At CES 2019 Hyundai and WayRay presented the result of their collaboration, which is the world’s first holographic augmented-reality (AR) navigation system.
According to Hyundai News, the latest generation navigation system will project real-time navigation prompts and supporting information onto the windshield via bright and accurate holographic images. For example, while the vehicle is moving, the system may warn of a potential hazard.
Both sides will continue to cooperate for further development of the holographic technology, which will allow using it not only during normal drives, but also when walking and cycling for pedestrians and cyclists accordingly. It is also planned to implement such advanced features as ADAS and Highway Driving Assistant (HDA).
“This demo car is the first step of the proof of concent (PoC), but is an important step towards technology driven innovation. Future mobility windshields will be more than just a piece of glass. AR holographic powered glass will serve as a platform to provide new services and open up new in-vehicle experiences”, – shared the CEO of WayRay.

There is still not much information about this mystery phone, maybe it is a marketing strategy of Samsung. However, some details did leak into the web, and we are going to share them with you.
According to the publication of The Street, one of the main suppliers of Apple, the Taiwanese chip-producing company TSMC, published the data on its profits and revenue in Q4 of 2018, which indicate that the sales volume of Apple keep falling.
Although the earnings of the company did rise to $9.4 billion, but the group revenues dropped by 14% and, as many people believe, will keep falling.
We remind you:
TSMC predicts that in the following years the situation will get worse and worse. The representative of the company mentioned:
“Moving into first quarter 2019, we anticipate our business will be dampened by the overall weakening of the macroeconomic outlook, mobile product seasonality, and high levels of inventory in the semiconductor supply chain.”
Taking into consideration the reduction of demand for smartphones and the overall recession of the global economy, soon Apple will have to take measures to prevent massive money losses. The company is already planning to cut down the expenses for hiring employees in some departments.

The release of the trainers was shown on Twitch. The latest version of the trainers are called Nike Adapt. They retail for 350 dollars.
Beside the self-lacing feature, the shoes actually adapt to the foot of the person wearing them, depending on internal and external factors. Nike Adapt can also be customized according to the owner’s liking through the smartphone application.
“During a normal basketball game the athlete’s foot changes and the ability to quickly change your fit by loosening your shoe to increase blood flow and then tighten again for performance is a key element that we believe will improve the athlete’s experience,” the representative of Nike described the footwear on the example of basketball.

The video content platform YouTube revised and restricted its policy regarding the content allowed to be published. From now on, you cannot upload videos that contain pranks or challenges that may bring harm or be life-threatening.
“We’ve updated our external guidelines to make it clear that challenges like the Tide pod challenge or the Fire challenge, that can cause death and/or have caused death in some instances, have no place on YouTube,” is mentioned in the official post.
The YouTube channel owners will be given 2 months to review and alter their content, afterwards the videos found unfit by the moderators will be deleted from the platform.
It is believed that such drastic measure were taken after the video of a boy who crashed car while participating in the Bird Box Challenge.
Bird Box is a movie, starring Sandra Bullock, where the characters had to wear blindfolds to protect themselves from monsters who made all humans kill themselves in case of a direct eye contact.
After the movie came out, the Bird Box Challenge started, which basically involved walking around in a blindfold. The challenge caused a lot of harm and damage, so that even the creators of the movie asked people to stop it.
“Pranks with a perceived danger of serious physical injury that make victims believe they’re in serious physical danger” will also be prohibited on YouTube. This was required by the psychologists working with the moderators.
