Audio player loading… Nothing's inaugural Ear (1) earbuds were, let's face it, a case of style over substance sonically. Glossy images of Nothing’s futuristic near-transparent units, with very friendly lady bugs perched atop the case, suggested quality and detailed workmanship – and there's no denying that due care an attention was taken in making them look good. The feature set – including Nothing's commendable new app – was better still, and the Nothing Ear (1) Black Edition brought Bluetooth 5.2 and improved the ANC to levels rarely seen at that price. IPX4 splash-proofing was also a nice touch, and the little red dot on the right earpiece made me wonder why other manufacturers don't offer this simple embellishment, but sound quality is ultimately the making or breaking of a set of wireless headphones and here, Nothing Ear (1) still fall short of the best wireless earbuds in terms of timing and neutrality across the frequencies, as well as for bass grip … [Read more...] about I’d swap AirPods for Nothing Ear (2) earbuds if they can improve in these four areas

La GoPro Max 2 commence à se dévoiler, pour le plus grand bonheur des vlogueurs
Cela fait bien plus de deux ans que la première GoPro Max est arrivée avec l'objectif de s’imposer sur le marché restreint des caméras 360° - et de nouvelles demandes de brevets suggèrent qu'une GoPro Max 2 pourrait enfin être en route pour tenir cette ambition. Les derniers dépôts de brevet GoPro (opens in new tab) , qui ont été publiés par le United States Patent and Trademark Office le 30 juin, contiennent des descriptions détaillées du type de fonctionnalités logicielles que proposerait le successeur de la GoPro Max. Les brevets mentionnent " un cadrage des vidéos en fonction du contexte ". Le logiciel " déterminera quelle(s) partie(s) de la vidéo peuvent être supprimées ou raccourcies car trop longues ". C'est le problème que GoPro cherche apparemment à résoudre, les brevets comprenant quelques exemples différents de la façon dont cela pourrait fonctionner. Si les dépôts ne citent pas nommément la GoPro Max 2, elles incluent le visuel d'une caméra 360° qui … [Read more...] about La GoPro Max 2 commence à se dévoiler, pour le plus grand bonheur des vlogueurs
I let someone else control my hands using gloves designed for VR headsets
Audio player loading… Trying out haptic wearables at the 2022 Goodwood Festival of Speed in the UK gave me the opportunity to immerse myself in VR games in a tactile and exciting way - my whole body could touch and feel digital objects as if they were real. That was wild and then, with some haptic wearables for my hands, things got weird. While trying out the Teslasuit – a full-body haptic suit that was the most immersive VR device I’ve ever used – I also got to wear the Teslasuit Gloves. Much like the full-body Teslasuit, the Teslasuit Gloves are designed to work with the best VR headsets to make experiences more real using haptics. To do this, it borrows elements from the Teslasuit design. The glove has electrodes placed against each of your fingertips that can output a current from 1mA to 80mA in different patterns to stimulate your muscles and mimic real sensations. The glove kicks things up a level though with a new trick: force feedback, which works in … [Read more...] about I let someone else control my hands using gloves designed for VR headsets

US selects four encryption algorithms to protect against future quantum attacks
Audio player loading… The US government has chosen four new encryption (opens in new tab) algorithms that should be able to protect secret digital communications from being decrypted by immensely powerful quantum computers. There is fear in the wider cybersecurity community that the current encryption standards, protecting much of today’s digital communications across both private and public sector endpoints (opens in new tab) , will be rendered useless once quantum computers take off. The four encryption algorithms will become part of the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) post-quantum cryptographic standard, the organization said in its announcement, adding that the standard should be finalized in “about two years”. Post-quantum cryptography “Today’s announcement is an important milestone in securing our sensitive data against the possibility of future cyberattacks from quantum computers,” said Secretary of Commerce Gina M. … [Read more...] about US selects four encryption algorithms to protect against future quantum attacks
