[ad_1] The simplest way a wearable can track your activity is by using a gyroscope (or similar) to track the position of your hand in three-dimensional space. It can then, algorithmically, infer where your body is, and what it — and you — are doing, using what is essentially very smart guesswork. Pedometers that count […]

Companies distanced themselves from foldable phone hype at IFA
[ad_1] LG, for example, is staying far away from folding screens, despite having a real rollable OLED TV that people can buy. It announced the LG G8X ThinQ here in Berlin, where it opted to use two separate 6.4-inch panels for its dual-screen flagship. We’ve seen LG, ZTE and many others attempt this format already, […]
Audio-Technica’s $99 true wireless earbuds sound amazing
[ad_1] I immediately noticed the small size of the ATH-CK3TW buds themselves. These things are pretty tiny, which means the included charging case is also quite compact. Even with the smaller size, Audio-Technica didn’t leave out on-board controls. There are touch options on each side that allow you control volume, skip tracks and take calls. […]
TCL is experimenting with a personal cinema visor
[ad_1] Unlike Sony, Avegant and Royole’s offerings, TCL has shrunk the technology into a pair of relatively svelte sunglasses with a polarizing filter on top. Sound comes out of speakers embedded into each arm, and the headset connects over USB-C to a compatible (TCL) phone. Rather than this being a device that you only use […]
Panasonic’s high-contrast dual LCD does a great impression of an OLED
[ad_1] What you’re looking at here is not an OLED but a complicated dual panel LCD monitor. It has a 4K outer panel with a monochrome inner panel that modulates an LED backlight. The system, which is made up of multiple optical sheets and layers, can dim the picture at the pixel level, the kind […]
Watch Huawei’s IFA 2019 event in 11 minutes
[ad_1] Even if you somehow managed to get up to watch Huawei’s IFA 2019 keynote, what you saw likely didn’t give you a jolt of energy. That’s because compared to past Huawei keynotes, the company’s latest had a more subdued atmosphere. With a US ban that’s unlikely to lift anytime soon, Huawei’s Richard Yu wasn’t […]
Sony’s WI-1000XM2 wireless earbuds cater to the neckband crowd
[ad_1] The WI-1000XM2 packs the same QN1 chip from the WH-1000XM3. Sony says it not only does a better job blocking out sounds around you, but the component uses less power for noise cancellation. Indeed, I had the chance to put that to the test at Sony’s busy IFA booth. I can assure you active […]
Sony’s headphone app will soon analyze your ears for 360 audio
[ad_1] The Sony Headphones app is already the place you adjust noise cancellation, tweak the EQ and make other changes to its line of audio gear. It was nice to see the company will most likely put this 360 Reality Audio calibration tool inside that app. I have enough things one my phone, and I’m […]
ASUS’ ProArt StudioBook One is a breathtakingly powerful laptop
[ad_1] The StudioBook One is part of ASUS’ massively-expanded line of ProArt laptops, designed for “creative professionals.” The company, like many, is trying to steal a slice of Apple’s MacBook Pro pie now that the laptops have been beset by gripes around its performance, battery life and keyboard. Most notably, ASUS has crammed NVIDIA’s headline-grabbing […]
Diesel and Emporio Armani also release new Wear OS watches
[ad_1] Each of these devices is styled in the aesthetic that’s inline with its brand. The Emporio Armani watch, for example, has a lighter, sportier look and prominently features the signature eagle logo on custom watch faces. Meanwhile, the Diesel On Axial looks more industrial, with touches like rugged pushers, steel rivets, an aluminum core […]
