Sure those are very hight DPI screens I agree. So then take the price of ipad pro 11. Even cheaper than iphone 14 pro and has most of those components I mentioned above (excluding 3g/4g/5g). 2x ipad pro 11 == 2x $800 = $1600. Does

Sure but this looses appeal for me. I still need macbook nearby and both devices need to be charged. If I'm in plane i dont want to remove my laptop from hand luggage or draining both batteries. This is just slightly better than someon

My point is many developer will find some unique ways to find some new applications of hand tracking combined with other things. Apple will provide hand tracking data for visionOS in latest ARKit - I watched the WWDC session. Even currently

They do hand tracking, you can hold joycons controllers and use those only for haptics. Or just... hold whatever: flipflops, water bottles, red bull cans if you need to feel of holding something Edit: Holding iphone and apple watch also is

But there is even much more profits with ads and sales in those apps - that is the biggest market than selling software. On android it's even hard to track how much profits is via subscription because platform is less restrictive and a

There is controllers support it's they are not included out of the box - iOS/iPadOS support pretty much most features of dualshock, dualsense and joy-cons including vibration and motion sensors. They even sell PS Dualsense in the

The only things missing for Pro users (especially Devs) are tools - ipad is useless for Software Dev as main machine. They can't force other companies to port Intellij or VSCode to iOS/iPadOS but you would expect they provided Xco

lots of technologies in those vision Pro are similar components as in those iphones and ipads. If you take 2 iphone 14 pro (total cost 2x$1000=$2000) you get: - 2x OLED screens - 2x lidar camera - 2x truedepth camera module - 2x4=8 RGB came

Check wiki regarding iphone history and specs. Flashlight sensor was added in 3rd generation, gyroscope was in iphone 4 or 3gs - Steve Jobs was showing it off. Selfie camera definitely not yet in second generation. App store was launched wi

First iphone didn't have gps, didn't have selfie camera it event didn't have a flashlight, gyroscope or compass. Also only 2g and wifi g Not to mention app store was launched 1 year later. Based on that first generation wasn&

It's not sure though if you will be able to to charge device while using simultaneously. On all pictures I have seen cable was using priopertary connector and on the other end soldered to battery. Battery though has extra Usb-c port fo

It doesn't need to have killer app - Apple watch doesn't have killer but still sells well. Playststion or any other console also doesn't have killer app - they are just for entertainment. Oculus mostly focuses on entertainmen

Don't things only rich people will buy it e.g. I think it can be very useful for blind people especially those who recently got blind and haven't adapted yet. I would be happy to hear opinion of any developer here on HN that is bl

But it would be useful for OSS to do translation from Metal to DirectX - Apple probasbly doesn't want that.

You have those problems mostly because your Tobii is external device much more far away - you won't get good enough accuracy comparing to any eye tracking that is just a camera few cm far away from your eyes. With Apple solution (or an

Yeah definitely this would be the most tricky part, but someone mentioned here those screen are the size of post stamp - so if that's true they probsbly closer than lenses in standard correction glasses and the shift wouldn't have

From wiki: >Saccades to an unexpected stimulus normally take about 200 milliseconds (ms) to initiate, and then last from about 20–200 ms, depending on their amplitude (20–30 ms is typical in language reading). Are you sure? Seems like pl

I tested SwiftKey recently and works quite well with speech to text when whispering very silently when you put you lips close to microphone but worked even well with airpods. This still might be culturally weird to everyone whispering but

It's because a lot of people moved to m1 after waiting years for transition to something new because of crappy butterfly keyboards for many generations, lack of innovation or regression (no functional keys, no Magsafe, no Hdmi, no mini

They announced some tools that help testing and porting windows games to macos and some tools that supposed to convert opengl and DirectX shader to metal shaders.

They also announced new feature to airpods something liked auto adaptive immersion that they detect what to noise cancel and what not dynamically depending on changing environment. On video they showed someone when someone start talking to

Speculating but what if this screen pixel density is not uniform but much more dense in the center and they use eye tracking to shift those screens mechanically similar like the shift camera sensor array for image stabilization?

by pzo 3y ago
Other things that come to my head: - truedepth 3d camera and lidar - 3d scene reconstruction - arkit framework - wifi 6 for higher bandwidth - Uwb sensor with Proximity and orientation detection - high fps motion sensors - game controllers

What if they shift screens mechanically in response to eye movement? Similar like apple camera optical stabilization works by shifting slightly camera sensor array? And if the screen pixel density is not uniform but more dense in the center

by pzo 3y ago
What if the would move the screens? E.g. Similar like they have in camera optical stabilization they slightly move the sensor array. They could make screen with not uniform pixel density but more dense in center and then do eye tracking and

Just lay down in bed and put physical keyboard with touchpad on your legs. Many times I work from airbnb or hotel that doesn't have proper chairs or workdesk or from coworking hotdesk when travelling.

You already have native chatgpt app by openai. Also Microsoft have integration on native edge browser, SwiftKey keyboard and Bing app. There are also many mobile stable diffusion apps and even native mobile discord app which is UI for midjo

That still sound like skill than fraud. It's same with software tester trying corner cases - it's software developer fault not taking it into account. Casino could make some bumps on the table and make table circular to "fix

Not sure if some one definition picked without context is good example. Immortal doesn't have to mean eternal life. In green mythology we have few examples of supposedly immortal gods that died. Elves in Tolkien were immortal but could

I think kids born recently have higher chance to avoid death - in next 70 years a lot of can change. And even if in that time frame we won't be able to make people immortal maybe we can extend lifespan to 150 years with still healthy b
