Tech Review – Twinkly Squares Multicolour Edition

Twinkly Squares are small LED panels that light up to further connect your home. Composed of 64-pixel RGB LEDs, Squares are available in packs of 9 or 16 panels. Twinkly Squares is a revolutionary product that combines the power of an LED wall with the sophistication of interior design. The system can be connected to other Twinkly products, to create amazing environmental effects, from DJ set lighting to immersive gaming consoles.

Not only do these spruce up your home they have other features built in which is controlled via their app which we go through in great detail in the video review below but these are pretty cool and a nice addition to my home.

What is great with Twinkly squares is they are modular and it is not hard to set up it took me about ten minutes to set my pack up and again this can be arranged in any form you want, the more you have the better would be a good way to put it and you can customise the layout and what shows up on the well built panels, they are very robust and better than others I have seen and own as is here at home dotted around the house and often seen on one of my review tables.

Now setting up did have some issues and this must be set up over a 2.5ghz network I have both here and had to change my router settings you can get started with bluetooth then connect to the app, there was an update on my app to which possibly contributed to my set up you can see the images below, you have to map the squares to get set up fully and you can also connect to the squares Wi-Fi but it is best to use your home Wi-Fi.

After that it is basically fun and games on what you want to show on the squares which comes loaded with options in the app itself or you can pick from your phones gallery.

It is more on the expensive side however more is on offer via their app and the build quality alone is worth it, this could be an ideal present for someone for Christmas too and it is just a nice addition to you home regardless.

Revolutionary Twinkly Squares smart LED wall panels completely redefine decorative lighting. Whether you want pixel-perfect artwork and GIFs for your home or office space, cool ambience and mood lighting, reactive gaming lights, or a unique night light for kids, Squares is a must-have display screen and lighting decoration. Available in starter and extension kits, each Squares wall panel features 64 premium, app-controlled, addressable LEDs that were designed for extraordinary brightness and color quality in over 16 million colors. Physically combine each master panel with up to 15 extension panels, and use the Twinkly App to sync larger groups of Squares and create huge displays of virtually endless preset and customizable effects, animations, GIFs, and pixel art on your walls and ceilings.

Two-day RENDR Festival explores nexus between creativity and tech

A two-day festival planned for Belfast early next year will see creative minds from across the global film, gaming, animation and immersive tech industries converge in East Belfast to explore the space where creativity and technology collide, with the longest-serving writer and producer of The Simpsons among the line-up of speakers announced.

Produced by the team behind the city’s annual photography festival, RENDR, formerly known as Capture Conference, will take place from 23-24 February 2023 at Portview Trade Centre in the heart of East Belfast as part of the NI Science Festival.

Billed as a ‘unique nocturnal experience’, RENDR will present 30 speakers across two evenings alongside live and interactive demonstrations of new technology, digital art, gaming experiences and a food village offering the very best of Northern Ireland’s local food and drink producers.

The festival has been curated for anyone with an interest in popular culture and learning more about how genre-defining film, gaming, animation and immersive experiences are brought to life. Through a series of talks, workshops and showcases, RENDR will also create a platform for creatives and students to build networks and explore new opportunities in the industry.

Among the speakers travelling to Belfast for the festival is production stills photographer David James. The long-time collaborator of Hollywood royalty Steven Speilberg will share insight into the award-winning images he has produced for such movies as Schindler’s List, Saving Private Ryan and Mission Impossible.

Mike Reiss, the longest-serving writer and producer of The Simpsons, will also travel to Belfast as part of the festival. Reiss, who co-wrote The Simpsons Movie, will discuss his illustrious career as part of the team behind the long-running animated sitcom, offering an insider’s perspective into the creative process that has seen the show rise to the status of cultural phenomenon.

Also Belfast-bound is Dorothy Di Stefano, creator/founder of Molten Immersive Art. One of the world’s foremost voices in immersive and interactive art curation, she leads a collective of international experiential artists and researchers working at the cutting edge of new technology and art.

Championing Northern Ireland’s own creative industries, RENDR, which is supported by NI Screen, the Arts Council of Northern Ireland and Belfast City Council, will also recognise the influence and impact of local creatives.

Alongside international voices, Belfast-based production stills photographer Helen Sloan will discuss her work behind the scenes of HBO’s blockbuster series Game of Thrones, and BAFTA-nominated director Kris Kelly of Enter Yes™ will showcase the work of the visual effects and animation studio, which specialises in high-end visuals for film, television and games.

Festival director Michael Weir says: “RENDR is an opportunity to network, to demo new and emerging tech, to be inspired and to gain insight into the latest trends and developments in the creative industries – all with an emphasis on new technologies. We hope the event informs, engages and challenges the creative community to push the boundaries of technology in their fields.”

Commenting on the value of the creative industries, Weir adds: “We’re programming speakers and thought leaders from around the world, but also using this moment to recognise what this place has to offer in terms of its award-winning expertise and innovations. The creative industries are important economic drivers for Northern Ireland and with the support of our funders at NI Screen, the Arts Council of Northern Ireland and Belfast City Council we hope to both amplify their contribution to building a vibrant arts and culture sector locally and create a platform to showcase what homegrown talent can offer on the global stage.”

Richard Williams, Chief Executive Officer of Northern Ireland Screen, commented: “As part of Northern Ireland Screen’s new four-year strategy ‘Stories, Skills and Sustainability’ we remain committed to supporting opportunities for our industry colleagues to share their stories and enhance their skills to ensure a sustainable future. RENDR’s packed and varied programme presents the local screen industry with the opportunity to showcase their talent alongside international industry, to hear from and learn from local, national, and international leading professionals and gain valuable insight into new and emerging tech and trends.”

Matthew Malcolm, Arts Development Officer, Arts Council of Northern Ireland, added: ”RENDR is a unique and exciting festival that will lead, inspire and connect creative industry professionals and all those interested in learning more about new, emerging technologies and their use in creating art. The Arts Council of Northern Ireland is thrilled to support RENDR which reflects our commitment to encouraging innovative practices that cross artform boundaries and build digital capabilities within the Northern Ireland arts sector.”

Belfast City Council Chair of City Growth and Regeneration Committee, Councillor Ryan Murphy, said: “We are delighted to be supporting RENDR Festival this year and pleased to see such a wide range of creative and digital technology leaders and entrepreneurs taking part. The creative digital industry is a strong part of our city’s economy and we have ambitions to become world class in digital innovation, with investment from the Belfast Region City Deal. In order to do this, we need to facilitate engagement, collaboration and knowledge sharing between creative businesses, education and our public sector and RENDR Festival will play a key role in that.”

Further speakers are set to be announced in the coming weeks. For the full list of speakers revealed to date and to book tickets, visit RENDRfestival.com and stay up to date with the latest developments and speakers announcements on the festival’s FacebookTwitterInstagram and LinkedIn.

What are the Stages of Delivery for a New Software Product?

Establishing a new product in today’s economic climate is a challenging task, to say the least. Many businesses are on the back foot, as a result of considerable falls in consumer expenditure – itself a result of rising costs across the board.

But even in times of relative strife, economically speaking, there are some industries that remain resilient. Tech is one such industry, as new technological achievements keep even the smallest of start-ups competitive. In order to make the most of this truth, it is crucial to understand the steps inherent to establishing the presence of a software product. If you are intending to invest in new software, what do you need to know about the process?

Concept

Products do not emerge from tech companies fully formed. Software development is a long and iterative process, that begins with the concept stage. This is a real bare-bones stage, in which the idea for a software product is teased out through a number of key questions – which can be as simple as “what should our product do?”

The concept for the product may be born of a new technological capability, and a wish to race to market with this capability. Alternatively, it may be an attempt to plug a lucrative gap in the market, or to meet a specific need. Either way, it is vital to understand the scope of the project early, and define clear goals for what success looks like in that regard. Nailing down a central concept keeps the project focused, and gives form to the product early.

Legal

In this early stage, it is especially important to keep abreast of legal aspects and concerns. Expert counsel is advised to oversee the various legal requirements a given software product might demand, particularly where user data is collected and recorded as part of the product’s function. Licensing is also a key part of this equation, where software products typically involve the usage and incorporation of third-party tools as part of their infrastructure.

Design and Development

Speaking of which, with your concept finalised, the next step in the process is to design and develop the product itself. As indicated earlier, this is an iterative process – one which requires multiple ‘passes’ and adjustments to both design and expectations in order to effectively reach a finished product.

There are multiple angles to consider here, too. Not only do back-end processes need to be designed and tested, but front-end user experience (UX) needs to be optimised. A key part of this process is user testing, or quality assurance (QA) – a process best known in the videogame industry where new titles are exhaustively tested for bugs and experience feedback.

Launch

As the product approaches completion, launch dates beckon. However, the testing process is never truly complete, and even in launch larger pools of testers can be engaged to make final touches to the product. It is not unusual for developers to launch a beta version of their product, either for free or at a reduced price to interested parties, in order to gather valuable user feedback and implement changes ahead of the launch proper.

Of course, it is highly competitive and you will need a strong business idea to succeed, so it is important that you know how to build a successful tech startup. Keep reading for a few of the key areas to focus on like finding an online business on sale

Start With a Strong & Unique Idea

Obviously, you need a strong and unique business idea to succeed in the tech industry. The potential for technology is endless, but it is also difficult to come up with something that is unique and you need to be wary of stealing IP from another company.

Funding

As with any new business venture, funding is key as you need to have enough money to get the business up and running. Costs can be high when it comes to a tech startup, so you need to calculate what your costs are and then find the best funding option. Secured business loans can be a good option as you do not have to give up any control unlike using investors and it can be relatively straightforward to secure the funding.

Market Research

Market research is a key stage when starting any kind of business. This will help you to determine who your competitors are and who your target demographic is, which will then allow you to build a business that stands out from the crowd and appeals to your target demographic. 

Build a Technical Team

One of the key challenges in this industry is the actual development of the product/service. This is why you need to take your time to build a technical team that has the knowledge and skills required to develop your product/service.

Business Plan

A business plan will give you a chance to outline your idea for the business and can act as a map to your success. A business plan will also be helpful for securing funding, recruiting staff and attracting any other stakeholders to your business.

Brand, Website & Launch

Strong branding is essential in this industry so you want to create an identity that will appeal to your target market. You will also need to design a professional-standard website so that people can research your company prior to launching.

These are the key stages to starting a tech business and will hopefully help you to find success. 

PlayStation 5 vs PlayStation 4: Why You Should Upgrade

The PlayStation 5 came out on November 12, 2020, in the US — and it is better than ever. With a new sleek design, more powerful hardware, and a range of new features, the PlayStation 5 is one of the most popular consoles on the market worldwide. In addition, the PS5 is the newest console on the market, and it is still hard to find in physical stores. However, you can find PS5 games at gamestop.ie. Hence, many people are currently wondering if they should upgrade from their PS4 to the PS5 or if they should keep their previous console for a while longer. The answer is not as simple as yes or no.

The PS4 is not yet outdated and many people are still enjoying playing on it, most games and interactive features are still available and the market keeps growing. Of course, a new model offers additional features and state-of-the-art technology. The decision of whether to upgrade to the PS5 or not depends on what kind of games you like to play and how much money you are willing to spend. 

If you are a fan of the PlayStation exclusive games, then you might want to consider upgrading to the PS5. However, if you are happy with the games you are playing on your PS4, then you don’t need to upgrade right away.

In this article, we consider prices, design, specs, and games to determine which PlayStation is best. Read on to find out whether to upgrade or not.

Design

When it comes to the design, the PS5 is significantly bigger and bulkier than its predecessor and has a much more industrial look to it. The latest edition of the PS4 is slim, and light. Some people love the new design, while others think it’s too big and actually quite ugly.

Another difference between the two consoles is the way they handle heat. The PS5 generates less heat since it has a much larger heat sink and cooling system than the PS4. Additionally, PS5 also has a built-in power supply, so you won’t need to buy a separate one.

The PS5 is also available in different colours such as Starlight Blue, and Nova Pink. However, the PS4 had two-tone colour themes and a traditional outlook.

Specs

PlayStation 5 has an RDNA 2 GPU that is twice as powerful as the PlayStation 4. In addition, the PS5 GPU has 10.28 TFLOPs of power, and 36 CUs at 2.23GHz. However, PS4 has AMD Radeon GPU with 4.2 teraflops.

In terms of memory, PS5 has 16GB of GDDR6 RAM, and a 256-bit interface compared to the PS4’s 8GB of DDR5 RAM. This will offer a significant performance boost, as GDDR6 is much faster than DDR3.

Furthermore, the PS5 has a custom-designed 825GB SSD. This is a significant upgrade over the PS4’s 1TB HDD, as SSDs are much faster than hard drives. The PS5 also has a 4K UHD Blu-ray drive, compared to the PS4’s standard Blu-ray drive. This will allow you to watch 4K movies on your PS5.

The PS5 will offer significant improvements over the PS4 in terms of visuals and audio. As such, PS5 will support 4K resolution at up to 120fps, compared to the PS4’s 4K resolution at 60fps. The PS5 will also support 3D audio, while the PS4 does not.

Games

While the PS5 has some new games, it will also be backward compatible with many PS4 games. This means that gamers will be able to play their favorite PS4 games on the new console. Some of these games include Uncharted 4, God of War, Bloodborne, Ratchet, and Clank.

In addition, the PlayStation 5 has some new generation exclusives that the PlayStation 4 does not have. For example, the PS5 has Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Horizon Forbidden West, and Gran Turismo 7. The PS4, on the other hand, does not have any of those games. 

Verdict

After considering the pros and cons of both the PlayStation 5 and the PlayStation 4, it is evident that the PlayStation 5 is the better choice. The PlayStation 5 has better graphics, a faster processor, more storage, and backwards compatibility. Consequently, it is clear that the PlayStation 5 can offer gamers a more complete and intense experience.

If you’re a serious gamer, upgrading to the PlayStation 5 is a no-brainer. However, you will have to pay the price.

Tech Review – Enfokus AI-based intelligent video conference camera

The EnFokus AI Video Conference Camera came in clearly defined packaging with the key features visible on the packaging. The kit is robust with no additional accessories to lose or carry around, the cable with a USB A plug connects directly to a windows laptop without any issues. The camera is mechanical in terms of operation adjusted which pops up with voice automation to advise the scanning AI on the views. The speaker (2 Watt) is incorporated into the kit with a nice touch of LXM logo on the kit. This kit does not have any controls on the unit in terms of volume/ mute etc which have to be done via a Laptop etc.

Key features

  •       AI face recognition
  •       Double talk
  •       Echo Cancellation
  •       Noise reduction
  •       Invisible Camera
  •       Built-in audio DSP

Set up:

The setup is simple and easy Plug and play, and no additional drivers were required.  This took less than one minute to update and required no additional accessories required. Microsoft teams automatically changed the speaker and camera on numerous calls with no time lag or loss.

The AI face recognition was automatic in the background, as focused on a face within a room this took up to 30 seconds on initially plugging in the camera but the Pan tilt zoom part adjusted accordingly as a person’s face moved within the room as would be done during a presentation. The double talk where 2 people on a call spoke at the same time again worked without interference.  The camera when connected shows a red light and changes to a green line when on a call,

Warranty:

The warranty comes with a 1-year warranty, which is disappointing from the website in terms of manufacturing culture and mixed communication in terms of repair times and taking responsibility for customers.

Conclusion :

The EnFokus AI Video Conference Camera does what is said on the box easily and efficiently and works as required. The 2-watt speaker is sufficient for voice calls but lacks a punch when used to listen to high-quality music ranges albeit this is not designed for this area while sufficient to listen to eg Youtube music in the background. The 4 inbuilt microphones have a range of 5 Meters which is sufficient for most boardrooms and can handle multiple people talking at once. The  2K ( 2560 X 1440)  Camera works well and has clarity in a variety of settings when the light dimmed or in a bright room. The AI face recognition worked well and zoomed in or Panned as required to a facial movement. This was noted to be slow which may be designed to ensure a steady smooth transition rather than a jump on the camera. The Manufactures’s website has a variety of mixed messages in terms of warranty repairs and lacks the customer-first ethos as seen by some of the brands tested in the past.

Overall, The product does what is supposed to do keeping it simple without the clutter of additional accessories getting lost, or additional buttons/displays on the units overcomplicating the product. An easy simple product to connect and use, and works as expected.

Funny way to say, “Sent from Smartphone.”

You receive many emails ending with “Sent from my iPhone” or another mobile email signature. Whatever you think of these email signatures, they serve their marketing purpose. When communicating with customers on mobile devices, you may send emails that contain typos or formatting errors, and your message may come across as hostile, short, and rude. Email signatures explain to people why they should contact you. There are various creative ways to let your contacts know you are using a mobile device to communicate. For example, you can use an iPhone email signature generator to create interesting signatures and mobile mailing lists of your message to all interested parties.

Accusation technology

Some smartphone features like autocorrect and voice recognition are designed to make your life easier. But sometimes, they do the opposite. Your colleagues and clients will likely be involved in these matters, so mentioning them in your signature can be helpful and exciting. The email signature may be just a minor addition to our Email. Just enter your company name in the sender field, and recipients will know all about you. There is nothing more accessible – the email signature is one of the essential elements of your mobile mail. Therefore, make sure that your email signature is prepared correctly. A mobile email signature is your business card, which provides better communication with recipients and creates a positive image for you. What we should avoid when creating a mobile email signature is ensuring that it is not perceived as unprofessional in the age of social networks. In addition to informational purposes, an email signature can make your message more attractive. What else could be in it? Be proud of your achievements. Has your company won a prestigious award? 

Do you have valuable certificates? Provide such information, and you will win your customers’ trust. Social media works best with your company’s image, so allow your recipient to join the community or share your content with relevant links. You can actively promote your brand by providing your recipients with answers to specific questions. For example, do you have a phone number or dedicated email address for customer service? Place this information in the email signature, which will shorten the recipient’s path to accurately expressing their needs. List additional services such as free shipping, loyalty club, warranty period, current offer, and other exciting things. Direct the recipient to unique places by placing valuable links in the mobile email signature. Do you have a blog, custom landing page, or website that you want your recipients to visit? Place the link in the mobile email signature. Check messages on all mail clients. Remember: just because a mobile email signature looks right in your inbox doesn’t mean it will look the same in everyone else’s. 

The mobile email signature is also a convenient place to insert information about future events organized by your company – training, seminars, and conferences. Check what an email signature can do for you. Use it to make a positive impression, grab attention, and show what recipients expect. Give them something interesting. When preparing an email signature, the most important thing is to find the golden mean that will distinguish you – a professional marketer – from others. Remember: the email signature should provide the recipients with the essential information about you, and all additional elements, such as a logo, and a link to a website, will help you create a positive image.

Words about not knowing a smartphone

Sometimes it’s not the phone. Communication on the road with such a small device can sometimes be challenging.

Have fun with Siri

A brief description of the random Email

Just because you have a smartphone with email access doesn’t mean you have to be prepared for everything. You can have a signature for the mobile phone from which it will be sent.

The opportunity to have fun

You don’t have to be specific about what device you’re using to let others know. You can easily create jokes to let people know you’re emailing them from your mobile device. Tell others you’re on the phone, such as “sent by carrier pigeon,” “sent by the shield,” or “sent by payphone.” If you joke about technology, it won’t be perceived as wrong or bad. On the other hand, “I’m better than you, so sent from my iPhone” or “Sent from my $400 smartphone” refers to using a particular mobile device as a status symbol. Remember that sarcastic lines in emails can be taken as overkill if others don’t understand your sense of humor.
