While they scare us with the coronavirus, a lot of interesting things are happening in the world. In this article you will learn about cars in a smart city, glasses with mixed reality and amazing technologies that will soon be at your place.
The panic surrounding the coronavirus continues to grow, isolating entire states and affecting transnational corporations. And since the number of infected people is constantly growing, this hysteria will last at least until mid-summer. There is nothing surprising in the fact that large companies transfer their employees to their home mode, paying for their stay outside the office in full. Among the giants that have made such decisions, there are Amazon and Facebook.
However, life goes on, and a small startup Nreal, together with Clay AIR, introduced mixed reality glasses, which are smaller in size than HoloLens and at the same time can determine and track the movements of the hands of its owner, including punches, grabbing and other gestures.
The Nreal Light supports next-generation smartphones with 5G technology and is one of Qualcomm’s partners in promoting wearable mixed-reality devices. It is assumed that the glasses will go on sale by the end of this year at a price of about $ 500.
Last week, TCL introduced a tablet that can be folded three times. The Android device is still a concept rather than a final product, but it clearly demonstrates how you can turn your phone into a real tablet, and not just a slightly larger version of the same phone.
When opened, TCL Trifold turns into a 10-inch tablet, and when folded, one of the screens can serve as a stand for the phone.

Alphabet conglomerate and its Waymo company reach fifth generation autonomous vehicle. The system allows the car to “see” the world around it and make operational decisions. For this, cameras, radars and the LIDAR laser system are used.
In total, 29 cameras are involved in the new generation, which allow the car to see traffic signs at a distance of 500 meters.
Naturally, in a couple of years all this will be integrated into real transport.
At the same time, Alphabet announced the existence of Tidal, a project to save the inhabitants of the oceans and better understand the processes taking place there..
Tidal, using an extensive camera system, can track the movement of fish, their health, water temperature and pollution levels, helping fishermen get the treasures of the ocean without harming the environment.
The project has existed for three years and helps farmers to grow healthy and healthy fish using the minimum amount of antibiotics in feed.
Micro-machines are becoming the foundation of the city of the future. And the new product from Micro Mobility Systems from Switzerland offers a new look at urban mobility.
The Microlino 2.0 micromachine and the Microletta tricycle should be released this year at a price of about 12 and 5 thousand euros, respectively.
Both modes of transport can reach speeds of up to 80 kilometers per hour, and one charge is enough for 100 kilometers.
New items will be available in 2023.
Bats can navigate in space using ultrasound, so why not use a similar solution for drones? A number of researchers have created a system equipped with a microphone and speaker. The algorithm, capable of processing echoes from objects, helped drones actively navigate in space without flying into objects and without hanging in thought in front of ghostly walls.
It is possible that in the future this technology will be used in underwater drones and during night patrols, when it is impossible to navigate only by cameras.
