Published by Webster

Snapchat introduced a new artificial intelligence (AI) feature on Thursday that uses its in-house foundational video models.

Snapchat Gets AI Video Lenses In a newsroom post, the social media platform detailed the new AI feature. These AI Lenses are powered by the company’s in-house generative video model.

Dia Mirza recalls wearing light-coloured lenses after comparisons with Aishwarya

Actor Dia Mirza, who won the title of Miss Asia Pacific in 2000 recalls that she was constantly compared to Bollywood beauty and former Miss World Aishwarya Rai after stepping into the film industry. Dia reveals that to conform to the idea of beauty back then, she started wearing light-coloured lenses, which to her was ridiculous.  Dia Mirza on beauty standards in showbiz  In an interview with Zoom, Dia Mirza shared, “When I started out as an actor, there was a lot of comparison with former beauty queens, especially Aishwarya Rai. It was, of course, a huge compliment at the age of 19 because I was just starting out. Having said that, it was also a very dangerous trend.” “For the first 3-4 years of my career, I wore light-coloured lenses in all my films. It was ridiculous because I was desperately trying to conform to their idea of beauty. It was also bizarre that despite having won an international beauty title, I was not comfortable with who I was,” she added. Dia Mirza’s acting …

Hyderabad FC players celebrating after securing their first point Hyderabad FC has been hit by a huge financial issue over the past two years. This season, they have a new club owner on board, and they are recovering from it. However, the young squad under Thangboi Singto has been fighting valiantly since the start of the season. Despite the defeats, their spirits have always been high. The optimism paid off when they held a much stronger Chennaiyin FC to a stalemate, despite going a man down after Parag was sent off.

32°N Muir adaptive focus sunglasses review: liquid lenses for Gen X

Published by Webster

Glasses are the defining feature of the nerd emoji, 🤓 but add a dark tint to those lenses, and suddenly you and the emoji are cool. 😎 Glasses with chips are for “glassholes” and reading glasses are for olds — and nothing, I think we can agree, is lamer than an over-40-year-old like me. So what happens if you combine reading glasses with sunglasses and put a chip in that so discretely that nobody can even tell?  That’s what Deep Optics has done with its latest 32°N-branded Muir sunglasses that I’ve been testing for the last few weeks. A swipe on the frame sends an electrical signal to the two liquid crystal lenses to change the state of millions of tiny pixels so that close objects come into focus. As such, these 32 Degrees North specs eliminate the need to carry (and lose) both reading glasses and sunglasses — at least, that’s the promise made in exchange for $849 of your hard-earned money. 32 Degrees North Muir $849 The Good Eliminates need to carry both sunglasses and reading glasses …

Another company has stopped working on smart contact lenses

Published by Webster

One of the companies working on smart contact lenses is calling the project off. On Friday, Mojo Vision announced that it’s going to “pivot its business and focus its resources” on the MicroLED display tech it built during its work on the Mojo Lens (via Axios). Unfortunately, part of the pivot includes laying off around 75 percent of its workers as it restructures, according to a news post from the company’s CEO, Drew Perkins. The company had around 150 employees, according to data from PitchBook and LinkedIn. The post says the reason for the change is that Mojo hasn’t been able to keep raising money to work on its smart contact lens. “The slumping global economy, extremely tight capital markets, and the yet-to-be proven market potential for advanced AR products have all contributed to a situation where Mojo Vision has been unable to find additional private funding,” wrote Perkins. When the company showed off the Mojo lens at CES 2020, it was clearly still far from hitting the market. The 14,000 pixel-per-inch screen in the …
