Xiaomi has launched an updated version of its Yi Action Camera, the economic model that allows you to record video up to 2K resolution (via upgrade). As the name suggests, Xiaomi Yi Action Camera 4K, the new version also supports video recording at 4K resolution. This is possible thanks to a new production Sony sensor, which can take photographs to the native resolution of 12 MP. In this case, within Xiaomi Yi Action Camera 4K we find the Sony IMX377 sensor coupled to a goal in seven elements with viewing angle of 155 ° and aperture f / 2.8. A 6-axis gyroscope allows a stabilization of the electronic type, while the LCD display, 2.19 inch touch screen allows you to set the frame without the use of an external device. An allocation of a certain value in view of the market range. But the positive features do not stop there: the new action Xiaomi cam records at 4K resolution at 30 fps, in addition to 2.5K resolutions at 30 fps, 2K (1440p) to a maximum of 60 fps and full HD 960p and up...

Starbreeze and Acer have recently signed a letter of intent to create a new joint venture that will develop the viewer Virtual Reality StarVR. The subject of research concerns the design, production, promotion, marketing and sale of StarVR viewer in the professional division and in the entertainment industry. Acer is excited to join forces with Starbreeze to bring to the viewer StarVR market. We are allocating R & D resources across multiple VR ecosystem aspects for a consistent, high-quality experience, while only last month announced Acer desktop and very powerful laptops ready for the Virtual Reality. Starbreeze and Acer share the same goal, to make available quality VR applications, and we look forward to enabling new possibilities with this partnership. Starbreeze has officially unveiled StarVR display at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in June 2015. The project was carried out following the acquisition of the French company Infinite Eye whereby Starbreeze is in pos...

The house of Cupertino has recently admitted the existence of a bug, apparently due to iTunes, which can lead to unwanted deletion of music stored in the PC. Apple's statements corroborate previous reports from users who had found the problem. According to allegations made by the company, the number of users affected is very limited and a fix is coming. In a very limited number of cases, users have reported that the music files saved in their computers were removed without their permission. We are taking these reports very seriously, we know how important is music to our clients and our teams are focused to identify the cause. We have not been able to replicate this problem, however, we will release an iTunes update early next week, which will include additional protections. If you encounter this kind of problem, you should contact AppleCare. The update could then arrive in the coming hours. To assess the actual ability to solve the problem, since, as mentioned, the causes have...

At the National University of Singapore a group of researchers was able to develop a technique, which allows to improve the effect of photoluminescence on tungsten diselenide, a two-dimensional semiconductor. According to the scientists, this scoperata could pave the way for the use of this kind of semiconductor optoelectronic and photonic devices. The tungsten diselenide is a semiconductor often only a molecule that is part of a class of materials that only recently is receiving special attention. It is dicalcogenuri of transition metals, which have the ability to convert light into electricity and vice versa, thus placing itself as ideal candidates for optoelectronic devices. Their structure and in particular their reduced thickness, however, limits the light absorption and photoluminescence properties, then limtando practical applications. The group of researchers, led by Professor Andrew Wee of the physics department at the Faculty of Science of the NUS, has integrated monolaye...

Tesla has hired Peter Hochholdinger, executive Audi for about 22 years, to fill the role of Vice President of Vehicle Production. Replaces Greg Reichow, that according to what is revealed Bloomberg took a leave of absence at the beginning of May in order to have a "well deserved break" from your busy days. The Hochholdinger goals are to increase the production of Model S and Model X and carry out a specific production program for Model 3. At the time of writing, according to a recent article by Reuters Tesla has received about 400,000 pre-orders for Model 3. Recently there have been several concerns on the actual manufacturer's ability to meet this unexpected demand, especially if we consider that in fact all previous cars Tesla Roadster, Model S and Model X, were late - forever different reasons - with respect to the route plan.
