Samsung's portable Freestyle projector focuses and levels automatically

Samsung’s making more moves in the portable projector market with its new Freestyle model. It weighs just 1.83 lbs, and with the help of auto focus and auto leveling features that’ll help align whatever you’re watching, you’ll have a lot of options for where to place it.

You’ll be able to project content at a display size ranging from 30 to 100 inches with a 1080p resolution. It has a 180-degree cradle stand, so you can point it toward a ceiling and watch things while you’re lying down. Alternatively, using a base accessory, the Freestyle can connect to a standard E26 lightbulb socket.

If you want to use the device on the go, there’s an optional waterproof case and portable battery. You might not even need to connect it to speakers, as Samsung is promising 360-degree audio. Expect far-field voice control too.

The Freestyle will have much of the technology and customization features of Samsung’s smart TVs, according to the company. In addition, you can attach the lens cap for mood lighting while you play your favorite music. The portable projector will be available for pre-order on Samsung’s US website starting today for $899. It will be available in other regions over the coming months.

Sony reveals its EV market ambitions with the Vision-S 02 electric SUV

At this year’s CES, Sony has unveiled a follow up to the electric car it revealed at the same event two years ago. The new prototype is an SUV that the company is calling Vision-S 02. Sony took the sedan’s EV and cloud platforms and put them in a new form factor to create the vehicle, which features a large interior that can seat seven. 

The electric SUV has sensors all over its body, including CMOS image and LiDAR sensors for its driver assistance system. Sony says it’s conducting tests in Europe as part of its efforts to release a Level 2+ driver assistance technology on public roads. Inside, there are Time-of-Flight sensors for driver authentication, as well as support for intuitive gesture and voice commands. The vehicle will also have 5G connectivity to enable over-the-air updates and remote operation, which Sony is currently working on with its partners.

While the Vision-S 02 is just a prototype at the moment, Sony has ambitions to become a player in the electric vehicle industry and sell its cars to the public. It will establish an operating company named “Sony Mobility Inc.” this spring and will explore entry into the EV market. The company didn’t reveal what other steps it’s taking to achieve that goal, and it remains to be seen whether it’ll truly be able to release its Vision-S vehicles. It’s worth noting, however, that Sony has been testing its electric sedan on public roads in Europe since December 2020 and has also started verification tests of the safety and user experience of the vehicle’s imaging and sensing technology.

Over the years, only four-generation models have been introduced for the flagship Range Rover SUV. Although the process seems quite slow, with each generation model Range Rover has eventually become the star … Continue reading

Sony reveals more details about PlayStation VR2 and Sense controllers

Sony has revealed some pertinent details about its next-gen virtual reality headset at CES 2022, starting by confirming its name: PlayStation VR2. The new headset will be compatible with the PS5 and with the new VR2 Sense controllers. It has a display resolution of 2000 x 2040 pixel per eye, has a 110-degree field of view, is capable of 90 to 120Hz frame rates and supports 4K HDR.

The PS VR2 features inside-out tracking, which means it has multiple embedded cameras to track the movements of your head and controllers. Sony has also introduced a new sensory feature for the device called “headset feedback” that can make games and experiences even more immersive. Headset feedback uses a built-in motor with vibrations to simulate in-game events — it can, for instance, mimic the feel of a character’s elevated pulse rate while they’re hiding from a threat or the feel of objects passing close to a character’s head. 

3D audio and eye tracking are a couple of other features that create immersion. The headset can detect the motion of your eyes, allowing you to interact with the game environment like you’d interact with the real world. As for the PS VR2 Sense controllers, they’ll have key features from the DualSense controllers, particularly haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. While Sony has yet to reveal the headset’s availability, the company announced one of the first games arriving on the platform. Horizon Call of the Mountain, a VR experience in the Horizon universe, is apparently being built for the PS VR2 and will be an exclusive title for the platform.

The Chrysler Airflow Concept won’t necessarily be the Stellantis company’s first EV, but the 350-400 mile, dual-motor platform drops some strong hints of what … Continue reading

Let's watch two minutes of the upcoming 'Uncharted' movie

After a give or take a decade in development hell, the film adaptation of the Uncharted series is slated to arrive in theaters next month. And during CES, Tom Holland introduced a small, action-heavy segment of the film in which he is flung from a plane, repeatedly shot at and then hit by a car. 

If it looks at all familiar, that’s probably because this plane scene was heavily featured in the film’s first trailer — an apparent nod to the third game in the series. For better or worse it certainly has all the trappings of a quicktime event. 

The release date for Uncharted has been pushed back a few times, but it’s slated to hit theaters on February 18 now.
