LaptopMag recently published an article “Why smart glasses will be the death of VR headsets”, pointing out that the long-term coexistence of headsets and smart glasses due to their different uses may be reasonable, and the prosperity of VR/MR headsets is always possible. However, if everything continues on the current trajectory, smart glasses are likely to kill the mainstream dream of VR/MR headsets and replace them as another major technological event in the computing field after smartphones. Virtual reality has been a part of popular culture since the 1992 sci-fi film The Lawnmower Man, and it wasn’t until 2010 when…
Robots using AI technologies have seamlessly integrated into our daily routines, transforming the way we approach everyday tasks with unprecedented convenience and efficiency. From automating yard maintenance to ensuring our pools are always clean, these cutting-edge machines are redefining modern living. Yard Maintenance Made Effortless One of the most significant ways robots are impacting our lives is through yard maintenance. Traditionally, keeping a garden well-manicured required a variety of tools: lawn mowers, leaf blowers, and snow plows, among others. Each of these tasks demanded time, effort, and often, physical strain. However, the advent of multi-functional yard robots has revolutionized this…

[ad_1] Google’s annual Made by Google hardware event was held earlier Tuesday, and because the company announced so much stuff, a lot got lost in the shuffle. We rounded up some of the more intriguing AI-related announcements that didn’t get a ton of play, like the image-generating Pixel Studio and Pixel Screenshots, which helps save and organize info in screenshots. Call Notes summarizes your conversations For short-term-memory-challenged folks like this writer, Call Notes could be a useful feature. Available on the Pixel 9 family of devices, Call Notes saves a summary of your conversation following a call. The details —…
[ad_1] At Made by Google 2024 on Tuesday, the company launched its new Pixel 9 series of phones. These devices have a ton of AI-powered features apart from having Gemini as the default assistant. The company is adding features for photo editing, plus new apps for storing and searching through screenshots on-device and an AI-powered studio for image generation. Add Me lets the person taking a group photo be a part of it. The company uses a combination of AR and different machine-learning models, and asks the photographer to trade places with someone after taking the first photo. The phone…
[ad_1] The Made by Google 2024 event has reached an end, and after a busy rumor mill preceding the event, we have the full range of announcements and reveals from Google’s biggest hardware event of the year. Notably, this year’s edition is preceding Apple’s typical September iPhone reveal, with a focus on AI that anyone watching any tech event in the past couple years is well familiar with. The event is done by the time you’re reading this, but you can catch up on the livestream archive right here, which kicked off at 10 a.m. PT. Let’s dive right into…
[ad_1] Outside of sci-fi films, there’s no precedent for AI systems killing people or being used in cyberattacks. However, some lawmakers want to implement safeguards before bad actors make that dystopian future a reality. A California bill, known as SB 1047, tries to stop real-world disasters caused by AI systems before they happen, and it’s headed for a final vote in the state’s senate later in August. While this seems like a goal we can all agree on, SB 1047 has drawn the ire of Silicon Valley players large and small, including venture capitalists, big tech trade groups, researchers and…
[ad_1] Suffice it to say that this mountain of evidence from direct sources weighs more heavily than marked-up images from conservative commentators like Chuck Callesto and Dinesh D’Souza, both of whom have been caught spreading election disinformation in the past.When it comes to accusations of AI fakery, the more disparate sources of information you have, the better. While a single source can easily generate a plausible-looking image of an event, multiple independent sources showing the same event from multiple angles are much less likely to be in on the same hoax. Photos that line up with video evidence are even…
[ad_1] Alongside the launch of new Pixel devices, the Pixel phone lineup is getting its own new weather app, powered by AI. Introduced today at the Made by Google event in Mountain View, California, the tech giant briefly showed off the app, which offers a custom AI weather report created by Gemini Nano — Google’s AI model designed for running on mobile devices. With the new app, users “won’t have to scroll through a bunch of numbers to get a sense of the day’s weather,” the tech company touted. Instead, users will be able to customize the app based on…
[ad_1] Google’s Pixel smartphones have long been known for their great camera systems, but in recent years the company has taken to juicing its imaging platform with artificial intelligence features that expand its capabilities. Taking a photo is no longer just about tapping a shutter button and getting a nice picture. Now there are ways to erase undesirable objects, move subjects in your photos and let AI fill in the background, and even remove annoying sounds like sirens from videos. This year’s Pixel 9 series goes even further with more generative AI capabilities that can alter, improve, and generally goose…
