Samsung Purchases Company Responsible For Developing 25X Zoom Telephoto Module

If the name Corephotonics sounds familiar to some of you, it’s because prior to this, the mobile camera module maker was responsible for the development of the OPPO’s Dual Camera Zoom technology. That features a 5x lossless zoom dual camera module. The feature first came to light during MWC 2017 as a prototype, but never progressed any further beyond that state. On that note, OPPO also recently announced its new 10x lossless zoom mobile camera technology....

Samsung Wants To Make An Ai Chip That Mimics The Human Brain

The human brain has an estimated 100 billion neurons, so Samsung says that the ultimate neuromorphic chip will require 100 trillion or so memories....

Sony A7S Iii Prototype Leak Suggests Built In Fan Ability To Shoot 4K 120 Fps

If the rumours are to be believed, Sony wouldn’t be the first company to use such a cooling solution in a full-frame mirrorless camera. Previously, Panasonic managed to cramp in a built-in fan in its S1H camera, that in turn is capable of shooting 6K video at 24fps. However, further details of the leak suggest that the prototype a7S III does not record in 8K. Petapixel speculated that given that the camera is capable of shooting at 4K at 120 fps, there is a possibility that it can record in 6K at 24 fps....

Sony Has A Patent That Lets You Use Bananas As Controllers

The idea behind the patent is simple, wild as it is. You can basically turn any “non-luminous passive object” as a controller. The patent even comes with images of a banana being used in this manner. For this to work, you’ll need something like a PlayStation Camera. This will be used to recognise the object that you’re using as a controller, and also track what you’re doing with it to serve as inputs....

Steam Deck Ui Will Replace Big Picture In The Future

This came from a Valve moderator, austinp_valve, as an answer to a question in the Steam forums. But while they said that it will happen, there’s no date as to when it is going to happen. But chances are it will happen later rather than sooner. Some would say that it’s about time that the Big Picture mode got an update or overhaul. As PC Gamer points out, it was first added in beta back in 2012, but the last time it got updated was all the way back in 2015....
