Honda's Safe Swarm concept has cars mimicking fish for safer driving
Jan 05, 7:00PM
Honda is looking to nature to improve the safety of driving, using bio-mimicry of the behavior of a school of fish to inform a new technical concept it’s unveiling at CES called Safe Swarm. Safe Swarm uses vehicle-to-vehicle communication based on the dedicated short range communication standard to provide assistance to a human driver. Safe Swarm essentially means that cues picked up by… Read MoreCrossing the AI chasm
Jan 05, 7:00PM
Every day brings another exciting story of how artificial intelligence is improving our lives. But for every AI success story, countless projects never make it out of the lab. That’s because putting machine learning research into production and using it to offer real value to customers is often harder than developing a scientifically sound algorithm. I call this “crossing the AI… Read MoreHonda's Riding Assist gives motorcycles balance tricks from its Asimo bot
Jan 05, 7:00PM
Honda’s new Ridiing Assist motorcycle model isn’t a shipping product yet, but it is an impressive technical demo. The concept at CES showed how it can help motorcycles traveling at low speed maintain balance, something which is particularly tricky for even experienced drivers. Speeds between 2 and 3 mph actually prove among the most challenging in terms of making sure a… Read MoreHonda's NeuV is a mini electric concept car with emotional intelligence

Jan 05, 7:00PM
Microsoft’s Surface Studio was one of 2016’s surprise hits. It was a sort of one-two punch that arrived the same week that Apple released its new MacBook Pros to mixed reaction. Microsoft had seemingly come into its own as a producer of series hardware for content creators. Dell previewed its own solution shortly thereafter by way of a quick online trailer. When we met with the… Read MoreDear 45th President: Protect the United States by protecting the global web
Jan 05, 6:30PM
As the next US administration takes office modernizing our approach to cyber security is vitally important. The current approach is still largely based on an antiquated defense vs. offense framing of information security. In fact that the Web is a global resource that must be treated as such to sustain our economic growth and stability and that means avoiding binary definitions of online… Read MoreDeepMind's updated AlphaGo has been secretly savaging pro players online
Jan 05, 6:27PM
Pokémon GO might have been the most talked about “Go” game of 2016, but the world of AI remains fixated on another Go — AlphaGo. Last spring, Go-playing AI AlphaGo made headlines when it defeated world champion Lee Sedol. Now AlphaGo is in the news for another reason. DeepMind’s freak of computing has been anonymously vanquishing the world’s top Go players… Read MoreThe U.S. Department of Labor is suing Google for compensation data
Jan 05, 6:22PM
The U.S. Department of Labor recently filed a lawsuit against Google in an attempt to obtain compensation data from the tech giant as part of a routine compliance evaluation.

Jan 05, 6:19PM
Last year DJI took a minority stake in Hasselblad, the iconic Swedish camera company. The companies also announced a partnership to work together on high-end camera drones that would combine DJI’s drone aerial technology with Hasselblad’s cameras. Now Luminous Landscape has reported, and multiple industry insiders have told TechCrunch, that DJI has acquired Hasselblad, not… Read MoreBlockstack, formerly called Onename, just raised $5.3 million

Jan 05, 5:00PM
Last year, Triby became the first non-Amazon product to integrate Alexa functionality. But what, you’re no doubt asking, has the company done for you lately? After all, since that announcement, countless other products have followed suit, and these days we’re up to our necks in voice-controlled vacuum cleaners and refrigerators, right? At this year’s CES, Invoxia is firmly… Read MoreGoogle Calendar integrates with Google Fit and Apple Health to help you stick to your fitness goals
Jan 05, 5:00PM
With Goals, Google launched a new Google Calendar feature last year that allowed you to easily schedule and track certain goals you set for yourself. Right in time for people to forget their New Year’s resolutions, Google today announced an update to Goals and Google Calendar that allows you to connect Google Fit and Apple Health to the fitness goals you set in Goals. Once you hit… Read MoreFather-to-be uses VR to 'meet' his daughter before she's born
Jan 05, 3:52PM
Of all the potential use-cases for VR, Samuli Cantell has arguably come up with the most unusual after persuading his pregnant girlfriend to undergo 4D ultrasound scanning of their unborn child in order to generate a 3D model that could then be placed in a Unity environment and viewed in VR. Read MoreVirZOOM mashes up VR, Fitbit and exercise bikes to bring vSports to the masses
Jan 05, 3:01PM
Strapping a VR headset to my face and taking a seat on an exercise bike isn’t my idea of fun, but fun was exactly what was served up when I tried out VirZOOM’s platform. A cycling game was obvious, given the input mechanism, but a flying pegasus and a tank game were not. The games were both eye-openers in terms of taking exercise and VR, making it more than the sum of its parts. Read MoreSegway's first robot launches to developer partners

Jan 05, 2:16PM
Timelapse photography is fun, but complicated. For long-term projects, you need to feed power to the camera, and if you want your photos back, you need to rig up a data gathering solution. That changed when Enlaps came along. The company just finished a successful IndieGoGo campaign, raising $250k for its Tikee camera. Read MoreYubiKey goes USB-C
