Apple’s new Patent helps Users with Partial Blindness see the full Field of View

When we say Augmented Reality, the first thing that comes to mind is AR Emojis or other similar application wherein a virtual object is placed in the real world. However, AR can have a number of other significant applications, and it looks like Apple is working on an important AR feature to help users with partial blindness see better.

Many types of visual impairment result in partial blindness or obstruction in a person’s field of vision. These people can develop floaters or blind spots which obstructs a part of their vision. There are also people who have weakened vision due to diseases such as diabetes. Apple’s new AR patent filed at USPTO is aimed at helping such people with visual impairment by warping images in their field of view.

An example of how a real-world scene can be warped so the user can see behind their ocular obstruction. — Here, in the second image, we can see how the numbers 5 and 6 are shown clearly despite the obstruction

Typically, if you have a floater or blind spot, you won’t be able to see a small portion in your field of view. Apple’s patent reveals that it can use a camera or an image sensor to capture the image in the person field of view. It then determines the obstructed portion in their line of sight and warps images in order to give a complete picture to the user. The amount of warp will depend upon the person’s visual impairment. For example, if a user has weakened vision, the device can enlarge the image in his or her field of view to give a better view of the real world. Further, the patent mentions eye-tracking which will ensure that the warping technology remains relevant even when the user looks around.

In the patent, Apple has used a device like a smartphone to show how this technology works. However, it can also be applied to other devices like smart glasses which the Cupertino giant is said to be working on. So, this tech could be incorporated inside Apple’s rumored AR Glasses when it makes it to the market sometime in the next couple of years.

Like the Galaxy Note 10, the Plus model also features a display with a top-center positioned punch-hole for the selfie camera. The display of the Note 10+ is surrounded by super-slim bezels and a slightly thick chin. The handset will feature an in-display fingerprint scanner since it is absent from the back panel. The Note 10 series is expected to feature ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor like the Galaxy S10 series of smartphones.

The rear side of the Galaxy Note 10+ has four cameras. Three of them arrangement in a vertical module and alongside it is an LED flash, a gradient colorway and a 3D ToF sensor. The smartphone lacks a dedicated button for accessing Bixby AI assistant. While reports have claimed that the Note 10 series will lack a 3.5mm audio jack, the renders do not reveal whether it is present or absent.

Rumors surrounding the Galaxy Note 10+ have revealed that it will be fueled by Snapdragon 855 chipset. In other markets, the company could be selling its Exynos 9825 chipset version. The display of the phone is expected to carry support for quad HD+ resolution.

The Note 10+ may feature at least 8 GB of RAM and an inbuilt storage of 128 GB. For capturing selfies, it has a front camera of 10-megapixel. The triple camera setup of the Note 10+ may feature a 48-megapixel primary lens. It could be packed with a 4,500mAh battery that supports 25W fast charging, rapid wireless charging and reverse charging.

Honor‘s been hitting the news quite frequently these past few days. Their upcoming launch is only 4 days away, and we’re still not sure what they have in store for us come the 15th. Today’s teaser adds to the mystery of what’s coming, claiming a brand new product is coming. Is this just the new Honor 9X, or could it be something completely new?

Going off of yesterday’s post, there’s a high chance that this brand new product is the new Honor Magicbook. We got a glimpse of the new device yesterday, and it certainly looks pretty ready for launch. The time is ripe for a brand new laptop from the company, seeing as the old one is starting to get a bit outdated.

On the other hand, it’s possible that we’ll see a brand new Honor TV. Huawei have already said in the past that they’re not interested in making TVs, but that doesn’t apply to Honor. We saw a TV in yesterday’s image, but it’s not exactly concrete evidence. It would fit the bill of being a completely brand new product launch though.

Of course, we’re definitely going to see Honor’s new 9X and 9X Pro. The main question is, what’s going to launch alongside those two devices? We’re eager to find out more, but all we can really do for now is wait for more information. In the meantime, stay tuned on Gizmochina.com for any news on the upcoming Honor product launch.

There is a steady rise in the number of AI-powered English translating gadgets in China. Of course, the English language is the most widely spoken language and has the largest vocabulary. In an era of global trade, there is always a need for a translator when a Chinese speaking businessman meets with an English speaker. This is just one scenario out of thousands where a translator is needed. However, apart from gadgets that translate various languages, the Chinese are churning out devices which allow Children to learn the English language in fun ways.

Xiaomi recently launched one of such gadgets under the crowdfunding platform. The device adopts a rather weird name – DuYQYQ AI English learning Machine Pro. It carries a crowdfunding pice tag of 899 yuan which is expected to get bumped up slightly after the crowdfunding exercise.

MediaTek i700 chipset for AR applications, smart homes, stores, factories Launched

Jul 11, 2019

While the flagship chipset segment seems to be out of the reach of MediaTek, the Taiwanese company has continued to churn out useful chipsets in other segments. Mid-range and budget smartphones, wearable devices and even AI IoT.

The fabless chipmaker has just unveiled the MTK i700, a new AI IoT-focused chipset which is a successor to the i500. The chipset may be deployed in Smart Displays, high-end security cameras and other power demanding applications. The chipset is quite powerful, even if it was to be focused on smartphones which it isn’t.

As for the architecture, the MediaTek i700 features an Octa-core CPU with two Cortex-A75 cores and two Cortex-A55 cores clocked at 2.2GHz and 2.0GHz respectively. The chipset also features an IMG PowerVR GM 9446 GPU clocked at 970MHz. The chipset work with up to 8GB of LPDDR4x RAM at 1866MHz.

In addition, it packs a dual-core NPU which speeds up face detection five times compared to the i500. The chipset supports the Android Neural Networks API, as well as the most popular deep learning frameworks. The chipset can also be attached to a single 32MP camera or a dual 24MP+16MP setup. When a dual camera setup is in use, it can make use of its built-in depth sensing engine and distance estimation. There is also pose estimation and motion tracking for fitness and AR applications. Running the camera at 120fps allows the chipset to track fast-moving objects.

Further, the chip supports Wi-Fi 5 (2×2 802.11ac) and Bluetooth 5.0 for local connections. It also has a Cat. 12 LTE modem for mobile applications. As for its applicability, MediaTek says the chipset will be useful in access control for smart buildings, facial recognition for payment authentication, fitness and entertainment devices and even some autonomous vehicles in factories and warehouses (something like the robots in Amazon’s warehouses).

The new chipset will start shipping on products from next year.

Nokia 9 PureView vs Honor 20 Pro vs OnePlus 7: Specs Comparison

Jul 10, 2019

Nokia 9 PureView and its astonishing camera department just debuted in the Indian market. Despite it did not catalyze a lot of attention, this is definitely among the most impressive camera phones of 2019 and it is even the first device with a Penta camera setup on its back. Despite being a perfect phone for photography-addicted, it is also an affordable flagship and, given that it made its debut in the huge Indian peninsula, we think it is time to compare it with other competitive flagships of 2019. We chose the Honor 20 Pro and OnePlus 7 due to their great camera capabilities and their pretty affordable price tags compared to other flagships.

Nokia 9 PureView vs Huawei Honor 20 Pro vs OnePlus 7

	Nokia 9 PureView	Huawei Honor 20 Pro	OnePlus 7
DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT	155 x 75 x 8 mm, 172 g	154.6 x 74 x 8.4 mm, 182 g	157.7 x 74.8 x 8.2 mm, 182 g

ADDITIONAL FEATURES	Dual SIM slot, IP67 water resistant	Dual SIM slot	Dual SIM slot

Design

Despite it boasts an amazing build quality, Nokia 9 PureView does not focus on design and look. It has a very elegant glass back, but there are too many holes on it and also thick bezels around the display. OnePlus 7 is just a slight upgrade of the OnePlus 6T and it is almost identical when it comes to aesthetics, nothing so exciting even in this case. The real interesting one is Honor 20 Pro which has a punch-hole display and very slim bezels. It is even the most compact one, so it fits very nice in a pocket and it is easier to use with one single hand. But note that Nokia 9 PureView is the only water resistant phone thanks to the IP67 certification (not the highest level of water resistance, but it withstands temporary immersions up to 1 meter deep for 30 minutes).

Display

While Nokia 9 PureView has not exactly the best design, it comes undoubtedly with the best display. Despite it is an 18:9 panel, it boasts a higher resolution than its rivals (Quad HD+ with 1440 x 2880 pixels) and it is even HDR10 compliant, so it has an amazing color reproduction. Now it is up to you deciding whether it is worth to get thicker bezels for a better display or not. The silver medal goes to the OnePlus 7 which still comes with an OLED display just like the Nokia 9 PureView, but it has a lower resolution and it is not HDR-compliant. Honor 20 Pro has a midrange-class IPS panel which is its weakest point if we compare it with other flagships.

Hardware/Software

OnePlus 7 wins the hardware comparison simply because it is equipped with a stronger processor. We are talking about the Snapdragon 855 by Qualcomm running at a higher 2.84 GHz frequency and including a better GPU. Right after, there is Honor 20 Pro which is equipped with a Kirin 980 and 8 GB of RAM, while the last place goes to the Nokia 9 PureView and its old-gen Snapdragon 845 chipset paired with just 6 GB of RAM. But Nokia 9 PureView is still very fast and constantly updated as it is part of the Android One program.

Camera

My favorite one when it comes to the camera department is the Nokia 9 PureView because of its Penta camera including 2 RGB sensors and 3 monochromatic sensors. All the sensors can work at the same time and they capture an impressive amount of light and advanced depth information. Thanks to this device, you can make professional shots which you can edit in an advanced way. If we talk about photo quality, Honor 20 Pro is more or less at the same level with its 48 MP, the brightest focal aperture ever seen on a mobile phone (f/1.4), a dedicated macro camera and even a better selfie camera than Nokia 9 PureView.

Battery

Given that it packs a way bigger battery than both OnePlus 7 and Nokia 9 PureView, as well as a smaller display, Honor 20 Pro wins the battery life comparison. Right after, there is OnePlus 7, while Nokia 9 PureView has just an average battery.

Price

While Nokia 9 PureView and Honor 20 Pro carry a €600/$675 starting price tag (it varies depending on the market), OnePlus 7 starts from €550/$620. If I had to choose the best device for most of the consumers, I would go for the Honor 20 Pro due to its better design, bigger battery, and impressive cameras.

Official Samsung Galaxy Note10 renders shows us what to expect

The Galaxy Note10 unpacked event is less than a month away. However, more details about the new Samsung flagship are expected in the weeks leading up to the event. While we have seen renders based on CAD drawings and have an idea what it looks like, they still can’t compare to official renders of the device which have now surfaced, thanks to Roland Quandt of Winfuture.de.

The renders show us two of the color variants the Galaxy Note10 will be available in which are Black and Silver Gradient. The latter is similar to the Huawei P30 Pro’s Breathing Crystal color variant and has a contrasting blue stylus.

The Galaxy Note10 has an Infinity-O display with the punch hole for the camera sitting right in the middle at the top of the screen. The top bezel is now significantly thinner while the chin has also been shaved by a few millimeters. In a nutshell, we particularly like the way the front of the device looks.

The rear is home to three cameras stacked on top of each other and sharing the same housing. Flanking the sensors on the right is the LED flash. There is no fingerprint scanner on the rear like we have on the Galaxy Note9 as the Note10 will have an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner. In some of the renders, we see the back of the Galaxy Note10 curves to meet the frame in the middle.

The Galaxy Note10 will come with a Snapdragon 855/Exynos 9825 processor depending on the market. It will have a 6.3-inch screen Super AMOLED display and be available in different RAM and storage configurations. There will also be a Galaxy Note10+ whose live photos surfaced a few weeks ago.
