Bluetooth audio may finally stop settling for good enough.

I keep wired headphones in my bag just for the moments when I actually care how a song sounds. That says a lot about how I feel about Bluetooth audio. Wireless trades sound quality for convenience, but Bluetooth might finally fix that.

The Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) has formally announced Bluetooth High Data Throughput (HDT). It is a new optional feature that lets Bluetooth carry far more data than before, which could translate into better wireless audio (via Bluetooth SIG).

Apple Watch learned new hand gestures in just a minute. It’s the most exciting wearable research I’ve seen in years.
The broad idea behind TransfHAR is to have the smartwatch learn repetitive movements and then remember them, and subsequently take linked actions. Sounds like a dream for smart home automation, and a lot more!

Apple brought gesture support to its smartwatches not too long ago. The capabilities, however, are pretty limited. Right now, the smartwatch can only recognize a two-finger tap gesture and a wrist flick gesture. But it seems the smartwatch already has the right set of sensors to recognize and learn a much wider variety of hand gestures, and doing so wouldn’t require any monumental effort.

Researchers from Northwestern University and Carnegie Mellon University have developed a system called TransfHAR that uses the motion sensors inside the Apple Watch, the accelerometer and the gyroscope, to learn and identipfy activities based on the movement of your hands and wrist. Imagine your Apple Watch triggers an action by recognizing your hand motion, without any touch input or voice command. Yeah, that's the core premise here.

The rollout comes after the US FDA cleared the feature in July, and Korea’s Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) gave it the green light as well. Samsung also gets bragging rights here, as it is the first company to bring sleep apnea risk detection to a smart ring.
