PlayStation Trophies on PC: A new possibility?

Sony

Data miners have discovered hints that PlayStation trophies might make their way to the PC in the future. These trophies are a way for Sony gamers to track their achievements on the console. Crossplay is becoming a bigger part of the gaming landscape, and Microsoft extended crossovers to its achievement system. Sony might want to offer something similar for its users.

The first hint is when Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered added PSN support for the PC. Modders discovered that support could be extended to all PlayStation Studios games. After that, a scanner discovered a new trophy list with the platform category "PSPC." It isn't attached to a specific game, but it looks like a test list of some sort. Digging into it showed that PSPC is separate from PS5, but there might be some form of integration there. For now, these are all just rumours.

Adobe’s new dress can change colours and patterns on demand

Adobe

Adobe is known for its cutting-edge software for creative professionals, but it also has some secret projects in the works. At the 2023 Adobe MAX conference, it revealed one of them: a dress that can change its appearance in real time. The dress looked normal at first, but then it turned from matte white to reflective, and different parts of it changed colours and patterns. The dress, called Project Primrose, uses special "Reflective Light-Diffuser Modules" that create flexible and non-emissive display systems.

Project Primrose is not a product, but a proof of concept. It shows a new way to preview and prototype designs and patterns almost instantaneously. The dress can display any content created with Adobe software, such as Firefly, After Effects, Stock, and Illustrator. Adobe says that this technology can be applied to other surfaces, such as furniture, bags, and more. This would allow designers to experiment with endless styles and let users download and "wear" the latest designs.
