Meta Glasses Nova (Gen 3) Review: Not Much New

Meta Glasses Nova (Gen 3) Review: Not Much New

Published by skeptic

The camera housing on my Meta Nova glasses is smaller than on the Gen 2 glasses. From a distance, they might even read as rivets at a glance. (I asked my colleague Reece Rogers how they looked on my face, and from a few feet away in the WIRED office, he didn’t even notice they were camera-enabled glasses at first.) They feel and function the same as before. You can interact with an AI assistant or snap photos and video with the press of a button. Conversation Focus, a mode that helps hard-of-hearing people better pick up spoken words, is a feature that only works in early access on Meta’s Ray-Ban and Oakley smart glasses. It seems very helpful, but my Meta-designed frames don’t have it yet. They also don’t have integration with Meta’s Muse AI, which the company says is coming later this year. I’m intrigued by that, even if having access to a camera on your face will certainly help a service that seems better at surveilling than helping its users. That said, …

Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro Omni Review: For Multisystem Gamers

Steelseries Arctis Nova Pro Omni Review: For Multisystem Gamers

Published by skeptic

The headphones work just as well for music and movies, which is where I heard the biggest upgrade from the older Pro model. There’s a nice richness, particularly with the EQ presets for music applied, that you don’t get on most wireless gaming headsets. Like the fancier Elite, the Omni support hi-res audio wirelessly, another upgrade from the older Pro model. I still have doubts about whether it’s actually useful for gaming, but I usually listen to music while I play games, so the benefits are there regardless. Switching back and forth between the Omni and the much pricier Elite, I can definitely hear the difference, but it’s subtle. The Omni don’t have the same spacious soundstage or delicate details as the Elite. This stands out more listening to music than it does gaming. But when I have two or three sources running at once, I don’t feel like I’m missing anything using the Omni over the more expensive Elite.

King Charles launches Project Nova to track space debris from Bermuda

King Charles launches Project Nova to track space debris from Bermuda

Published by skeptic

King Charles III has formally launched a major UK-led effort to monitor space debris, unveiling the £40m Project Nova during the final leg of his visit to Bermuda. The initiative, spearheaded by the UK Space Agency, will establish a global network of telescopes designed to detect and track hazardous objects orbiting Earth. The first phase of Project Nova will see three high-powered telescopes installed on Bermuda’s northwest coast, a strategically selected location in the Atlantic. These instruments are engineered to identify even small fragments of space debris in low Earth orbit – objects capable of damaging satellites and disrupting critical infrastructure. The expected outcome is a significant improvement in the UK’s ability to monitor orbital risks, reduce collision threats, and strengthen international collaboration on space safety. The Bermuda installation will act as a testbed for a broader five-site global network, positioning the UK as a key player in tackling the growing problem of space debris. Why is space debris so dangerous? Space debris refers to defunct human-made objects orbiting Earth, including abandoned satellites, fragments from …

Too Close to Home by Seraphina Nova Glass

Published by Jenni Sidey

Seraphina Nova Glass returns with a three-POV thriller set in a lakefront community where a Labor Day car bomb cracks open every polite secret in the neighborhood. Sharp dialogue, a strong front half, and rich motherhood stakes carry the book. The back third gets crowded, but the voice work and book-club bait are real.

First Look at Bill Nighy in ‘A Town in Nova Scotia’

First Look at Bill Nighy in ‘A Town in Nova Scotia’

Published by Daniella Wilson

A first look at Babak Jalali‘s Billy Nighy-starring feature, A Town in Nova Scotia, has dropped ahead of Paradise City Sales launching worldwide sales at Cannes. His fifth film after presenting previous works in Locarno (Frontier Blues), Rotterdam (Radio Treams) and the Berlinale (Land), the Iranian director gained international recognition with Sundance’s Fremont. A Town in Nova Scotia is about a widowed Irish senior, Leon, played by the Love Actually star, who gets a plea from his daughter to join her in Nova Scotia. Instead, he launches a crusade to make his aging Liverpool building safer after news of a tower fire in London. On a mission alongside his neighbor and closest friend, Salah (Makram J Khoury), Leon turns their fellow residents’ quiet lives upside down in what is described as “a warm story of friendsip, stubbornness, and small acts of defiance.” The photo released Wednesday shows Nighy and Khoury riding a lakeside carousel. The film was co-written with Carolina Cavalli, who collaborated with Jalali on Fremont. Further creatives include production designer Paulina Rzeszowska, cinematographer …

Capacity building for biomanufacturing scale-up in Nova Scotia

Capacity building for biomanufacturing scale-up in Nova Scotia

Published by skeptic

The Verschuren Centre is filling the critical scale-up gap for vital biobased manufacturing companies to solve global challenges. Biomanufacturing, a broad term encompassing a range of green technologies including precision fermentation, presents a pivotal technology to address key global challenges of human and environmental health. Numerous reports estimate the future impact of biotechnology as replacing 60% of the world’s physical inputs and alleviating 45% of the world’s disease burden in the next 20 years. This represents a market value in the trillions of dollars for companies targeting sustainable solutions for the future. Biomanufacturing takes advantage of rapid advances in genetic engineering to create virtually any intermediary product that is otherwise typically derived from petrochemicals, and, as such, has huge potential to impact the country’s path to a net zero manufacturing future. Often referred to as the internet of the future, the potential product array seems infinite and will impact almost every aspect of our daily lives. The bridge to success To accelerate deployment of this green supply chain of intermediaries and functional materials, key capital-intensive …
