Research performed by MIT scientists has managed to create a formula that could give cars night vision.
Taking into account the number of hours we experience without daylight, night vision seems quite an attractive quality. Up to now, this ability has only been available to specific equipment, such as military or for very express professions and tasks. To encourage massive adoption, cheaper technology than what has been used to date will be necessary, and that is where graphene enters the picture. Graphene’s physical characteristics make it...
Phones have improved considerably in the last ten years. If we compare a smartphone that we use today with a mobile from 10 years ago, we would think that smartphones are so advanced that a group of aliens must have brought them to Earth. However, there is one thing that does not seem to improve quite as quickly: batteries. In fact, the batteries seem to be getting ever worse because with each new device that enters the market, the battery life becomes even shorter or...
17 February 2014: With adsy, you can easily and intuitively select, edit and organise the content of your mobile app directly from your smartphone or tablet
As we said in an earlier post, the offering of services for creating mobile applications without programming know-how is quite extensive. Up to this point, these platforms offered online services to create your own applications from scratch through a desktop browser. But adsy.me is taking this one step further, making it possible to create and share mobile applications directly from...
Great minds think alike, they say. That’s certainly true of Telefónica’s top researchers and the keen coders at web developer Mozilla. For the last few years, both teams have been hard at work on secret, similar projects to unlock the true potential of HTML 5 on mobile.
So what did they do when they realised they were working towards the same goal? Simple: they teamed up to create the Open Web Device, and to revolutionise smartphones.
The state of the smartphone web

Pokemon Go was the most Googled topic in 2016. Which means by now you’ve probably heard of and likely played with augmented reality, which, different from virtual reality, adds something new to your current view of the world. Yes, those little monsters offer a new look to our old hometowns, but augmented reality has a lot more practical applications being applied to business.
Today we offer three sectors — construction, education, and retail — which will be revolutionized in 2017 by augmented reality.
Augmented Reality in...
There are a lot of video formats out there, and not all devices play them with the same ease. Hence the need for a video transcoder.
There are many instances where the difference between what is desirable and actual reality is inescapable. One example is the dazzling array of video formats that you can find. The problem does not solely have to do with physical formats (DVD, Blu-Ray), but also digital formats.
WMV, AVI, MP4, MOV and MKV are only some of the available formats, and each...
Mobile medicine doesn’t have to be in tablet form
A new charity, Virtual Doctors, exemplifies how a simple invention can have immense impact. It was set up by Huw Jones who, as safari guide in Zambia, was deeply affected when a pregnant woman bled to death while he was driving her to hospital. Earlier medical intervention might have saved her life.
So Jones devised the concept of Virtual Doctors, in which a pool of volunteer doctors, nurses and medical experts make themselves available to give remote advice...
Over the past few months, we’ve seen a ton of advancements in the world of virtual reality. Companies like Samsung, HTC and Oculus have all launched their own headsets, and software developers have created some innovative applications.
When it comes to discussing VR, augmented reality often enters the scene. It’s a type of technology that creates computer-generated images of a user’s understanding of the world around them. The main difference between these innovations is that AR doesn’t create a fully artificial environment. Instead, it projects new...
Will bedside manner fall to the wayside when medicine is automated? Or will there be less human error? Let’s be serious, we’re all guilty of the bad habit of googling our real and perceived ailments. But would this be smarter if WebMD was actually a real MD on the Web? Or if perhaps we were diagnosed via artificial intelligence, which compounds the research, learning and risk analysis of thousands of doctors?
We already spoke about how doctors will soon be able to diagnose us remotely...
The number of stimuli that we’re exposed to every day is forcing us to split our attention, and we’re having an increasingly difficult time focusing on a single task.
The attention span is an interval of time in which a person can be focused on a specific task without being distracted from it. It’s a basic learning factor because the greater the attention span that an individual can dedicate to a task, the easier it will be to complete this task regardless of any other faculties that...
