Get ready for Detective Pikachu out 23rd March for the 3DS

It’s time for some serious sleuthing, as the new Detective Pikachu: Get ready to crack the case! trailer for Detective Pikachu shows off new characters and gameplay footage for the upcoming game, which launches on 23rd March.

• Trouble in Ryme City!: Ryme City is a place where people and Pokémon live together. But recently, many friendly Pokémon are going on a rampage for no reason. While Detective Pikachu and his friend Tim search for Tim’s father, Harry, they unwittingly stumble into the mysterious case of the rampaging Pokémon. Can they solve the mystery and also find Tim’s father?


• The Mysterious Mewtwo: While many different Pokémon appear in Detective Pikachu, the one who seems to hold the biggest connection to the overall mystery is Mewtwo. How is Mewtwo connected to everything? And why does Mewtwo know Detective Pikachu?
• A Colourful Cast of Characters: Many charming characters roam the streets of Ryme City. These include Pablo Millan, owner of Detective Pikachu’s favourite café; Frank Holliday, an inspector at the Ryme City Police Department; and Meiko Okamoto, a camera operator for the local TV studio. Meeting and interrogating all of these characters throughout the game is part of the fun.

Fans may know and love Pikachu as one of their favourite Pokémon, but in Detective Pikachu they should be prepared for something a little bit different from the familiar! With his trademark detective’s hat, his gruff but loveable demeanour and his dry sense of humour, Detective Pikachu is a distinctive new character with a personality all his own and a firm resolve to get to the bottom of the mysterious goings-on in Ryme City.

An out-of-the-ordinary character like this naturally deserves an amiibo that’s a little bit different from the norm too, and the Detective Pikachu amiibo figure that’s also launching on 23rd March is noticeable not just for its cute and colourful appearance but for the fact that it’s considerably larger than a regular amiibo This sizeable amiibo can unlock cutscenes if tapped in the Detective Pikachu game, revealing a load of hilarious content that might also provide some useful hints. This same content can be accessed in the game without the amiibo, but tapping the amiibo will allow players to unlock the content more quickly.

Huawei unveils first car to be driven by AI-Powered smartphone

Huawei, has become the first mobile device manufacturer in the world to use an AI-powered smartphone to drive a car. The ‘RoadReader’ project pushes the boundaries of Huawei’s object recognition technology and puts the learning capabilities, speed and performance of its AI-powered devices to the test.

Unlike other driverless cars, which simply detect obstacles Huawei has transformed a Porsche Panamera into a driverless vehicle that doesn’t just see, but crucially, understands its surroundings. This means that can it can distinguish between 1,000s of different objects including a cat and a dog, a ball or a bike and learn to take the most appropriate course of action.

Huawei’s ‘RoadReader’ project is taking advantage of the AI capabilities already in the Huawei Mate 10 Pro. The device uses AI to automatically recognise objects like cats, dogs, food, and other objects, to help people take pictures like a pro.

Most autonomous cars currently being developed rely on the computing power of purpose-built chips developed by third party technology providers. However, as part of its ongoing mission to make the impossible possible, Huawei has used technology already available in its smartphones, demonstrating its superior functionality and ability to stand up to even the most advanced technology developed for use in self-driving cars.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBGRRx-aSpU&feature=youtu.be

“Our smartphone is already outstanding at object recognition. We wanted to see if in a short space of time we could teach it to not only drive a car, but to use its AI capabilities to see certain objects, and be taught to avoid them” said Andrew Garrihy, Chief Marketing Officer, Huawei Western Europe. “If our technology is intelligent enough to achieve this in just 5 weeks – what else can it make possible?”

Hive announces Hive actions to make your home even smarter for you

Today Hive has introduced new and improved Hive Actions, a feature that allows customers to connect their Hive devices via the Hive app so they work seamlessly together.

 

Hive Actions are designed to make daily living a little easier and more efficient. For example, customers can enjoy the perfect welcome home by setting up their Hive Active Heating and Hive Lights to come on as their Hive Sensor registers that they’ve walked in the door.  Following customer feedback, Hive users can now also set their Actions to time in with sunrise and sunset hours.  This means a Hive Light can be programmed to turn on when it’s dark outside and when the Hive View camera detects someone entering a room.

With over 50 pre-set Actions to choose from, enabling quick and simple setups, and the ability to curate their own, Hive customers can now bring their homes to life like never before at no extra cost. The Hive app now also allows users to create Quick Actions, shortcuts to the Actions and features that are used the most. These sit on the app home screen, making the process of managing the home even faster and more intuitive. In a rush to leave the house in the morning?

Now you can now turn off their lights, heating and appliances with just one tap on the app, helping you save time and energy.

What we created 10 years ago, we feel is still fun and unique to this day in the gaming industry,” said Matt Webster, General Manager at Criterion Games. “Burnout Paradise is an arcade racer built to provide players the thrill of racing with their friends, in a free-form way that was both seamless and immersive, but also a little crazy with all the different stunts and crashes players could pull off. With the release of this remaster, we’re able to share this action-packed ride with a whole new generation of players.”
