Interactive AI Holograms: Develop a Digital Double Assistant with Oracle Database 23ai Select AI, Vector RAG, OCI Speech AI, and Audio2Face MetaHumans
Ask questions about anything, including public and/or your private data, as you would with a person, face-to-face, talking with natural speech, and using AI. Spoken words, text, spatial/3d, pictures, and video are returned by the holographic MetaHuman to answer your questions. That is the goal achieved in this solution and built using Oracle Database 23ai.
Developing an AI bot powered by RAG and Oracle Database
In the realm of chatbots, where responsiveness and knowledge are paramount, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) offers a compelling solution. This approach combines the power of large language models (LLMs) with the precision of database retrieval, making chatbots more informative and up-to-date. This blog explores the process of building a full-stack RAG chatbot using Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Generative AI and Oracle Vector Database, all orchestrated by the versatile Python language.
Develop XR With Oracle, Ep 7: Teleport Live 3D Objects From Ray-Bans to Magic Leap, Quest, Vision Pro, and 3D Printers
The objective behind the solution described in this blog was to be able to share live 3D objects captured by one person, using “normal-looking” glasses, with another person who can then view them in XR (AR, VR, or MR) and/or 3D print them and do so with a similar experience as to what exists today for 2D pictures and 2D printers.
Developing Event-Driven, Auto-Compensating Transactions With Oracle Database Sagas and Lock-free Reservations
Sagas are difficult to develop, in large part due to the complexity of compensation logic and lack of support for increasingly event-driven microservices. Here we solve these issues.
