Technology does away with Longnose selfies – Engadget German


In selfies are – do beauty experts among you will know, the – the lugs always something disproportionately large because the camera so best if sitting in an arm’s length distance. A new Technolgie Princeton University in cooperation with Adobe (the latter suggests to us that since sometime even an app on the march is) leaves the now correct an image and change digital as if you shot it from a greater distance. Result: more real noses, wider cheeks, etc.

And as a bonus, as the technology creates a 3D model in the background, even the head position can easily modify, or create a simple moving picture (compare the makers that with Harry Potter Portraits).

can on the project website you can even upload your own image and test this before, but it shows that the algorithm some work has still to come, because especially when hair is something furry.

What comes after smartphone and tablet? A Munich start-up might have the answer.

Startups access times for the stars and sometimes has to serve supernatural to give them a name. In Norse mythology, Bragi is the god of poetry, who welcomed the fallen heroes in the heavenly Valhalla. “The greatest thing that has to happen was to get to Valhalla,” says Nikolaj Hviid. The 41-year-old Dane and as such familiar with the world of the gods old Vikings. He has also founded a startup in 2013 in a Munich cellar and called it Bragi. “At the beginning I was alone, after five months of the first employees, the end of 2013 we had 15 arrived,” said Hviid. Today Bragi has 150 employees. If all goes well, it is the end of 2017 fourfold. That sounds great confidence

.

The only limit is the imagination

The hope of Bragi is just 13 grams, fits into a human ear and is paired marketed under the name the Dash. One could call the earplugs as wireless headphones with Bluetooth connection. Hviid calls a discrete assistant in the form of a mini-PCs. For The Dash has not only a four-gigabyte memory, but also its own operating system. There are also sensors, pulse and other body functions measure or register head movements. Today, you can use the device to listen to music, as a collector of health data or headphones for a smartphone.

sets limits the applications but only the imagination of a programmer. The Bragi-founder is not short it. About his motion sensor be prodigy could even drive a wheelchair, audition sounds and give singing lessons or warned at the light sensor from dangerous UV rays. Because his discreet helpers also let ambient sounds, he could help coordinate mission critical as man in the ear of policemen or firemen. “We are still at the beginning,” estimates Hviid.

The intelligent earplugs produced since the spring, are a piece of portable technology as a Google glasses, a watch or a fitness bracelet that just make under the collective term wearables furore. “Wearables are today but more toys, we want to make tools,” said the Dane. In addition, the earplugs have what it takes, even replace mobile phones. “We have a part of the solution for what comes after the Smartphone,” says Hviid and can affect the meaning of these words once. Scene-magazines like “Business Punk” already believe that, The Dash could be the next big thing after smartphone and iPad.

Today’s television screens will not occur there forever, says Hviid. They would, in the form of smart contact lenses go directly on the eye and the phone just as minicomputers ear. A necessary for voice control for The Dash was in labor and in the next five years we will be able to call it and without additional phone, the Bragi founder is confident. “Connect me with my wife”, say a Dash-carrier then to himself, and shortly thereafter it was audible in the ear. By voice one could then cite the self-propelled car of the future to be, or order online flowers and without going through a Google search engine, which the person who has such an interface to the customer opens a gigantic fees cornucopia. In this vision would be Bragi.

“I think that’s very realistic,” said Vodafone spokesman Dirk Ellenbeck to views that Bragi device can even replace the smartphone. Since April, the telecommunications company is the first nationwide Bragi-partners. Meanwhile, Amazon and the German Telekom are in the boat.

The Dash is a particularly innovative product that opens up many possibilities, praises the Telekom. This included, simultaneously to obtain a translation of the national language on vacation via headphones in the ear. The miniaturization in telecommunications stride continues further emphasizes Ellenbeck. Therefore is a miniaturized telephone in size of earrings no devil. “Wearables are the future”, also appreciates the Vodafone expert.

have believed at the ideas Hviids other. Good $ 3.3 million revenue have The Dash 2014 made the most successful crowdfunding campaign in Europe. 20 million euros have contributed private investors, which now 40 percent belong to Bragi. The majority holds Hviid. 600,000 pairs of his headphones he wants to deliver by the end of this year and reached in 2017 approximately 150 million euros. Profitable one is already. For even faster growth teres he seeking another 100 million euros from investors. Then Bragi could increase the staff to 600 people and provide the gas.



“I play to win”

Are the investors less generous, go there just slower. Failure no longer threatened, soothes Hviid. This stage did Bragi behind. Either you go eventually to the stock market or they would buy of potent United Konzenen. Although the technology is protected by 150 patents. But Hviid are no illusions. If a telephone giant like Apple or Samsung seriously throw an eye on Bragi, the chance of it alone is low.

By this, what future version he preferred the Dane can however be no doubt. “I play to win and not just to be around here,” he says combative clear.

Apple Watch 2: new, thinner display technology> Macerkopf – Macerkopf – Apple News from Cupertino



30th July 2016 | 9:45 | 0 Comments

Sooner or later Apple will present the Apple Watch. 2 If this is the case in the autumn of 2016, or at least until the Frühjhr 2017? Compared to the iPhone 7 there for Apple Watch 2 relatively few rumors, so we have to wait and see

 apple_watch_test5

for the weekend, however, emerged a new rumor for Apple Watch 2. It is said that Apple on the so-called “One Glass Solution” (OGS) rather than on the Glass on Gass (G / G) technology is set. This has Digitims able to find out from Apple Zulieferr TPK Holding.

When One Glass Solution is dispensed with a glass layer as compared to the traditional Glass on Glass technology. This would mean that the used display glass is thinner and Apple provided the housing remains unchanged in size, at the same time has more interior space of the device available. This could be for a bigger battery, additional sensors, etc. are used.

According to TPK Holding production of OGS displays for Apple Watch 2 is still a little bumpy, as it has to deal with production problems.

The large loss for the second quarter what Mainly Because touch panel orders for iPhones continued to decrease, and Apple wants to change touch panel technology from G / G to OGS (one glass solution) in the new Apple Watch to be launched in the second half of 2016, TPK said. The change in touchpanel technology Involved unexpected technological difficulties and THEREFORE yield rates for OGS touch panels were much lower than expected, TPK explained ‘.

It is generally expected that Apple in the design only slight changes compared to the first generation of Apple Watch will make. A faster processor, more powerful chips and a reduced dependence on the iPhone are expected. In addition, Apple is likely to place one or the other new sensor.

Investment in mobility now and in the future to the key issues and decisions for businesses belong. Thus we see in mobile B2B solutions a promising growth market, we want to continue to selectively expand.

What expectations make for especially business users to their mobile work
Lekic:
Basically? Users want comfort; Company security. Thus, the key requirements for mobile work tools in the business environment are briefly described. Our mission is to bring both into compliance. Only in this way can mobile working to increase the company’s productivity and at the same time the satisfaction of employees. Here, the mobile technology developed into an increasingly important success factor for employers. Because especially for highly crosslinked, highly innovative, staff is important modern technology in the workplace.



Our approach to technology development begins by the user in focus. When it comes to the use of mobile devices in business environments, in addition to the intuitive operation especially features such as long battery life and sufficient storage capacities are important for users.

For the company first is the safe use of mobile tools in the foreground. However, the enterprise-wide management and the ability to customize mobile Android devices to each business unit, are important. With Knox we have developed a secure mobile platform that IT departments are extensive control over corporate data. At the same time, it allows users to switch to mobile devices between work and personal content – without compromising privacy.

In addition to mobile security architecture we offer companies the ability to customize devices to their industry and the individual needs and provide for a dedicated user interface. Another essential component of a modern and secure enterprise IT are Mobile Device and enterprise mobility management solutions. In order to offer this, we have teamed up with partners like BlackBerry, MobileIron and Airwatch. Under the new Enterprise Device program we offer companies also regular security updates, as well as a two-year product availability for new business smartphones and thus an improved ability to plan for the IT department.



To what extent is the Samsung portfolio to products and solutions enhance the future to advance the B2B segment?
Lekic :
We develop our mobile portfolio continuously continue to support digital transformation processes in the B2B sector. We see ourselves as a catalyst for companies in terms of technology trends and offer our partners more than just smartphones and tablets. With wearables, the Gear VR and Gear 360, we have created a new mobile ecosystem that we can serve. In particular, underlines the theme of “Virtual Reality” (VR) our potential in the B2B sector. We are already working with German companies on new VR applications in the B2B environment and are pleased with the demand in this area. In this rich usage scenarios from use in training to new formats for the entertainment industry. Together with our partners, we help companies profitably integrate VR technologies in business environments to link with existing infrastructure and adapt to individual needs.

Our partner network we use as a strategic pillar also across the entire B2B sector in order to advance the solutions business. Our clients also benefit from the opportunities of our convergent overall portfolio, which in addition to mobile terminals and display technology, Storage and Printing Solutions, which can be combined into integrated solutions. It is our goal, with mobile technologies to make the workplace of the future sustainable and thereby penetrate into areas where mobile applications were not possible until now – for example in hazardous areas in industry.

At the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona you have i.a. the smartphone models Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge presented. Which group of buyers feel free to contact with these
Lekic:
In everyday life the phone now plays a vital role – both private and professional lives?. So it is vital for us to develop smart phones that meet the needs of users to a mobile lifestyle. With the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge, we are addressing a broad audience – even among business users.



To what extent there at all new designs and innovations at an almost saturated mobile market
Lekic:
Samsung alone has 2015 14.1 billion US dollars in research and development (R & e) investments – around 38 million US dollars per day. We are thus according to Strategy & amp; Analytics again the company with the world’s second highest rate of investment in this area. Approximately 25 percent of all employees work in the 36 R & amp; D centers worldwide. These figures show how important is innovation for our company. This claim, we represented still in the mobile market. We focus in particular on the market for premium devices. However, it is time to see the smartphone in the context of new mobile ecosystem: It is and remains the central hub in mobile cosmos – but with the progression of wearables and VR solutions to develop new mobile areas, where the potentials and the mobile market overall give wings.

With the new Galaxy Tab Pro S the company a Windows device presented in a long time. How did it come to this decision
Lekic:
Microsoft has always been a very important partner for us. From this long-standing partnership, a new product has been created that expands our portfolio. We found early on that changed the traditional PC market. Especially for mobile working, the demand continues to grow and it is distinguished from currently a clear trend towards Convertibles: Half notebook, half Tablet they offer the possibility of mobility and productivity combine optimal. With the Tab Pro S we make this trend towards mobile working with. The 2-in-1 device combining mobile Samsung technology with the productive capabilities of Windows 10. And it shows that we are now able to offer slim, lightweight mobile devices, with or without a keyboard and pen the needs of users justice and give them more – and especially more flexible applications – offer a classic notebooks.

The market for 2-in-1 device – the so-called Convertibles – is highly competitive. Where do you position yourself in the new model
Lekic:
We were able to expand further in the past year our market share in the “Tablets”. We will continue to see great potential in this area. The development of the Galaxy Tab Pro S was an important step to enhance our portfolio. We speak so aware of an audience that is looking for a device for mobile working.



“Virtual Reality” is the latest since the appearance of Mark Zuckerberg in Barcelona a topic. What applications do you see for the future
Lekic:
The applications of virtual reality technology in a business environment are virtually unlimited. With VR, we develop realistic digital experiences, inspire the new business models and to revitalize existing business models. Already today, there are numerous application scenarios that illustrate how profitable to Virtual Reality can use – whether in therapy, as new formats in the entertainment industry or as part visionary store concepts. At this year’s Roadshow For example, we used VR to stage solution worlds and to give our partners a virtual stage. During the physical exhibition structure was seen only in Cologne, the exhibition was brought to life in other cities for visitors through a VR tour.

And the view of the application scenarios of the future is exciting: Today VR technology is used in travel agents in order to give a realistic taste of the holidays. Tomorrow we might go completely virtual: With VR headset surrounded by matching Geräuschs- and smell scenes the holiday experience comes into the living room – then read scenarios in future reports. It is clear that VR brings revolutionary potential. This also many companies already recognized, and especially in the B2B sector, the demand for VR technology is currently enormous.
