In 2022, PhD student Austin Carter, who worked with the Center for Old Ice Exploration (COLDEX), dropped a camera in a 305-foot hole beneath Antarctica at the Allan Hills Blue Ice Area.

He then posted the results on TikTok.

Do you want to make your VRChat character more true to life? You can use motion capture gear to ensure the most realistic movement. There is plenty of equipment to choose from, and 3D character designer Yueou demonstrated one that might interest you: UDCAP, “silk-like” gloves for SteamVR that track your hand gestures pretty accurately.

While there is a little delay, such gloves could be a great addition to your setup. The creator, Udexreal, promises 15 hours of battery work, so you don’t have to worry about your virtual social life ending early. There are 12 sensors that cover all 15 finger joints, providing a total of 21 joint angles.

“Our sensors are foldable and highly flexible, blending seamlessly with fabric without causing any discomfort. They capture even the slightest stress, stretch, and bend, with a resolution of 0.01 degrees,” the creators say.

LG plans to launch its brightest-ever OLED screen later this year. A new internal structure enables the fourth-gen panel to achieve a maximum brightness of 4,000 nits – about 30 percent higher than the previous generation.

Insects exhibit impressive agility and responsiveness even when faced with low-light conditions. The secret lies in their compound eyes, which are capable of detecting motion with incredible speed and sensitivity.

Now, researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) have developed a camera that mimics this feat to achieve ultra-high-speed imaging.

Interestingly, this bio-inspired camera surpasses the limitations of traditional high-speed cameras.
