The flash projects the image on the slide through the lens and onto the object. This action is triggered by a built-in sensor that recognises flashes from nearby cameras. That way, the projection can automatically be synchronised with the moment of exposure of any nearby camera using a flash. The Image Fulgurator is housed in a regular single reflex camera case since most of the camera’s elements were re-used for the construction of the Image Fulgurator.

Meta Wants to Make Its First AR Glasses With a Display as Cheap as a Flagship Phone

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-11-25 02:10:35

If there’s one thing that we’ve learned in the world of mixed reality over the past year, it’s that price is pretty much everything. Just ask Apple, which is still struggling to find an audience for its $3,500 Vision Pro headset. I mean, it’s not that there’s not a lot to love about the Vision Pro (the best UI in mixed reality and a premium display are particular highlights), but I bought my first used car for a price that wasn’t too far off, and that at least got me to work semi-on time.

The Atlantic’s first hurricane of 2025 wasted no time making history. Hurricane Erin will be remembered as one of the fastest-strengthening Atlantic hurricanes on record, with perhaps the fastest intensification rate for any storm earlier than September 1, CNN reports. At 11 a.m. ET on Friday, August 15, Erin was a Category 1 hurricane, according to the National Hurricane Center. Over the next 24 hours, this storm strengthened significantly.

Picking a Spot for NASA’s Lunar Nuclear Reactor Is Trickier Than It Sounds

gizmodo.com Clive Neal 2025-11-25 06:36:22

In a bold, strategic move for the U.S., acting NASA Administrator Sean Duffy announced plans on Aug. 5, 2025, to build a nuclear fission reactor for deployment on the lunar surface in 2030. Doing so would allow the United States to gain a foothold on the Moon by the time China plans to land the first taikonaut, what China calls its astronauts, there by 2030. Apart from the geopolitical importance, there are other reasons why this move is critically important. A source of nuclear energy will be

There’s Something Really Suspicious About the Way This Star Died

Stellar death is a complex and mysterious process — but in the case of a supernova known as 2023zkd, things were more gruesome than any astronomer had ever seen before. As its name suggests, this supernova — the fabulous astronomical term for the explosive death of a star — was first spotted back in 2023, when Southern California's Zwicky Transient Facility zeroed in on it thanks to new AI algorithms designed to detect such brilliant blasts.
