CES 2016

Netflix launches its service in India, starts from Rs. 500

January 7, 2016 by T3 Gaming

Netflix’s streaming service was limited to a handful of countries. However, things are looking up if Reed Hastings’ opening keynote at the CES 2016 is anything to go by. The company flipped the switch to enable it for 130 countries at the same time. The service is now live in over 190 countries, with the exception being Syria and China.

As far as India is concerned, Netflix is offering three plans that starts from Rs 500. The basic plan will allow SD videos and one screen whereas the Standard (Rs 650) option adds HD and 2 screens. The Premium (Rs 800) one can stream content in 4K resolution and allows four different screens to be streamed simultaneously.

The content currently includes a mix of English and Hindi content. What a way to start the new year!

Nvidia teams up with Volvo to test its new self-drive ‘supercomputer’

January 5, 2016 by Dan Grabham

At its CES 2016 press conference, Nvidia talked up the potential of its new AI ‘supercomputer’ for self-driving cars – the Nvidia Drive PX 2.

Volvo will launch a public test next year with 100 autonomous cars that will hit the road at Volvo’s homeground, Gothenburg, Sweden.

Nvidia chief Jen-Hsun Huang believes that self-driving vehicles will make a big contribution to society, simply because humans are the most unreliable element in driving today. But the problem, it turns out, is that driving is rather difficult. That’s the key issue for machine learning to solve.

The main thing is that a series of events on any street is not easily predictable. Hazards such as pedestrians and bad driving from other drivers just can’t be legislated for. And there are huge numbers of different objects to be learnt; not every bus will look the same, for example.

That’s where Deep Learning comes in – training on neural networks. This does take time, but GPU acceleration is helping to speed this up.

Over the course of just a few hours, Audi trained a network that can recognise German road signs at a level that beats every hand-coded computer-vision approach. It achieves better perception of road signs than a human could.

Daimler has achieved perfect pixel recognition. Also using the technology is ZMP, a Japanese company creating a self-driving taxi; and BMW, Toyota partner Preferred Networks and Ford.

Nvidia also demonstrated that the technology can now identify different classes of item on the road, such as pedestrians or motorcyclists as well as what the in-car display could look like.

As you’d expect, the Drive PX 2 itself is no slouch, with 8 teraflops of compute power, which Nvidia says is equivalent to 150 MacBook Pros (spec unspecified, of course). There are 12 CPU cores and a Pascal graphics processor – it’s all water-cooled for maximum efficiency (and you can plumb it into existing water-cooled self-drive motors for testing).

Withings Thermo is a Wi-Fi connected thermometer

January 5, 2016 by T3 Gaming

With most devices getting connected these days, Withings too has got with it. It has come up with a new thermometer that can record readings and transmit them to the app really fast. Behold Withings Thermo, a Wi-Fi-connected thermometer that records the temperature from the temporal artery. Equipped with 16 sensors, Thermo measures the temperature from the side of the head and brings up the reading so fast it can give you whiplash – about 2 seconds.

The free app compatible with both iOS and Android also enables users to transfer the reading quickly onto their smartphones via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth and can be shared with a doctor for further analysis. The app also features a log for multiple users to track the older and current temperatures.

Withings is currently showcasing the Thermo at CES 2016 and plans to sell Thermo in the United States from Q1 2016 for $99.95.
