraption

LITTLE EYE CONTRAPTION
This amazing Little Eye Contraption is a monocular pinhole telescope that uses only one glass lens. Economically it can give the Big Brain a Seeing Eye which it can control. Explore the pinhole lens telescope and see what new things are discoverable..

Overview
In continuing experiments with a variety of eyes and telescopes, the Big Brain has created yet another scope of unusual nature, this time it uses a refracting element as the primary and a tiny pinhole eyepiece created from a sheet of aluminum bakers foil punched with a needle.

Pinhole Size
Make various size pinholes and try to get the most circular possible. This telescope works well on bright objects like the Moon but do not use it on the Sun. If the pin hole ocular is too small, diffractions effects will begin to take place and the image will degrade and become too dim. If the pinhole is too large, a degrading and blurring will take effect. Try experimenting for the optimum conditions.

Finding Primaries
The primary lens is a simple magnifier lens obtained from a dollar store. Experiment with various size diameters and focal lengths.

Increasing Image Quality
Stop down the lens with a circular aperture mask and the image quality may improve substantially.

Make a Zoom Lens
The telescope can be converted into a Zoom by varying the distance between the pinhole and the objective lens. In this example the Brain has used a large magnifying glass as the primary objective to create a refractor telescope.

Enable Inverted Images or Not
You can make the telescope perform with images either upside down or right side up by varying the distance between the ocular and the convex lens.

Electro Imaging
Try using your camera in macro mode or electrical sensor to do some astro imaging or eye work. Use the technique of pinhole projection. If we get results on the Moon if it ever stops raining, we'll report back here with the images. Use a method of photography for terrestrial results.

Future Exploration
Try replacing the pinhole ocular with a piece of wax paper. It will form images of bright objects that can be observed visually or photographed.
