VLC media player now supports 360-degree videos

Seriously, is there anything this app cant play?

VLC, the app that lets you play basically any video format on practically any platform, is about to add support for a whole new medium. The company just unveiled a technical preview that enables its desktop app to play 360-degree videos, so folks can watch their dizzying footage on their computers. The preview is now available for Windows and Mac machines, and the full version will arrive with VLC 3.0 , which is expected at the end of the month.

VLCs creators VideoLan teamed up with 360-degree camera maker Giroptic to develop its system, which can display photos, panoramas and videos. You can use your mouse and keyboard to control your point of view in the footage. VideoLan says it will make these features available on its mobile apps as well, and let users navigate the clips by moving their accelerometer-carrying devices around. It also said it will support VR headsets such as the Oculus Rift, Googles Daydream and the HTC Vive in 2017. The app is also getting 360-degree audio support "including head tracking headphones," says the company, although its not clear when that will happen.

Since its still just a technical preview, those who are itching to try VLC 360 out should temper their expectations as it might be buggy. Even so, its clear that VLC is making a big push into enabling VR experiences across all its supported platforms, which should be good news for its large base of tech-savvy fans.

On Tuesday, Apple released the new beta 4 version of iOS 10 for developers, and while it has not been around for long, changes from the previous beta 3 have already been noticed. These changes may not be huge, but it is worth having a look at what Apple has decided to tweak.


iOS 10 beta 3 vs beta 4: Haptic Feedback for manual lock removed

Originally introduced with iOS 10 beta 3, Haptic Feedback was used when a device was manually locked using the sleep/power button. Apple for some unknown reason has decided to remove this feature in beta 4 for developers. It is, however, possible that it could be reinstated at some later stage of the operating system’s development, as it was a nice change to how people could lock their iPhones.

New keyboard sound

Apple seems to like keyboard sounds, as with beta 4, we have a somewhat new one to add to the collection. However, this particular one was first released with the original beta and then removed in beta 2, only to be reinstated in the third and now altered very slightly in the fourth.

Quicker folder animations

Did this really need a tweak? Surely folder animations in beta 3 were fast! Apparently though, they were not fast enough for Apple, as in beta 4 they have been sped up, and noticeably too.

New emojis

Apple has also added 100 new emojis into beta 4, which include more for gender equality and diversity. The company has always liked to use emojis and has never been shy about how it uses them.



In fact, Apple previously stated that it would include new emojis in iOS 10 and that these would natively support its messaging applications and keyboard. So as you can tell, this is not a beta 4 versus beta 3 thing; it’s merely a pit stop on the road to Apple getting to where it wants to be with iOS 10.

UI tweaks

In beta 3, if you had gone into Settings –> Color Filters, you would have seen a color grid, but this has now been replaced with a selection of different colored pencils. You may have noticed that the icons for the control center have changed too! These are minor tweaks, and personally, I believe Apple should be focusing on ironing out bugs in iOS 10 and not wasting time on this.

Notification center

In the previous betas of iOS 10, including the third, the widget screen did not include the date. Now Apple has changed this to display it and make it accessible by swiping to the right.

Wallpapers

The fact that some out-of-date wallpapers made their way into iOS 10 beta 3 did surprise me. Apple has realized the need to remove them and has done so but also reintroduced an earlier mountain wallpaper with stars from a previous version of iOS.

And that is everything that has changed or been tweaked from beta 3 in iOS 10 beta 4. What changes would you like to see? Is there one particular feature of iOS 10 that you do not like? Share your thoughts with us in the comments section below.

, but its generally true.

iOS 10: Every New Feature Coming to Your iPhone

THE PIXELS HAVE settled after another WWDC keynote, meaning we now know exactly what’s coming to iOS 10. Siri’s the big star, but there are plenty of other features to look forward to. Here’s all the tricks your iPhone will learn this this fall.

iOS 10: Every New Feature

Siri Everywhere >>>>

As expected, Apple has created a Siri SDK, which means that developers will now be able to incorporate it into their apps at will. That specific news isn’t nearly as important as what it will enable.

While some third-party apps, like Yelp and OpenTable, already play nice with Siri, it’s a very short list. This makes Siri less useful than it could be—just compare it to Amazon Alexa’s thousand-plus integrations—but more importantly, it makes the iPhone less useful than it should be. But finally, after five years of a mostly solitary existence, Siri’s going to make some friends.

A few of those were on stage at WWDC today. WeChat, Slack, and WhatsApp all made an appearance, meaning you’ll now be able to talk to those apps and have them follow your command. What’s available now though, isn’t nearly as important as what’s going to be by the time iOS 10 is available this fall and beyond.


iMessage, the Platform >>>>

While the rumored iMessage for Android didn’t materialize, Apple’s chat app did pick up a suite of sweet new features. There’s a lot going on here, most of which catches the app up to its messaging rivals.

iMessage will have rich links inline, meaning you can play videos from YouTube or songs from Music without bailing out to another app. Its emoji are three times bigger than before, and it will prompt you to emojify any words (pizza, taco, love… eggplant?) as you type.

You can add effects to the text in your bubbles, making it larger if you want to shout and smaller if you’re feeling meek. You can write messages in “invisible ink,” that the recipient can only read after swiping, or you can blur them until they tap. This would be good for lots of uses and NOT just sex stuff.

And then, again, those third-party integrations show up. iMessage now has an app drawer, meaning you can send money with Square, order food with DoorDash, and so on. Turning iMessage into a platform is a move Apple needed to make, especially with Facebook Messenger having already done most of this a year ago.


Apple Music Makeover >>>>

What Apple Music lacks in usability it makes up for in exclusives. In iOS 10, though, Apple’s late-arriving Spotify competitor is going to fix much of what ails it. The key word is simplicity: Everything’s much more clean and navigable, including a new tab for “downloaded music” (thank goodness) and a For You section that provides a new playlist of music Apple thinks you’ll like every single day. Think Spotify Discover, but more frequently updated.

Apple Connect, which was a thing that you forgot existed, has been a little bit tucked away, because again, you forgot it existed.


More Responsive Notifications >>>>

You know that thing where Touch ID works so quickly that you blow right past your lock screen? Apple added a feature that shows you what’s on your display when you pick it up. From there, you can get more info or respond to them from the lock screen using 3D Touch. Apps with information that evolves in real-time (think Uber letting you know where a car is, or ESPN showing you a score) can have notifications update live. It also looks cleaner than before, which is going to be a theme here.

Other than the 3D Touch feature/gimmick, smartphones like the Moto X have been doing this for years. Which is why I can confidently tell you that you’ll love it.


Photos, Managed >>>>

To get a sense of what Apple’s updated Photos app can do, just open Google Photos. Face recognition, object recognition, clustering and sorting by person, date, and place. All of this mirrors what Google Photos has done since last year, with the crucial difference that Apple’s machine learning smarts all take place locally, on your device.

That’s great if Google gives you privacy concerns, but it’ll be interesting to see if Apple’s version local can match the chops of what Google’s cloud. Another notable difference: Google stores your photos in the cloud for free, while you’ll have to pay up for iCloud when you run out of room.


Prettier, More Open Maps >>>>

Maps got a design tweak (hello, pan and zoom mid-navigation) but more importantly it’s now open to third party developers. In the keynote example, you can use OpenTable to make a restaurant reservation, call it up on Maps, and summon an Uber to take you there.

Another small update that you’ll appreciate: Gas station listings. Sure!


Siri Helps You Type >>>>

Siri’s going to give Apple’s QuickType keyboard a boost, bringing contextual awareness (your location, your calendar, and more) into play to provide suggested replies. If someone asks where you are, for instance, Siri can tell them for you.


Apple News Rethink >>>>

I really enjoy Apple News, but am also aware that in its current iteration it’s just a chopped salad of stories, jumbled up in no real relation to one another. That changes in iOS 10. Now, News sorts the news into sections that make sense, and also includes support for subscriptions. Which, after Newsstand effectively shut down, is a major improvement for readers and publications alike.

Also: Breaking news notifications, because NYT doesn’t already send you enough of those.


HomeKit: Still HomeKitting >>>>

HomeKit still exists! Although there’s not a ton new to say about it, aside from there’s an actual app now, called Home, from which you can control all of your smart home devices that have compatible apps. Home automation nerds, this one’s for you, although I fear you are a small subset. Then again, I’m the guy who uses Apple News, so no judgment here!


Phone Fun >>>>

There are a lot of cool features coming to the Phone app (remember, you can still make phone calls with your iPhone), but the only one I’m really looking forward to is voicemail transcription. If it’s even half as bad as Google’s, it should provide endless entertainment.

Otherwise! There’s a new VoIP API that lets incoming calls from WhatsApp, FaceTime, or wherever look more like normal phone call. It’ll also automatically check calls for which seem like spam, and let you know.


Hide the Junk >>>>

This didn’t make the stage at Monday’s WWDC keynote, but good news for everyone with an “Apple Junk” folder wasting space on their home screen: In iOS 10, you can delete Tips, Calculator, Music, and more than a dozen other preloaded Apple apps.

iOS 10: Every New Feature for your iPhone

Smartphones with the best display quality

A smartphone with really good processing prowess and features is incomplete without a quality display to go with it, to reproduce the finer details of all possible content that you may see on it. Be it for reading e-books or webpages, working on documents, viewing photos and videos or even for editing media, there are a lot of diverse usage that smartphones are able to handle these days. And the screen is essentially the window to the phone’s soul. If you are in the market to buy a phone, and don’t want to compromise on the screen quality, here is what you can pick.

1) Lenovo Vibe S1 >>>>

Price: Rs 12,999


This is one of the few smartphones in the budget segment which comes with a 1920x1080p (Full HD) resolution on a 5-inch LCD screen. It is perfect for users who still feel more at home with small screen phones. Customizations such as the option to adjust colour of the screen and the Gorilla Glass 3 take care of colour issues and scratch resistance. The phone runs on a MediaTek MT 6752 octa-core processor with 3GB RAM and can handle most basic tasks well. The compact size, curved back design and light form factor (131g) are just some of the key highlights of this phone.

Description
