The technology that hides fingerprint sensors underneath displays will make the dreaded smartphone bezel extinct
During CES 2018, I tried a feature that’s been confined to the smartphone rumour mill for some time, but it’s finally a reality. I’m talking about the first truly invisible fingerprint sensor that’s hidden underneath a smartphone’s display. It’s a technological feat achieved by Synaptics, a US-based company that develops tech like laptop touchpads and touchscreens, and you’ve almost certainly used some of their products without even knowing it. I tried the new tech on a smartphone made by Chinese company Vivo. Its front surface is all glass and the screen has minimal bezels on the top and bottom, but the fingerprint sensor is in its rightful place: On the front, towards the bottom. But unlike most phones with front-facing fingerprint sensors and large bezels around the display, the Vivo phone has minimal bezels on the top and bottom.

CES attracts an international audience and high-profile companies like Samsung, LG, and Google. While many tech giants have taken to debuting products on their own schedule, the show remains a hub for new and experimental technologies. This year’s show saw the battle heat up between Google and Amazon for smart-assistant domination, the rise of cute robots, and the most innovative TVs we’ve ever seen. After walking the show floor at CES, these were the six biggest technology trends I noticed: Google’s Assistant and Amazon’s Alexa were everywhere at CES this year, integrated into everything from wireless headphones to water faucets. Towards the beginning of CES, Google announced its Assistant would be included ina new line of “smart screens.”The displays are powered by Google Assistant, but manufactured by third-party partners like JBL, Lenovo, … [Read more...] about These were the 6 most popular trends I saw at the biggest technology show of 2018
Kroger is rolling out a new technology to nearly 200 stores that could change grocery shopping as we know it
Kroger is rolling out a new technology to nearly 200 stores, and it could change grocery shopping as we know it. The technology, called Kroger Edge, will be installed on store shelves where paper price tags currently hang. It digitally displays pricing and nutritional information, as well as video ads and coupons for various products. The technology gives Kroger the ability to instantly change prices and activate promotions across its stores, enabling it to undercut sales at other chains and freeing up employees who would otherwise change prices by hand. “It’s an exciting platform for a lot of future innovation,” Kroger Chief Information Officer Chris Hjelm told Business Insider in an interview. In the future, the technology will communicate with customers’ smartphones to help them complete their shopping lists. “As you walk down the aisle, it will highlight the next item for you to pick on your shopping list,” Hjelm said. This means the shelf will … [Read more...] about Kroger is rolling out a new technology to nearly 200 stores that could change grocery shopping as we know it
