Hans Zimmer joins hands with BMW for its futuristic concept car
Reading Time: 2 minutes read

When it comes to designing futuristics car, BMW is always at its best and when it comes to futuristics sounding, Hans Zimmer is the best in the world. What happens when both best brand and person join hands together? The outcome is extraordinary. Earlier this week BMW unveils its plan to launch 25 electric vehicles by 2023. According to TechCrunch, BMW launches a website for the BMW Vision M NEXT sports car which includes Hans Zimmer composing a science fiction-like sound of the engine for the electric vehicle (EV).

In the day of self-driving cars, the BMW Vision M NEXT design study represents BMW’s concept of a sports car. The design of this dream car is both a glimpse into the future and a reference to BMW’s iconic past.

Do you know that EV does not produce any sound for the engine? The good thing is your ride will be a really smooth ride. However, thinking of the outside world, it could be dangerous. For example, sometimes pedestrians might not know the presence of the EV because there isn’t any noise from the engine. Other car manufacturers such as Jaguar and Harley Davidson has designed a futuristic sounding for the engine noise. Now it’s time for BMW to give a futuristic sounding for the BMW Vision M NEXT concept car.

Since it is a futuristic concept car, Hans Zimmer is the best person to work on it. This is because Hans Zimmer has composed music for a few science fiction movies such as Interstellar and Inception. Apart from Hans Zimmer, BMW sound designer Renzo Vitale produces a sound for the car too.

You can click on the play button below to listen to this futuristic sounding from Hans Zimmer. The sound feels like a spaceship sound.

Apart from the sounding, BMW has also added a few of the pictures and room posters which is available to download for free. Other than that, you can also find 3D models which you can use a 3D printer to print the concept car. All these are available on the BMW website.

In conclusion, we are not sure how soon we can see the complete car on the road. Despite that, you shouldn’t be shocked if in the next Mission Impossible movie Tom Cruise rides the BMW Vision M NEXT concept car because it is really possible to happen.

BREAKING: Huawei is back in the business with the US
Reading Time: < 1 minute read

It has been one month since the United States government adds Huawei Technologies into its Entity List. Today the US President Donald Trump announces that the United States government will allow the Chinese tech giant to continue doing business with the US companies. This announcement took place during his talk with China’s President Xi Jinping at the Group of 20 Summit in Osaka, Japan today.

During the conference, the United States President, says US companies can sell their equipment to Huawei. According to him, the equipment which the US tech companies sell does not have any national security problem.

Back in May, the United States government bans Huawei from continuing business with the US tech companies. This causes company such as Google, Intel, and Qualcomm to stop their business with Huawei. After that, Huawei had a breathing space after the United States provides a 90 days temporary license where Huawei can continue its business with companies such as Google for 90 days.

Despite that, the United States government has not removed Huawei name from the Entity List yet. As for now, we might need to wait until next week for further updates from both the United States and China discussion.

Oppo announces under screen selfie camera technology
Reading Time: 2 minutes read

MWC Shanghai 2019 is happening now in Shanghai until tomorrow. Many smartphone makers are showing off their latest technology. One of the famous mobile phone makers, Vivo has announced its first 5G smartphone iQOO at the event yesterday. Vivo also demos the Super FlashCharge technology to the audience. The latest announcement is Oppo shows-off the world’s first under screen selfie camera technology to the public.

Integrating things into a display has been first done by Vivo where it integrates the world’s first in-display fingerprint sensor into the Vivo X20 Plus UD. After that, most of the smartphones makers have started to integrate the in-display fingerprint sensor into their smartphones. Now, after Oppo launches the under screen selfie camera technology, soon we can expect more smartphones to have this same technology.

A few years ago itself Oppo did few anti-bezel experimentations such as the display notches and the pop-up selfie camera. First time when Oppo launches the Oppo F9, it integrates the display notches into the smartphone. Then the next smartphone it launches is Oppo Find X where it ditches notch and then invents the pop-up selfie camera.

How does the under-screen camera technology work?

Part of the announcement, Oppo talks more about the technology behind the under-screen selfie camera. According to Oppo, its new display uses a transparent material which allows light to enter through the camera. Since the camera sensor is underneath the screen, Oppo adds a larger camera sensor with a wider aperture lens in the front. This means users wouldn’t have to worry about touch control because the touch control works fine in the same area the selfie camera is located.

According to Engadget Chinese, the camera area is slightly visible in certain conditions. However, there is an issue with the image quality whereby laying off the screen in front of the camera will cause the photo image quality to reduce. Problems such as haze, glare and color cast rise due to the under-screen camera. Despite that, Oppo develops its own algorithm to overcome this issue.

In conclusion, Oppo says this technology will integrate into its devices in the coming future. We could expect to see Oppo’s next phone launch to have this technology added to it.
