Das dürfte Sony sicherlich so gar nicht schmecken: Steve Hemmerstoffer
hat wieder einmal Leak-Material
veröffentlicht,
diesmal zu den neuen Gaming-Headsets von Sony, den Inzone H3, H7 und H9.
Neben ein paar ersten Specs gibt es vor allem auch ein paar Renderbilder
zu sehen, damit ihr euch einen ersten Eindruck verschaffen könnt. Das
Wichtigste vorweg: Alle drei Modelle unterstützen Spatial Audio,
erlauben also 3D-Soundwiedergabe (360-Grad-Raumklang) beim Gaming.

Der Inzone H3 ist hierbei das einzige kabelgebundene Modell. Es verfügt
über ein schwarzes Mikrofon auf der linken Seite, wo auch das Kabel
befestigt ist. Hinzu kommt eine LED-Anzeige, ein USB-C-Port, eine
NC/AMB-Taste (Noise-Cancelling/Ambient Sound Mode) und eine
Lautstärkeregelung unter dem Mikrofon.

Der Inzone H7 ist dagegen schon kabellos unterwegs, hat im Gegensatz zum
H3 eine andere Tastenanordnung, ähnelt dem Gerät aber ansonsten sehr.
Das Mikrofon ist hier weiß. Auf der rechten Seite befindet sich an der
Hörmuschel eine Taste „GAME/CHAT", eine Bluetooth-Taste und die Taste
zum Ein- und Ausschalten. Im Lieferumfang enthalten sind ein
USB-Typ-C-Kabel und ein USB-Dongle, um das Gerät mit einem Computer zu
verbinden.

Zu guter Letzt gibt es dann noch das Inzone H9, das dann als
Premiummodell noch einmal dem H7 ähnelt, dafür aber noch eine
LED-Beleuchtung besitzt. Die Tasten- und Mikrofonanordnung sind aber
gleichgeblieben. Das Modell H9 ist von den dreien laut Hemmerstoffer das
einzige, das neben dem Raumklang auch über eine
Geräuschunterdrückungsfunktion verfügt.

Qualcomm, Vodafone, and Thales demonstrate major development in iSIM technology – SIM integrated into main processor

Bild/Foto
Yes, similar to eSIM, but does not require the extra eSIM chip. So all the eSIM advantages, but with even more space saved. So this will mean a lot in wearables and IoT devices where space is the key challenge, as well as some improved efficiency (as far as battery life goes).

Why smartwatch-measured blood pressure still isn't ‘ready for primetime’ - Cardiologists are looking forward to the future of blood pressure tech — but the field still needs to catch up

It’s been over two years since Samsung first announced that its Galaxy Watch would be able to measure people’s blood pressure. The feature is available in a number of countries, including South Korea, but not in the United States — the company is still awaiting Food and Drug Administration clearance. In the meantime, other smartwatch companies have started experimenting with blood pressure tech in a bid for monitors on their devices. Fitbit announced a study trialling a blood pressure monitor in April, and Apple is reportedly working on its own version, as well.

The analysis, published in July, found that the blood pressures calculated by the Samsung device had “moderate to strong agreement” with pressures measured by an FDA-approved cuff. The results were about as close together as the results from two different FDA-approved cuffs were each other, Mendes says. The results held for people of varying skin tones and ages.

It’s important to get right — maybe more important than something like heart rate, Cohen says. “High blood pressure is such a major risk factor for stroke, major cardiac events, and kidney disease,” she says. “It’s so, so important that we get it right, because if devices are giving you an inaccurate reading, you can get very false reassurance that your blood pressure is normal.”

Xiaomi Smart Glasses: Smarte Brille vorgestellt

{.aligncenter
.size-medium .wp-image-1068500 width="720"
height="405"}

Xiaomi hat seine Smart Glasses vorgestellt. Der Name lässt es erahnen,
hierbei handelt es sich um eine smarte Brille. Um die Form einer
gewöhnlichen Brille zu erreichen, mussten laut Xiaomi Herausforderungen
bei der Bildgebung und der Anordnung der internen Komponenten (die
Brille besteht aus fast 500 Komponenten) überwunden werden. Die Xiaomi
Smart Glasses verwenden die MicroLED-Bildgebungstechnologie, um den für
das strukturelle Design benötigten Platz und das Gesamtgewicht des
Geräts (51 Gramm) zu verringern.

{.aligncenter
.size-medium .wp-image-1068501 width="720"
height="405"}

Um das Bildgebungssystem nahtlos in den Rahmen zu integrieren, ist
MicroLED laut des chinesischen Unternehmens die beste Wahl. Wie bei
OLEDs werden auch bei MicroLEDs die Pixel einzeln beleuchtet – ihre
emittierende Eigenschaft ermöglicht hellere Displays und tiefere
Schwarztöne. MicroLEDs haben jedoch eine höhere Pixeldichte und eine
längere Lebensdauer, während sie eine einfachere Struktur haben. Dies
ermöglicht eine kompaktere Anzeige und eine einfachere
Bildschirmintegration. Damit auch bei starker direkter
Sonneneinstrahlung genügend Licht durch die optischen Strukturen zum
Auge gelangt, habe man sich für eine monochrome Displaylösung
entschieden.

Mittels AI solle entschieden werden, welche Benachrichtigungen angezeigt
werden. Man möchte nicht, dass der Nutzer abgelenkt wird. Beispiel
Benachrichtigungen vom Smartphone: Da sei es natürlich unpassend, alle
Push-Benachrichtigungen vor den Augen anzuzeigen. Daher wählt die Xiaomi
Smart Glasses die wichtigsten Nachrichten aus, wie z.B.
Smart-Home-Alarme, dringende Informationen von Office-Apps und
Nachrichten von wichtigen Kontakten usw., um den Benutzer nicht zu sehr
zu stören.

„Telefonieren“ ist das natürlichste Anwendungsszenario für die Smart
Glasses, und Nutzer können die Nummer des Gesprächspartners sehen, wenn
dieser anruft. Durch ein eingebautes Dual-Beamforming-Mikrofon nebst
-Lautsprecher können sich beide Gesprächspartner deutlich hören, so
Xiaomi.

{.aligncenter
.size-medium .wp-image-1068502 width="720"
height="370"}

Navigation und so etwas gibt’s natürlich auch – die 5MP-Kamera auf der
Vorderseite der Brille kann auch Fotos aufnehmen und Text in Fotos
übersetzen, Xiaomi Smart Glasses ist in der Lage, Audio in Text mit
Übersetzungen in Echtzeit zu transkribieren. Die Anzeigeleuchte neben
der Kamera leuchtet auf, wenn die Kamera in Betrieb ist, um anzuzeigen,
dass Fotos aufgenommen werden.

Unter der Haube? Ein Quad-Core-ARM-Prozessor, ein Akku, ein Touchpad,
Wi-Fi/Bluetooth-Modul,
[Android]{.bm_keywordlink}-Betriebssystem
und mehr. Das Ganze ist erst einmal nur eine Vorschau auf Kommendes,
genaue technische Details fehlen in der
Ankündigung,
ein Preis ist also ebenfalls noch nicht bekannt.

Xiaomi’s Smart Glasses are a HUD for your phone and more, but pity it does not have a shutter for the camera, although it does have an indicator light

This product seems aimed at the Chinese market for now, but would likely be more accepted if the camera could have a small hardware shutter over it. The presence of an indicator light though does show some attention was given to privacy. I like the concept of a heads-up display built into a design that looks pretty like regular glasses. A big bonus of course is that Facebook, Google, etc has no involvement, so as far as we know, no data is being sold to advertisers.

Ideal uses could be a teleprompter for speeches, navigation prompts, menu/sign translations, etc.

Whoop’s new fitness tracker is better thanks to a battery breakthrough - Sila Nanotechnologies’ silicon anode has finally arrived

Fitness company Whoop has a new tracker that squishes five LEDs, four photodiodes, a pulse oximeter, skin temperature sensor, and more into a package that is 33 percent smaller than its predecessor — all while still offering five days of battery life. But a particular change to the tracker’s battery chemistry is one of the biggest reasons Whoop was able to do all this in the first place.

The change was pioneered by a Silicon Valley company called Sila Nanotechnologies, which was co-founded in 2011 by Gene Berdichevsky, one of Tesla’s earliest employees. And it’s one that, if it scales up, could help break some of the biggest limitations currently facing lithium-ion technology.

On paper, it’s a simple change: the battery’s anode is now made of silicon instead of graphite, which allows for greater energy density (up to 20 percent, Sila claims). Greater energy density means device makers can use a smaller battery to accomplish the same tasks — or free up more space to do things they couldn’t before. And it doesn’t require any hardware changes to the cell production process. In fact, that’s one of Sila’s biggest selling points to battery makers: its silicon anode is more or less plug-and-play.

What Your 'Heart Rate Variability' (HRV) Says About Your Health - It Helps Gauge Overall Stress Levels

One feature a number of fitness trackers offer is a metric called “heart rate variability,” or HRV, which is the interval of time between each heartbeat. But given that we tend to think of our hearts beating at a steady and predictable pace, the fact that the interval between each beat varies can be a hard concept to grasp.

However, since HRV is responsive to stress—whether it’s anxiety, sleep deprivation, overtraining, or any of many other physical and mental stressors—keeping an eye on your HRV can be a way to gauge whether your overall lifestyle needs a change. For example, a lot of professional and endurance athletes will keep an eye on their HRV as a way of gauging how their overall stress levels may be affecting their performance.

Murata to deliver solid state batteries to market soon, and they’ll be able to be soldered directly to PCBs

Solid state batteries have long been promised to us as the solution to our energy storage needs. Theoretically capable of greater storage densities than existing lithium-ion and lithium-polymer cells, while being far safer to boot, they would offer a huge performance boost in all manner of applications.

According to Murata’s own report from 2019, their new batteries will be aimed at the wearables and Internet of Things market. The batteries will be on the order of 2 to 25 mAh in capacity, based on graphics in the press release, with energy densities in the realm of 500 Wh/L. This puts the batteries in the realm slightly above the performance of current lithium-ion cells. It also far exceeds existing solid state designs, currently only really used in pacemakers and other very-low-power applications. However, their solid state nature brings one exciting benefit — they’ll be able to be soldered directly to PCBs in much the same way as any other component.

Finger wrap could one day let you power up wearables while you sleep - This thin, flexible strip generates small amounts of electricity from finger sweat

“Even with the minute amount of sweat compared to the sweat you got from a really intense workout, this power is still very sizable,” co-author Lu Yin told New Scientist. “No matter how clean your hand is, it’s very easy to leave your fingerprint everywhere. That’s basically the residue of your sweat, with a lot of metabolites. What we did is to take advantage of this.”

The new UCSD biofuel cell is a thin, flexible strip that wraps easily around the fingertip like a Band-Aid. There is a pad of electrodes made out of carbon foam and a hydrogel that absorbs any sweat. Enzymes in the electrodes then trigger chemical reactions between the lactate and oxygen molecules in the sweat to produce electricity. The researchers next added a piezoelectric chip so that even more energy could be produced just by pressing one's fingertips against an object. That energy is then stored in a small capacitor until it is needed.

The UCSD team found that their biofuel cell could produce nearly 400 millijoules of energy per square centimeter (sufficient to power an electric wristwatch for 24 hours) as a test subject slept for ten hours. An hour of light typing or clicking on a mouse produced nearly 30 millijoules from a single fingertip. Adding strips to the rest of the fingers could potentially produce ten times more energy, making for a great return on energy investment. "When you are sleeping, you are putting in no work," said Yin. "Even with a single finger press, you are only investing about half a millijoule.”

Not sure what sort of electric wristwatch they're thinking of, but don't think that is today's WearOS and WatchOS powered devices. It is probably early days for this, but I can see if powering small dedicated sensors and in future slightly bigger devices.

Newer study of 875 Fitbit-wearers shows Fitbits detect lasting changes after COVID-19

One in five Americans uses a Fitbit, Apple Watch or other wearable fitness tracker. And over the past year, several studies have suggested that the devices — which can continually collect data on heart rates, body temperature, physical activity and more — could help detect early signs of COVID-19 symptoms.

Now research suggests that these wearables can also help track patients’ recovery from the disease, providing insight into its long-term effects.

In a paper published Wednesday in the journal JAMA Network Open, researchers studying Fitbit data reported that people who tested positive for COVID-19 displayed behavioral and physiological changes, including an elevated heart rate, that could last for weeks or months. These symptoms lasted longer in people with COVID than in those with other respiratory illnesses, the scientists found.

“We want to kind of do a better job of collecting long-term symptoms so we can compare the physiological changes that we’re seeing with symptoms that participants are actually experiencing,” Radin said. “So this is really a preliminary study that opens up many other studies down the road.”

TCL’s wearable display glasses (not VR or AR) will go on sale in July starting in Australia

It may seem a bit pricey at $899 AUD but if it works we can expect that price to fall. I actually like the fact these are cabled via a USB-C port (those supporting remote display) because that means they would work indefinitely vs the very short battery life you'd otherwise "see".

It will give you an effective 140" display screen in front of you, and seeing it is across both eyes should mean potentially 3D too.

This means that typical small display items like small phones and netbook size portable computers could be used with this virtual 140" display being seen. In theory, your phone could ring while in your pocket, you'd pull these glasses down on your head to quickly see who is calling, and use your voice to answer. But they are not AR, so you won't be walking around looking through these glasses as they operate only as remote display units which, yes, does limit their functionality somewhat.
