Mattel introduced its famous View-Master stereoscopic toy more than three-quarters of a century ago (1939), but today it is returning to children's rooms, as the world-famous toy manufacturer has, with the help of Google, upgraded it to the extent that the former 3D display images using color filters instead of virtual reality display. Goodbye playgrounds.
Microsoft continues to push the boundaries with its Lumia smartphones, but not so much in terms of user experience and technology itself, but rather the price, which continues to slide down. Which is clearly encouraging news, as the Lumia, with the working name of RM-1099, should be available for less than 60 euros. Obviously, you won't get a Fittipaldi for this, but it will satisfy all those users who still use smartphones "on a whim" or who are not too demanding.
LG is betting a lot on smart watches, otherwise it wouldn't have introduced its third model in a relatively short time. The LG Watch Urbane, like the G Watch R and the diametric opposite of the Apple Watch, is a classic watch in appearance, but in reality, the heart of Android is hidden under the dial. LG is not sending a unisex model to the market, as it will be available in gold and silver, as it counts on both sexes equally.
Steam, the online toy service of the publishing house Valve Corporation, recently recorded a record rush for their most popular PC game Dota 2, with as many as one million simultaneous users (1,075,464). The magic limit is nothing compared to the bar set by League of Legends (Microsoft Windows platform), which was simultaneously played by 7.5 million players, but in absolute terms, the Steam platform leads here as well.
Will Apple add an electric car to its product repertoire is a question that has been stirring the web for some time, but now the media has also picked up on the matter. In recent months, more and more experts from various fields of the automotive industry (Mercedes-Benz, Ford,...) are resigning and leaving for Silicon Valley. Time will tell if the news about the car is true, but the fact is that Apple has all the conditions to become the dictater of automotive trends.
Boston Dynamics, a company owned by Google, has introduced a four-legged robot called Spot. It is the latest marvel of robotic technology, with the most sophisticated autonomous walking to date. Thanks go mainly to advanced sensors, excellent software and artificial intelligence, which is reflected in the incredible adaptability of the Spot, for which neither stairs, nor icy floors, nor slopes strewn with stones are a problem. But he also takes the kick stoically.

The motion sensors, central base and door and window sensors are simple and visually unobtrusive. The security alarm system for the home works via the Scout iOS application, and its connection across rooms ensures quality protection. With this kind of alarm, you will not only be safe, but also quite "geeky".
Where's Wallet is a smart wallet that you won't lose. Well, fortunately, we rarely lose our wallets, but that's why we often forget or store them. But while we can call the phone or use an app for that, that doesn't come into play when looking for a wallet. Well, if we correct ourselves immediately. That's where the Where's Wallet comes in, a classic but smart sensor wallet that's raising startup funds on Kickstarter.
Since users spend more and more time on the Internet, Simobil has prepared an upgraded Orto Gigastik package, which offers a record 6 GB of data transfer.
The Moment Case is an iPhone 6 case designed for mobile photographers. It brings four features that we have been missing from DSLR cameras in this industry of photography. The possibility of better shots in less time, more control over image capture, support for different lenses and the possibility of hands-free portability. That it is a great thing is evidenced by the success that the Moment Case achieved on Kickstarter.
Reach79 is a smart cover that answers the prayers of those asking for a good mobile signal. Because while it's pretty amazing how many things we can do with an iPhone; book a hotel, check your heart rate,... most smartphones, despite all the goodies they've gotten in recent years, are really only as "powerful" as their signal strength. So no more drag-and-drop downloads and dropped calls due to technical glitches.
You won't get the most accurate map of the universe at a gas station or tourist office, and you won't be able to unfold it on the dashboard of your car either. But the screen will be big enough for you to be able to see the result of a study for the scientific journal Nature, where scientists, while mapping the galaxies close to us, discovered that the Milky Way is part of a huge celestial structure of 100 thousand galaxies called Laniakea or "the vast sky". .
