Explorando Yucatan i6, DAY 2 (ESP) // Exploring Yucatan i6, DAY 2 (ENG)

English

Hello again to everyone at Hive and Geekzone community!

Today I share with you my experiences from the SECOND day at YUCATAN I6, the largest technology event on the Mexican peninsula. This year's edition was especially exciting, with a variety of presentations and demonstrations highlighting the latest technological advances.

At Yucatan i6 today I'll be showing you about:

GAMING
VIRTUAL REALITY
DRONES
3D PRINTING
WALKING BOTS

I hope you enjoy my tour on the second day of YUCATAN I6 as much as I did.

GAMING

Today was, without a doubt, an amazing day for video game lovers. There was a wide variety of activities to enjoy, including PCs and consoles such as Xbox and Nintendo, and retro games, available for anyone to play at any time. In addition, there were even more exciting options, such as Formula 1 simulators equipped with steering wheel and pedals.

I had the opportunity to try one of these simulators, and although I've never driven an F1 car in real life, the experience felt surprisingly realistic. The vibrations, the movement of the steering wheel and every detail made the simulation authentic and exciting.

VIRTUAL REALITY

I had the opportunity to try the Meta Quest 3 virtual reality glasses, improved from the Meta Quest 2 I tried last year. At the virtual reality booth, I was shown an exact replica of the pyramid of Chichen Itza, one of the 7 wonders of the world. The experience was impressive; virtual reality never disappoints, as it makes you feel completely immersed in the place.

DRONES

For drone lovers, there was an impressive exhibition dedicated to these devices. Although I am not very familiar with the world of drones, I find their technology fascinating, and it is amazing to see how they are becoming more and more present in our daily lives. The exhibit included drones of all kinds, and there was even a racing simulator that allowed you to experience the thrill of piloting a drone in a competition.

3D PRINTING

One of the most impressive booths this year was the 3D printing booth. They exhibited an incredible variety of works, from small characters and toys to large replicas of dinosaur fossils. The precision and detail of these pieces were truly impressive, showing the enormous potential of 3D printing technology.

In addition to these impressive replicas, one of the highlights of the booth was the display of some very popular and important chairs for Yucatecan culture, called “confidentes.” These chairs, traditional for their design and symbolism in the local culture, were recreated using 3D printing. The comparison between traditional and 3D printed chairs highlighted not only the fidelity of the replicas, but also how technology can preserve and reinvent important cultural elements.

I leave you with photos so you can see what the original chairs and the 3D printed versions look like, and appreciate how technology can transform and honor our traditions.

WALKINGS BOTS

We came to my favorite part of the event: the robots. Throughout the tour, you could see robotic dogs walking, doing tricks, jumping, and performing various tricks.

In addition to the robotic dogs, there were little carts with eyes running around the event area. These carts interacted with attendees in fascinating ways, responding to movements and emitting sounds that seemed to give them a personality of their own. It was strange and at the same time fascinating to see machines that seemed to have life, as if they were actually interacting with us and not simply following a pre-set program.

This experience left a strange but exciting feeling, a mixture of admiration for technological advances and an insatiable curiosity for what the future holds for us in the field of robotics.

And that concludes our tour of YUCATAN I6! I hope you enjoyed this glimpse of the technological marvels that were presented at the event. From immersive virtual reality and drone exhibits to impressive robots and fascinating 3D printing, each area offered something unique and exciting for all attendees.

Thank you for joining me for this experience and for being part of this exciting Geekzone community.

See you soon!
