Ever wonder what’s going on in your pet’s head? Well, scientists are getting closer to figuring that out—thanks to AI. Recent research shows that AI is now being trained on Facial Action Coding System (FACS)-based datasets to automatically detect and interpret animal facial movements. This means AI can now read emotions and pain in your dog’s face. But what does this mean for us and our pets?

Holography is no longer confined to sci-fi movies. Real-life applications are already creeping into our daily lives. Medical holograms are used in surgeries, augmented reality (AR) headsets like the Microsoft HoloLens bring interactive holograms into the workplace, and entertainment is slowly catching up with 3D projections at concerts and exhibits. But we’re still far from seeing a Star Wars-style communication system where you can chat face-to-face with a friend through a floating 3D image.

The Samsung Galaxy S24 is rumored to receive some exciting new features with the One UI 7 update, and it’s looking like this update will be a big win for users. After some disappointing news about older Galaxy phones missing certain AI features due to hardware limits, there’s good news ahead.

Researchers and universities, including Harvard University’s Motion Analysis Lab, Stanford University, and DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency), are making significant strides in sensory prosthetics, aiming to create more natural, lifelike prosthetic limbs that can detect pressure, texture, and temperature, sending that information to the brain to mimic natural touch. These advancements are made possible through the development of neuroprosthetics and advanced sensors.

Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro is shaping up to be one of the most significant redesigns in years. Following a disappointing feedback to last year's lineup, Apple appears to be taking dramatic steps to revamp its flagship smartphone's design. While early renders and leaks suggested significant improvements, new reports provide a clearer picture of what to expect when the iPhone 17 Pro launches later this year.

Pet microchips are compact devices that play a crucial role in pet safety. About the size of a grain of rice, they contain unique identification information that can help owners find their lost pets. When scanned by a compatible reader, they transmit a unique identification number that links to a pet’s record in a database containing vital owner information. This relatively simple technology has revolutionized pet safety, helping reunite millions of lost pets with their families each year.

In a world where every decision, every transaction, and even human emotions are influenced by algorithms, we find ourselves staring into a mirror that reflects not just technology, but our very essence...
