It is reported that Vaunt equipped with plastic frame, weighs less than 50 grams, a little heavier than normal glasses, is far lighter than Google Glass and other smart glasses products. Unlike other smart glasses, Vaunt does not have a camera, but instead controls a lower-power laser to project 400x150-pixel red monochromatic images in the human eye.

Intel said Vaunt's main goal is to provide users with simple notifications. This kind of smart glasses is more hidden than smartwatches, allowing users to view notifications while engaged in other activities. Vaunt lets users see each other's personal information when they call. In addition, Vaunt's motion sensors are also capable of detecting a user's location, for example, providing them with a recipe or shopping list if they are detected in the kitchen.

Some fear that the laser will hurt the eyes, but Mark Eastwood, Intel's new equipment group executive, said Vaunt's laser power is low and the Vaunt's display is even more invisible, which allows users to wear this smart glasses and will not seem exaggerated.

Vaunt also has Bluetooth capabilities for connecting to smartphones and is equipped with an application processor, compass, and accelerometer. It may also be equipped with a microphone in the future, allowing users to use voice assistants such as Alexa or Siri. For applications, Intel said Vaunt will be a completely open platform, and the company will introduce an early access program and software development kit (SDK) for developers to develop applications.

Since the size and appearance of this Intel smart glasses are just like the normal glasses, to protect and store your smart glasses better, you can put the glasses in a glasses case box so that it won’t get broke accidentally.

Uber launches e-bike rental service in the United States

This month, Uber launched the APP bike rental service for the first time for users. Rental bikes are provided by San Francisco e-bike company Jump. Jump plans to launch 250 e-bikes in San Francisco in the next 18 months, followed by another 250 e-bikes in the next nine months.

Unlike the GoBike Shared Cycling Project that Ford Motor Co. has launched in San Francisco, the rental bike offered by Jump is an electric bike. Both Uber users and Jump users can find the nearest bike, then unlock, ride. There are already many Uber users who plan to apply for the Jump bike, but the current coverage of the project is still relatively small. By comparison, by 2018, the Ford GoBikes project will have 7,000 bicycles on the market.

These bikes are priced at $2 for the first 30 minutes and will be billed on a minute basis. If you travel on a daily basis, the price is still relatively high. You can also consider owning a xiaomi folding bike which is the most high-performance e-bike in the industry. Even though the price is not very low, but you can ride it every day with the least effort.

Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi had previously predicted that flying cars would be put into operation in the United States in the next 10 years. Khosrowshahi told the DLD Technology Conference in Munich, Germany that in the next 10 years in Dallas, Texas, people will be able to travel by air. Khosrowshah believes that crowded urban transport is one of the issues that Uber can help solve, such as by increasing the number of electric vehicles. He also believes it will take 10 to 15 years for the commercialization of a fully automated taxi because of the amount of energy it takes to create 3D maps and the cost of the sensors.

Khosrowshah recently announced that Uber plans to launch unmanned taxi. Uber previously conducted an unmanned taxi test on a pilot US urban road and purchased 24,000 driverless cars from Volvo in November 2017. Under a non-exclusive agreement signed by both parties, Volvo will supply Uber their XC90 flagship SUV with automatic driving technology to Uber from 2019 to 2021.

Rare! Never happened in 150 years, supermoon + blue moon + total lunar eclipse!

There will be two supermoons on the first and last night of January, and the second supermoon will have a "special" red light. On the 31st of this month, when you look up at the sky, you will find that the moon is not like any moon you have ever seen. The total lunar eclipse will appear on the supermoon, and the full moon eclipse will be seen from western North America to the Pacific and East Asia.

"Supermoon" means a full moon that is 14% bigger and 30% brighter than the usual full moon, which appears when the lunar full moon is closest to Earth's orbit. The orbit of the Moon, orbiting the Earth, is oblique, so it usually falls beneath the shadow of the Earth. According to scientists at NASA, nearly two full moonsets each year are often perfectly integrated with the Earth, and the sun shields Earth's shadow from the sun's rays, which are usually reflected on the moon.

"Blood moon" usually occurs when the total solar eclipse occurs. When the earth is on a straight line between the moon and the sun, it covers the direct sunlight. However, there are still some sun rays bypassing the edge of the earth. After being filtered by the Earth's atmosphere, purple, blue, green and yellow light are absorbed, and thus a strange red light is projected onto the moon to form a "blood moon". This mysterious appearance usually has a slightly reddish color due to the atmosphere doubling the light.

The blue moon has no relationship with the color of the moon but refers to the second full moon when there are two full moons in a month, which is also very rare.

There will be a full moon, a total lunar eclipse, a blue moon, a blood moon and a supermoon that night. Of course, the rare astronomical phenomenon can not be missed. So, prepare the monocular telescope and a barrel of beer, bring your friends, and witness the marvelous phenomenon that has not appeared in more than 150 years together.

Fitness devices may leak US military information

Strava is a fitness tracking software developer whose products leverage mobile GPS to track when and where a fitness user is and aim to create a social network for exercisers. Last November, the company released a map showing the physical activity of users from around the world - the Global Heatmap, a global user fitness route heat map generated by Strava using GPS information on fitness wristbands and other devices. As the military promotion of fitness bracelets, the United States soldier around the world has become a loyal user of such products.

Global Heatmap was released in November 2017 and includes GPS information for about 27 million users between 2015 and 2017. Just recently, Nathan Ruser, an analyst at the Institute for United Conflict, found something that people probably would not have thought of at all - a map that would make it easy for some to find the location of a military base and the daily activities of people there. In war-torn areas such as the Middle East, locals do not use the "high-end" equipment such as fitness bracelets, so the content displayed on the heat map clearly reveals the confidential locations, base locations, supply lines and patrol routes of the local U.S. military personnel. In addition to the United States, Russia's sensitive information was also leaked, including its base in Syria.

In response, he posted several screenshots on Twitter to validate his theory, which shows the regular jogging routes, patrols and front-line operations in Afghanistan. In response, a spokesman for the U.S. Central Command and Air Force Colonel John Thomas told the media that the military was investigating the heat map. Earlier, the U.S. military was already aware of similar problems. To this end, the military has made provisions prohibiting service personnel from bringing personal electronic devices to sensitive areas. In this situation, I will also suggest you guys try some smart devices from other countries like the xiaomi mi fitness tracker so that your personal privacy can be protected better.

Strava spokesman said the company has been working to make users better understand their privacy settings, the map on behalf of the user uploaded to the platform of anonymous activity data, but does not include from the marked as private or user-defined privacy Regional activities.
