Facebook reportedly meets with Samsung for virtual reality

A report surfaced that Facebook and Samsung recently met up in South Korea. But before you think about whether Facebook is looking to develop another smartphone, it looks like they would rather focus on a new product segment. The two tech giants are reportedly talking about virtual reality technology. As you know, Oculus VR is owned by Facebook and it looks like they are helping Samsung develop its Gear VR headset. Samsung is said to launch the Gear VR in December. We have to wait and see if the Gear VR would bring Samsung the success it has brought them in the tablet and smartphone market.

MultiCam brings Lytro-like effects to iOS

MultiCam app for iOS 8 is bringing what Lytro has been doing with its cameras for a while: the ability to shoot now and focus later. What MultiCam does is it lets you choose focus points (up to 15) and exposure levels (up to four) for each photo. After you set that, tap the shutter and hold the device steady. It will take a series of shots with different exposures. You can see the image in the app’s gallery and adjust the exposure and focus there. You can then save that to your iPhone gallery. Make sure you delete it from MultiCam though because that’ll eat up storage.
