OMAR MOHAMED ALY ELTABLAWY's Reflection
This was the last industrial talk to attend during this semester. That's why I was curious and excited to participate in this ask. Significantly, I am a mid-level data scientist; data visualization is one of the essential steps to understanding the data flow. In addition, this helps to do the feature engineering step later. For this talk, the speaker focused on only the data visualization from the perspective of the data analysis. he gave us a brief introduction about several tools that have been used in data visualization like tableau and power bi ., but he focused on power bi only. Then, he gave us a briefing about using it and generating a dashboard that shows our work. I learned many things during this session, and I enjoyed it.
This talk was an interesting one because it is related to the things that we use in our daily life, which are 5g and wifi 6 . the speaker started to discuss the 5g and said that 5G networks would provide 50x more speed, 10x less latency, and 1,000x more capacity than 4G/LTE.1 This means 5G will be able to connect more devices and transmit more data than ever before, delivering fast connectivity and significantly enhanced user experiences. As with LTE, mobile carriers will offer subscriptions to their 5G network, which requires 5G-capable devices. And for wifi6. Wifi Wifised on the IEEE 802.11ax standard will deliver 4x higher capacity and 75 percent lower latency, offering nearly triple the speed of its predecessor. Wifi wifinyone can operate wifi—and most of it us have one in our homes and offices, connected to broadband service. Wifi Wifiices require a wifi wifimpliant access point to get the full speed, latency, and capacity improvements. This was a great topic, and I enjoyed it.
This talk was terrific because the speaker discussed all the components Network infrastructure refers to all of the network resources that make network or internet connectivity, management, business operations, and communication possible. Network infrastructure comprises hardware and software, systems and devices, enabling computing and communication between users, services, applications, and processes. Anything involved in the network, from servers to wireless routers, comes together to make up a system’s network infrastructure. Network infrastructure allows for effective communication and service between users, applications, services, devices, and so forth. This was amazing, and I enjoyed this talk.

Responding:
I believe the webinar has discussed significant points related to IR4.0. Therefore, I will respond to the speaker's essential, crucial statements. First, it is mentioned that market forces are driving digital transformation in business across all verticals. From my point of view, it is true. However, these businesses are so competitive. For example, digital IT infrastructure such as Microsoft Azure, AWS, and google cloud platform. These Infrastructures present innovative business modal that enables them to take over in the global market. In addition, they offer a differentiated value proposition to beat competitors and continuously enhance customer experience.
Secondly, successful digital transformation requires A solid digital infrastructure foundation. I think digital transformation goes beyond standard sales, marketing, and customer service functions. Digital transformation, on the other hand, starts and ends with how you feel about and interact with customers. With digital technology on our site, we can rethink how we do business as we move from paper to spreadsheets to innovative applications for managing our businesses.

Webinar insightful notions were not all new to me personally. This webinar discusses TM holistic solutions and IR4.0 advancements as a critical knowledge element. I have a decent understanding of IR4.0 technological advancements such as smart city technology and robot.
Integrated technology because I was studying and reading about IR4.0 from my first year in college.
Secondly, I had a little understanding of 5G. I gained my experience from the network communication class. Our professor explained 5G technology and back generations in a simple form to us, and it was astounding. From that experience, I got interested in networking.
Thirdly, according to Mr. Nazri, the digital webinar transformation is essential for the fourth industrial revolution. He explained that digital transformation is necessary to meet the current demands and follow up with technologies. Similarly, I have pretty long experience in web development. I used web development to develop and transform the existing manual system into digitalized applications where users interact and get meaningful output.
Reasoning:
The webinar highlighted many significant factors that should be considered as a software engineering student. First, the guest speaker talked about the significance of the IR4.0 switch, which is challenging and requires power and funding. As a student, I always got the ideas to automate real-world manual systems into digitalized systems. However, following up with IR4.0 requires understanding advanced technologies usage and cost of transformation and whether the stakeholder is already open to the new technologies or stick to the old technology.
Another essential aspect that the speaker has mentioned is the intelligent water integrated management system. This aspect is necessary and valuable. He said that billions of gallons of water are being wasted, which needs to control by new technologies of IR4.0, which guide people to more moderate usage. However, following this aspect gives individuals a higher chance of engaging more with technological devices that control water usage. Therefore, I realized the importance of IR4.0 integrations because it is a guaranteed means to effectively stop wasting water from houses and guide people to use.
Reconstructing:
Webinar key points were presented inconsistent manner guest speaker delivered the presentation with real-world examples, making it engaging and exciting to the audience. Discussion about IR4.0 adoption areas, successful digital transformation, IR4.0 connectivity challenges, Smart city technology, and intelligent water integrated management system has been an essential and eye-opening experience that someone should ponder upon. I have learned a lot from this webinar and realized IR4.0's future capabilities and its enormous challenges and needs to incorporate a lot of effort and time to reach optimal capabilities in my field of IR4.0 ultimately.
In a nutshell, the webinar was informative and insightful in many aspects ranging from digital transformation to IR4.0 connectivity.

Then Dr. Ruzimi talked about The Future of Augmented Reality Expected revenue by industry by 2025. That will be $ 11.6 BILLION on Video Games, $ 5.1 BILLION Healthcare, and many other predictions. Then he played a video talking about The Future of Augmented Reality in 10 Use Cases which are Education, Appliances, Furniture, & Other Large Products, Clothing & Fashion, JARVIS-Like Virtual Assistance, The Creation of The Metaverse, Outdoor & Indoor Navigation, Healthcare, Automotive Industry, Sporting Events and lastly Virtual User Instructions & Assembly Instructions. Then he talked about the 10 Skills for Future Jobs – IR 4.0. These are Complex problem solving, Critical Thinking, Creativity, People Management, coordinating with others, Emotional intelligence, Judgment and decision-making, service orientation, negotiation, and Cognitive flexibility. After that, he discussed 6 Common positions in Augmented Reality work. Most augmented reality jobs available today are best described as existing job titles with an AR descriptor. Typical roles include (AR/VR content developer, AR/VR content strategist, AR/VR user experience designer, Designer animator or sound artist specializing in AR & VR, AR/VR community manager, AR/VR project manager). Then he talked about three key areas where humans beat machines that are key to future job creation: creative endeavors, everything from scientific discovery to creative writing and entrepreneurship, social interaction. Finally, he mentioned that robots don't have the emotional intelligence that humans do. The last area where humans beat machines is Physical agility and mobility, millennia of hiking mountains, swimming lakes, and dancing practice gives humans extraordinary agility physical dexterity.

Responding:
I believe the webinar has discussed significant points related to the Augmented Reality field. So, I will respond to the most critical statements from my opinion made by Dr. Ruzimi, which are crucial. The first point that I want to respond to is the consideration that the person should consider when choosing his career; I think the point the Dr. Ruzimi mentioned is the most critical point in the talk from my opinion what makes me feel this way is that I remember when I graduated from the high school, I spent a lot of time searching about fields trying to choose an area that I like and in the same time it is a good field which will make me find a job in the future and grow up in my career I searched a lot about this thing. I had read many articles to decide which field I was going to study until finally, I decided that I would study Software Engineering. So, after I attended this talk, I hoped that I knew these things at that time. Dr. Ruzimi has mentioned the most important five things to consider when choosing your career, which is first, Study data science and get a job in data, secondly, choose a job that robots still cannot do OK – focus on jobs that require skills like creativity, problem-solving and connecting with people on a human level. The third thing is to keep in touch with the job market to get an insight into which jobs are in demand and their average salary. The fourth consideration is being data-savvy and learning how to use data to make decisions and solve problems. And the fifth and last important consideration is to get familiar with artificial intelligence.

Webinar insightful notions were not all new to me personally. However, in this webinar, the discussion was mainly about Augmented Reality. In the last four months, I have been interested in the field of XR. In general, XR refers to Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, or Mixed Reality. Then I have searched a lot about this field, and I have read many articles to know more about this field. So, after a lot of research, I understood more about Augmented Reality, and it is the field that most attracted me among these three. Then the new semester began, which is my sixth semester, and I am taking my final year project one this semester. So, I had to decide the idea of the project and give the proposal to make my last year's project something related to Augmented Reality.
Reasoning:
The webinar highlighted many significant factors that should be considered as a person interested in the Augmented Reality field. Which are the problems that may face the Augmented Reality developer while working? As Dr. Ruzimi said, it is not a problem that will face just developers. These problems will face the Augmented Reality field in general, and if this field is going to be as Dr. Ruzimi expected in the future, the developers in this field have to overcome these problems. One of these problems is the plane finding the smartphone-specific process by which ARCore determines where surfaces are in your environment and uses those surfaces to place and orient digital objects. ARCore looks for clusters of feature points that appear on joint horizontal or vertical surfaces, like tables or walls, and makes these surfaces available to your app as planes. ARCore can also determine each plane's boundary and make that information available to your app. You can use this information to place virtual objects resting on flat surfaces.
Reconstructing:
So, at the end of this talk, I can say that I have gained a lot of information about an essential field like Augmented Reality, which I am very interested in. And I have made a clear vision of the future and what I should have learned and improved myself to grow up in my career in this field.
In a nutshell, the webinar was informative and insightful in many aspects ranging from digital
transformation to Augmented Reality.
This industrial talk was terrific because it discussed one of the critical trends in computer science lately and became so popular to use. Cloud computing has recently become an important technology that helped all organizations offer better services for users. The speaker in this talk mentioned only one type of cloud computing technology: the "AWS" amazon web service. However, he discussed several feature and benefits that AWS offer to use. This topic was great for me and gave me a new motivation to learn this technology and apply it to my final project.
This industrial talk was one the most beautiful discussions that I have ever attended. The speaker talked about the fourth industrial revolution and the aspects that developed through the time that helped humanity. The speakers focused on Ai, machine learning, and data science and how these topics enabled them to solve vital crimes in the community regarding the investigation organization's evidence and data. This topic was important and exciting to me. It motivated me to become a data scientist in the future to help people and the community.
This was the first time introduced for any technologies based on cloud computing. So we have gone through a fundamental course about AWS. We studied ten modules till we got our badge and certificate that we can use on our linked in. we have gone through the start of AWS ad how it works till the end explains how to make the AWS secure and suitable for the organization's purpose. So for me, that was an excellent opportunity to learn new technology and concept like that. For me, I studied each module for almost 3 to 4 days; in my opinion, all organizations need to move to use AWS, but for UTM students, in my opinion, I suggest the students who need to need to learn student in the third and fourth year, not first-year student, they don't know a thing about the technologies and how they are going to use AWS. But in general, it was a great chance to learn AWS.
