Here’s a new look at ‘Ant-Man and The Wasp’

If you were thinking you’d catch a glimpse of what happened post-Avengers: Infinity War, we’re sorry to disappoint you but Marvel’s next movie Ant-Man and the Wasp is set before the big throw down with Thanos. Our last sighting of Scott Lang a.k.a. Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) was when he went home to be with his family instead of teaming up with Captain America. But now Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) and his daughter Hope Van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly) need him back in the suit. But this time, he gets Hope in on the action as Wasp, Ant-Man’s long-time superhero partner in the comics. We get to see more high jinks ensue in both big and small ways in the new two-minute trailer. Ant-Man and the Wasp is set to hit theatres on July 6.

New Philips Hue Labs formulas help parents with young children

Philips Hue Labs have just released some new formulas or functionalities to help parents take care of their babies and toddlers. There are four different formulas you can try out. One is for nursery lights, which is a special light that can be used in the middle of the night when you’re breast feeding or changing your baby’s diapers. When this is activated, it’ll have the light start in a “relaxing dimmed scene” that will then transition into “nightlight scene” before it completely turns off automatically. You can choose how long these two scenes last. Another is using the Philips Hue motion sensor to measure temperature. You can set two alerting scenes to let you know if the temperature in your baby’s room is above or below the thresholds.

The two other formulas are designed more for toddlers. One is using the motion sensor to alert you if your kid gets out of bed in the middle of the night. You can choose how long this alerting scene stays on before it reverts to its previous state and how long it should be disabled so you can put them back to bed without triggering the alert again. Last formula is like a traffic light of sorts for kids. You can set two scenes that will teach your toddler whether it’s still time to stay in bed or when they’re allowed to get up and play.

K-Swiss partners with esports team The Immortals to design new sneakers

It might be a bit of an unusual collaboration but with esports teams looking for new revenue streams, this type of partnership makes sense. K-Swiss just announced its partnership with one of North America’s best-known esports teams The Immortals to create a custom pair of sneakers for the club. As expected, the shoe is more of a “lifestyle shoe” as the demands needed by professional gamers won’t be similar to those needed by, let’s say an NBA athlete. “E-sports is the new frontier of sports and entertainment, and this is another way for K-Swiss to contribute to culture in a progressive and modern way,” K-Swiss brand President Barney Waters said in a statement.

K-Swiss designers are said to be shadowing The Immortals players at the team’s LA training facility to custom design the shoes for them and this entire process will be documented for an upcoming video series. “K-Swiss designers will consider a professional gamer’s technical performance needs, such as the rising temperature in a shoe and movement of feet during a match,” the company explains. For fans of the team, the shoes will be available in December for US$110 (around CA$140).
