Industrial designer  Chuan Wang from Nanjing, China, created the air umbrella project which repels rain or snow by blowing air powerfully, forming an invisible shield. At first, the high-tech umbrella release date was scheduled for as late as 2050, but the research team in China claims they can produce it by the end of 2015. The reaction of the public, especially through social medial was extraordinary; therefore putting this product on the market sooner would be a good idea. People are ready for new technology and are craving creative ideas, such as the air umbrella.

The air umbrella will come in three different versions: depending on size (30 cm, 50 cm, 80 cm), weight (500g, 800g, 850g), and battery life (15 minutes, 30 minutes for the bigger models). All models can cover two people and if the rain is light, the battery can last longer. The design is simple and comfortable, which is only natural, since we’re talking about air and not much else.

A big concern was the sound it creates, which prompted the company to use a unique material that absorbs noise. It is explained by the researchers that it is quieter than the sound of moderate rain. In case the battery runs out while the person is outside, there is a quick recharge mode. In order to have the device fully recharged it needs one to two hours for the bigger models. The 15 to 30 minutes in the rain might not be enough for some people before they get to recharge their air umbrella, to be fair. This aspect might  be a little inconvenient and it is still being improved upon. Chuan Wang mentions that the device is targeted at people who have a car, which immediately makes its construction and battery life more understandable and appropriate. Another important worry customers have is if it blows water onto bystanders. The inventor explains that if the people are two shoulders away, they will not affect each other. That’s good for those who like their “private space”.

The price of this great product is estimated to be around $200 for the larger models, once the Air Umbrella hits the market. While the project is in its development stage, the researchers are improving the characteristics explained above, in order to make it more attractive to the market. It would be great to see the actual reaction when people own a product like this. All the fans are curious and anxious to try out a new way to protect themselves from the rain in a more ecological way. Estimated delivery time is set for December 2015 as the Kickstarter project has reached its goal.

Who doesn’t enjoy listening to a good story. Personally I love reading about the people who inspire me and what it took for them to achieve their success. As I am a bit of a self confessed tech geek I think there is no better way to discover these stories than by reading every day some articles or the newspaper . My bookcases are filled with good tech biographies, they remind me that anyone can be a success. So even if you come from an underprivileged part of society or you aren’t the smartest person in the room we all have a chance to reach the top. The same message shines in my beliefs. All it takes to succeed is a good idea, a little risk and a lot of hard work and any geek can become a success. VENI VIDI VICI .

Fans of Final Fantasy 16 disagree as new debate over the squeeze gap begins

Fans of Final Fantasy have been disputing for decades over a variety of topics, such as whether game VIII is the finest or which one contains the best minigames. But something fresh has the community in a tizzy, and this time it’s a 19-second trailer for the upcoming Final Fantasy XVI that’s energizing fans along with the reappearance of certain well-worn and recognizable talking points.

If it weren’t for the fissure that protagonist Clive skillfully navigates in the video, this narrative might have been about Torgal, a great canine companion. That’s right, we have returned to the discussion of the Squeeze Gap, the most heinous error in game design (in the eyes of some fans).

Others pointed out that you can see through the gap that this is an intentional design choice and does not, in fact, hide a loading screen. In the colorful comments section of the aforementioned Tweet, some people complained about the inclusion of yet another Squeeze Gap on current-gen PCs.If you have nothing better to do, follow us down the rabbit hole of quote-retweets.

Sincerity be damned, we don’t really care either way, but it is odd for Square Enix to release an official promo for a highly anticipated game that shows half of a character squirming through a small space.As always, the music is spot on; praise where praise is due. On June 22, Final Fantasy XVI will debut for PlayStation 5.

What do you think of the squeeze gaps generally and the squeezegate incident specifically?

In order to decide which publisher published the best games, Metacritic calculates ratings for all the games that were released in the previous calendar year. The website that collects review ratings for all popular media has done the math, and Sony Interactive Entertainment came out on top for 2022.

Yes, Sony’s first-party initiatives from the previous year allowed it to “no issue” claim the top spot on Metacritic’s list.  The 2022 release schedule for the platform holder averaged 85.6 points overall, with all of its PC ports scoring in the website’s “green score” range.

The business did indeed have a successful year in 2017. We had a fantastic trio of original games: God of War Ragnarok, Gran Turismo 7, and Horizon Forbidden West, all of which were of very high caliber. But in addition to that, the firm also launched The Last of Us: Part I and a number of PC ports, including God of War, Marvel’s Spider-Man, and Uncharted: The Legacy of Thieves Collection, all of which received positive reviews from critics. MLB The Show 22 had the lowest metascore of any Sony game last year, according to Metacritic, but it still earned a respectable 77.

According to Metacritic, these are the top 10 publishers for 2022:

  1. Sony Interactive Entertainment
  2. Paradox Interactive
  3. Activision Blizzard
  4. Focus Entertainment
  5. Take-Two Interactive
  6. Capcom
  7. SEGA
  8. Annapurna Interactive
  9. Humble Games
  10. Devolver Digital
