Yi Technologies, a subsidiary of China’s Xiaomi, recently announced a new product caled the Yi 360 VR Camera. As the name suggests, this is a nifty little camera that will enable users to capture photos and videos in 360-degrees that they can then view with a virtual reality headset. Yi has now made the Yi 360 VR Camera available for pre-order out of China. It’s going to start shipping the camera in these new markets very soon.
The Yi 360 VR Camera is capable of recording 360 degree videos in up to 5.7K or 5760×2880 pixel resolution. It features two 1/2.3 inch 12 megapixel Sony IMX377 camera sensors with 220 degree lens and f/2.0 aperture.
Prospective owners do have to keep in mind that while the camera allows for video recording at 5.7K resolution, the stitching of the two videos at that resolution has to be done manually. The camera can automatically stitch videos recorded at 4K or lower resolutions.
The camera is powered by the Amabrella H2V95 processor that has been developed particularly for VR cameras. It enables the user to live stream directly from the camera at 2.5K resolution to YouTube and Facebook. A 1,400mAh battery will keep the lights on.
Yi 360 VR camera features a built-in 96×64 pixels OLED display, an HDMI port, USB Type-C port, and a microSD card slot. It measures 102 x 53.2 x 29.6 mm and weighs 170 grams. It’s now available for pre-order outside China for a price tag of $399.

There is an entire industry of “influencers” on Instagram who have built a significant following for themselves on the social network and they hawk products that range from diet teas to teeth whiteners. However, many don’t properly label their posts as advertisements even though it’s evident that they are being paid to push a product. The Facebook-owned service is now testing a dedicated label to better highlight sponsored posts on Instagram.
The Federal Trade Commission isn’t happy about influencer marketing where paid endorsements are not properly highlighted. It recently sent letters to more than 90 top influencers to remind them that they have to “clearly and conspicuously” when the products featured in their posts are sponsored.
Instagram’s Creative Programs Director Charles Porch said that most influencers just want a clear and standardized way to make these disclosures. So the service is testing a new tag for influencers that will clearly make this disclosure for them.
When this tag is applied to a post, it’s going to contain a “Paid partnership with” notification at the very top. Instagram is only testing this tag out with a handful of users and says that “there will be enforcement” once people are educated about this.
Does this mean we can expect Instagram to mandate that users add this tag whenever they post a sponsored photo or video? Seems like it.

Razer’s Blade Stealth laptop has been very well received but some have wished for the 12.5 inch display to be slightly bigger. It’s not exactly uncommon for small laptops to have larger displays. Razer seems to have taken the feedback from its customers to heart as it has now launched a new model of the Blade Stealth that comes with a 13.3 inch 3,200×1,800 pixel resolution touchscreen display in a similarly-sized body.
The new Blade Stealth model from Razer holds on to that same half-inch thickness of its predecessor and the claimed nine hours of battery life. It does weigh slightly more at 2.93 pounds as opposed to 2.84.
Customers in the United States will be able to purchase the notebook in a new gunmetal gray color that doesn’t have the bright green Razer logo. It swaps that out for a subtler logo so that this notebook won’t feel too out of place in a business meeting as well.
The 13.3 inch Razer Blade Stealth notebook is available with a 2.7 GHz Core i7 processor from Intel coupled with 16GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD. It’s available for purchase starting today from Razer’s online store for $1,399.
This doesn’t mean that Razer is doing away with the $999 12.5 inch model of the Blade Sleath. That will continue to be sold alongside this new model that has been launched today.

Former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) issued a statement on a shooting that targeted Congressional Republicans in Alexandria, Virginia, on Wednesday.
GOP Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) was among those shot when a gunman opened fire on a group of people practicing for a congressional baseball game. Alexandria Police said the shooter is in custody and that victims were being transported to nearby hospitals.
Giffords was shot in the head while meeting with constituents outside a supermarket in Tucson, Arizona, in 2011. Six people died in that shooting, including Gabe Zimmerman, who served as Giffords’s community outreach director.
She and her husband, astronaut Mark Kelly, have spent the years following her shooting advocating for stricter gun control laws. The couple founded Americans for Responsible Solutions, a group that works to raise awareness of gun violence.
Earlier this month, Giffords called out President Donald Trump for his response to a terror attack in London during which knives and a vehicle were used to hurt people.
