Last February, OmniVision launched a 64 MP 1 / 1.7 sensor, which has 0.8 µm pixels. And now, the company is releasing a sensor that’s bigger than ever again, which is 64MP 1 / 1.34 and has 1.0µm pixels. Interestingly, this sensor can be used in ultrawide screens.

The pixels, which are larger than OmniVision OV64A, are 60% more sensitive to light compared to 0.8 µm pixels. Naturally, it has a 4-cell (aka Quad Bayer) color filter for pixel binning.

While it can output 8K videos at 30fps, the more interesting mode is 4K with 4-in-1 binning which results in sizable 2.0µm pixels. Especially when used for photos, this same binning mode can produce 16MP images.

This autumn, the falling leaves aren’t the only thing should be crisp. #FutureInSight new OV64A #mobile #imagesensor enables📱 cameras with prem 8K video & High Res stills. It includes 64MP res, 1.0 μm px, plus leading-class optical format of 1/1.34”: https://t.co/6It5JiZQgj pic.twitter.com/YElPV20iWW

This sensor also supports HDR which is even brighter and processes the HDR image faster than before.

Not only that, this sensor can provide them with a stable 4K 120 FPS and also offers 1080p 240 FPS and 720p 480FPS modes.

Reportedly this sensor will be delivered before this year ends which is possible in 2021, some mid-range and high-end phones can use this sensor.

As already circulating, Apple is currently developing a mini-LED screen which will be intended for 6 Apple products ranging from iPad to Mac. And reportedly, the first to use this new technology from Apple is the iPad Pro.

This was expressed by Ming-Chi Kuo himself, who said that this mini-LED was successfully developed and far better than expected. And the Apple product that tasted it for the first time was the 12.9-inch iPad Pro.

Reportedly, this latest product from Apple will be implanted in its new devices in 2021 by 50% and in 2022 it has increased by 35% until in the following years, all Apple products have implemented the mini-LED screen.

Oh yes, the info says that the first production will be carried out in Q4 this year with an initial order of 300-400 thousand units.

Fyi, Ming-Chi Kuo is an analyst at TF International Securities, a financial services group in the Asia-Pacific region. He gathered intelligence from his contacts in the Apple Asia supply chain, translating the information he gathered into research notes for clients.

One of the sectors hardest hit by the coronavirus pandemic is, and will be for a long time, entertainment. It is an activity that works fundamentally on the basis of massiveness.

Cinemas and theaters have their reason for being in the public, and nobody goes to a music recital alone, not to a bar or to a party where nobody is. Precisely these are situations in which there must be people to be profitable, and entertaining.

It is not known when the vaccine will arrive, so it is also not clear when everything will be as before if it ever will be …

Taking this reality into account, many companies have started to manufacture fashion masks and masks, but there is one that went much further.

This is the Production Club, a multidisciplinary creative studio based in Los Angeles and Spain and specializes in designing immersive experiences for industries such as music, technology, and gaming.

The company created Micrashell, a sort of astronaut semi-suit, an ultra-futuristic outfit, which they explain was “specifically designed to meet the needs of the nightlife, live events, and entertainment industries in times of coronavirus and social distancing.”.

“Micrashell is a computer protected against viruses, easy to control, fun to use, disinfectable, with the fast deployment of personal protective equipment (PPE) that allows you to socialize without distancing yourself,” they point out from the firm.

The founder of the company, the Spaniard Miguel Risueño, explains that with this idea they intend to help event industries of all kinds, which are now going through an “unprecedented recession”.

Micrashell features an airtight top suit with a protective scuba attached to gloves.

It can be worn on top of any clothing because the suit only occupies the upper body, allowing some freedom within the obvious paraphernalia such as going to the bathroom with ease and even having sex.

“With everyone in our industry focused on finding virtual solutions, we have decided to work on something more emotional, physical, and inherently human so that the industry can have a better chance of recovering quickly.

The team behind the design has a multidisciplinary background such as robotics, fashion design, or special effects, among others. We have worked 24/7 in 12-hour relays between the teams in Spain and Los Angeles until we finished the design. This is how Micrashell was born, “Risueño told El Mundo newspaper.

The suite includes the latest technological innovations. It is made of high performance, cut resistant tactical materials.

The helmet or diving suit has a particle filtration system based on the N95 mask, which is transparent to facilitate the vision of the person; It also comes with a voice communication system that allows you to make calls or control the audio levels of different sound sources without forgetting the pocket with battery charge to store the cell phone.

The apparel also has a built-in speaker system that lets you listen to live music in three modes: direct wireless from the DJ or band, as an emulation of the psychoacoustic-based spatial room sound, or as a direct amplification of club sound thanks to the microphone system embedded in the suit. In addition, it was built with a low resonator system, to transmit frequencies below 150 Hz by direct contact with the person’s body.

Lastly, the suit’s lens has vertical-horizontal rotation and monitoring LEDs with three functions: connection to the phone to take snapshots, a “chest eye” that allows you to see things that the suit obstructs the view and an intelligent vision system based on computer vision.

“The user will be able to consume electronic cigarettes and drinks through refillable capsules designed and adjusted on the underside of the helmet. The drinks are contained within these capsules that are only accessible to the user and the waiter or bartender, thereby thus adding a new level of security to the night world “they assure.

The set also has a lighting system, which the user can manipulate depending on their mood. “For example, a rainbow effect light can express joy, while red static light can express ‘busy’. And a flashing green light can represent a state of rest.”

According to the creators, the patent for this novel design has already been applied to the United States and they intend to carry out its mass production.

Anyway, and although they have not yet put a price on the invention, obviously it will not be “cliche” very accessible to all budgets.
