[ad_1] Using 218 participants and a pair of AR goggles, researchers led by Professor Jeremy Bailenson conducted three experiments.

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.

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.

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 […]
How Android Q supports 5G apps and why you should care
[ad_1] What he didn’t expect, back when he was helping define 4G, was that video streaming would explode in popularity the way it did and become the most obvious benefit of the new network technology. “4G made it possible to do video streaming, which was not conceivable before,” Grilli told Engadget at Google I/O this […]
