Samsung might be working on a rather interesting system for facial recognition. One that involves two under-display cameras. It is described in a patent application Samsung filed with the KIPRIS (Korea Intellectual Property Rights Information Service) back in March 2021. The document in question was made public last week and picked up by a Dutch publication. At its core, the idea is fairly straightforward - get multiple images of the user from two angles to better construct a 3D model of the face and use that for…

PUBG Mobile has released a new anti-cheat system, and apparently it has already paid off by cutting cheating in the game in half. According to developer Krafton, the system, called Fog of War, helps combat cheaters using x-ray vision and wall hacks, which allow less scrupulous players to see enemies on the map that they should not otherwise be able to see. Fog of War has been so successful that cheating fell by 62 per cent in some regions. “The first of its kind in mobile gaming, Fog of War is an advanced anti-cheat…

Last Updated: September 24, 2022, 11:23 ISTThis is not the first time Indian Railways has installed Real Time Information System devices.These devices were installed in 93 trains of the Raipur Railway Division last year.The Indian Railways on Friday announced that it was installing a Real Time Information System for 2700 trains in 21 electric locomotive sheds. For this purpose, Indian Railways has collaborated with ISRO. In a statement, the Indian Railways said that RTIS devices will inform about the automatic acquisition…

Indian Railways is installing a Real-Time Train Information System (RTIS), developed in collaboration with the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), on locomotives "for automatic acquisition of train movement timing at the stations, including that of arrival and departure or run-through", the Ministry of Railways said in a statement on Friday."Real Time Train Information System (RTIS), developed in collaboration with ISRO, is being installed on the locomotives for automatic acquisition of train movement timing at the…

Samsung seems to be working on a dual under display camera (UDC) technology that will help it improve the facial recognition technology for the face unlocking feature, a patent filed by the South Korean company has suggested. This setup could include a way to scan the subject's face from multiple angles at once, therefore, creating a 3D/ stereoscopic scan to unlock the phone. The company uses a 4-megapixel UDC in the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and it is situated on the folding screen.As per the patent, which was filed in March 2021…
