Bloomberg ’s Mark Gurman reported in his Power On newsletter that the company is looking at these options as ways to bring the cost down to between $1,500 and $2,500 for a lower-end model. Apple Vision Pro , which is set to begin shipping in early 2024, currently starts at an eye-watering $3,500. In an earlier report, Gurman said the cheaper Vision Pro would […]

The Nintendo Switch Online library just got a bit beefier, thanks to the addition of four classic Sega Genesis titles. The subscription-based classic games platform is now host to Ghouls ‘n Ghosts, The Revenge of Shinobi, Landstalker and Crusader of Centy , joining around 30 pre-existing Genesis titles and many more NES, SNES and Game Boy releases. That’s right. Sonic and Mario are friends now. For the uninitiated, Ghouls ‘n Ghosts is a tough-as-nails platformer that still gives nightmares to adults of a certain age. The Rise of Shinobi is a serviceable entry in the OG ninja-simulation franchise. Landstalker […]

Researchers at the University of Maryland have turned eye reflections into (somewhat discernible) 3D scenes. The work builds on Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF), an AI technology that can reconstruct environments from 2D photos . Although the eye-reflection approach has a long way to go before it spawns any practical applications, the study (first reported by Tech Xplore ) provides a fascinating glimpse into a technology that could eventually reveal an environment from a series of simple portrait photos. The team used subtle reflections of light captured in human eyes (using consecutive images shot from a single sensor) to try […]

The size is perfect, it’s ridiculously fast, the display looks great … I could go on and on. Simply put, it’s a phone that’s done everything I’ve asked of it, and it’s given me very little reason to look for a new go-to smartphone.

Since ChatGPT debuted in November, hundreds of millions of people have experimented with the online chatbot, which can answer questions, write poetry, draft emails and riff on almost any topic from inside a web browser.

Unlike the browser-based version of ChatGPT, the smartphone app responds to voice commands, operating a bit like Apple’s Siri digital assistant or Amazon’s Alexa.
