A new friday update with tech and media news from the last week. Made for clients and colleagues, but everyone can read along. We talk about it at breakfast.


Google will use machine learning capabilities to select the most representative 6 seconds and give the user a silent preview on video-searches. Currently only on Chrome and Android.


There is a price-battle within the VR headset business. Both HTC and Facebook have slashed the prices of the Vive and Oculus headsets. Might result in a larger mass-market.


Oculus have patented glasses, that basically looks like a pair of regular glasses that can “augment views of a physical, real-world environment with computer-generated elements.”


Amazon created an AI for spotting fashion trends and from that, develop new designs for the Amazon apparel brands. Are they going to take over the world?





A student from Oxford University did a research paper with the useful and youthful title: “HOW TO CREATE VIDEO NEWS THAT ROCKS IN SOCIAL MEDIA”

Thanks and enjoy your weekend.
