XPANCEO is heading to @VivaTech 2026 in Paris ⚡ June 14 We’ll be joining VivaTech’s 10th anniversary innovation installation on the Champs-Élysées. June 17–20 Find us in the Innovation Gallery, Hall 7.1, where we’ll showcase the technology behind our smart contact lens platform. June 19, 11:15–11:25 Our founders, @roman_axelrod and Valentyn Volkov, will take the Discovery Stage with “Deconstructing the Impossible: The Technology Behind the Smart Contact Lens,” including a demo of our updated on-eye microdisplay setup. See you at VivaTech!

Anyone in nyc enjoy building things and want free gear? 3D printer kits, conflat vacuum chambers, lasers, optics, glassware, electronic test equipment etc . Morningside heights Manhattan dm me

少しバズってますね 電子インクのプレゼンで一番驚いたのはBMWの新車ボディ全体に実装したやつ メタルギアのオクトカムみたいだ

Join us Thursday 28th May for an evening of physical AI at MIT Media Lab ⚙️

📣 The inaugural Open Source for the Life Sciences funding opportunity is live! We're hosting two information sessions to help you learn more, ask questions, and understand the application process. Sessions cover the same content, register for whichever time is most convenient:

We cut a microscopic wire inside a chip with an ion beam, then brought it back to life with platinum gas! My latest video is a collaboration with @Zeptobars, and I’m releasing it as a Youtube premiere at 18:00 CEST on Tuesday 12th May. youtube.com/watch?v=plcgYPm3…

(totally unrelated to Flipbook) My friends and I organize a creative make-a-thon summer camp for adults every summer in SF called Fidget Camp and we just opened applications for this year! If you are a creative nerd who loves to learn and teach and make art and be surrounded by others who love the same please apply by May 10th! fidgetcamp.com/

Today we're launching Era and announcing $11M in funding. We're building the intelligence layer for a new ecosystem of AI devices — the platform that lets any device manufacturer, brand, designer, or creator make objects that think, respond, and act in their own style. We're entering a Cambrian explosion — new form factors, new creators, new objects worth desiring. Made by people who've never had the tools to make them, before today. Welcome to the new Era. Backed by @AbstractVC, @BoxGroup, @topology_vc, @betaworks, @CollaborativeFund, @MozillaVentures, and @AIResidency.

🚨Google built an invisible watermark into every image Gemini has ever generated. Over 10 billion pieces of content marked. One unemployed engineer just cracked it open. With 200 black images and math. It's called reverse-SynthID. SynthID is Google DeepMind's invisible watermark. It's embedded at the pixel level into every image, video, audio, and text generated by Gemini. Invisible to the human eye. Designed to survive cropping, compression, screenshots, and format changes. It was supposed to be unbreakable. Here's how he broke it: → Generated 200 pure black and pure white images from Gemini → When you average enough pure-black AI images, every non-zero pixel IS the watermark. Nothing to hide behind. Just the signal, naked. → Used FFT spectral analysis to map the exact carrier frequencies → Discovered the watermark uses a fixed phase template — identical across every image from the same model → Cross-image phase coherence at carrier frequencies: over 99.5% → Built a detector that identifies SynthID watermarks with 90% accuracy → Built a V3 bypass that drops 91% of the phase coherence and 75% of carrier energy — at 43 dB PSNR. Almost zero visible quality loss. No neural networks. No proprietary access. No leaked code. Just signal processing and too much free time. Here's the wildest part: The green channel carries the strongest watermark signal. The carrier frequencies change based on image resolution. And the entire phase template is fixed — meaning every single Gemini image carries the same fingerprint structure. One engineer. 200 black images. A Fourier transform. That's all it took to reverse-engineer a system protecting 10 billion pieces of content. 519 GitHub stars. 39 forks. Python. Research and educational purposes only. 100% Open Source.

Morton Helig's "Sensorama was able to display stereoscopic 3-D images [,..provide] body tilting, supply stereo sound, and [..] tracks for wind and aromas[.]" Helig was, of course, a misfit dropout.

I can't put this into any other words except that "you should check our Dr. Jasmine Lu's work at jasminelu.site/ " .... A huge congratulations to @xjasminelu on her absolutely stellar PhD and to @epaulos @ken0324 @gabowd for serving on this most incredible committee!
