If you missed Ridley Scott’s Napoleon in theaters, Apple says it’ll be available to rent and purchase digitally starting on January 9th. There’s still now word on when it’s hitting Apple TV Plus, but Apple’s other big historical epic — Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon — will be streaming there starting January 12th.
Last week Qualcomm announced a new AR/VR chip and reference design aimed at competing with Apple’s upcoming headset; yesterday Xreal (formerly Nreal) debuted some new spatial computing glasses with the same goal. And today the two companies announced a multiyear partnership that could include:
AR external hosts and processors; purpose-built devices and experience categories, such as fitness and sports; and artificial intelligence integrations.
A little vague, I’ll admit! But both companies have long AR track records and have worked together before, so as partnerships go, it’s a safer bet than many.
LG showed off a “digital cockpit system display AR / MR platform AI and 5G telematics technology” AlphaWare concept at CES today. It includes its Automotive Content Platform, which puts LG software on screens throughout cars, and uses AI to do things like recognize drivers or detect when kids have fallen asleep.
The company says the software is based on webOS and integrates with automakers’ infotainment systems.
The company has announced that it’s building its first US-based charger production factory in Texas “in response to the growing demand for EV charging stations across North America.” LG also plans on rolling out 11kW and 175kW EV chargers, along with 350kW fast chargers in the US this year.
It kicks off at 12PM ET, and you can watch the livestream on YouTube. Right now, it features some great muzak.
During the LG press conference at CES, Google VP of engineering Erik Kay took the stage to announce that LG TVs released in 2024 will now come with Chromecast. That means you’ll be able to cast videos, music, games, and more from your phone to your TV.
LG said that while announcing its new home appliance subscription, which “lets our customers select options and services of their choice,” during its CES presentation today.
As part of the subscription, LG says appliances will automatically update with features that are tailored to their owners’ needs, using on-device AI. The service debuted in Korea last year, and is now coming to the US.
Judging by what I saw at Unveiled, we’re all anxious, none of us are sleeping well, and the key is to hack your brain with a wearable. I found all three of these devices in the same aisle.
The Frenz Brainband reads your brainwaves and then uses bone conduction to play a personal soundscape into your skull. You stick the Mywave on your forehead for a night to generate custom sleep tracks based on your delta waves. Meanwhile, NeurGear’s ZenBud is a headset that stimulates your vagus nerve to help you chill.
Honestly could’ve used something to help me sleep last night.
