title: “Lighter Smaller Headsets Could Make Vr More Immersive” ShowToc: true date: “2022-12-29” author: “Jordan Davis” University of Rochester researchers have come up with a new way to make VR glasses that are compact and easy to wear. The glasses are made by imprinting freeform optics with a nanophotonic optical element called “a metaform.” Innovations like this one could soon make VR gear more immersive. “Today, device makers have to make tradeoffs between immersion and portability because a device with a high-quality display and a high refresh rate will likely consume more computing power,” Thomas Amilien, the CEO of virtual reality company Clay AIR, said in an email interview....

This is one of three weapons players who pre-order the game can obtain, along with the Kijinmaru Kunishige and Tsuyano Usukurenai swords. With all the different, elaborate combat styles protagonist Sakamoto Ryoma can use, it’s not altogether surprising that one of the potential weapons they can wield is a giant ship’s cannon. However, there is a much deeper story behind this weapon’s inclusion beyond the ridiculousness of fighting with a massive cannon, and it ties into this period in the real-world history of Japan and the country’s relationship with foreign nations....

Lenovo Vibe X2 is likely to be equipped with a 5 inch screen and would be launched in two variants. The first variant would be powered by an Intel Corp. Atom processor, while the other would be having the Intel variety (the X2-TO) which is considered as the more powerful version. The device’s 5-inch IPS LCD display would have a pixel resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels. The Lenovo Vibe X2 would sport the memory of 2 GB as well as the internal storage capacity of 16 GB....

Lenovo Yoga Tablet 10 HD+: Design When you first lay eyes on the Yoga Tablet 10 HD+, you may mistake it for its predecessor. The design remains very similar to the Yoga Tablet 10, with the same sleek chassis that sports a cylindrical protrusion at the base. See the best tablets. That cylinder is designed to make the tablet easier to hold, and it certainly does the trick, putting most of the weight of the tablet (which weighs 615g) in your hand to enable better balance and grip....

Having failed to secure his desired move back to Barcelona in the transfer window, Neymar made his first appearance of the season in Saturday’s Ligue 1 meeting with Strasbourg. The Brazil star was booed by PSG fans with almost every touch but went on to score the winning goal in the 1-0 victory with a stunning overhead kick in the 92nd minute. The 27-year-old said afterwards that he expects every game to be like an away match given PSG fans’ frustration with his desire to leave the club....

A. Let that rookie, Dillon Maples, stay on the mound and take one for the team? He’d pitched the day before in his big-league debut. B. Bring in one of the eight relievers who are still available? (Chicago is rolling with an 11-man ‘pen after a September roster expansion.) C. Put an outfielder on the mound to make his debut with the franchise? Of course you chose C, because you’re Joe Maddon....

McCoy was a member of the Chiefs in 2019 and looked on as Mahomes led the franchise to its first Super Bowl victory in half a century as it came back to beat the 49ers in Miami. Mahomes was named MVP of Super Bowl 54 — adding to his NFL MVP award in 2018 — and received a record contract extension worth up to $503 million this offseason that reflects his status as one of the league’s leading passers....

The former Philly back was traded by Kelly to Buffalo during the offseason and since then has had a string of incidents in which he’s made it clear the two didn’t, and don’t, get along. During a conference call Wednesday in advance of Sunday’s Bills-Eagles game, McCoy didn’t back off his previously expressed animosity.

The goal was to remake the political landscape–to drive out the Palestine Liberation Organization and install a right-wing Christian Lebanese leader prepared to sign a peace deal with Israel. But Operation Peace for Galilee ended in failure. Lebanese and Palestinian guerrillas armed with RPGs and AK-47s put up a fierce resistance–an important psychological breakthrough for Arabs conditioned to defeat at Israeli hands. Israel’s drawn-out occupation in South Lebanon fostered Shiite suicide attacks....

For the first time in Supreme Court history, gay men and women were seen not as some powerful lobby trying to subvert America, but as the people we truly are – the sons and daughters of countless mothers and fathers, with all the weaknesses and strengths and hopes of everybody else. And what we seek is not some special place in America but merely to be a full and equal part of America, to give back to our society without being forced to lie or hide or live as second-class citizens....

Now you know why Darren Sproles was given the nickname “noseeum” during his tenure with New Orleans. Sproles somehow remains as dangerous as ever at age 33, and the Eagles on Friday rewarded him with a one-year contract extension that will keep the running back in Philadelphia through 2017. Then again, calling the 11-year pro a running back sells him short … almost as short as Sproles himself. MORE: Ranking NFL’s top 10 running backs...

Strict good versus evil moral choice systems are nothing new, and have come under fire in recent years for being reductive zero-sum games compared to more modern, morally conflicted protagonists. Barnard told Game Rant he believes developers can, and should, do more with morality in games. Unlike the binary spectrum in Red Dead Redemption 2 and the black-and-white ethics of BioShock, Let’s Build a Zoo allows players to switch between diabolical and saintly actions, allowing them to carve more distinctive - and amusing - moral paths....

Another reality check. I can scarcely count the number of times I’ve taken cabs and, for that matter, buses and subways, sporting what some American friends think of as a colorful version of a surgeon’s smock. I have even enjoyed wearing an Indian collar under a winter coat and being respectfully addressed as “Father” by New Yorkers who take me for a Catholic priest in clerical garb. But this is the first time I’ve had to be nervous about flaunting my kurta pajama in the street....

Can War Crimes Be Justified? Thank you, NEWSWEEK, for having the courage to write about the kind of atrocities that human-rights groups have been calling attention to since the war on Afghanistan began (“The Death Convoy of Afghanistan,” Aug. 26). You are right that “there is no real moral justification for… combat if it is not to defend the rule of law.” There are many of us who believe that war is never the answer in the first place....

The man, 22, identified as Omar Soto-Chavira, was brought into police custody at about 11:30 p.m., the Associated Press reported. That was more than 10 hours after the standoff with the authorities began. Sergeant Josh Bartlett of the Lubbock County Sheriff’s Office was shot and killed during the incident. Three officers were treated for minor injuries and Levelland Police Sergeant Shawn Wilson underwent surgery for a gunshot wound, and he is now in a stable condition, according to the AP....

Bayern were without leading goalscorer Lewandowski as they suffered a 2-1 defeat to the defending champions at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday. Ancelotti: Bayern are not dead A shoulder injury sustained in the 4-1 Bundesliga victory over Borussia Dortmund consigned the Poland international - who has scored 38 goals in 42 appearances in all competitions this season - to the stands for the visit of Madrid. However, Bayern chairman Rummenigge is sure their star striker will be ready to play in the return fixture at the Santiago Bernabeu next Tuesday....

Kimi Raikkonen looked good for most part of the race, but couldn’t overtake Vettel for a place on the podium. Williams’s Felipe Massa and Valtteri Bottas finished fifth and sixth. Mercedes used their two pitstop strategy to perfection even as experts predicted Ferrari’s lighter tyre usage could give them the edge. Hamilton has now extended his championship lead over Rosberg to 13 points, while Vettel is still in second with 55 points, four points clear of Rosberg....
