Its founders spotted that generating 3D graphics in video games—then a fast-growing market—placed highly repetitive, math-intensive demands on PC central processing units (CPUs). Although Nvidia’s first chips were used to enhance 3D gaming, the manufacturing industry is also interested in 3D simulations, and its pockets are deeper.
The PlayStation 5 will have one selling point Sony thinks might be important to fans who are on the fence about upgrading to a new generation of gaming console: exclusive titles, playable only on the new hardware. Of course, that's been true of pretty much every past console generation of the last three decades.
3D printing can be a time-consuming and expensive hobby — even if you try to do it on the cheap. But what if a truly consumer-ready 3D printer changed that? And Anker is claiming “advanced algorithms that align your printing with your course of action.”. For me personally, speed isn’t my biggest frustration with 3D printing.
Well, technically, it’s a Famicom, which is the same hardware in different packaging for Japan. Of course, it was adding 3D functionality and special effects, not ray tracing.) As you can see from the video demo above, the tech on the SNES isn’t pushing any graphics boundaries, but come on — it’s an SNES.
Acer is finally bringing its glasses-free 3D SpatialLabs tech to a laptop you can buy: the company has officially announced the ConceptD 7 SpatialLabs Edition. Announced earlier this year, SpatialLabs combines a suite of hardware and software features. Image: Acer. There’s only a single display option, naturally: a 15.6-inch
The second video shows off the very similar “Samsung AR Glasses” concept, though this time it’s letting the user “see” 3D digital objects appear in the real world, a visual that should be instantly familiar to you if you’ve ever seen any of Microsoft’s HoloLens marketing.
That could include a flat screen that always stays in the center of your vision, a grid of icons pinned to a specific point in space, or a 3D game board resting on a physical desk. On the other hand, Nreal Light projections look much less convincingly 3D than HoloLens or Magic Leap images. This involves some tradeoffs, of course.
It should keep the click-wheel of course, but I can’t stop thinking about how good an iPod, designed for the age of music streaming, AirPods, and high-res displays would be. Most of, if not all, of Apple’s devices also can’t play the highest-end lossless files that Apple Music can now deliver without additional hardware.
A lot of the metaverse hype has been built around what you’ll do there, be it virtual reality meetings, digital concerts , and of course, blockchain and NFT-based integrations. Of course, Intel also has a vested interest in saying that we need more and better computers and servers.
But the most important change with these two phones isn’t actually the hardware itself; it’s after years of creeping prices, Samsung has finally reversed course, with the S21 and S21 Plus actually starting at $799 and $999, respectively, this year. There is a 12-megapixel ultrawide camera, of course.
Towards this objective, there is no doubt that technology could impact and change how the construction industry works now and of course, in the future. 3D Printing. 3D printing is one area where new technology can help quite a bit. 3D printing helps in the design and planning of big homes, apartments, and projects.
We saw this design in renders, reportedly leaked CAD files (which act as a 3D blueprint for products), and even heard that it’d be happening from noted Apple reporter Mark Gurman two days before the event. With this rumor, though, it’s possible that just the timing was off, and that Apple will release them at an (of course!)
Of course, data center challenges are also driving demand for these alternatives. Yes, specific AI workflows require special hardware configurations. To create a productive, cost-effective analytics strategy that gets results, you need high performance hardware that’s optimized to work with the software you use.
Meta’s most obvious connotation, of course, is with the metaverse itself. Zuckerberg also highlighted his company’s efforts to build new products for the metaverse, including new virtual and augmented reality hardware, highly realistic digital avatars, and new video game experiences.

Like many driving fanatics and even professionals, Chang uses a tricked-out home simulator and practices on race courses in the online video game iRacing. Facebook parent company Meta has staked its future on the 3D-connected evolution of the internet. Chang’s simulator is like those at GripWerx Racing in Redmond, Wash.,
WebCodecs is built to avoid overhead, making it easier to get the incoming video stream onto your screen as fast as possible, potentially with the help of hardware decoding. Of course, we probably won’t be seeing experiences powered by WebCodecs or WebGPU for a little while. Both technologies have their place outside of gaming too.
Before joining Al Ghurair Group, he worked for Saeed & Mohammed Al Naboodah Group based in Dubai for seven years leading the digital charter of the organization by exploring the business potential of new technologies such as RPA, AI, IoT, 3D printing and others. What was your first job in the IT industry? Explain your career path.
Notably, the TemPad also offers the ability to automatically animate and then project those drawings as 3D holograms, a decidedly unique feature compared to most other mobile hardware. It’s an incredibly useful feature, one that helps make up for the TemPad’s limited application support, lack of an App Store, and poor hardware design.
We’ve talked to IKEA, and they have 3D images of their furniture line. And of course you experience them like you’re really there. Instantly education becomes much more powerful when every subject comes to life in 3D. Apple’s AR hardware is perennially two years away. Even we can’t predict what’s going to come out.
It was just as clear when games evolved to support 3D worlds and, later, HD graphics. One of the most surprising things about the PS5 hardware has been how quiet it is. Of course, the PS5 is virtually brand-new, and it’s entirely possible it will get noisier over time. Your eyes told you this was something new. It was obvious.
They are, of course, powerful enough to run whatever productivity tasks you might throw at them. And, of course, even these mid-range chips come with a fairly substantial downside: battery life. Hardware-wise, not much has changed since the XPS 15’s last significant redesign a few years ago, which you can read more about in our review.
Brinc is headquartered in Seattle’s Fremont neighborhood, where the company’s drones are both designed and manufactured, with help from fleets of 3D printers. Of course, a profile about Resnick’s uncommon way of thinking wouldn’t be complete without a question about his hair. “For sure.
It’s not hardware like an iPhone. We want to increasingly blur the distinction between 2D and 3D access to the metaverse. Of course, as you say, you’re legless. Of course, it’s rudimentary, and we’ll look back on it in 10 years time and think it’s almost comically rudimentary. But of course, many other people do.
Colbert starts the first demo of the day by framing the demo around the concept of a doctor moving through various devices and applications over the course of a day. The demo spans a Mac in the doctor’s office, an iPad that he carries with him, and a thin client leveraging rich 3D graphics functionality.
As someone who used a Switch Lite for a couple of years, though, I actually think Ayn’s hardware is better. The only real complaint I have about this hardware is the goofy Odin logo underneath the D-pad. The Odin’s design inspiration is pretty obvious: it’s basically a Nintendo Switch Lite running Android.
Of course, you can see the time, and there are a few simple watch faces to choose from. Because the hardware is so simple, most of Amazon’s special sauce is in the Halo companion app. That’s then turned into a 3D model of your body that you can rotate. On the wrist, you can’t do much beyond the basics. That’s about it.
The big problem, of course, is that nobody knows how looking at the world through a screen and only a screen could screw up your brain and your relationship with society. The hardware isn’t there yet or we wouldn’t have to wear heavy ski goggle-shaped headsets and carry battery packs in our pockets. So it’s chiefly an indoor toy.
Then I headed to my default Oculus 3D home screen, a virtual room that looks like a tropical hotel lobby with palm trees, hanging egg-shaped chairs, and views of red rock mountains in the distance — a definite upgrade from the decor of my 500-square-foot studio apartment. Why Facebook is going after the metaverse.
It showed them being used by musicians, 3D artists, and developers in its presentation , and the message was clear: these are products for creative professionals or people who aspire to be creative professionals. Which is, of course, why this isn’t the first time we’ve seen companies use the word “studio” to market similar products.
Of course, you can also play games on the Aero 15 — after all, it has the hardware for it. That hardware doesn’t come cheap, though — the Aero 15 OLED starts at $1,699 and the model I tested is $2,699. You can turn surround sound on and off in the Nahimic “3D Audio for Gamers” software that comes preinstalled.
Of course, the learning process is much tougher, but the outcome is definitely worth it. Evaluate system compatibility Make sure your video editor functions seamlessly with your computer’s OS and hardware since video editing is a process that requires considerable power from your system.
I can tell you that many on our staff here at The Verge are absolutely dreading being made to click through 3D software models of booths like we’re playing the worst Myst remake ever. I do wonder how they sound, of course. Sony is going to start selling its Mandalorian-like virtual set displays. I’ll take two.
Of course, that’s an impressive feat. 3D interface design is difficult and expensive, and there are few people with the necessary design skills to overcome these issues.”. As of now, consumers have limited options when choosing AR/VR hardware. On top of that, the hardware is clunky and expensive. Availability and access.
The downside of course is you have to pay for this one; it’s $1.99. The data I want secured I use SkyDrive , but of course there is no PlayBook app for that. While the graphics aren’t mind-blowing, the game is now 3D as you have to defend a space station! Blaq – [ view ] A fantastic Twitter app.
Anyway, one year there was this weird hybrid of hardware and software challenge. So it's kind of in between the sort of software and hardwarehardware if you listeners aren't familiar with it. Could you build this like a 3d model that we think would be really cool to show people like, we just want a board scoreboard.
(A very good paper by Glue Reply is on models of valuation of data as an asset ) Or, consider valuing a company for its customer database, not just for hardware sales… a great recent example is Google’s acquisition of Fitbit. there's a lot of data in there, of course. Per Motley Fool, “.there's Fitbit collects all this health data.
The hardware dial to rotate your array of virtual monitors across that wall of screen looks awesome, too, reducing the need to rely on special windowing software to get work done. There needs to be more than 3D renders. Samsung is doing NFTs now because of course it is. Sean Hollister, tech reports editor. Image: Samsung.
Of course, no one likes to talk about this immersive and interactive virtual world more than Facebook CEO — sorry, we meant Meta CEO — Mark Zuckerberg. Rapid development in 3D, AR, VR, new hardware, digital payments, etc., We’ve certainly heard a lot of chatter about the metaverse recently. Has this changed?
Complicating matters further, the company was also slow in securing the right kind of chips needed to scale AI projects, leaving it playing catch-up to its competitors on a key piece of hardware. Another factor that’s holding Meta up has to do with the hardware necessary to run powerful AI systems.
Chung developed the curriculum and conducted training for the government’s in-house futures course, Futurecraft. She led a research project on the Future of Data and investigated topics such as 3D printing, social enterprise, and the evolving role of the state. Twitter: @DrWendyDE. Bridgette Engeler. Location: Melbourne, Australia.
The hardware that’s spread across Portal’s lab tells you that the four-year-old venture is no typical business-park tenant: In one corner, there’s a gleaming vacuum chamber where components for Portal’s solar thermal propulsion system are being tested.
And of course, there’s Amazon, which dominates online retail. And the advantages of that, of course, were that it was inexpensive, it was fairly easy to get up and running. So for example, for a while, ghost guns were technically legal, a 3D printed gun was technically legal. So we were very clear that that is not acceptable.
