Photo by Vjeran Pavic / The Verge Microsoft has ended production of its HoloLens 2 headsets, with no sign of a replacement ahead. UploadVR reports that HoloLens 2 will still get “updates to address critical security issues and software regressions” until the end of 2027, but production of the headsets has now ended. Software support for the original HoloLens headset will reportedly end on December 10th, too. Microsoft originally unveiled its HoloLens headset in 2015, promising the augmented reality goggles would power the future of virtual worlds. Microsoft then followed up with the HoloLens 2 in 2019 with a wider field of view, eye tracking, and more powerful specs. Microsoft’s struggles with HoloLens have been apparent over the past two years. Former HoloLens boss Alex... Continue reading…

You won’t need to remember to leave the door open on Whirlpool’s new washing machine. | Image: Whirlpool Whirlpool has announced a new feature for its front loading washing machines. Called the FreshFlow Vent System, it will dry the appliance’s drum, door, and rubber seals after a wash cycle. The system will reduce the risk of mold and bacteria growth, and will save you from having to remember to leave the washer’s door open to passively dry its interior. The new FreshFlow Vent System is being introduced on a pair of new Whirlpool washing machines ranging in price from $999 to $1,199 that are available now. The new feature doesn’t run automatically once a load of clothing has been washed; instead, the system requires you to close the washer’s door and start a “Dry Drum,” cycle, which uses a fan to completely dry out the interior of the...

Focus and exposure are now in the Camera Control menu for Halide. | Image: Lux Halide, a popular advanced camera app for iOS by the company Lux, is releasing a new update that adds manual photography “Adjustments” features for the iPhone 16’s Camera Control button. In version 2.17 (now available), you can adjust focus and exposure on Camera Control; there’s also a new “Locked” mode to lock down some manual settings so an accidental swipe won’t ruin your current shoot. Halide’s founder Sebastiaan De With says the Exposure adjustment can be set with an exposure bias “three times” that of Apple’s (plus or minus 6 EV vs 2) and that the Manual Focus on Camera Control is a “really nice, smooth experience on iPhone.” Lux also has its own review of the iPhone 16 Pro’s camera. Halide already supported the iPhone 16 Camera... Continue reading…

I finally made the switch to the iPhone 16, and I picked the larger iPhone 16 Plus. After a few days with it, I have lots of thoughts about it as I adjust to the larger size. But I've been able to test the new Camera Control button, one of the highlights of the iPhone 16, and I'm equally excited and frustrated. Picture this: you're out and about, and you need to snap a quick photo of something around you. You press the Camera Control button, but then you can't take the picture using the hand you're holding the iPhone 16 Plus with. That means you have to use your other hand to tap the screen and get the picture. So... what's the point of the Camera Control button? I'll explain everything in greater detail, as there are several things to consider to better understand my experience. Continue reading...

Many 21st century Indigenous groups are descended from peoples who decorated the walls of caves, cliffs, and rocky outcroppings with impressive collections of rock art. These ancient peoples used drawings, engravings, and illustrations for the purposes of intergenerational communication, as they wanted to make sure the memories of their beliefs and experiences would be preserved indefinitely.In a new research project, a rock art expert from Poland looked more closely at the work of modern Indigenous artists from Central Asia (Siberia and Kazakhstan) and Canada, to discover how much they have been influenced by ancient artistic traditions.Ancient Themes by Modern Hands According to archaeologist Andrzej Rozwadowski from Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan, Poland, rock art explores themes that should resonate with Indigenous groups still today. The purpose of his research was to find out how frequently Indigenous artists incorporate such themes into their work and to what extent they did so intentionally, as a way to help modern peoples reclaim their deeply historical cultural identities.

By examining ancient walrus DNA, an international research team led by Lund University in Sweden have retraced the walrus ivory trade routes of the Viking Age. They found that Norse Vikings and Arctic Indigenous peoples were probably meeting and trading ivory in remote parts of High Arctic Greenland, several centuries before Christopher Columbus “discovered” North America. The study is now published in Science Advances. "On a more human level these remarkable encounters, framed within the vast and intimidating landscapes of the High Arctic, would probably have involved a degree of curiosity, fascination and excitement."
