YouTube’s new VR180 video format bridges the gap between 2D and VR, and it’s going to be a big deal.
At VidCon 2017, YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki announced some big things for the platform, including a mind-blowing statistic: 1.5 billion people watch YouTube videos monthly.
But one of the bigger topics discussed at the show was an upcoming video format called VR180, which combines virtual reality and regular old flat 2D content into a single video. Using new cameras that will be available from Lenovo, Yi and LG later this year, videos are shot in 180-degrees, so not the completely 360-degree notion of what we think of as traditional VR, but can also be watched on a flat phone or computer screen with ostensibly no loss in quality.
The idea behind VR180 is that, right now, traditional VR scenes must be filmed using either expensive proprietary cameras or lower-quality consumer hardware, like the Gear 360, and there’s very little incentive for someone to watch that film in 2D since it …
Google’s own carrier offering definitely has some appeal.
If you’re an Android enthusiast, you’ve likely already heard of Project Fi. But that doesn’t mean you necessarily know everything about it, so we’re here to give you the high-level look at the carrier option that comes directly from Google. Namely, just what the heck it is, how it works compared to other carriers and maybe a few reasons why you’d want to try it.
If you’re interested in checking out phone service from Google, be sure to follow along with some of the high points below and get acquainted with Project Fi.
What is Project Fi?
At the highest level, Project Fi is a phone carrier offering from Google. It works by giving you mobile data service on three mobile networks, which your phone will intelligently switch between — it also uses Wi-Fi to make calls and send texts whenever available. Project Fi is a “prepaid” carrier, meaning you pay upfront for your service in the trailing month, which is the oppo…
It’s like Google Assistant, only with torpedoes.
Ubisoft and Intel have partnered up to add voice commands to Star Trek: Bridge Crew, which means you can control your AI crewmates with your voice and actually get results when you get tired of shouting at humans who probably aren’t listening very well.
This update works for Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and PlayStation VR all the same way, so we’ve assembled this quick little guide to show you how to issue commands and the complete list of commands you can issue to really complete the Bridge Crew experience. Enjoy!

WhatsApp will soon let you share any file you want, as long as it’s under 128MB.
Currently, you can share photos, audio and video files, and PDF documents on WhatsApp, but the Facebook-owned messaging platform will soon allow you to share any type of file. As noted by WABetaInfo, the update is being tested with a small subset of users, and should be rolling out to WhatsApp’s 1.2 billion customers shortly.
According to the publication, you’ll be able to share any file with your contacts or in a group as long as it’s under 128MB on Android, 100MB on iOS, and 64MB on WhatsApp Web. Presumably, the file size restriction is put in place to ensure WhatsApp’s servers don’t get overwhelmed by users sharing high-res movies or 4K videos shot on their phones.
The update will also include the ability to share APK files, which will be of particular interest to users in India as it’ll make it easier for them to pirate apps and games. WhatsApp usage is ubiquitous in the country, and the service…
If you don’t want LTE — and let’s be honest, you don’t want LTE — Huawei’s original Android watch remains a fantastic option.
Android Wear is kind of all over the place right now. All the watches released in the past few months have either been ridiculously huge — hi there LG Watch Sport and Huawei Watch 2 — or underwhelming for other reasons — sup LG Watch Style, with sub-24-hour battery life. Even outside of the Android Wear world, the smartwatches of 2017 seem dead set on pushing superfluous features like LTE connectivity at the cost of aesthetics — whaddup Samsung Gear S3. And maybe I’m just weird, but the first thing I want from a watch is for it to look good. The functionality I seek from a wrist computer is relatively basic — show me notifications and keep the cruft to a minimum.
You’d think that wouldn’t be too much to ask. And yet it’s been surprisingly difficult to find a modern watch that delivers on those basic requirements, wit…
Find My Device lets you remotely track, lock, and erase the data on a lost or stolen phone.
Android Device Manager has picked up its first major update in two years, bringing a new visual layout and a new name: Find My Device. The app’s functionality isn’t changing — you’ll still be able to remotely track, lock, and erase the data on a lost or stolen phone — but the interface has picked up much-needed polish.
With the rebranding, Find My Device is now a part of Google Play Protect, a suite of services designed to protect your phone from malicious content. Google is leveraging its machine learning expertise to scan and verify the apps installed on your phone, and while the Verify Apps feature has existed since the Jelly Bean era, Google is making the process much more visible to users.
With Find My Device, you’ll also be able to see the battery life remaining on your phone and the Wi-Fi network it is connected to. Here’s what you need to know about Find My Device, and h…
The Indian government launches its latest salvo in a long-running fight with Google over mapping data.
The Indian government doesn’t have a high opinion of Google Maps, and it conveyed that sentiment today by saying that the service is “not authenticated” and calling into question its reliability.
That’s according to a statement made by the head of the country’s mapping and survey organisation, aptly named the Survey of India:
If you talk about the authentication, the Google Maps is not authenticated. It hasn’t been produced by the government, so they aren’t authenticated.
If you are using Google Maps to reach a restaurant or park, even if you reach 50 meters close to that place, you are happy. But when we have to put a new railway line or make canals, that is where our topographic maps come in, when you require very accurate, engineering quality data.
This isn’t the first time the Indian government has gone up against Google. Back in 2010, the government issued a noti…
Dual-SIM red U11 launches via HTC’s online store, priced £649.
Just a few days after its launch in the U.S., HTC has announced that the vibrant “solar red” version of its U11 flagship is now available to pre-order in the UK.
It’s available exclusively from HTC’s online storefront at HTC.com, where it sells for £649. Unlike the other U11 colors, the red variant is only available as a dual-SIM model — however, the dual-SIM version can be used just like its single-SIM counterpart, with a SIM + microSD card.
The solar red U11 is the most striking color for HTC’s latest smartphone, shifting between a deep red and bright, lustrous gold depending on the angle at which it’s held. Beyond the change in color and the addition of a second SIM slot, you’re getting the same excellent Android flagship we reviewed back in May: A speedy device with a unique glass-backed design, and one of the best cameras out there.

If you’re worried about things like IPv4 exhaustion, today is a good day. Google has just released an update for the Google Wifi app — and their Google Wifi and OnHub routers — that brings IPv6 support to the two networking devices. Other features in the new update include a warning when using the “Family Wi-Fi” feature to pause a connection on the current device, the ability to delete custom names, and a tool for benchmarking the speed of your mesh network.
Google Wifi & OnHub update adds IPv6 support and other new features [APK Download] was written by the awesome team at Android Police.
