Teenager rids cars of blind spots using a webcam and projector

As every cyclist knows, the blind spots caused by a car's roof pillars can be extremely dangerous. Although companies are working on various high-tech solutions for this problem, a 14-year-old from Pennsylvania has taken a more low-tech approach to create an ingenious fix for the issue.

The Google Pixel 4, Apple iPhone 11 Pro, and the rise of Computational Photography | Upscaled

In just a few years, phone cameras have gone from "just alright" to being capable of taking some truly impressive pictures. The most impressive part is that they've done so while the hardware of smartphone cameras has barely changed. Sure, sensors and lenses have improved a little, but the software is what is really behind these high-quality phone cameras. So-called computational photography uses algorithms and machine learning to combine and stack pictures to produce a result beyond what the phone would normally be capable of, and the new iPhone 11 Pro and Pixel 4 are leading the way.

The best fitness headphones and earbuds you can buy in 2019

We've pulled together a few picks that should suit most workouts. While you can expect decent audio quality from all of them, decisions about workout gear, come down to personal preferences. Because of that, we've included over-ear models, noise-canceling champions and some reasonably priced headphones that punch above their weight.

Apple AirPods Pro first look: A big improvement

Earlier today, I popped in a set of Apple AirPods, jumped onto an uptown 6 train, and began a short journey to our New York office. That would be a pretty apt description of any of my daily commutes to work, but today was different: Because I was using the new AirPods Pro, I didn't have to dial up the volume dangerously high to hear my music over the din. Apple's new, $249 wireless earbuds hit stores tomorrow, and they're a big improvement over the models we've already gotten used to. As you probably guessed, we're putting together a full, comprehensive review we'll publish later on, but the AirPods Pro have made a strong enough impression that I had to share a few thoughts now.

Airstream Bambi hands-on: Intro to the glamping lifestyle

The Bambi comes in 16 or 22 foot varieties, with 4 different floor-plans, and keeps Airstream's classic design sense. Classic doesn't mean outdated, though, the Bambi is packed with USB ports, built in sound system, and optional WIfi, GPS, and solar hookups.

Tesla's Smart Summon feature is confusing some people

Tesla's handy Smart Summon feature was hailed as the next big thing in motoring convenience when it was first announced earlier this year. Press a button and the car comes to you? Brilliant. But as a few Tesla owners have recently shown, there's still a pretty big gap between the way Tesla says the feature should be used, and how people are actually using it.

GoPro Hero 8 review: Smooth just got smoother

The Hero 8 isn’t foolproof, but it’s heading in that direction. The clever new design and the new UI make this the friendliest GoPro yet for newbies and experienced users alike. For me, I’m actually excited about using a GoPro again, in a more creative way. Rather than routinely using it in the same mode all the time. And that’s more important than ever, now that DJI is providing some much needed competition.

Apple iPadOS review: A clear new direction

At the end of the day, I can’t help but feel that iPadOS 13 is a more significant update than iOS 13 — not only does it include more stuff, it also suggests we’ll start to see the feature gap between iPhones and iPads grow wider before long. Good. That’s how it should be — Apple has long insisted that the iPad represented its vision for the future of computing, and it’s about time the software powers it all steps it up.

OnePlus 7T hands-on: Useful upgrades at a reasonable price

OnePlus doesn't want its fans to have to wait a year for a phone with the most advanced chipset available. So in 2016 it started launching new flagships about every six months. Beginning with the OnePlus 3T, the company began doing sort of mid-cycle upgrades, or "T" variants each year. Then with the OnePlus 7, the company introduced a "Pro" version, offering a higher-end device for those willing to pay a bit more. Things got even more confusing when OnePlus got ready to launch the T-versions. For one, there's no Pro version. At least not yet. Instead we're only getting a OnePlus 7T. And weirdly, it gains some features once exclusive to the 7 Pro. It even packs a more powerful processor, but sticks with a lower res screen.

Boston Dynamics' Atlas robot now does gymnastics, too

The latest footage from Boston Dynamics is, unsurprisingly, both impressive and terrifying. Over the past few years we've seen Atlas navigate uneven terrain and even jump around a parkour course. This is on another level, though. The bipedal robot does a handstand, rolls around and even does a few jumping twists -- all without losing its balance.
