The Bose audio-focused augmented reality (AR) glasses get an official launch-- called "Frames," the glasses promise "the future of mobile sound in the tiniest, thinnest, most lightweight Bose system ever."
Frames glasses are available in 2 styles, squarish (Alto) or rounded (Rondo). Both are matte black, weigh 45g and look essentially like regular eyewear. However they do carry what Bose describes as a "wafer-thin acoustic package" inside each arm able to produce sound for the user (and no one else), without need for earbuds. The glasses pair with a companion Bose Connect app, while control comes through a multi-function button embedded in the right temple. Bose claims battery life clocks at around 3.5 hours, with charging taking place via included pogo-pin cable.
IMAX Enhanced was launched back in September 2018. It involves a certification committee of IMAX and DTS engineers, plus technical specialists from Hollywood. Receivers bearing such certification should be able to deliver IMAX digitally re-mastered 4K HDR content and IMAX signature sound mixes delivered by DTS.
The sensor is made of soft material and is all of 2mm thick. It works on any size mattress, and tracks the sleep time, heart rate, breathing and snoring of one person, even with two on the bed (for the sleep tracking of a second person a second tracker is required). In addition, it also measures bedroom temperature and humidity, allowing one to to learn the best conditions for a good night's sleep.
As the first Amazon Go location outside the US, the London store would also be the UK flagship. The Sunday Telegraph says the Amazon US team is taking care of the opening (as opposed to the UK team), and the search for a retail site between 4000 and 5000 square feet in size has been going on since at least October 2018.
