Acer launches a compact SpatialLabs camera for 3D photos and videos

Acer has unveiled the new SpatialLabs Eyes Stereo Camera specifically for those who want to take 3D photos and videos. Users can not only use it to capture 3D content, but also to livestream in 3D on YouTube and other platforms, as well as to make 3D video calls on Teams, Zoom and Google Meet. The company describes the camera as “compact” and “pocket-sized,” with dimensions measuring 4 x 2.6 x 0.9 inches.

It has a resolution of 8 megapixels per eye and a built-in selfie mirror encased in a weather-proof shell. The more casual users can take advantage of its Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) feature, along with its auto and touch focus capabilities. But experienced photographers can customize their output as much as they want to in manual mode, which will allow them to adjust the camera’s ISO, white balance and shutter speed settings. 

The camera’s 3D livestreaming feature will be enabled by version 3.0 of Acer’s SpatialLabs Player, while high-resolution 3D video conferencing will be made possible through the company’s SpatialLabs video call widget. It will, of course, be compatible with Acer’s range of SpatialLabs devices, including laptops with glasses-free 3D screens. But you can view 3D content captured by the device even on other companies’ AR or VR headsets and 3D projectors. 

The Acer SpatialLabs Eyes Stereo Camera will be available in the third quarter of the year with prices starting at $549 or €549 in the US and in Europe, respectively.

Scientists Cure Diabetes With Stem Cell Therapy In World First

Chinese scientists have achieved a significant medical milestone by successfully curing a long-term type 2 diabetes patient using a novel cell therapy. This breakthrough, reported on April 30 in the journal Cell Discovery, represents the world’s first successful use of stem cell-derived islet transplantation for diabetes.

The patient, a 59-year-old who had been managing diabetes for 25 years, received a transplant of pancreatic cells derived from his own stem cells in 2021 at Shanghai Changzheng Hospital. Prior to this, he had experienced a severe decline in pancreatic islet function following a kidney transplant in 2017, necessitating daily insulin injections.

The innovative treatment involved converting the patient’s blood cells into stem cells, which were then transformed into pancreatic islet cells. Within 11 weeks of the transplant, the patient no longer required external insulin, and within a year, he was able to discontinue oral diabetes medication altogether. Follow-up examinations indicated restored pancreatic and normal kidney functions, suggesting the patient had been cured of diabetes.

Diabetes remains a major global health challenge, affecting 422 million people worldwide, with current management primarily relying on insulin injections and other medications. This groundbreaking achievement in China, which comes after more than a decade of research, offers new hope for a potential cure.

Looking ahead, the FDA has approved a similar cell therapy developed by a Chicago-based startup for type 1 diabetes, showing a growing interest in this approach. However, Chinese researchers emphasize the need for further studies to confirm the long-term efficacy and broader applicability of their treatment. This pioneering work opens new avenues for diabetes therapy, potentially transforming the lives of millions affected by this chronic condition.
