LG’s patented wrap-around display seems pointless, but still looks awesome

Why it matters to you

LG has always been a prominent force in making displays more flexible, and this patent shows the company is still innovating the format.

Flexible displays are all the rage right now, but LG may be looking to take things to the next level, at least if its latest patent is anything to go by. Check out this crazy flexible screen that bends over the top of your phone.

The patent, which was discovered by Mobilescout, doesn’t mimic recent phones with screens on their sides, it instead offers a screen on the front, top, and back of the device — but these aren’t three different screens in use. It’s one display that wraps over the top of the device..

More: Flexible LCDs will be available from Japan Display as soon as next year

So why would anyone want or need this? Well, jury’s out on that for now. The back of your device is generally what we use to hold our phone, so it’s hard to imagine use-case scenarios where we’d want to utilize the front and back of the phone at the same time. And, as The Verge notes, the fact that there’s screen on the top of your phone means that it’s more than likely you could shatter your display the first time you accidentally drop your device.

Still, the fact is that this is just a patent, and one that may never be implemented. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t cool — and something that could even be usable in a different form at some point in the future, possibly in a device other than a smartphone.

LG has long been at the forefront of development of flexible displays, and was among the first companies to bring curved displays to the smartphone market — beaten to the punch only by the Samsung Galaxy Round. The new patent shows that LG is only going to continue being a prominent force in the creation of the next great flexible smartphone.

With silicon wings and carbon fiber bones, nightmarish robo-bat flies like real thing

Plenty of robotics researchers are building “biomimetic” robots patterned after creatures in the natural world. However, according to Professor Soon-Jo Chung of the California Institute of Technology, there was only ever one animal he was really interested in mimicking.

“Bat flight is really the holy grail of aerial robots, evidenced by their abilities to perform complex flying maneuvers such as upside down perching and rapid turning maneuvers,” he told Digital Trends. “Bats also have very complex wing motions, with more than 40 joints and very thin membrane wings.”

Professor Chung is part of a team of engineers from Caltech and the University of Illinois who have developed a flapping bat-like robot that would make Bruce Wayne proud. A paper about their “Bat Bot” was published this week in the journal Science Robotics.

More: Here’s 7 brilliant examples of nature-inspired design

Unlike remote-controlled airplanes, the Bat Bot is entirely autonomous. Comprised of silicone wings, 3D-printed joints, and carbon-fiber “bones,” it is able to stitch together its various “motion primitives” (a combination of amazing maneuvers, turning and straight flight) to perform smooth continuous motion. It is even able to use a micro-camera to track certain objects, as well as possessing the ability to perform a perched landing maneuver using flapping wings.

In other words it can behave like… well, a bat.

“We are not trying to promote all future drones should look like a bat or should fly like a bat,” Chung continued. “Strict mimicry is not the goal. As an aerospace robotics engineer, I would like to learn from biological systems to improve the current technologies and designs of small aerial drones. For example, we could use these wing-morphing mechanisms using independent wing folding and leg motions to come up with a better way of controlling a future airplane.”

Soft-winged drones like Bat Bot offer up some exciting possibilities, such as being deployed in close proximity to humans in locations like construction sites. It could also potentially be used as an autonomous assistant for humans.

Because it doesn’t use high-speed rotors or emit any other loud sounds, it would be comparatively unobtrusive: making it potentially valuable in areas ranging from surveillance and reconnaissance to gathering scientific measurements.

Now if the researchers could just get it to issue spoken alerts, read by longtime Batman voiceover artist Kevin Conroy, it would be absolutely perfect!

Noctua will offer three special edition CPU coolers when AMD’s Ryzen CPUs debut

Why it matters to you

Noctua will help cool down AMD’s blazing-fast Ryzen desktop processors and the new AM4-based motherboards.

Noctua said on Wednesday that it will soon offer special versions of its NH-D15, NH-U12S, and NH-L9x65 processor coolers that will work with AMD’s upcoming Ryzen desktop CPUs. They will be labeled as “SE-AM4,” meaning the coolers will work with processors that slip into AMD’s new AM4 socket for motherboards. Pricing will start at $52.90 when AMD begins shipping its Ryzen desktop processors before the end of March.

Here are the models and their target systems:

NH-L9x65 SE-AM4
Built for compact systems.
NH-U12S SE-AM4
Provides a balance of compatibility and performance.
NH-D15 SE-AM4
Ideal for overclockers and silent enthusiasts.

According to Noctua, all three CPU coolers include the company’s SecuFirm2 mounting system that is fine-tuned for the AM4 socket so the cooler is easy to install and provides the best possible contact pressure on the Ryzen chip. The coolers also include two different sets of mounting bars so that users can align the cooler with the airflow path inside the system.

The upcoming CPU coolers target “noise-sensitive” customers who want a near-silent solution for AMD’s Ryzen processors. They come packed with Low-Noise Adapters and pulse width modulation (PWM) fans that support fully automatic speed control so they are not constantly whirring when the CPU is barely in use. The coolers will be sold with Noctua’s NT-H1 thermal compound and a full six-year warranty.

Here are the specifications of each special edition processor cooler for Ryzen systems:

The news of the three upcoming Ryzen coolers arrives after the company’s late-January announcement that it will offer free mounting upgrade kits for AM4-based systems: the NM-AM4-UxS and the NM-AM4. These kits are based on the company’s SecuFirm2 design and are backward compatible with “most” Noctua coolers released since 2005. Customers will simply need to upload a proof of purchase to Noctua to receive the kit.

A list of Noctua CPU coolers that can be adapted for AM4-based systems using one of the upgrade kits can be accessed here. The list also includes CPU coolers that are compatible with the upgrade kits but do not fall under Noctua’s free offer.

Pixie Point Bluetooth tracker: Our first take

Bluetooth trackers are a dime a dozen. There’s the Tile, a one-time-use Bluetooth tracker. Then there’s the LassoTag iBeacon, an inexpensive alternative with a rechargeable battery and thermometer. There’s also the Protag Duet, a colorful, circular adhesive tracker with up to eight months of battery life. And there’s the TrackR, a wireless tracker with a one-year of battery life and global positioning. But the market’s increasingly crowded nature hasn’t stopped new entrants from trying their luck. And the latest, the Pixie Point, is the most promising yet — on paper, at least.

At first glance, the Pixie Point appears to offer a veritable cornucopia of useful tracking features. A proprietary app promises to reveal the precise location of nearby Pixies with an easy-to-spot arrow icon. Pixies create their own local mesh network that enhances the accuracy of tracking. And Pixie Points resist water and don’t take in dust.

But all too often, the Pixie Point fails to deliver on its promises. That’s not to say it’s altogether useless — more often than not, the Pixie helps to point in the general vicinity of missing objects — but it stumbles more often than might be expected of a Bluetooth tracker at its price range.

Good ideas, poor execution

The Pixie Point experience is a polished package, though. The app provides simple onboarding instructions — and than it’s off to the races. Once you’ve downloaded the latest Pixie app, you’re instructed to designate one Pixie Point as an “anchor” — it’ll remain affixed to the top-right corner of your iPhone or iPad while you’re performing searches. Next, you’ll pair each additional Pixie Point by following the app’s provided diagrams. Once that’s done, you’re free to begin attaching the remaining points to the valuables you’re most worried about misplacing.

Its fairly self-explanatory from that point (no pun intended). The app includes a list of Pixie Points you’ve paired in the recent past, replete with their respective distances (in feet or meters, depending on your preference) from the anchor Pixie. Tapping on one launches the search interface, which requires you to “scan” your surroundings by holding your iPad or iPhone at arm’s length and sweeping slowly in the direction of the onscreen arrows. It’s sort of like taking a panoramic picture.

Unfortunately, it’s a little erratic. In our experience, the Pixie app had to do quite a bit of “scanning” before it had an adequate picture, so to speak, of its surroundings. It wasn’t uncommon for our reviewer to complete a couple of cycles in any given direction, and scans tended to be a little unpredictable. Some took seconds, while others took close to a minute.

Unfortunately, it’s a little erratic.

Once the app is finished scanning, though, the Pixie Point really shines –at least in theory. The app’s headlining asset is an augmented reality Pixie Dust feature that overlays an animated cloud of colored dust atop the location of the Pixie Point — even through walls and furniture. Audio cues of increasing loudness let you know when you’re getting close, and when you’re within a few feet, a “metal detector” interface — a moving gauge with red and green indicators — indicate the Pixie Point’s distance from the item within inches.

At least, that’s how it’s supposed to work. We had trouble getting the Pixie Dust display to work properly. In the absolute worst cases, it appeared in the opposite direction of the Pixie Point, realigning only when our reviewer began to walk toward it. It made a time-consuming process even more cumbersome.

We did find the “metal detector” genuinely useful. The steady beeping served as a good, reliable indication of our closeness to the Pixie Point, in some cases getting us back on track when the Pixie Dust led us astray.

Impressive technology, but poor user experience

The technology behind the Pixie Point is incredibly impressive. It creates a mesh network that ostensibly enables precise, GPS-like triangulation of each unit within a certain radius (150 feet outdoors and 50 feet indoors). The app lets you assign names to Pixie Points in order to better organize them — you can name one “car keys,” for example, and another “laptop” or “pet collar.” And you can create kits of things — say, a work bag — and receive an alert when objects go missing from it.

In contrast to some competing Bluetooth trackers on the market, Pixie Points don’t sacrifice features for compactness. They measure 1.9 x 1.4 x 0.1 inches, but last up to 12 months on a charge. (Unfortunately, the battery isn’t replaceable — when a Pixie Point dies, you’ll need to buy a new one.)

All in all, the Pixie Point ecosystem has a long way to go. It’s disappointingly inconsistent. And even when it does work, it requires finagling to get just right. That had us wondering: Wouldn’t all that time calibrating the Pixie Points be better spent searching for them ourselves?

It’s a question Pixie will have to answer if it wants to convince buyers to fork over $50 for two Pixies or $100 for four. At those prices, it’s easily one of the more expensive Bluetooth trackers on the market. Tile Mate costs $25. The HButler Orbit starts at $30. If Pixie wants its solution to measure up to the market’s best, it has its work cut out for it.

The Pixie Point is available direct from Pixie direct. It’s only compatible with iOS devices for now, but an Android app is due later this year.

New Dell XPS 13 and 15 now available with fingerprint scanner, Windows Hello

Why it matters to you

If you want Windows 10 Hello support on your new Dell XPS 15, then you’ll want to place your order soon, and add the fingerprint option.

CES 2017 brought a number of new and updated notebooks, with Intel’s seventh-generation CPUs and Nvidia’s Pascal graphics architecture making their way into the mainstream. One of the most anticipated machines is the update to Dell’s XPS 15 workstation, which was officially announced after a brief unintentional outing on Dell’s website.

The new Dell XPS 15 features up to Intel’s quad-core Core i7-7700HQ CPU, Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 1050 GPU, and up to 32GB RAM, making it a powerful mobile workstation. There’s been some confusion, however, as to whether Dell was jumping on the Windows Hello password-less login bandwagon, and that’s now been clarified, as Windows Central reports.

More: Updated XPS 15 and new XPS 27 AIO headline Dell’s XPS line update for 2017

Many new notebooks feature Windows Hello, which allows users to securely log into their Windows 10 PCs with one form of biometric sensor or another. One of the more popular options is facial-recognition scanners, which use infrared scanners to make sure the person who’s looking at the screen is an authorized user. Another is the time-tested fingerprint scanner, which allows a user to swipe a finger and log in via Windows Hello.

When news of Dell’s updated XPS 15 first broke, it appeared that it would include a fingerprint scanner supporting Windows Hello. Looking at the initial product listings on Dell’s website, however, which showed models shipping in early February 2017, a fingerprint scanner couldn’t be found anywhere.

Apparently, the reason is relatively simple: A fingerprint scanner option was coming but wasn’t made available on the earliest configurable systems. According to Dell, “Folks should see configurations for XPS 15 on Dell.com get updated to include the fingerprint reader option during the first week of February.”

As Windows Central reports, the fingerprint scanner option is now available for the new XPS 15 at Dell.com. There’s even more good news: the newest XPS 13 notebook also now offers the same fingerprint option, which for all applicable models is selectable as the “Backlit keyboard, with fingerprint scanner” option for the reasonable additional cost of $24.50.

If you want an XPS 13 or 15 with Windows Hello support, then you’ll want to make sure to select the appropriate configuration. If you’ve already pre-ordered a new XPS 15 without the fingerprint scanner, then you’ll want to contact Dell and switch out your order.

Story originally published in January 2017. Updated on 2-2-2017 by Mark Coppock: Added information that the fingerprint scanner option is now available for purchase.

Web apps are about to integrate a whole lot more deeply in Android

Why it matters to you

Web apps are about to get a lot more easy to use and interact with on Android.

Web apps and Android apps are getting closer and closer in terms of user experience and on Thursday, Google announced the next stage in furthering that process. How? By integrating Progressive Web Apps more deeply into Android through App shortcuts that will show up in the phone’s app drawer.

In 2015, Google first started bringing web apps to Android through a Chrome for Android update — which allowed developers to create a prompt for users to add shortcuts to web apps to the home screen. Those shortcuts, however, certainly didn’t act the same as other Android apps. With these new updates, Google is trying to remedy that. The new Chrome for Android features will be rolling out to users over the next few weeks.

More: Users of iOS can now control Chromecast from their iPhone’s lock screen

“In 2015, we added a new feature to Chrome for Android that allows developers to prompt users to add their site to the Home screen for fast and convenient access,” said Google in a blog post. “That feature uses an Android shortcut, which means that web apps don’t show up throughout Android in the same way as installed native apps.”

Apart from appearing in the phone’s app drawer, web apps will also now be able to get incoming notifications from other apps and when you long-press one of those notifications, you will get the same notification controls that you get from normal Android apps — rather than the notification controls for Google Chrome.

A new menu item will also show up for Google Chrome for Android, allowing users to more easily add web apps to the home screen. Soon, you will be able to just tap on the Chrome menu, then tap a button that says “Add to Home screen.”

It will be interesting to see how web apps and Android apps merge over the next few years — and just how similar they become.

Google’s latest Live Case designs inspired by a New York City Ballet performance

Why it matters to you

Are you a big fan of the New York City Ballet? Google has a Live Case for your phone that you’ll flip for.

Google’s Live Cases allow you to add personal photos to a phone case, as well as opt for maps of your favorite locations. But the search giant also periodically partners with artists and companies to offer themed cases. The latest collaboration ties into designs worn by the New York City Ballet for “The Times are Racing.”

Opening Ceremony, a New York fashion firm, is behind the costumes of the performance, and the firm has also partnered with Google to release the same designs on Live Cases. These cases are only compatible with Google’s Pixel, Pixel XL, Nexus 5X, and Nexus 6P.

More: Discover new recipes and fine-tune your search results via the Google app

“The designs for this ballet also inspired Opening Ceremony’s Spring 2017 ready-to-wear collection,” according to the Google Live Case website. “To extend the creative collaboration, Opening Ceremony partnered with Google to bring the eight storybook prints from the runway to Live Case for a limited time.”

Opening Ceremony says the designs are influenced by the following words: Defy, fight, protest, act, unite, and change. The words embody “what it means to be American.

There are eight designs to choose from, but there are six more from Opening Ceremony that were added earlier. The cases are $40 and are available now for the four aforementioned smartphones. There’s also an accompanying wallpaper you can access via the Live Case app.
