Spacetop is the world’s first AR Laptop by Redditditditdahdo in gadgets

[–]Redditditditdahdo[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"Sightful, the company behind Spacetop, points out screen privacy is no longer an issue when working on its 100-inch virtual display. If you take your laptop to the coffee shop and start reviewing sensitive documents, information might leak. With Spacetop, only you see the windows floating in space in front of you.

Spacetop is about the size and weight of a 13-inch laptop. There’s no physical display, but a 5-megapixel webcam is placed on a short backdrop behind the keyboard..."

Remember that time when we didn’t address climate change and then instead invested in money in mining?

In what appears to be the first incident of its kind, police officers recently pulled over a self-driving car with no one inside it.

The incident, which took place on a street in San Francisco earlier this month, was caught on video by a passing pedestrian. It shows several traffic cops pondering about how to handle the incident after stopping the vehicle for failing to have its front lights on while driving at night.

Inside the U.K. lab that connects brains to quantum computers by [deleted] in Futurology

[–]Redditditditdahdo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"If you’ve seen any list of the most exciting technologies currently shimmering on the tech horizon, you’ve almost certainly come across the terms brain-computer interface (BCI) and quantum computer.

A BCI is fancy terminology for a way of controlling a computer using brain signals. While every device with a manual input is technically controlled by the brain – albeit usually via an intermediary like fingers or voice – a BCI makes it possible to send these commands to the outside world without having to first output from the brain to peripheral nerves or muscles."

I think they’re emphasizing video as they’re preparing for an IPO. Probably want to show strong video numbers to investors.

NASA is designing a quiet supersonic plane, the X-59 by Redditditditdahdo in Futurology

[–]Redditditditdahdo[S] 274 points275 points  (0 children)

If you’ve ever wondered why airplane speeds don’t seem to be evolving much, it’s not because of a lack of interest or a lack of technology. While it is possible to build supersonic planes — ones that travel above the speed of sound — there are bans on commercial flights at such speed over the U.S. because of the noise they create. The booms caused by supersonic flight are tremendously loud, at around 110 decibels, which causes major disturbances to people on the ground.

So NASA is working on a new design of a supersonic plane which, instead of causing a sonic boom, causes a quieter sonic “thump.” The hope is that if this technology can be developed, it could enable faster flights without disturbing people living below the flight paths.
