- ISRO And Mapmyindia Will Collaborate To Build Indian Alternative of Google Maps.
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has inked an agreement with MapmyIndia to develop mapping and other location-based services in the country. The initiative taken by ISRO in collaboration with MapmyIndia could prove to be an alternative to Google maps which has a monopoly in the mapping services in the country, the Indian Express reported. The MapmyIndia CEO Rohan Verma was quoted as saying that the indigenous company will play a responsible role in the field and depict the maps and borders which reflect India’s true sovereignty as per the Government of India.
Verma also said that the move would help the company integrate the huge catalogue of ISRO’s satellite imagery and earth observation data to provide more detailed and comprehensive mapping solutions to the people of the country. He further said that the collaboration between the ISRO and MapmyIndia would turn into a pathbreaking milestone in attaining the goal of Atmanirbhar Bharat.
- Google Photos For Android Got Advanced Video Editor And More Premium Features.
With the update, Google Photos on Android now has more than 30 controls, including the ability to crop, change perspective, stabilize, and apply filters. Users can also change the brightness, contrast, saturation, and warmth of videos just like you would an image. If you don’t own video editing software, or you don’t have experience with more powerful programs, the new features in Google Photos are a good way to get started.
In addition to new video editing features, the search giant is also adding more premium photo editing features to Google Photos. That includes some of the editing features that were previously exclusive to Pixel phones. These effects include portrait blur, portrait light, and color pop and are now more widely available on other Android devices for Google One subscribers.
- NASA To Deploy Fitbit To Help Fight Covid-19 Among Its Employees And Astronauts.
NASA will provide 1,000 of its employees, including 150 astronauts, with Fitbit devices in a pilot programming designed to see if they can help supplement efforts to keep these mission-critical personnel healthy ahead of key space missions. The program will see NASA employees outfitted with a wearable and provided access to a daily check-in app they can use to log potential symptoms, as well as their body temperature and other key health metrics, which could potentially help spot developing cases.
NASA has already been taking measures to isolate astronauts and to limit or prevent the spread of COVID-19 across its facilities, which are located across the U.S. It has of course followed local guidelines and requirements regarding COVID-19 protections, but it also introduced its own level-based system last year and implemented remote work protocols for many employees wherever possible. On the astronaut side, it has also beefed up existing isolation and sequestration procedures that are already quite strict in order to guarantee that its spacefarers don’t get sick before they’re set to make a trip to the International Space Station.
