Thrasher is an aesthetically abstract puzzle game with a great soundtrack, but some technical issues hold it back. Read the full review. The first time I failed a Thrasher level, I wanted to quit the game and sell my headset. It may have been an overreaction, but it felt completely natural at the time. But strangely enough, it wasn’t the difficulty or the thought of having to repeat the challenge marathon that infuriated me, it was my competitive nature at work. Slasher – FactsOverview: A psychedelic rhythm puzzle game where you swipe targets and avoid obstacles across a variety of…

I’m in the back seat of a red Peugeot 205, hurtling along the motorway outside Coventry in the middle of the night, searching for an illegal rave taking place in a nearby warehouse. Someone is spinning a joint and the heady bouncing of Orbital’s acid house track “Chime” fills my ears. I float through the roof from the back seat, looking down on my friends as they hurtle through the darkness towards an unknown party. Our nocturnal adventure has…

While the high-level pitch for virtual reality is often that it transports the player to another world, I’ve never found that to be the best VR game. In my experience, the experiences I like most are extremely puzzling, colorful, and strange; more like hallucinatory episodes than portals to another world. That’s why Beat Saber remains one of the most popular VR games out there, and why Rez Infinite is one of my favorite VR games of all time. The latest from Thumper composer and artist Brian Gibson, Thrasher is the latest in its kind of VR game and is one…

NAIROBI (Reuters) – East African countries are increasing investments in satellite technology for communications, defence, security, research, disaster management and weather forecasting, while the region is also growing as a launch and testing ground for the industry. A futuristic solar-powered plane designed to fly above restricted airspace and at altitudes between 60,000 and 80,000 feet above Earth is set to take off in Kenya, joining a growing number of high-altitude and space projects in East Africa. Aalto, a startup that was spun out of passenger jet giant Airbus in 2023, is building the solar-powered Zephyr HAPS aircraft and has signalled…

Key Point: Incorporating virtual reality (VR) into the classroom may be easier than you think. With growing demand and innovation in the field of VR technology, now may be the perfect time to incorporate virtual reality into your everyday teaching. What was once experimental and cutting-edge technology has now gone mainstream. Before we dive into why and how integrating virtual reality can lead to success in the classroom, let’s first define what virtual reality is and how it’s similar (and different) from other recent technologies.

Retail products travel from suppliers to distributors to store shelves. Along the way, counterfeit products slip in. These counterfeits can be found throughout the retail supply chain, in big box stores, online marketplaces, and flea markets. Every time this happens, and it happens often, companies have to pay the costs of shipping and disposing of the counterfeit goods, and they lose potential sales. Counterfeit goods are a big problem for retailers, and these days, factors like online shopping have only made the situation worse. Retailers need the ability to track shipments, detect counterfeits, and verify product authenticity in real time.…

gridX’s smart energy management solution combines the Xenon cloud platform with the gridBox IoT gateway. The gridBox redesign was also aimed at significantly accelerating the in-house production of the gateway: the new plastic housing for the gridBox will now be produced by a plastics manufacturer in North Rhine-Westphalia. By updating the housing and switching to a local supplier, gridX has shortened its supply chain and increased the efficiency of gridBox production. The increased production performance is mainly due to a reduction in the number of small individual parts. With the new housing, the gateway can be assembled much faster thanks…
