Despite The NFT Implosion, Artists Still Believe
|
Remember NFTs? The digital drawings of (mainly) cartoon monkeys that were bought and sold for millions in 2021? Amid the global crypto crash, they’ve fallen from grace as quickly as they sprung up. In September, trading volumes in digital art and collectibles recorded on blockchains had plunged 97% from a record high in January. Sales on OpenSea, the largest NFT marketplace, fell for a sixth consecutive month in October.
But one area where there’s still demand — and hope — for NFTs’ enduring commercial use is among artists. Using blockchain technology — the tech that NFTs are built on — to trace, authenticate and create new forms of art has been an area of interest for collectors and artists for years, even before the recent NFT craze. And despite the fall in crypto prices, some artists say they still haven’t found any other income streams as valuable as NFTs.

Students Tap Into Tech Design Through Internships
|
What if an application on your phone could use augmented reality (AR) to identify the caloric value of a meal by simply taking a picture? At the University of Miami, a team of students, in collaboration with faculty members, are working to make “AR Calories” a reality.
AR Calories is among several emerging technologies that students can work on through internships and apprenticeships with the University’s Department of Information Technology (UMIT). As part of the Innovate team, students learn to build and execute AR and extended reality (XR) experiences, including faculty projects funded by the provost’s XR Initiative. Faculty members who receive these grants are exploring ways XR can be implemented to enhance teaching and research and to revolutionize advanced medical treatments.
