Their VR system was able to trick people who were eating a plain Read more [...]

For once, the pundits were right: Today, of course, elements of the old PDA, MP3 player, digital camera, portable e-mail, Web browser, and camcorder now live on our smartphones. Next in line, says a French company, are eyeglasses. When they get smart, we’ll Read more [...]
