Massive new monitor...And MORE.
Hi Steemit, I am considering posting about daily tech news. I will summarize all the news in about 1 sentence and give an opinion on it. Since this is a new thing please leave a comment on what you would like to see!
Samsung reveals an new "Super Ultra Wide" monitor with a 32:9 aspect ratio (21:9 is a standard ultra wide) it is essentially two 1080p monitors stuck together. Let me tell you this thing looks beautiful and I can defiantly see it being amazing for multitasking, now we just have to see the price 😬.
GoPro shows off a new 360 degree camera called the Fusion. This seems like a good step for GoPro, their previous 360 degree camera was 6 GoPros attached together and cost $5000, the Fusion looks like a more "consumer grade" product.
SoftBank buys Google's Boston Dynamics. If you don't know either of these companies you obviously aren't all that interested in robotics, these are possibly the two biggest players in the game SoftBank is most famous for their robot Pepper that Pizza Hut (in Asia) uses to assist consumers and Boston Dynamics is famous for Big Dog a robot that is notorious for not being able to fall.
Pepper:
Big Dog:
Facebook files a patent for technology that will watch a user and judge facial expressions to show them more or less of a post or ad. Wow, this seems like something no one would ever use and a way for Facebook to just show more ads.
A new Hexacopter drone was revealed that can orient its motors in different directions causing some interesting flight patterns and ways to hover. This actually looks pretty cool and it can probably navigate the sky better than a standard drone, so maybe we can see some cool cinematography from this.
Amazon ends unlimited data cloud storage. I highly doubt this is because they are running out of storage but it seems like they found not a lot of users were not using over 1TB so they cut the data down creating a 1TB plan for $60.
Dota 2 releases there Co-Op campaign for Battle Pass users. I never have played Dota but I know this Battle Pass was a huge step for the game so hopefully this goes over well.
