We know Microsoft is working on a handheld, and for those who just can’t wait to see a prototype, industrial designer Banseok Seo’s Xbox Half concept teases what such a device could look like. One feature we hope the real Xbox Handheld has is dual-booting, enabling users to partition the main drive into two halves for separate operating systems.
Stanford researchers have developed 3D AR eyeglasses that look at normal at first, but they actually combine holographic imaging with artificial intelligence. More specifically, a pair of prototype augmented reality glasses that basically use holographic imaging to overlay full-color, 3D moving images on normal-looking lenses.
We know robots can make coffee, but this ultrasonic coffee machine can make a cup of cold brew in under 3-minutes. UNSW Sydney engineers started with an existing Breville espresso machine and then equipped it with their own patented sound transmission system.
There’s the flux capacitor alarm clock, and then this custom-built digital clock that uses sand to tell time. Álvaro Gómez Giménez came up with the idea after being intrigued by persistence of vision gadgets, which use the human eye’s afterimage phenomenon to create the illusion of a continuous moving image.

The BlackBerry Pi was first unveiled several months ago, but now, modder Taylor Hay has nearly completed the build. Unfortunately (or fortunately), this isn’t a Windows-based handheld computer, but rather one running either Raspberry Pi OS or Linux.
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has possibly detected atmospheric gases surrounding 55 Cancri e, a hot rocky exoplanet located approximately 41 light-years from Earth. Why is it so hot? The planet orbits just 1.4 million miles from its parent star, resulting in a surface that is likely to be molten.
