Meta has been on a bit of a tear lately, snapping up AI researchers from Apple and OpenAI on an express train towards… something? What that something is, only time and a watchful eye will reveal, but apparently, a part of that future vision is a smartwatch. According to a report from DigiTimes, Meta is […]
These ‘4K-Like’ AR Glasses Are Actually Only 1080p, but I Want Them All the Same
When it comes to gadget specs, it’s best to be precise. For example, if you were buying a TV, you may want to know the resolution, and if you showed up to Best Buy and the tag on your brand-spanking-new Sony said “kind of, sort of, 4K,” you’d probably have some questions. Same goes for […]
