The forthcoming Smart Remote from Sevenhugs easily controls all your connected devices—just point it at what you want to control. It recognizes the device & adapts its color touchscreen accordingly. Use it for Philips Hue lights, Nest thermostat, Sonos speakers, and more.
Attendees at this year’s Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival will have the ability to experience the festival in a whole new way, thanks to some cutting-edge technology.
Goldenvoice — the people behind Coachella — are partnering Silicon Valley with Silicon Valley startup Doppler Labs to bring the Here Active Listening System to the masses.
Here — which raised more than $600,000 on Kickstarter last year — is an in-ear audio system that uses wireless earbuds and an app on your phone to control and personalize a live-audio environment.
The idea is that the earbuds — which are kind of like high-tech hearing aids — can be used to modify the sounds in your physical environment. This can mean eliminating background sounds, raising the bass, adjusting reverb or creating other sonic experiences. Read more…
Carl Sagan told us that there are more stars in the universe than there are grains of sand on all of the Earth’s beaches. At the same time, there are more H2O molecules in just 10 drops of water than there are stars.
Ranging from the unimaginably small to the unimaginably big, the scale of the universe is mind-boggling. Watch to try to wrap your head around it.
Sony is launching a connected light that performs a surprising number of chores. The "Multifunctional Light," developed using Toshiba’s LED lighting tech, can (of course) output a full spectrum of light to match your mood. When it’s connected to your smartphone or other WiFi device, you can also activate it remotely or set it up on a scheduled timer, like most other smart bulbs. That’s just scratching the surface of this product, though. It also has built-in motion, luminance, temperature and humidity sensors, along with a memory card slot, infrared controller, speaker and microphone. For a light fixture, that lets it do a ridiculous amount of stuff.
For instance, it can detect when you’re in the room and turn on the TV or air conditioning, work as a room-to-room intercom, control your thermostat, play music, act as a motion detector alarm system and record and play back messages. You can program all of those features in infinite ways via the app, making it more like a smart home hub than a simple light fixture. The one large caveat is that it’s likely only coming to Japan in the first half of 2016, for now. Once Sony tests the waters there, hopefully they’ll unleash the intriguing device in Europe and North America.
