There is entirely too much content out there—so much so that plenty of folks find it quite literally overwhelming. And trying to keep track of all those horror movies and melodramatic reality shows and whodunnits starring Chris Evans in a cable knit sweater (oh ok, fine. There’s only one of those. But I’m optimistic…

Given the unofficial nature of leaks, it’s not unusual that we’d see conflicting information every now and then. Such discrepancies, however, take an interesting turn when high-profile leak sources are the ones that disagree with each other. That was the case with the five Galaxy S11+ cameras, which were initially suggested to have a rather unconventional design, to put it … Continue reading

The problem with our smartphones is that for the most part, the screen is still too small for us to do extended typing on them. If you’ve ever wanted to write up a document or a long email, you know that it can be a bit tiring trying to type it all out on your smartphone’s screen, but Samsung has a potential solution for you.
Dubbed the “SelfieType”, this is an experimental virtual keyboard that relies on your phone’s front-facing camera and AI to allow you to type without touching your phone. Basically, the phone’s front-facing camera will detect your hands and fingers and will attempt to figure out what you’re typing based on your finger placement.
According to Samsung, ‘‘SelfieType’ is a virtual keyboard using the front-facing selfie camera. A proprietary SelfieType AI engine analyzes finger movements coming from the front camera, and converts them into QWERTY keyboard inputs. SelfieType requires no additional hardware and it is highly adaptable to various mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets and laptops.”
This is part of Samsung’s C-Lab Inside program which basically are projects that are cooked up by Samsung employees. These experiments are expected to be shown off at CES 2020 which kicks off next week, but whether or not they will be made a reality remains to be seen.

A lot of our devices these days require us to touch them physically in order to interact with them. This is not a bad thing but if you’ve ever wanted to live in a movie where we can interact with things without actually touching them, Samsung seems to be taking steps in ensuring that this could happen.
The company has unveiled what is being called “Vtouch”, which is a new technology that allows users to control devices without actually physically touching them. This uses computer vision and deep-learning and eye-tracking where devices can figure out what we’re doing and how to respond to our gestures.
Samsung cites various uses for this tech, such as smart cars and smart homes, and even notes how such technology can also be used in environments that need to be clean of germs and bacteria. That being said, touchless navigation isn’t exactly new and we’ve seen how companies like Microsoft have leveraged devices like the Kinect to achieve something similar.
Even Google is experimenting with touchless gestures, where the Pixel 4 comes with Motion Sense, a radar-based detection system that lets users interact with the phone without touching it. We’re not sure if Samsung has plans to ever bring Vtouch to the market, but we expect we’ll learn more about it at CES 2020 next week.

Due to the way laptops are designed, which are typically created to be light and portable, certain compromises had to be made, such as in terms of its cooling. This is versus desktop computers where due to their size, it allows for better ventilation and cooling. However, future Intel-powered laptops could solve thermal issues.
According to a report from DigiTimes, Intel is rumored to be planning on announcing a new thermal module design where it could potentially allow for better heat dissipation. Apparently this new design is said to help heat dissipate better and enhance the process by as much as 25-30%, which is actually a pretty big deal.
As it stands, current thermal modules tend to be place between the keyboard exterior of the laptop and the bottom shell of the laptop. However, if the rumors are true, Intel’s design could replace this design with a vapor chamber and also use a graphite sheet behind the screen which could help boost the overall heat dissipation process.
It is believed that with this new design, it could allow laptop makers to create more fanless laptops and also ultimately reduce the overall size of their computers, making them more portable than ever. Hopefully we’ll have more details at CES 2020 where Intel could also potentially announce their new 10th gen desktop CPUs that offer up better multitasking capabilities.

Samsung C-Lab CES 2020 showcase includes invisible keyboard, humanoid robot
Posted in: Today's ChiliSave for the Galaxy Fold, some may criticize Samsung for throwing away its spirit of innovation and experimentation in exchange for consistent profits. That’s what the company’s C-Lab, formerly Creative Labs, is for, to be its skunkworks arm that allows it to fund those wild ideas without affecting its main products and turn them into profitable businesses afterward. Naturally, Samsung … Continue reading
