Arduino-powered Time Machine Glove can stop moving objects in their tracks

We’re all for cool Arduino-powered DIY projects, and there are very few Arduino-powered DIY projects cooler than YouTuber MadGyver’s DIY Time Machine Glove. With a name like that, how you could not love it?

Of course, the Time Machine Glove doesn’t really cause a temporal rift in the space-time continuum, although it certainly does a neat job of simulating it. As can be seen from the above video, it can pull off feats such as “freezing” a fan mid-spin or stopping drops of water as they fall — all with the wave of a glove. This illusion is carried out by way of a strobe light that’s attached to the glove’s palm. On the back of the glove is an Arduino, which lets the user control the frequency of the strobe.

By timing the strobes correctly (for example, every time the fan blades are in one position) it’s possible to make it appear as though time has ground to a halt entirely. By steadily decreasing the strobe’s frequency, meanwhile, time can appear to slow down. This perceptual phenomenon is known as the “stroboscopic” effect, and occurs when a continuance motion represented by a series of short or instantaneous samples comes into conflict with the sampling rate of a viewing device.

For this reason, it is most commonly associated with the “wagon-wheel” illusion seen in old movies, in which the spoked wheels on a horse-drawn cart can appear to be turning backwards. In the case of the Time Machine Glove, however, the effect works regardless of whether you’re filming it or viewing it in person.

The resulting creation may be relatively pointless in terms of applications, but it’s certainly all kinds of awesome in terms of pulling off a trick that’s going to impress your buddies — and make you temporarily feel like you’re a superhero, to boot!

That’s where the really cool part of the project comes into play, since MadGyver has made the instructions for the DIY Time Machine Glove available online so that others can, well, do it themselves. Detailed instructions can be found on Instructables and Github, and the good news is that, as homebrew projects go, this one’s not actually too difficult to build.

Who’d have thought that time travel could be so straightforward?

The Nikon D5 heads to space for (unmodified) work aboard the ISS

The Nikon D5’s extreme ISO range helps the camera see in the dark — and that low-light capability will soon be shooting photos that are, quite literally, out of this world. On Sunday, November 12, 10 Nikon D5 cameras launched as part of the OA-8 S.S. Gene Cernan Cygnus resupply mission for the International Space Station.

NASA has used Nikon since Apollo 15 in 1971 and earlier this year ordered 52 Nikon D5s for both Earth and ISS use. Nikon says the D5s are unmodified and will be used with lenses already at the ISS, previously used with the D4 cameras on board.

After launching on Sunday, the Cygnus is expected to reach the ISS around 4:50 a.m. on November 14. Launched by aerospace company Orbital ATK, the spacecraft will deliver equipment and supplies before conducting experiments while docked at the ISS for about three weeks. The Nikon gear is part of about 7,500 pounds of supplies.

While the Cygnus is docked, the ISS will use the extra space to experiment with TangoLab, a reconfigurable research facility. The experiment, Obital AKT says, will explore the potential ability to expand the ISS capabilities temporarily.

Once the spacecraft has finished with the mission, the Cygnus will be destroyed when reentering the Earth’s atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean, a safe, destructive reentry, the company says.

The Nikon D4 has been working on the ISS since 2013, with an initial delivery of 38 cameras and 64 lenses. Last year, NASA delivered another 10 of the full frame bodies to the Space Station.

The successor to the D4 arrived to consumers in March of 2016 with a new processor for 12-frames-per-second burst shooting. The camera’s list of highlights also includes a 152-point autofocus system, an ISO range expandable past three million, and 4K video.

After equipping Apollo 15 with the Nikon Photomic FTN, Nikon has supplied NASA with a number of different cameras, including the F3 and F5 before the digital D2XS. Since the D3S, the NASA-bound cameras have been the same models available to consumers, without modifications the ISS, Nikon says. On the ISS, the cameras are used for shooting images both inside the station and outside.

Pixel 2 and 2 XL exhibit flickering when using the camera under LED lights

The issue is only affecting some users, but it’s unclear at the time if software will be able to fix it.

There have been more than a few bugs with the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL since their release last month, and while display controversy surrounding the XL model received the most attention, we’ve seen other issues here and there that have proven to be equally annoying. Most recently, users are reporting that the camera on the Pixel 2/2XL exhibits a flickering motion when taking a photo or video under LED lights.

So, what exactly is going on here?

All LED lights have a natural flicker that ranges from 50 to 60Hz, and it’s something that’s not perceivable to the human eye. However, certain cameras are capable of picking up this flickering and display it over what you’re trying to capture. As fate would have it, the sensor on the Pixel 2 is one such camera.

It’s a bit difficult to describe exactly what’s going on with words, so to make things a bit more clear, take a look at this video that was recently uploaded to YouTube by apa1.

This phenomenon was also discovered by Chazzdjr in the Pixel User Community, with images captured on a plane turning out as follows:

A couple of representatives from Google have stated that they’re aware of the issue and will make sure that the right people see what’s going on. I personally can’t replicate the flickering on my Pixel 2, and according to other users, this is something that’s only affecting certain handsets. It’s unclear if a software update will be able to fix this, so we’ll have to wait and see what the Mothership says.

Deal: Pixel C tablet down to £299 in the United Kingdom

New savings on an old gadget.

Android tablets (and really, tablets in general) have gotten a lot less popular over the past couple of years. The last tablet that Google ever released was the Pixel C that came out back in 2015, and while it offered a great design and gorgeous display, the high price and soemtimes wonky performance made it hard to justify its $599 asking price (not to mention the extra $150 for its keyboard).

Google never really did come off of that $599 listing, but for our readers over in the United Kingdom, you’ve finally got a deal that just might make the Pixel C still worth it in late 2017.

Right now on the Google Store in the U.K., you can buy the Pixel C for £299 (normally £479) and the keyboard accessory for £73 (rather than £119). Along with this, buyers in France, Germany, Ireland, and other countries throughout Europe can pick up the Pixel C for slightly more at £349. There’s no sale in the United States, but that’s because the Pixel C is out of stock there.

Google’s likely running this discount to clear out whatever remaining units of the tablet it still has, and considering its age, we can’t imagine that there will be a lot to go around. As such, if this sounds like a deal you’ve been waiting for, we advise acting on it as soon as you can.

Senators want FEC to improve transparency for online political ads

It’s not just companies like Google asking the Federal Election Commission to improve disclosure for online political ads. A group of 15 Democrat senators (led by Sens. Claire McCaskill, Amy Klobuchar and Mark Warner) has filed an official comment calling on the FEC to take “immediate action” increasing the transparency for internet political ads. Russia took advantage of exemptions in political ad law to influence the 2016 presidential election without revealing its involvement, the senators argued, and that could be “the norm” if the Commission doesn’t step in. Internet ads should be scrutinized just as closely as their TV and radio counterparts, according to the senators.

The filing comes just a day before the end of a comment period on a proposal that the FEC should update its election ad rules. It also follows less than a month after a bipartisan group of senators introduced a bill that would ask online companies to follow the same political ad rules as conventional media.

There’s no guarantee that the comments will influence the FEC’s position. However, it illustrates the sense of urgency among those worried Russia will try to skew future elections. The 2018 midterms are less than a year away — if there’s going to be any kind of impact, lawmakers can’t afford to wait.

Bose uses Indiegogo to test wireless earbuds for sleep

It may seem odd for a proven audio company like Bose to take to crowd-funding, but an Indiegogo campaign for the company’s upcoming noise-masking wireless earbuds (or ‘sleepbuds’) makes a lot of sense as a beta test its fans can pay to get into. The sound-isolating buds act like a white-noise machine, only plugged into your ears.

“Tiny and ultra-comfortable,” wrote the company in the description for its promotional video, “our new Bose noise-masking sleepbuds replace the unwanted noises that keep you up with soothing sounds that lull you to sleep. But before we launch them later in 2018, we’re looking for our Indiegogo audience to help us test our prototype and provide feedback.”

The campaign is still in its prototype stage, which means it only has a working demo of the “sleepbuds.” The devices have a rechargeable micro-battery for two nights of sleep per charge, noise-isolating eartips and sound-masking technology that includes soothing sounds preloaded on the built-in flash memory. They come with an Earpod-like charging case that will keep the buds charged when not in use. As the sleepbuds are designed to sleep in, you can set a personal alarm for the morning, letting you wake up without your partner hearing the alarm sounds.

The $249 earbuds were available at a significant discount for early backers; all four of these options have been sold out. The project has reached more than 850 percent of its initial $50,000 funding goal with 24 days left in the campaign. This will be the audio maker’s second set of totally wireless buds; Bose announced its SoundSport Free wireless earbuds made expressly for exercising just last month. According to the Indiegogo page, Bose acquired San Diego-based startup Hush, which was instrumental in making some of the technology included in the new earbuds.

Tesla hit with another lawsuit claiming a racist work environment

Tesla is the subject of another lawsuit regarding racism in the workplace, Bloomberg reports. Over 100 black employees have filed a suit against the company saying that Tesla’s production floor is a “hotbed for racist behavior.” In the complaint, which was filed today, they said, “Although Tesla stands out as a groundbreaking company at the forefront of the electric car revolution, its standard operating procedure at the Tesla factory is pre-Civil Rights era race discrimination.”

This isn’t the first time Tesla’s work environment has come under fire for harboring racial harassment. One employee brought a suit against the company in March as did three more just last month. Suits have also been brought against the company for workplace sexism as well as LGBT discrimination.

One of the employees included in this most recent lawsuit said that other employees and supervisors used the “N word” often and after he filed a complaint with human resources, he was fired for “not having a positive attitude.” The complaint filed today also notes an email sent by Elon Musk to Tesla factory employees. Bloomberg reports that in it, the CEO says, “Part of not being a huge jerk is considering how someone might feel who is part of [a] historically less represented group. Sometimes these things happen unintentionally, in which case you should apologize. In fairness, if someone is a jerk to you, but sincerely apologizes, it is important to be thick-skinned and accept that apology.”

The employees included in the lawsuit are petitioning to sue as a group and are seeking both general and punitive monetary damages as well as an implementation of company policies aimed at preventing harassment.

EA makes ‘Star Wars: Battlefront II’ heroes easier to earn amid backlash

Video game studios sometimes tinker with their games until release day, but Electronic Arts is making another last-minute change to soothe legions of irate fans. After the high price to unlock heroes in the upcoming Star Wars: Battlefront II caused fans to revolt, EA relented. The publisher told fans in a blog post that, effective immediately, a handful of iconic characters including Luke and Darth Vader would be far easier to earn.

EA cut down the cost of ‘top heroes’ by 75 percent. Luke and Vader are 15,000 credits (the in-game currency), while Palpatine, Chewbacca and Leia are 10,000, while the game’s solo campaign protagonist Iden Versio will cost 5,000.

Fans had criticized how well-known heroes available by default in the first Star Wars: Battlefront needed to be unlocked in the sequel, and how difficult it was to earn enough credits to do so. In Battlefront II, in-game currency is earned by time spent in multiplayer matches; Over the weekend, fans calculated that it would take 40 hours to get 60,000 credits — the price to unlock a top hero. Which means, even with the discount, that it’ll take fans 10 hours of in-game time to unlock Luke or Vader.

Yesterday, a Redditor shared their outrage that franchise favorite Darth Vader was locked. A reply by an EA Community Team employee who said the cost was intended to “provide players with a sense of pride and accomplishment for unlocking different heroes” was heavily ridiculed and became one of the most downvoted posts in Reddit history. Unfortunately, overzealous fans have taken it way too far and harassed the game’s developers — even sending death threats, which, and I can’t believe I have to write this, is never okay.

It’s the second time EA has tweaked the game’s reward mechanics following backlash. After the open beta last month, players and critics were outraged that anyone could get a noticeable advantage in multiplayer by buying randomized loot crates. Subsequently, EA publicly responded to the feedback and reserved the most powerful of upgrades for merit-only unlocking.

In its blog post, EA noted that this instant discount is “a big change, and it’s one we can make quickly.” It will go live today ahead of the game’s launch on November 17th, but players who pre-ordered Battlefront II for early access should see the discount when they boot the game up tomorrow. While heroes Finn and Captain Phasma will join the game next month before The Last Jedi hits theaters in Battlefront II’s first DLC, it’s unclear how credits-expensive — and ergo attainable — they’ll be.

Study Suggests Apple Watch Heart Rate Monitor Can Detect Hypertension and Sleep Apnea

The Apple Watch may be able to accurately detect hypertension and sleep apnea, according to a new study published today by the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) and Cardiogram, a company that’s developed an app that breaks down heart rate data collected by the Apple Watch.

Using data collected from 6,115 Apple Watch owners and interpreted by Cardiogram’s deep neural network “DeepHeart,” the study found that the neural network was able to recognize hypertension (aka high blood pressure) with 82 percent accuracy and sleep apnea with 90 percent accuracy.

Based on previously-established principles suggesting people with low heart rate variability are 1.44x more likely to develop hypertension and that algorithms can accurately determine sleep apnea by beat-to-beat rate variability, Cardiogram and UCSF researchers recruited people for an eHeart study and then trained the DeepHeart neural network to detect new variables.

Cardiogram co-founder Brandon Bollinger told TechCrunch the DeepHeart neural network was trained using data from 70 percent of participants, and then tested on the remaining 30 percent who were not used for training purposes. Of the 6,115 people who participated in the study, sleep apnea was detected in 1,016 participants and hypertension in 2,230.

The study results are promising enough that Cardiogram believes with additional research, wearables like the Apple Watch could be used as a cost effective way to test for hypertension and sleep apnea.

The result was accuracy high enough to support feasible, cost-effective, widely-deployable screening of hypertension and sleep apnea.

For sleep apnea, DeepHeart achieved an accuracy (c-statistic, or AUC ROC) of 90%, with several attractive operating points. For example, we can detect 52% of sleep apnea ( compared to 20% today) with a specificity of 97%. If a specificity of 82% is acceptable, then we can detect even more sleep apnea, about 75% of people. For hypertension, the AUC was 0.82, with an example operating point of 81% sensitivity at 63.2% specificity.

Cardiogram says that peer-reviewed clinical research will be necessary to further determine whether wearables are able to screen for major health conditions like sleep apnea and hypertension, but the research results will be translated into future Cardiogram features.

Cardiogram previously used the same neural network and Apple Watch data to determine that the Apple Watch is able to detect abnormal heart rate rhythms with 97 percent accuracy. This has led Apple team up with Stanford for its own study on whether the Apple Watch can detect abnormal health rhythms and common heart problems.

In the future, Cardiogram plans to expand its research to additional conditions like pre-diabetes and diabetes.
