iPhone 8 to come with augmented reality support !




Apple's next iPhone could be a big deal for augmented reality, according to Goldman Sachs analyst Simona Jankowski, who noted as much in a memo, obtained by Benzinga.

It's likely that Apple is planning something big for its 10 anniversary iPhone and a lot of signs are pointing towards AR as an integral part of it, regarding the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus.
For starters last week a report surfaced that Apple is working closely with Lumentum, a tech company developing 3D sensing technology.

A known Apple analyst, Ming-Chi Kuo, has speculated that Apple's augmented reality tech will be 3-5 years ahead of the competition, which doesn't say that much - AR hasn't been a well-developed concept in tech thus far.

Finally Tim Cook himself has expressed a passion for augmented reality, stating that whereas virtual reality "closes the world out" augmented reality "allows an improvement on what's happening presently."

There's no telling what augmented reality route Apple could go for - using a sensor on the back to work with the main camera to recognize objects in the frame or using a front-mounted sensor for iris or face recognition. We have already seen how good the Google Tango project is , which is an augmented reality project and works pretty well .

boAt Stone 1000 review : A Monstrous Speaker in budget !

Hey, what's up guys its Ayan here from The Tech Info House .  So today I'm gonna review the boAt Stone 1000 Bluetooth speaker which is available in Amazon for just ₹2699 (Price may vary in accordance with the time period you purchase in).  Now if you recall we have already tested a few speakers from the company boAt and they haven't disappointed us yet.  Now talking about the boAt Stone 1000 its a speaker that is actually huge in size but at the same time, it is portable as it can fit in easily in a backpack. But to be honest, it isn't something that you will carry around every day.  Anyways the speaker is really well built, it has a rugged design and is also IPX5 water and dust resistant. Now this monstrous box comes along with 2 speakers on the front jointly providing a 14 Watt output, the audio quality of which we will be checking soon. Anyways on the right side of the speaker, there's absolutely nothing.  On the back, there is a passive radiator along wit...

NVIDIA announces GTX 1080 Ti at $699 ! The Best ?

NVIDIA has announced the much anticipated flagship of the GeForce series, the GTX 1080 Ti. Based on the same GP102 GPU as the Titan X (Pascal), the 1080 Ti offers nearly the same gaming performance as NVIDIA's most powerful single GPU graphics card but at nearly half the price. The 1080 Ti is closer to the Titan X than it is to the 1080. It takes the GP102 GPU from the Titan X but with two of the 30 SM units disabled. Both cards have the same number of CUDA cores at 3584, same 224 texture units and the same 12 billion transistors but the 1080 Ti has 88 ROP units compared to 96 on the Titan X. However, the 1080 Ti is clocked slightly higher at 1480MHz base clock and 1582MHz boost clock speed compared to the Titan X. In terms of memory, the 1080 Ti has 11GB GDDR5X, one less than the Titan X. The memory interface width is also slightly lower at 352-bit instead of 384-bit. However, due to improvements and optimizations to the memory, the memory on the 1080 Ti is actually faster, with 1...
