With technology advancing at a rapid pace, it’s easy to lose track of what we can and can’t do. This is particularly true when we look at the unexpected ways you can try the most interesting new types of technology for free.
Making Artificial Intelligence Art Online
The news headlines have been filled lately with stories of how artificial intelligence (AI) could change our lives. AI will continue to be widely used in research projects that we don’t hear about in the mainstream news, but other stories show how it’s getting used in a variety of other, more accessible ways.
Among the most eye-catching recent events, we can see that an AI-generated painting of famed mathematician and Enigma codebreaker Alan Turing was sold for $1,084,800 (£836,667) at auction by Sotheby’s. This large-scale painting was carried out by the Ai-Da Robot, which makes it the first piece of art by a humanoid robot to get sold at auction. Not everyone has access to an AI artist like this, but there are plenty of websites that let you sample the potential of AI art.
Sites likeFreePik and Openart encourage you to type in a prompt and then tweak the image that’s generated using a variety of tools. In most cases, you get a free trial period with a certain number of days or images before you’re prompted to move to a paid service if you want to continue making AI art.
Online Slots With No Deposit
Slot machines have been popular for a long time, but the move to online versions has gained traction in recent years as new themes and features have been introduced. This has led to a huge selection of slots being offered on the internet, but you might not have realised that it’s possible to play some of them for free.
A look at the online casinos that offer welcome bonuses includes names such as 888 and PlayZee. These sites offer no deposit free spins for new players, meaning that it’s possible to sign up and start playing without adding any funds. Wins still pay out real money, but you meet the playthrough requirements listed in the terms and conditions before any cash can be taken out.
Some of the latest titles at the time of writing show how the themes used in slots are becoming more diverse. Big Bass Xmas Xtreme takes players on a festive fishing trip, while Spirit Wolf Wins takes place in the great American wilderness. Other new releases include Nordic Winnings, Fruit Shifter and Book of Books.
Live Streaming for Different Audiences
You’ve almost certainly carried out some sort of live streaming as a viewer, with many types of entertainment now available in this way. From sports to live shopping and virtual museum visits, it’s possible to get transported from your smartphone or laptop to many different settings instantly.
While it’s free to view many live streams, you might not know that making your own streams and putting them online can also be done at no cost. This guide to streaming live on YouTube shows how easy it is to get started on a platform where more than a billion hours of content are viewed every day.
Facebook Live and Instagram Live give you different features as well as access to varying audiences. If you’re planning on live streaming for business purposes, there are plenty of paid tools and services you can choose for a more professional approach.
The Metaverse Without a VR Headset
The metaverse was previously viewed as a promising technology that seemed close to going mainstream, but interest has since decreased. Yet, it hasn’t disappeared, and the truth is that it’s now easier than ever to enter the metaverse, where real life and virtual reality (VR) are blended.
A VR headset enhances the experience, but it isn’t strictly necessary. You can simply enter the metaverse from any internet-connected device and create an avatar. You’re then free to explore the virtual world. Earlier this year, BBC Ventures announced a new project with the Condense streaming platform, with plans to record live events and then convert them into a 3R render that visitors can explore using their virtual avatar.
All these exciting types of technology should continue to evolve and offer us new ways of trying them, but for the moment, getting started for free is a smart move that anyone can try.
