Microsoft Introduces Haptic Pivot Controller For Vr Simulates Realistic Physical Contact

What makes this controller unique is its ability to provide users with a sense of touch and feedback to their hands. This is achieved via a motorised handle that is worn on a user’s wrist, which will activate and make contact with their palm whenever they interact with a virtual object – such as grabbing an in-game ball or fruit. The Haptic PIVOT also frees the user’s hand from holding any form of VR controller when in-game, which further adds to the immersion....

Microsoft Requests Help From Amd To Cope With Xbox Series X And S Shortage

AMD is not only in charge of producing GPU and CPU for both Xbox and PlayStation, the company has also got its hands full with manufacturing its own GPU. Xbox head Phil Spencer also said he got on the phone with AMD CEO Lisa recently with regards to the matter. In this case, Microsoft is not alone. The same problem of supply shortage also happens to Sony too, since the PS5 uses a similar chip as the Xbox Series X does....

Microsoft Surface Pro 7 Ships Out 22 October Will Feature Usb C Port

It retains the same 12.3-inch PixelSense Display, and comes with the same Surface Type Keyboard and Surface Pen. Where the Surface Pro 7 sets itself apart from the Surface Pro 6, though, is its new USB-C port. The new port replaces the mini DisplayPort that previously shipped out with its predecessor. It’s a smart move on Microsoft’s part, especially since USB-C is more versatile and has more applications than a mini DisplayPort....

More Gopro Hero 8 Black Leaks Surface Media Module Accessory Adds Two Hot Shoes

The latest leaks suggest there’s a third accessory, in addition to the mountable display and external LED flash from before. It’s called the media module and it works almost like a case for the action cam. Not only that, it also adds two hot shoes to the camera’s body. This allows both the external display and LED flash to be attached to the GoPro Hero 8 Black simultaneously. The media module also comes with a built-in microphone....

Mysejahtera Suddenly Becomes Unresponsive For Some Users Reinstallation May Be Needed

In our experience, it began to become unresponsive when we tried to access the app’s vaccination section. Once we restarted the app, it got stuck in the check-in page that would welcome users when they open MySejahtera. Over there, we were not only unable to get the Check-In function running but we also couldn’t even close the page to get to MySejahtera’s home page. Even the account’s user name and risk status were also missing from it, as you can see in the picture above....

Netherrealm Studios Prioritising Mortal Kombat Due To Wb Uncertainty

Jeff Grubb of VentureBeat said in a new entry into the GrubbSnax Selects series that NetherRealm Studios is currently working on Mortal Kombat 12. As he puts it, it makes more sense to work on its own IP, rather than on Injustice 3. The argument here is that the studio knows that its own IP will sell well, even if it comes immediately after the previous game in the series....

New Nvidia Video Officially Confirms Cooler Design For Geforce Rtx 30 Series

The first indication, or hint if you will, starts at the 2:28 mark of the video, where a technical illustration about a graphics cards’ airflow is being explained. What is both interesting and important to note is the shape and direction of air flowing through the CAD mockup of the card. If anything, the air flow hints at the alternating dual-fan setup that we’ve seen sprouting up online over the last several months....

Next Gen Ps Vr To Feature 4K Resolution Gaze Tracking

Sources to UploadVR claim that the new PS VR will come with what is quite close to 4K resolution. Though more specifically, it is 4000 x 2040, or 2000 x 2040 per eye. It will also come with the kind of gaze detection tech that Apple’s mixed reality headset will reportedly come with. Called foveated rendering, this allows the headset to fully render parts that a wearer is looking at, while rendering things in the peripheral vision to lower graphical processing load....

Nova H1 Audio Earrings Are Wireless Earbuds In Disguise

As the name suggests, the Nova H1 are actual earrings as they are real audio products. One version lets you wear it the traditional way, with a stud to go through you ear piercing, while another clips on to your ear if you’re not into piercings. Either way, they sit pretty far away from your ear canal or the part of the cheekbones where conventional bone conduction headphones rest. Instead, they act more like miniature speakers that beam sound towards your ear canal, kind of like the original Sony LinkBuds....

Nuclear Blaze Is A New Firefighting Game By The Creator Of Dead Cells

To start, you are a lone fireman airdropped into a massive fire. As you’re putting the fires out and rescuing survivors along the way, you stumble into an unknown military base, which may be the secret behind the massive fire. Gameplay promises to be a lot more than just spraying water into fire though. As you go, you’ll also have to deal with backdrafts, exploding walls and sprinklers. Which is nice, as it highlights the realities of the job that are not immediately obvious while making the game more engaging....
