Could Your Webcam Help With Dementia and Stroke Rehab? This Startup Thinks So
Dual-task cognitive rehabilitation training scene utilizing EYAS Dual | Image provided by INTHETECH Grocery shopping or putting food away involves more than memory. You need to recognize objects, decide what to do with them, and coordinate your movements. For someone experiencing cognitive difficulties, those familiar routines can become challenging. South Korean company InTheTech is developing EYAS Dual around that connection between thinking and movement. Its platform combines cognitive exercises with physical actions, using a camera to let people interact with activities such as sorting recycling or shopping for groceries. The potentially useful part is how the company intends to deliver it: through ordinary computers, tablets, and smartphones , without requiring a dedicated rehabilitation machine. It runs on any device you already own, no hardware purchase, InTheTech representative Lucy Lee told me during our interview. The direction is clear. InTheTech wants to make movement-based cognitive training easier to bring into care facilities and, eventually, peoples homes. Cognitive rehabilitation training program screen of EYAS Dual | Image provided by INTHETECH InTheTech already has an established rehabilitation business and a family of EYAS products. EYAS Dual represents a new delivery model within that business, with the company aiming to reduce the equipment and setup needed to access its exercises. During the demonstration, I noticed that much of the interaction involved the arms and upper body. I asked Lee what moving an arm adds compared with tapping a touchscreen. She explained that the goal is to practice actions such as reaching and grasping while completing a cognitive task. For example, a person might need to identify an item, decide where it belongs, and move it to the appropriate location. This approach is generally called dual-task training : combining a physical activity with a thinking task. It is an established area of rehabilitation research, and there is evidence supporting its potential. An August 2026 review published in PLOS Digital Health examined 23 randomized trials involving 1,674 older adults with cognitive decline. It found that dual-task programs delivered outside clinics could improve cognitive performance, including a modest average advantage over other active interventions. InTheTechs technology also has a published research history. A 2023 randomized study involving 60 stroke patients used the companys virtual-reality content as part of an eight-week rehabilitation program and reported encouraging cognitive and functional results. Context: the earlier program combined adapted VR exercises with workbook training in a hospital setting. The broader review covered different interventions and patient groups. Neither establishes that EYAS Dual will produce the same outcomes. Lee made that distinction during our conversation, explaining that the research supports the general training method while validation of the new product is still underway. The platform could also be useful to therapists and caregivers. According to InTheTech, it starts with an assessment, selects exercises, and generates reports from session data, including response times and movement measurements. Automating some of that work could make progress easier to follow and reduce administrative effort. Using consumer hardware for a medical application is entirely plausible. FDA-authorized software such as EndeavorRx already runs on mobile devices at home. What matters is the particular softwares evidence and authorized use. Pricing is also provisional. Lee suggested approximately $50 per month , or $30 per month for home use , while emphasizing that the business model was unfinished. At the time of our interview, demos were available, but the product had not launched. A subsequent public release date remains unconfirmed. What interests me most is the possibility of making a useful rehabilitation approach easier to access through familiar hardware. InTheTechs next challenge is to show that EYAS Dual can turn that convenience into measurable benefits in peoples everyday lives. InTheTech plans to showcase EYAS Dual at CES 2027 and is competing for a CES Innovation Award. Could Your Webcam Help With Dementia and Stroke Rehab?

Handle every PDF task on your Mac with one $39.99 lifetime license
Macworld TL;DR: A lifetime license to PDF Reader Pro Premium for Mac is on sale for $39.99 (MSRP $79.99), giving you full PDF editing, OCR, forms, and signatures with no subscription. Editing a PDF on a Mac usually means exporting it somewhere else, making your changes, and hoping the layout survives the trip back. Preview handles basic markup, but it wont let you touch the original text or swap an image. PDF Reader Pro Premium for Mac fixes that, and a lifetime license is on sale for $39.99. You can edit the original text and images directly, the way you would in Word, then insert, replace, or rearrange pages without opening a second app. Markup tools let you highlight, underline, and strike through right on the document. OCR turns scanned files into searchable, editable text, so a pile of paper documents stops being a dead end. Password encryption and redaction lock down anything sensitive, and batch tools apply watermarks or compression across many files at once. You can also build fillable forms, complete and sign existing ones, and add a legally binding digital signature. One license works on a single Mac running macOS 11 or later, including Sonoma, and you redeem your code within 30 days of purchase. TechRadar named it the best PDF reader for Mac .

How to Turn On Two-Factor Authentication for Google Account: A Step-by-Step Guide
Google allows users to enable two-factor authentication for their accounts to add an extra layer of protection against hackers. Even if the password to your Google account gets compromised, leaked, or stolen, the bad actors will not be able to gain unauthorised access to your account without getting through the second verification step. This makes it harder for your Google account to get hacked. Since your Google account stores crucial information and personal data, like your name, address, and financial information, two-factor authentication can protect this data from getting stolen.

MilliTrack AMR+ Help Robots Navigate Where Cameras And LiDAR Fail
Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) increasingly move materials around factories and warehouses, but most still rely heavily on cameras and LiDAR to understand where they are. Those systems can struggle in environments filled with dust, fog, excessive light, or long rows of nearly identical shelves. These are not rare occurrences at industrial locations. South Korean startup MilliTrack wants to address those blind spots with AMR+ , an add-on localization system that uses millimeter-wave radio signals instead of relying solely on what the robot can see. Rather than replacing an AMRs existing navigation system, AMR+ supplements it. A tracker is installed on the robot, while small tags can be placed in areas where the robots normal SLAM localization becomes unreliable. SLAM is a technology that lets a robot build a map of its surroundings while simultaneously figuring out where it is on that map. The system can then provide the AMR with another, better, source for its position. MilliTrack claims 3 cm localization accuracy at distances up to 30 meters , with latency below 100 milliseconds. Importantly, AMR+ does not require the robot to abandon its existing LiDAR, cameras, or inertial sensors. During our conversation with MilliTrack CEO Song Min Kim , he explained that an AMR can monitor the confidence level of its normal SLAM localization and switch to coordinates provided by AMR+ when that confidence drops. The reverse is also possible. MilliTracks system requires line of sight between the tracker and a tag. If that connection disappears, the robot can fall back on its existing localization technologies. This makes AMR+ an additional localization layer rather than a replacement for the navigation hardware already installed on the robot. The tags work somewhat like long-range RFID devices. Instead of continuously transmitting a radio signal, they reflect a millimeter-wave signal sent by the tracker using a technique called backscatter . This dramatically reduces their power requirements. MilliTrack says its AMR+ tags can operate for up to 20 years on a battery and require no power or network cabling. That could make deployment relatively simple: identify areas where an AMR has localization problems and install tags only where they are needed. The tags can also be moved as factory layouts or operating conditions change. Another interesting feature is self-calibration . Traditional real-time location systems can require installers to precisely measure the position of fixed reference points. MilliTracks technology allows its devices to measure their relative positions automatically. In a demonstration shown during our briefing, the calibration process took about 60 seconds . Advanced Research Behind The Startup MilliTrack was founded in 2024 by Song Min Kim, who is also an associate professor of electrical engineering at KAIST , one of South Koreas leading technology universities. The commercial product is based on years of localization research conducted by Kim and his team, including MilliTrack CTO Kang Min Bae . Based on the published research we reviewed, the technical foundation appears unusually strong for an early-stage startup. In one peer-reviewed project called Hawkeye , the researchers demonstrated sub-centimeter millimeter-wave backscatter localization over very long distances, reporting approximately 7 mm median accuracy at a distance of 160 meters in prototype testing. AMR+ uses a considerably more conservative commercial specification of 3 cm at 30 meters, but the earlier research provides useful context for the technology behind the product. MilliTrack says its localization technology has already been used in more than 30 deployments and ongoing proof-of-concept projects, primarily in Korean industrial environments. Around $1,000 To Upgrade An Existing AMR AMR+ is scheduled to launch in March 2027 . Final pricing has not been announced, but Song told us that MilliTrack currently expects a package containing one tracker and one tag to cost around $1,000 , while additional tags could cost approximately $200 each , just to indulge us with a ballpark estimate. That pricing model is important because an entire factory would not necessarily need to be covered. A company could initially install AMR+ only in locations where its robots have trouble navigating and expand the system later if necessary. For industrial robots, localization does not need to depend on a single technology. Cameras and LiDAR work extremely well in many environments, while radio localization has different strengths and limitations. MilliTracks approach is interesting because it does not attempt to replace what already works. Instead, AMR+ is designed to give existing robots another way to know exactly where they are when their usual sensors become unreliable. MilliTrack plans to showcase its technology at CES 2027, ahead of the planned AMR+ launch in March 2027.

Top Stories: iOS 27 and macOS Golden Gate Out Now, Siri AI Waitlist, and More
All of Apple's products introduced at last week's event with the exception of the iPhone Duo are now available, with the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4, and AirPods 5 all launching on Friday. While new hardware is always a welcome arrival, users of existing hardware also got big upgrades this week with the releases of iOS 27, macOS Golden Gate and more. Apple is also already looking ahead to iOS 27.1 that will ship with the iPhone Duo next month and iOS 27.2 that will see the first significant round of improvements to iOS 27 for all users, so read on below for all of details on these stories and more! Top Stories Apple Releases iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 With Siri AI and Liquid Glass Update Following last week's big iPhone event, this week saw the traditional public release of Apple's new major operating system updates, headlined by iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 . iOS 27 brings new Siri AI capabilities to users in many countries around the world, as well as a variety of other new features and improvements. For a quick introduction to iOS 27, check out our list of 10 features to try first , and when you're ready for more, move on to our look at 50 new things your iPhone can do in iOS 27 . And for the most thorough look at what's new, our iOS 27 Ultimate Mega Guide links to all of the feature coverage we've been putting together for the release. macOS Golden Gate Now Available With Siri AI, Visual Intelligence and More On the Mac side, this week saw the release of macOS Golden Gate 27 . The update introduces Siri AI, a smarter chatbot version of Siri with a dedicated Siri app. It also brings Visual Intelligence to the Mac for the first time, and tweaks the look of the Liquid Glass design update Apple introduced last year. For a quick overview of what's new in macOS Golden Gate, be sure to check out our list of 10 features to try first , including Siri AI, easier creation of Shortcuts and Safari Extensions, performance improvements, and more, and then move on to our guide to 50 new features and changes for a more in-depth look. Apple Says iPhone 18 Pro Max Sold in U.S. Differs in One Way Following last week's introduction of the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, there was some confusion over the cellular modems included in the devices, with it appearing that Apple's own C2 modem was only included in the iPhone 18 Pro . Apple later updated its spec pages for the new models around the world, making it clear that the C2 is included in both the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max in every country around the world EXCEPT for the iPhone 18 Pro Max in the United States. That device continues to use the Qualcomm Snapdragon X80 modem from the iPhone 17 Pro models, but Apple has yet to explain the reason for this difference. Reminder: iOS 27's All-New Siri AI Has a Waitlist, Here's How to Sign Up If you recently installed iOS 27 on your iPhone, you might be wondering where the new-and-improved Siri AI and dedicated Siri app are. In case you missed it, you must join Apple's waitlist in order to gain access to these new features . Keep in mind that while iOS 27 is compatible with the iPhone 11 and newer, Siri AI is limited to the iPhone 15 Pro and newer. It is also not currently available at all in EU countries due to Apple's regulatory battle with the European Commission over Digital Markets Act requirements. For those who are eligible for Siri AI, joining the waitlist is a simple process in the Settings app. Once on the list, wait times seem to vary, with some users receiving access to Siri AI within a few minutes of signing up and others having to wait a few hours or even days. Apple Releases First iOS 27.2 Beta With iOS 27.0 out the door, Apple this week seeded the first beta of iOS 27.2 and related updates to developers for testing purposes. Yes, that's right...iOS 27.2, not 27.1. The biggest change in the first iOS 27.2 beta is the revamped Health app that Apple showed off at last week's iPhone event , although Apple says it won't be included in the public release of the update, so the general public will need to wait a bit longer for it to be available. For more, check out our full list of everything new in the first beta of iOS 27.2 . iCloud+ Now Includes Apple TV, Apple Arcade, and Curated Apple Music Stations in Over 100 Countries Apple this week announced a new subscription initiative that turns paid iCloud+ subscriptions into a broader services bundle in more than 100 countries . In select countries, Apple says every paid iCloud+ plan, including the cheapest 50GB tier, now includes Apple TV and Apple Arcade at no additional cost, while family sharing extends the storage, TV and Arcade access to up to five people. The initiative does not include the U.S., Canada, Australia, nor is it offered in the UK and other European markets, but it is clearly more than a promotional offer, since Apple TV and Apple Arcade will stop being sold as individual subscriptions through Apple in countries where it has launched.

Gaurav Dhingra has worked on several significant films in different capacities, including Mangal Pandey (2005), Delhi-6 (2009), Angry Indian Goddesses (2015), Stolen (2025), etc. Now, he has founded Jungle Book Studios and is distributing Angh. Set in Nagaland in the 1960s, the Konyak-language film had its world premiere at the 51st annual Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) on September 15. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Gaurav Dhingra spoke to us from Toronto about Angh and a lot more. When asked about his future plans, Gaurav Dhingra replied, I want to work on mid-sized films, which have disappeared from our market like Gangs Of Wasseypur (2012), Shanghai (2012), Bareilly Ki Barfi (2017), etc. There was a phase last decade when such movies were doing great. Actors like Ayushmann Khurrana, Rajkummar Rao, etc dominated this zone. This space disappeared because TV channel revenue has fallen sharply. Today, satellite rights are sold for a mere Rs. 10 lakhs. 10 years ago, one could get crores of rupees for it. Gaurav further said, If a producer today makes a film in Rs. 30 crores, hell need to spend Rs. 10 crores on marketing. Hell then consider how much he can earn from the box office, satellite and digital. Only three players exist in the streaming space. Theres monopoly in music as well, while satellite revenue is negligible. Hence, its risky for a producer to make a mid-sized film in such a scenario and he has disappeared. So, its either a super-small-budget film being made or a big-budget venture. Meanwhile, the mid-sized films, which had content, entertainment, depth, music etc. is no longer being made. We want to target that segment. Of course, we wont spend Rs. 100 crores and instead invest Rs. 20 crores. We are trying to work in this model differently and have a few such projects. Years ago, Gaurav Dhingra worked on a film called Peddlers as a co-producer. It starred Gulshan Devaiah and Nimrat Kaur and was directed by Vasan Bala of Monica O My Darling (2022) and Jigra (2024) fame. Eros International, Anurag Kashyap and Guneet Monga were the film's producers. When asked about the status of this film and whether it can ever be released on OTT if not theatrically, Gaurav Dhingra sighed and said, If you know the team at Eros International, please call and ask them, Aap iss film pe kyun baithe hue ho 16 saal se?. We made it in 2010. He added, Hence, only they can answer. Hum toh dukhi ho gaye. Nevertheless, I thank the people who gave us such horrendous experiences. Thanks to those experiences, we stopped going to anybody for help. Aise gande experiences hue shuru mein ki humein realize ho gaya that we cant be dependent on anyone; we should do it ourselves. Hence, its good that it happened, as it taught us a lot.
