Muse 2 personal meditation assistant 
Muse by Interaxon Inc., a consumer neurotech company and the creator of Muse, the brain sensing headband, has announced the release of Muse 2, a revolutionary device that functions as a personal meditation assistant. The device is designed to provide real-time feedback on brain activity, body movement, breathing patterns and heart rate during meditation. It uses built-in bio-signal, inertial, and heart sensors to create real-time audio experiences in four key areas to help users find focused calm, improve posture, and increase breath and heart awareness. With the companion app, Muse 2 will translate the internal state of the meditator into immersive soundscapes to provide subtle guidance during meditation.
Samsung’s foldable Smartphone 
In what is heralded as the future for portable devices, Samsung introduced its upcoming foldable device at a recent annual developer’s conference. Samsung announced that its new device will have a folding screen that lets Smartphone open into tablet. It uses a new display technology called ‘Infinity Flex Display’, in which the user can open and close the device over and over, without any degradation. The foldable phone can run up to three apps at the same time, which Samsung calls Multi Active Window. The company aims to have battery life that lasts as long as current Galaxy Smartphone. The Cover Display, when the device is closed, is 4.58 inches and has a resolution of 840×1960, with a screen density of 420 dpi.
Transparent window coating to lessen load on air conditioners
A transparent film applied to office windows has been found to significantly reduce incoming solar heat. A team of engineers have created a see-through coating for windows that’s reported to reflect up to 70 percent of heat coming in from the sun. The team estimates that its heat-rejecting film could reduce a building’s air conditioning (and energy) costs by as much as 10 percent if all exterior-facing windows were coated with the film. With micro particles embedded within, the film remains pretty much see-through up to temperatures of 32° C (89° F), but anything above that will result in the phase-changing material shrinking to give the film a frosted glass look, limiting the amount of heat allowed through.
