JMGO has released its Iris Ultra Max Google TV projector outside China, featuring a dual-iris optical design that the company says delivers a 10,000:1 native contrast ratio.

Preorders start today at $2,999, with a full retail price of $3,499 and shipping set for October 19th.

UGA Study Finds Blue Light Reduces Eye's Ability to Resolve Fine Detail

A University of Georgia study tested 60 young adults on their ability to distinguish two close points of light under different colors, finding that blue light caused the greatest scattering and optical aberration in the eye, requiring points to be farther apart to be seen as separate. Green, yellow, red, and broadband light produced comparatively less scatter. The researchers also found iris pigmentation affected results, with lighter-colored eyes showing different sensitivity.

Philips Hue confirms wall light module for controlling Nanoleaf panels

Philips Hue has published a support page confirming a new wall light module that lets its app control Nanoleaf Hexagon, Triangle, and Mini Triangle panels. The panels will function similarly to a Hue gradient striplight, syncing to colors chosen from the Hue app's color wheel as part of a broader smart lighting setup.

Android's built-in tools make several third-party app categories redundant

A report highlights that modern Android phones already include native document scanning, OCR, QR code reading, and other utilities that previously required separate downloads. Devices running Android 14 or later can scan documents directly through the stock Camera app, eliminating the need for dedicated scanner apps.

Philips Hue reportedly prepping adapter to bring Nanoleaf Shapes into its app

Leaked images and reporting from Smartlights.de suggest Philips Hue is developing a wall light adapter that lets users control Nanoleaf's Shapes panels—including Hexagons, Triangles, and Mini Triangles—directly through the Hue app, supporting up to 100 connected panels per adapter. The module is said to launch in early September for around €40, though it remains unclear whether Nanoleaf's signature lighting effects and animations will carry over into the Hue ecosystem.
