Huawei Mate 20 brings 3D Live Object and 3D Live Emoji

-

One of the highlights of Huawei's unveiling of its Mate 20 Pro is a new feature they're introducing called 3D Live Object. It may seem like a scene out of a sci-fi movie (or maybe even Black Mirror if you're freaked out by all of this) but this is apparently now possible in real life through Huawei's newest smartphone. They are also introducing the 3D Live Emoji which aims to compete with the likes of Apple and Samsung's own 3D bitmojis but wants to take it a step further.

There are already 3D Live Objects pre-loaded into the Mate 20 Pro when you buy it but what makes this feature more special is the fact that you can actually scan real-life objects. You can then later add them to videos that you take with your smartphone's camera and they will be able to interact with their environment. Huawei claims it's like bringing and object to life and making "fantasy a reality".

You will be able to control the 3D object with a digital button and joystick that is built-in to your camera. The former can make them do certain actions like cross step, run, jump, and other simple actions. The latter lets the character move around. The 3D Live Emoji wants to take on Samsung's Bitmoji in this sense, except that it might be able to make the emoji move around just like the object as well.

The Live Emoji action is possible because of the Huawei Mate 20's array of front-facing and back-facing cameras, sensors, and tools. The front-facing one has a 24MP RGB camera, a dot projector, flood illuminator, proximity sensor, ambient light sensor, an IR camera, and even front-facing speaker. The rear camera tools include a 40MP camera with wide angle lens, a 20MP camera with ultra wide angle lens, an 8MP camera with telephoto lens, a single LED flash, and of course their standard Leica certification.

The Huawei Mate 20 Pro has 6GB RAM and 128GB storage so on paper it will be able to handle all of that 3D Live Objects and Emoji things that you plan to do. It is priced at around $1215 so you may want to save up for this one.

For many of us, email is mission control—the prompt to generate an invoice, prepare a presentation or follow up on a sales opportunity. With so many to-dos, imagine if you could complete these tasks directly from your inbox without interrupting your workflow. We believe email can do more, which is why we're launching Gmail Add-ons, a new way to work with your favorite business apps directly in Gmail.

Apple is postponing new iOS features in favor of reliability and performance

-

Apple has decided to postpone new features in iOS in favor of improving the reliability and performance of the operating system, as according to a report by Axios. According to the report, Craig Federighi, Senior Vice President, Software Engineering, announced the revised plan to employees at a meeting earlier this month. This pushes features like refresh of the homescreen and in-car user interface, improvements to core apps like Mail and camera experience to 2019. What we will get this year is improvements to AR, digital health and parental controls. Apart from that, the OS will largely feature improvements to performance and user experience. We have seen Apple do this with macOS in the past, where they dedicate one entire update cycle to just refining the OS and make existing features work better. However, we have never quite seen Apple do that on iOS. This is largely due to the hyper competitive nature of the mobile market where competition and customer demands push companies t

DJI Mavic Air: could this be the definitive drone?

DJI showcased its new Mavic Air drone in New York. The third quadcopter in this series is of similar quality to its predecessors and can also fold its arms for better portability. For its size, no competitor offers so much in terms of photo quality. Release date and price The DJI Mavic Air can be ordered through the official DJI website  and is also available from other retailers. The drone is available in three colors: marengo grey, white and red. We can buy the Mavic Air in a basic pack with remote control, protections, charger, cover, propeller replacement and a battery from US$799 (£769 in the UK). Often, one battery is not enough so there is a more complete pack available with three batteries, charger for four batteries and two propeller replacements from $999 (£949 in the UK). The red model reminds me of a Porsche. / © AndroidPIT Design and build quality In essence, it is th
