[ad_1] Before 2014, eBay had some automatic translation options, but it seems the use of AI has been a boon for sellers as it’s said to have improved translation by around 10 percent. The AI only affected search queries and listing titles (and not product descriptions), but it seems that more accurate translation helped people […]

DJI Osmo Action review: A worthy GoPro rival
[ad_1] Let’s be clear: This might be DJI’s first foray into this exact space, but the company has been making cameras since at least the Phantom 2 Vision in 2013. Most of its drones come with one built in, and the Osmo series of handhelds has been quietly growing in popularity for a few years. […]
Augmented reality can change your behavior in the real world
[ad_1] Using 218 participants and a pair of AR goggles, researchers led by Professor Jeremy Bailenson conducted three experiments. The first showed a realistic 3D person called Chris sitting on a real chair in the room (AR layers digital images over the physical world, rather than creating a whole new world like VR). Participants had […]
Lego dives into the Upside Down with a ‘Stranger Things’ play set
[ad_1] You’ll have to be a fairly loyal fan of the streaming series to pick this up. It’ll cost a sizeable $200 (£180) when it ships on June 1st, or May 15th if you’re a Lego VIP member. And if you’re a completist, you’ll probably be wondering why you can’t buy a Barb minifig or […]
The Mercedes all-electric EQC is luxury first, EV second
[ad_1] In the Norway countryside last week, I drove the first real electric vehicle under the Mercedes brand. The Smart sub-brand might have been electrified years ago, but to be honest the FourTwo EVs were a far cry from the type of luxury we’ve come to expect from the company. Plus, Smart is being phased […]
Citroen’s futuristic autonomous EV concept is designed for long trips
[ad_1] Each design element was purposefully selected, though, so we’d have to take a ride in the 19_19 Concept before we can say whether adding curves to the cabin in order to create more elbow and shoulder room was worth it. Some features, like the roof-mounted LIDAR systems with interior reading lights suspended below, were […]
Netflix has plans for E3 beyond its ‘Stranger Things’ game
[ad_1] Netflix’s NX Twitter account, which covers all things supernatural and sci-fi, kicked off the conversation by asking E3’s account if it could get an invite to the show. When E3 responded positively, Netflix revealed it has “some gaming news in the works,” and the two companies announced a panel called Bringing Your Favorite Shows […]
Korg is working on a new DIY digital synth, no soldering required
[ad_1] According to a report from Sonicstate, the device is part of a product line called Nu:Tekt, a group of DIY gear from Korg that you assemble yourself. On a website for Nu:Tekt, there are two devices listed: a headphone amp and an overdrive pedal, both of which use Korg’s Nutube vacuum tube technology. Nutube […]
Lenovo is working on a ThinkPad with a foldable display
[ad_1] The pen was responsive, though I generally find Samsung’s S Pen smoother. I felt some slight drag when scrawling letters on the 4:3 screen, but given we were only using an early prototype, I hope this will get better by the time the ThinkPad launches. The device isn’t just for you to use in […]
Hanu Labs’ Stone vaporizer hits like a ton of bricks
[ad_1] The Hanu Stone is the first portable vaporizer from Hanu Labs, which grew out of VapeXhale (makers of the Cloud EVO tabletop vaporizer). Now, whereas most vape pens still mimic the cigarettes and joints they were designed to replace, Hanu Labs drew inspiration for their vaporizer’s design from nature — specifically skipping stones. With […]
