autocalibrates the entire sensor rig instantly
You calibrate infrared sensors and map full-body movement for VR simulations. You write scripts to sync tracking data.
The one thing AI can't do
You alone understand why the rig clips through the floor when the user sneezes.
Your enemy, your name, your date. Post it.
Step by step, from the first quiet change to Deprecation Day.
Week 4
Sensors now self-calibrate their spatial coordinates without your manual input.
Month 6
Vision models identify and label marker clusters without noisy data cleanup.
Month 15
New physics engines predict body poses faster than human-coded solvers.
Year 2
Smart filters negate ambient interference automatically in any lighting.
Year 2.6 · D-Day
The foundation releases you and switches to a fully autonomous suite.
What you cost, what the machine costs, and what you get on the way out.
