Astronaut in Space

How to Drink Coffee in Space

NASA astronaut sucks on balls to get his caffeine fix.

It is crucial to stay awake when on a mission in space, so drinking coffee is no brainer, except when you can’t actually drink it as you’re in zero gravity.

Air Force Colonel and ISS (international space station) crew member Jack Fischer came up with a genius idea to turn his coffee into balls, which can be dehydrated and easily transported. Now, whenever he needs a pick-me-up, he just sucks on some balls.

Sony

Sony takes sound to a new level.

Sony made it’s OLED display into a speaker to take TV audio above and beyond.

In our quest for the perfect flat screen – speakers are usually the first casualty but Sony is on a mission to change this.

Their Bravia OLED TV’s have done something simple in theory but complex in design – they’ve turned the actual glass of the TV into speakers.

The TV aims to create depth and space to literally put you in the action by directing the sound from it’s visual source or from speaker placed around the room. Results of this new technology mean an immersive viewing experience with picture and sound in harmony.

iPhone 8

What to Expect from the iPhone 8

The iPhone 8 is not released until September but details of the new features have been released by Apple CEO Tim Cook.

The new iPhone will move from an LCD screen to an OLED screen, which will mean vivid colours and darker blacks as every pixel is ‘turned on’.

Other features will include a smarter Siri, who will be able to translate English into Chinese, French, German, Italian and Spanish; the iPhone 8 will also have an Augmented Reality feature (ARKit).

Augmented reality was used in the Pokemon Go gaming app last year, but Apple’s ARkit uses the camera, the GPS details and the accelerometers built-in to the iPhone to make it’s AR more realistic.

Apple HomePod

Apple Confirms Release of it’s HomePod.

Apple’s new speaker is claiming to be the ‘smartest speaker on offer’.

The HomePod will be launched in December to compete with Amazon Echo and Google Home, which have both been really successful. The speaker will be just under 7 inches high and houses Apple’s virtual assistant, Siri.

The HomePod speaker has the ability to adjust sound levels when playing music based on its surroundings.

The device also contains six microphones to pick up voice commands and it will contain the A8 processor chip – the one used in the iPhone – meaning the HomePod could be the ‘smartest home speaker’ on offer.
