The new Sony Bravia OLED A1 television series comes with 4K display, High Dynamic Range (HDR) support and has a new image processor as well.

Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro to feature swim tracking, offline Spotify support:

Gadgets launched in India recently Samsung GearFit2 Pro

Samsung is believed to be hard at work on its next-generation wearable device, dubbed the Gear Fit2 Pro. While some reports have said the Gear Fit2 Pro will be a slightly more polished version of the Gear Fit2, other scattered reports suggest the wearable will be an all-new device. Ahead of the August 23 launch,  reputable leakster Evan Blass via VentureBeat has revealed even more details about the upcoming wearable.

According to Blass, the Gear Fit2 Pro will Gadgets launched in India recently Samsung GearFit2 Probe an enhanced version of the existing Gear Fit2, which was launched in June last year. Its design is similar to the Gear Fit2, and generally speaking, the new model should be seen as a ‘Pro’ version. Just like its predecessor, the Gear Fit2 Pro retains a curved AMOLED screen and is based on Tizen OS, although it will be compatible with Android and iOS devices.

The report says the new model will come packed with a built-in GPS – after all this wearable is being pitched as the ultimate fitness tracker. Moreover, the fitness tracker will also get offline Spotify music playback feature. This could be an important feature for some users. At the moment, Samsung Gear S3 is the only other wearable to offer this functionality.

Apple TV with 4K, HDR support in the works:

Apple is expected to launch a more advanced version of the Apple TV set top box that supports 4K content. A report from MacRumors suggests that iTunes could soon start offering movies in 4K and HDR, meaning a new model of the Apple TV is on the way.

Gadgets launched in India recently Apple TV

In a discussion forum on the MacRumors forums (via Apple Insider), users have spotted that recent films like Passengers and Fantastic Beats and Where to Find Them had ‘4K’ and ‘HDR’ mentions in both rented and owned sections of the films. However, given that there is no 4K support on iTunes yet, it appears that Apple could add ultra high-definition support in the near future. This can be said because users were able to download movies in 720p or 1080p resolutions.

It’s safe to assume that Apple is planning to come with the new version of the Apple TV with ultra high-definition (4K) support. Earlier this year, in February, Bloomberg reported that Apple could launch the fifth-generation Apple TV as early as this year. The next-generation Apple is internally code-named ” J105″ with support for “more vivid colours”. Apple hasn’t confirmed the arrival of the fifth-generation Apple TV into the market.

Apple TV has been a moderate success for the Cupertino-based company. The company’s late co-founder Steve Jobs originally called the Apple TV business as a “hobby” because there was no market for streaming devices during the time.

1More Piston Fit:

Companies like SoundMagic and MEE Audio, among others, have been selling quality audio products at very affordable prices for a while now. Thanks to them, you can now find some really good solutions that excel not only in terms of audio quality but also in build quality and aesthetics.

 Gadgets launched in India recently

1More is another such brand in the business of selling quality audio products at cut-throat prices and has even lent its talents to companies like Xiaomi. It has an official presence in India, and today, we’ll be looking at its entry-level offering called the Piston Fit. These in-ear headphones retail at Rs. 999 and come in a variety of colours. Let’s see how good they are against budget champs like the OnePlus Bullets V2.

The chambers of the Piston Fits earbuds are built using aluminium, which makes them light and sturdy. The Space Grey version looks good, but you can also have a pair in Silver, Rose Gold, or Blue trims. The metal casings have a ‘CD lining’ texture on the surface, which looks nice but attracts lint and other microparticles that can be tough to clean. The ear tips are tilted at a 45-degree angle, which makes them comfortable to slip into your ears.

There’s a 1.25-meter cord that’s made of soft rubber and is said to have a Kevlar fibre wrapping. It doesn’t tangle easily and terminates in a gold-plated 3.5-mm headphone jack. You also get an inline microphone and a single button remote for answering calls as well as controlling media playback, but you can’t adjust your phone’s volume level. The drivers have a frequency range of 20Hz to 20,000Hz and an impedance rating of 32 Ohms.

The earphones come in a simple package. You only get extra ear tips in various sizes, but these feel very flimsy and don’t provide a good seal when you wear them. The Piston Fit doesn’t ship with a carry pouch, which isn’t that big a deal considering its price. 1More boasts of high-quality materials used in the assembly of the Piston Fit, and we have no complaints about the cord or the inline remote either, although volume controls would have been useful.

This what Lionel Messi said to Sergio Ramos after Trolling him over threw ball over his head

Lionel Messi and Sergio Ramos were involved in a foul-mouthed spat during Wednesday night’s Spanish Super Cup second leg.

Real Madrid beat Barcelona 2-0 on the night, sealing a 5-1 aggregate victory over both legs , and the Barca players were visibly frustrated.

Their mood wasn’t helped by Madrid captain Ramos, who took every opportunity to wind up his opponents.

what lionel messi said to sergio ramos

At one point, Messi tried to get the ball off of Ramos to take a quick free-kick. The defender looked as though he was going to hand the Argentine the ball but, at the last moment, through it over his head instead.

Frustrations boiled over for the Argentine No10 when Sergio Ramos failed to hand the ball over for a Barcelona free-kick.

Real Madrid’s skipper tossed the ball over Messi’s head prompting Barcelona’s captain to yell: This is What Lionel Messi Said to Sergio Ramos “La Coucha de tu madre!”

Even non-Spanish speakers may be familiar with this phrase as it is a unpleasantly regular insult in Spain and among footballers in particular.

Disney’s Magic Bench Puts You in the Picture with Animated Figures

Disney’s Magic Bench

Disney’s Magic Bench designed by Disney Research lets you interact with endearing animated characters  and no special glasses or headsets are required.

Instead, the complete environment — the seat, the sitter and the cartoon humanoid animals  is mirrored on a screen opposite the bench, making it possible for others to watch the scene unfold.

Disney's Magic Bench

How does the illusion work? A camera and sensor capture images and gather depth information about physical objects — the bench and the person — that algorithms integrate with the 3D animations, the researchers wrote in a study. Meanwhile, haptic sensors built into the bench deliver vibrations that are synchronized to animated actions on the screen, creating the illusion that the animated figures are occupying real-world space next to the user.

Augmented-reality overlays animated elements into views of the real world, typically by using special optical devices or mobile technology. However, one of its limitations is that its illusion can be glimpsed by only a single user. The Magic Bench allows groups of people to gather in a single environment and collectively participate in an augmented- reality experience, all at the same time, according to the study authors.

Disney's Magic Bench

Sitting on the bench triggers the augmented-reality experience, introducing a character into the scene. In a video demonstration, a small cartoon donkey trots into view and kicks the bench, generating a sharp sound and making the seated person jump in surprise. Another test shows two people on the bench, reacting as they “feel” an animated rabbit leap up beside them and jump up and down. When a user passes his hand over the rabbit, a shadow moves across its head — as though it were occupying the same physical space as the person next to it.

Researchers used the real-color camera and the depth and color sensors in a Microsoft Kinect to capture the real-world scene of the Magic Bench and the person (or people) on it. Rebuilding them in 3D places the bench between a foreground and background, which can then be populated with whimsical characters. But the Disney engineers discovered that if the reconstructed 3D scene were viewed at an angle, missing data and a small difference in alignment between the camera and sensor created gaps in the image known as “depth shadows.”

To eliminate these depth shadows, designers layered another element into the scene — a 2D background captured by the Kinect’s RGB camera, which seamlessly aligned with the scene when viewed head-on, the study authors wrote.
