New Year deal: Stay alert on the road with Ridy

The holiday season can involve long or late-night driving, which is always a risk. Even the safest of drivers sometimes feel sleepy at the wheel. It only takes a moment of nodding off to risk your life and others.

Well, a high-tech solution was successfully funded on Indiegogo. Ridy is a distracted driving alert device that uses AI and machine learning to check that you’re concentrating on driving. Using face-tracking technology, it can tell if you might be dozing or reading your phone.

If Ridy spots any danger it sounds an alert to snap you out of it. It’s clever stuff, and it’s perfect for late-night drivers, those who drive for a living, and so on. In fact, it’s worth having in just about any vehicle.

Ridy

Ridy works day or night, whether you have glasses on or not, and it doesn’t need an internet connection. It’s not logging your whereabouts for some government database either, before you ask. It’s just checking that your eyes are on the road.

Ridy at a glance:

  • Detects and alerts when a driver loses concentration or gets dangerously distracted using machine vision analytics
  • Installs on any car in just 60 seconds
  • Works if you wear regular glasses and at night
  • Doesn’t require an internet connection and operates 24/7

Ridy has a retail value of $129, but we can do a lot better than that for you. Tech Deals is promoting Ridy as part of a big sale, and we also have a promo code to save you a bit more.

Just add Ridy to your cart and then use the promo code NEWYEAR2019. You’ll pay just over $80.

Qualcomm shows what’s possible for mobile VR with the Snapdragon 845

  • Qualcomm unveiled its Snapdragon 845 Mobile VR platform, which looks to be more power-efficient and powerful than its predecessor.
  • The platform introduces features like foveated rendering and Roomscale.
  • There is no timetable for when companies will release mobile VR products based on Qualcomm’s platform.

Qualcomm unveiled its VR headset reference design based on the company’s Snapdragon Mobile VR platform. The platform uses the Snapdragon 845 chipset and introduces promising features for mobile VR.

One such promising feature is foveated rendering, which tracks your eye movement and lowers the resolution of your peripheral vision areas. The headset sports four cameras, with two facing inwards for eye tracking.

The end result is a headset that knows where you look and allocates most of its graphics resources to that area to deliver a sharp image.

Next up is Roomscale, which tracks and processes the location of the headset and your body without the need for separate cables and room sensors. The feature uses inside-out six degrees of freedom (DoF) tracking, along with simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) for body and room tracking.

VR headsets like the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive use room sensors that allow for room-scale experiences, so it is impressive to see similar technology incorporated into the headset itself.

Editor’s Pick

Elsewhere, the Snapdragon 845-based Mobile VR platform boasts 30 percent greater power efficiency and 30 percent greater graphics performance than the Snapdragon 835 version. Finally, the newer Mobile VR platform supports 3D audio and displays two 2400 x 2400 resolution displays at 120 frames per second, twice as much than existing headsets.

There is no timeline for mobile VR products based on the Snapdragon 845. The reference headset will be at Mobile World Conference next week, so expect hands-on coverage as we walk through the show floor in Barcelona.

Best media streaming devices for your TV

Don’t have a smart TV? Don’t worry, you don’t have to stream online videos on that tiny smartphone screen. There are plenty of media streaming devices on the market, readily available to smarten up any television.

The DGIT family is all about finding the best products for everyday users, and so we enlisted their help to create a list of the best, and then we threw them into the ring for a free-for-all deathmatch.

Of course, sometimes you just want a quick answer to the question “which is the best?” That’s where DGiT’s TL;DR comes into play.

TL;DR:

  • Apple TV 4K is the best choice for Apple users, iTunes fans, and those who want an easy to use, polished experience. It doesn’t have as much content as some of the other options on this list and has some limits when it comes to music streaming services, but it’s still a great product and one we find easy to recommend.
  • Nvidia Shield is the best choice for those  that want speed, power, and the ability to game at near-console level. It also supports a ton of apps and services, making it a flexible choice that also has Google Cast support and Android TV baked right in.
  • Roku Streaming Stick+ is the best choice for those that want tons of channels, wide support, and a platform that is often the very first to get new services and features. There’s also the Roku Ultra for those that want a bit more omph, or the Roku Streaming Stick for those that don’t need 4K and a few other fancy features.
  • Google Chromecast is the best choice for those that want a cheap no frills solution. The original Chromecast is $35, and the 4K model runs $70.

Obviously this is an oversimplification. There are many streaming devices, and they all have different pros and cons. In the video above we also take a look at Fire TV and dive into a few of the big differences between all these platforms.

But what if you have a Smart TV, or are thinking about buying one — do you even need a media streaming device in the first place?

Is there any reason to get a media streamer if my TV is already smart?

It’s true that most TVs released in the last few years have their own app ecosystem. Still, many times these platforms have a few flaws that make a stand alone device a better fit.

Smart TVs see infrequent updates. If you have a several year old smart TV it’s possible the platform practically has been abandoned. Newer models from Samsung, Apple, and others do a slightly better job but still generally lag behind settop boxes here.

Smart TV platforms sometimes have limited app support. You might get a handful or two of the popular choices but newer or niche services often are ignored.

The interfaces are often clunky. Some newer models support built-in Roku, Android TV, or other improved platforms that negate this issue but it’s still a factor for older televisions and many budget offerings.

Diving down the rabbit hole

Okay, we’ve given you a quick look at our favorite picks and an excellent video from DGIT’s Evan that puts these choices through their paces. Of course there’s plenty more to say. This quick guide was meant to get you started on your media streaming journey. Be sure to check out the full guide at DGIT for a deeper dive down into what makes each of these devices unique.
