By 2015, Hamann says, the technology—which uses machine learning to extract insights from multiple layers of information—proved itself. Gallo improved yields on the test site while reducing water use. The partnership quickly found another use for IBM’s AI: analyzing a number of variablessuch as proximity to the winery, weather patterns, elevation, days of sunshine, and other factors toidentify suitable locations for new vineyards.

Just some quick notes to let my readers know I am in the process of digesting some new Magic Leap Patent Applications that were published last week.

This application is 272 pages long, and I have only had time to flip through it, so this is all preliminary information, so I am mostly going off the figures.
