Woojer looks to enhance the gaming experience with the Ryg-- a haptic feedback vest featuring an integrated 7.1 surround card and 8 haptic feedback zones, as well as support for just about every gaming machine, VR systems and even smartphones.
The idea behind haptic vests is to make players "feel" what is happening on screen, be it the rumble of a vehicle or a punch to the chest. To do so, the Ryg has an "Osci" oscillating frame actuator inside each of the 8 location-specific haptic zones, as powered by the surround card. The vest also promises to be plug-and-play through Bluetooth connectivity, as well as 3.5mm headphone output and stereo wired line-in with microphone.
Aesthetically the Razer Phone 2 remains very similar to the original, even if the all-edged design features a revamped aluminium frame, glass back and an illuminated Razer logo on the back acting as a notification LED. The display also promises improvements, since it handles 2560 x 1440 resolution with HDR support, 645 nits maximum brightness and Wide Color Gamut. Audio should also be impressive for a phone, since the stereo speakers carry Dolby Atmos certification.
Simply dubbed the Palm, the device features a 3.3-inch 445 PPI LCD display and has aluminium construction reminiscent of the latest iPhone generation. It runs on full Android 8.1, if with a redesigned UI allowing more comfortable use on the smaller display, and even includes a 12MP rear-/8MP front-facing cameras. The body is IP68-rated for water and dust resistance, and inside are an octa-core Snapdragon 435 processor, 3GB RAM and an 800mAh battery promising up to 8 hours of use on a single charge.
The Instinct complies to the US military standard 810G for thermal, shock and water resistance (up to 100m). A fibre-reinforced polymer shell houses the watch, the band is in silicone and the display is both chemically strengthened and scratch-resistant. Even the battery is tough, since it lasts up to 14 days in smartwatch mode, 16 hours in GPS mode and up to 40 hours in UltraTrack battery saver mode.
TV display purchases drive the 4K UHD segment, and although a content gap still exists, it is quickly being filled up. The amount of 4K UHD content has grown "significantly" during H1 2018, as is the number of broadcasts in the format. For instance, the February Winter Olympics were broadcast in 4K UHD thanks to the Olympic Broadcasting Services and Japanese broadcaster NHK. All FIFA World Cup matches were also shot in 4K UHD, before delivery via satellite, cable, IP and OTT.
