Visible wants to track your illness, more than your fitness

There’s no shortage of health and fitness trackers — the list of suppliers is as long as my arm, ranging from the mainstream (Apple, Google, Samsung, Fitbit, Withings) to the more esoteric and specialized (Polar, Suunto, Garmin). The assumption underpinning each of those devices is that you’re more or less healthy, and wanting to get in better shape. But what if you’re not healthy? Visible is lending its voice to the healthcare tech revolution — providing a much-needed spotlight on the underserved, all while offering…

I used a new type of smartphone that could replace Android

Joe Maring / Digital Trends When you buy a phone today, your first decision is to decide which operating system you want: Android or iOS. We’ve seen other platforms come and go over the years, from Windows Phone to Palm OS, but Android and iOS remain your two sole choices in 2024. One of the last things I saw at CES 2024 earlier this month was a smartphone operating system that’s trying to be that third choice between Android and iOS. It’s called Apostrophy OS (also referred to as AphyOS), and I got to play around…

An unknown company has a plan to change smartwatches forever

The Diesel On Fadelite X Mad Dog Jones smartwatch Andy Boxall / DigitalTrends “If you’re not in smartwatches today, especially as a traditional watch manufacturer, then we are the way that you get the right product for your customer.” This is how Steve Prokup, co-founder of Mijo Connected, described the firm’s business, and it has me seriously intrigued and excited about the future of smartwatches.

Glasses-free 3D gaming is amazing but needs to be done right

Jacob Roach / Digital Trends Glasses-free 3D is making a comeback. And please — don’t roll your eyes and write this off as a gimmick just yet. I saw two similar 3D gaming monitors at CES last week that used this technology and tracked your eyes to fool you into seeing depth in a 2D screen. It’s pretty convincing stuff, especially for games. I really want to see this technology come to fruition, but based on what I’ve seen so far, it needs to be done the right way if it hopes to get people’s attention. The term “3D”…

This mouse and keyboard are powered by mechanical energy

Lenovo Lenovo has a new proof-of-concept mouse and keyboard that can harvest mechanical energy to remove the need for external power. At first glance, they appear to be a standard mouse and keyboard set designed for gamers. Yet, their distinguishing feature lies in their dependence on manually generated mechanical energy, completely removing the necessity for charging. The wireless keyboard comes in a TKL (enkeyless) form factor with a total of 68 keys, RGB lighting support, and a sleek metallic gray color. At…

With big, expressive eyes, elfin ears and adorable cooing, Miroka and Miroki could be an apparition from your favorite cartoon.But te, and designed to perform the drudgery of logistical support in hospitals or hotels. "Why live with ugly machines," says Jerome Monceaux, head of Paris-based start-up Enchanted Tools, who was on hand to present the pair at the CES tech show in Las Vegas last week.
