Not even a fortnight since Microsoft’s Project Natal aka Kinect launch, hackers & developers have managed to break the Kinect code and forge an open source driver. Now, the real experimentation have begun. The latest concept being demoed on YouTube, comes from Oliver Kreylos has developed a C++ implementation of Kinect that allows for 3D reconstruction of a room using a single Kinect system. By combining the color and the depth image captured by the Microsoft Kinect, one can project the color image back out into space and create a “holographic” representation of the persons or objects that were captured....

Lenovo Legion 5i Pro: Build and Design The Legion 5i Pro comes in an aluminum body with a matte finish. Our variant with the white color looks absolutely stunning and is certainly an eye-catcher as it easily attracts attention. Since most gaming notebooks come in matte black or gray, the Legion 5i Pro offers a white color that breaks stereotypes and appeals to us at first glance. Lenovo also offers a black color option, but we think the white variant certainly looks more appealing in this case....

“Power Hungry” aptly describes a large number of users these days with increased usage of Internet and gaming. But then a big bag of juice for a phone would also mean yielding to gravity in all its weight. Lenovo has an answer – the P2. The successor to 2015’s P1 and P1 Turbo, that was launched in IFA 2016, has now launched in India. We had a chance to use the phone for more than a week, and boy are we excited to tell you what it is all about?...

And just when we thought we had seen pretty much everything, Lenovo has coaxed a rabbit out of its hat with the Vibe Z2 Pro (or Lenovo K920), which makes the price tags of all the Android flagships in the market seem downright obese. It’s got the looks! We think Lenovo turned a massive design corner last year with the Lenovo K900 and the Vibe X. The company had been in the phone business before those two worthies came along, but it was the K900 with its metallic build and the insanely thin Vibe X (6....

The new logo is made of interconnected letter “L” and “E” which obviously stands for Le Ecosystem and the interconnected letter represents a closely knit ecosystem. The re-branding has also prompted the Chinese company to change its website domain name from LeTV.com to Le.com. Le has now eliminated the usage of the word TV from all its main and sub branding. At the occasion, Ablikim Ablimit, Vice President of Strategy said that “Letv is where we started, but LeEco is our future” he further added that “We will create a more beautiful eco world with new value for our users, and our brand-new logo will bring users into this exciting world....

Micromax did have an offering in the phablet space, the 5.3-inch Canvas Doodle, and has just given it a major refresh with the Doodle 2. While the dual-SIM phablet’s mainstay is its humungous 5.7-inch display, it also brings a few features never seen on Micromax phones before — an aluminum casing for example. Let’s get up close and personal with the Doodle 2, shall we? Design and Hardware When we reviewed the Canvas 4, we said it’s the most well-built device from the Micromax stable....

From the changelogs, it is but evident that the update is more focused on polishing the current features and bake in the pending business features which were announced at the time of the launch. Microsoft likes to call the update 1511 but will actually show the version as 10586 once installed on the computer. Another catch is that if you have updated to Windows 10 in the last 31 days you are not entitled to get the 10586 as of now, the reason being that Microsoft wants you to upgrade incrementally so that you can roll back the changes....

The Surface Pro 2 still carries the 10.6-inch ClearType HD display, but with additional 46% color accuracy. Microsoft claims that Surface Pro 2 is faster than 95% of laptops today, but that’s clearly due to Intel’s Haswell processors inside the VaporMG casing of Surface Pro 2. As we know, Haswell greatly enhances the battery life with its low power requirement while increasing the graphics performance by 50%. The new Docking Station accommodates the Surface Pro 2 with the power cover attached, and is loaded with three USB 2....

Design innovation varies in direction proportion to phone price If it is a budget segment smartphone, you can expect it to come with little to no design edges. In fact, the design would probably be an extra in this tech film. Move up to the mid-segment; you might see different colors, textures, or patterns on the back. But most mid-segment smartphones adhere to the same design basics, making the design more or less a side character, the sort you do not give a second glance to....

For, the OnePlus 7T picked up some of the features that were the preserve of the Pro – the display with the 90 Hz refresh rate display, the triple camera set up – and even got a better processor (Snapdragon 850+), all this while still having a price tag that was significantly lower than that of its Pro bro (Rs 37,999 as against Rs 48,999). And by doing so, it also presented those thinking of investing in a OnePlus device with a new quandary – should they go for the OnePlus 7 Pro or the OnePlus 7T?...

We do need to get some clarity here. There seems to be a lot of confusion....

Today, of course, one can change an image with a few taps on one’s phone, thanks to the likes of Instagram, Pixlr, and even Adobe’s own Photoshop Express. But most mobile image editing apps restrict themselves to adding filters that change or add color accents to an image. What if one wanted to do something, well, more artistic, without getting caught up in the whole ‘layer editing’ business? Well, that is where Prisma comes in....
