Review: 2017 Jaguar F-Pace

The 2017 Jaguar F-Pace is highly anticipated release – bringing Jaguar to the SUV market. At first glance, the design is quite sleek with the front end distinctly Jaguar. Performance-wise, it had no problem accelerating to our desired speed. Nothing’s more irritating than an underpowered vehicle for me. Let’s take a closer look at the 2017 Jaguar F-Pace.

David Bowie’s musical gets VR treatment

David Bowie’s Lazarus musical had a very short run in both New York and London. Now, if you find yourself in London at the end of the month, you’ll get to experience the show albeit in virtual reality. Lazarus will be part of the V&A Museum’s “From VHS to VR” exhibit in London. It’ll be part of the museum’s Performance Festival happening on April 30th. The VR experience will place you right into the recording of Lazarus during its King’s Cross Theatre run. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like the Lazarus VR experience will extend beyond that. But who knows? We’re keeping our fingers crossed.

An Alphabet company develops health-centric smartwatch

Google and Android Wear might be the public face of wearables for Alphabet. But there’s another Alphabet division working in the wearables space. The company called Verily announced its new smartwatch called Study Watch. It’ll serve as a regular watch to users but it has more functions beyond that. Verily’s main business is developing tools for doctors to collect patient data and that’s what the Study Watch does.

There are a number of sensors in the wearable that collects information such as a person’s heart rate, inertial movements, and electrodermal activity. This data will be collected and encrypted in the device itself for security purposes and will then be uploaded to Verily’s cloud servers for processing via machine learning. This watch can help identify patterns in things like the progression of Parkinson’s disease or give doctors a baseline level of health to see how a person goes from healthy to sick. Verily didn’t too much release information but they did say it could last a week on a single charge. But don’t expect this to come out and be sold to the general public.
