[ad_1] Parallux’s chief creative officer Kris Layng said, “We came up with this idea for Cave, which we thought was the solution to a lot of problems that are in this emerging industry right now.” The first issue: You can’t scale in VR experiences yet, he said. Existing systems aren’t capable enough to handle the […]

Commercial drones are way more popular than the FAA expected
[ad_1] The percentages are impressive, but it’s worth bearing in mind that the actual numbers aren’t huge: the total number of commercial drones registered with the FAA now sits at 277,000. By contrast, there are about 1.25 million personal drones in the US, expected to rise to 1.4 million by 2023. In that same year, […]
The Oculus Rift S, reviewed
[ad_1] How much whipping is too much whipping?Making a pickle-infused cake, for science Foam this, foam that. At restaurants and bars alike over the last few years, you’ve probably seen seemingly random ingredients transformed into fluffy clouds of decorative.. something, thanks to the whipping siphon. But what’s going on inside the darn thing, and can […]
Dust storms may have stolen all of Mars’ water
[ad_1] At one point, Mars had a thick atmosphere and up to 20 percent of its surface was covered by liquid water, scientists figure. Around 4 billion years ago, however, Mars lost its magnetic field and with little to protect it from destructive solar winds, the red planet lost much of its atmosphere. That left […]
YouTube Music for Android can play your local song collection
[ad_1] There are limits, at least in the current iteration. You can’t add local tracks to playlists or queues that include YouTube Music songs, and you can’t cast local songs elsewhere. Not surprisingly, the playback controls also remove YouTube-specific features such as the like and unlike buttons. If those aren’t deal-breakers, though, you now have […]
Card skimming hack targets 201 campus stores in North America
[ad_1] The perpetrators appear to be unique among Magecart-using groups at this stage. They not only don’t share much in common with other groups, they crafted their attack specifically with PrismRBS’ software in mind. There might even be a custom receiver system instead of a ready-made skimming kit popular among cybercriminals. PrismRBS said it had […]
VW’s eGon is a driveable, educational EV skeleton
[ad_1] The eGon will make its debut at Hanover’s IdeenExpo, a youth-focused science and tech show, between June 15th and June 23rd. VW is hoping to not only inspire the younger crowd, but to attract potential recruits. It’s not certain if the stripped-down machine will venture elsewhere. However, it wouldn’t be surprising if VW and […]
Israel is the first to respond to a cyberattack with immediate force
[ad_1] The Israeli military believed the strike represented a decisive blow, claiming that “Hamas has no cyber operational capabilities” after their building was destroyed. The airstrike wasn’t completely surprising when Israel has been responding to hundreds of rocket attacks from Gaza militants over the past few days. It’s in the midst of an active conflict […]
US Air Force successfully shoots down multiple missiles with a laser
[ad_1] You won’t see the technology used in-air for a while. The USAF only gave Lockheed Martin a contract in 2017, and the first airborne tests aren’t expected until sometime in 2021. It would likely take a while after that before the system could find its way into service. Provided the technology works as promised, […]
EU set to investigate Apple over Spotify’s competition claims
[ad_1] Both tech companies have declined to comment on the report. Apple, however, has already rejected Spotify’s assertions. It argued that Spotify was really driven by “financial motivations” and wanted to benefit from the App Store’s infrastructure without contributing to it. The firm also rejected notions that it was privileging Apple Music on a software […]
