Facebook researchers Brian Dolhansky and Cristian Canton Ferrer released a paper Monday that detailed the process. Dolhansky and Ferrer taught their AI to match features like iris color, skin tone, eye contours and lighting. They then gave photos to participants in their study and asked them to pick which eyes were the originals. The left photos are templates; the middle photos were the bad selfies; the right photos show the GAN AI at work. AI touch-upsFacebook isn’t the only tech company intere

The Corsair Obsidian 1000D is, hands down, one of the biggest and baddest PC cases to come out in recent years. The only thing more impressive than everything the Corsair Obsidian 1000D can hold is its extensive, two-year product development cycle. “Basically, it’s what you can do if you try to make a custom case, but without having to make a custom case,” Neal says. “A lot of the airflow concerns that people see is because they don’t see a clear path [for the fans],” Neal says. “I would say, es

Amazon created Alexa to be your personal assistant, but now it will serve some vacation-goers as their personal hotel concierge. In hotels featuring the new Alexa for Hospitality service, guests will find an Amazon Echo , Dot or Plus in their rooms, connected to devices like the lights, blinds, climate control, TV and stereo via voice commands. Beyond your standard smart home (or smart room) commands, the Echoes will feature travel-related Alexa Skills . Once guests check out, Amazon says the sp

Uber is testing a system that would lower ride rates… if you’re willing to wait cool your heels on getting to your destination. An Uber employee in the San Francisco Bay Area tweeted a screenshot of a message he got in the Uber app after requesting a ride at 4:56pm PT. If you’re OK leaving later, we’ll request your ride at 17:00 for a lower price.” The difference in the pricing was $10.18 for the ride right away, or $8.15 for the ride four minutes later, at 17:00 (5pm). In a statement to the s

In what couldn’t be a stronger sign of the times, the once unstoppable video games retailer GameStop is officially looking to sell. “GameStop Corp. today confirmed it is in exploratory discussions with third parties regarding a potential transaction,” the press release reads. However, both Reuters’s sources and GameStop officially said that this is no guarantee that these talks will result in a sale. The rise of digital game sales straight from the source has clearly grown insurmountable for Gam

The Oppo Find X has been officially unveiled, with an impressive 93.8% screen-to-body ratio and a rather bonkers triple pop-up camera setup. It directly challenges the Vivo Nex, itself only launched last week in China, which had boasted the best screen-to-body ratio of any smartphone at 91.24% and a single pop-up camera. Fire up the camera app, and the camera block rises out from the top of the phone to reveal its snappers. Back to the screen, and you’re looking at a 6.4-inch OLED display with a

Reading about a TechRadar colleague hitting 30mph on an e-bike didn’t help, either. Chris Nolte, owner of Brooklyn e-bike ship Propel, had also tagged along on a foldable Tern GSD cargo e-bike. If you can afford an e-bike, there really isn’t much of a downside to owning one. Once I stopped falling every 10 feet, I had a blast riding on an e-bike, and felt like I got a pretty good workout without getting too sweaty to return to work. According to Weinert, Bosch projects that the US e-bike market

“We’re talking almost $10 million for a cinema release, but if you choose to use streaming to address your audience then it’s much cheaper. A theatrical release needs a huge marketing budget, but filmmakers who release their work to streaming sites can afford to spend more on production – provided the sites give them a chance. “It’s not a competition, but streaming sites probably needs to be able to take more risk in producing content,” he says. Ultimately, the panel believe that the future of m

Steam has a new tool to let you know just how much you’ve spent on video games in its virtual store – though you may regret seeing the result. VentureBeat first spotted the new official Steam ‘Account Spend’ tool that adds up every single purchase you’ve ever made on Steam. However, this official webpage is the first we’ve seen that calculates exactly what you’ve spent down to the last cent. That said the official Steam calculator doesn’t factor in the value of game codes that you’ve redeemed fr

As Xbox and Nintendo tweet one another to organize games of Fortnite, PlayStation remains on the sidelines as the platform that refuses to enable its users to play with anyone else. According to Joe Smedley, the former head of Sony Entertainment Online, the main reason for this is nothing more complicated than money. dumb reason, but there it is.June 18, 2018After settling for a while, the cross-play Fortnite issue was raised once more when the game launched on Nintendo Switch during E3.

VR, or virtual reality, has all but become a buzzword in the homes of millions since the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive PC headsets landed in 2016. Now, thanks to companies like DisplayLink, headset makers like HTC are catching up to the graphically-inferior (but mass appeal), wireless products with full-power wireless VR. The HTC Vive Pro elevates this concept with even sharper screens and digital surround sound audio in addition to wireless signal transmission from a PC through DisplayLink. So, how

Remember Intel’s recent competition giving punters the chance to win one of its Core i7-8086K limited-edition processors celebrating the 40th anniversary of the first 8086 chip? The other consideration is that Intel’s chip is a limited-edition affair celebrating the big 8086 anniversary, so it could be worth something in that respect in the future. As we mentioned at the outset, this offer is only available to Intel’s competition winners in the US. AMD explains: “Notified winners of [Intel’s] Co

You can’t buy the Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium yet, but already we’re seeing evidence that a third color might be launched for the phone, with Chrome Gold possibly being offered alongside the confirmed Chrome Black and Chrome Silver shades. That theory is based on a photo, obtained by Dealntech, which appears to show the Sony Xperia XZ2 Premium in a gold color, so as evidence goes it’s fairly compelling. That said, it could of course be a fake, and even if it is real there’s a high chance that the Ch

The Oppo Find X launch is today, taking place at the iconic Louvre Museum in Paris, and the handset promises to offer up a no-notch, all-screen experience.

Over the past few days we’ve heard rumors of the Samsung Gear S4 smartwatch and Galaxy Tab S4 tablet launching alongside the Galaxy Note 9, but a new rumor suggests they’ll actually land a little later than Samsung’s next phablet. According to SamsungMobile.News on Twitter, both of the two new products will launch after the Galaxy Note 9 and will probably appear at IFA 2018.
