Samsung unveils Odyssey 3D gaming monitor with glasses-free 3D experience
'The Odyssey 3D represents Samsung's commitment to pushing the boundaries of display innovation, offering gamers a smarter, sharper, and crosstalk-free 3D experience while maintaining top-tier performance for 2D content. This groundbreaking monitor not only redefines immersive gaming but also solidifies Samsung's leadership in the gaming monitor market,' the company said in its official release.
For the monitor's 3D content, Samsung is making use of three core technologies: eye-tracking, view mapping, and a lenticular lens. But how does it work?
Firstly, the eye-tracking technology uses two stereo cameras at the top of the monitor to detect and track the user's real-time eye movement. These cameras then capture images in real time to gauge the distance between the user's eyes and the monitor. This technology is able to capture the user's eyes even if they are wearing glasses.
Based on these images, the monitor calculates an accurate pixel positioning and delivers a 3D image using view mapping. Then, the final images are separately delivered to each eye through the Odyssey 3D's lenticular lens, using light refraction. This feature is functional even in case of user movement, as the monitor readjusts itself. The lenticular lens activates only when the user enables 3D mode from the Odyssey 3D Hub.
Odyssey 3D is not just about its 3D feature, it also comes with some performance enhancements. It comes with a 165 Hz refresh rate, alongside a 1 ms response time. The monitor is also NVIDIA G-Sync compatible, providing the user a faster, smoother gaming experience.
In order to prevent 'crosstalk', or misaligned images causing visual discomfort, Samsung has used post-assembly calibration, hardware-specific data storage, and a deep learning-based eye-tracking algorithm. The monitor also has a specially engineered display cell coating, which reduces light distortion and glare to further enhance image clarity.

One Tech Tip: This summer, dont let your phone overheat
LONDON (AP) — The summer holidays are here and many of us will heading off on trips to hot and sunny destinations, and bringing our electronic devices along. But don't forget that phones, tablets and other electronics are vulnerable to extreme heat. Southern European nations like Spain, Italy and Greece have been baking under the sun, while forecasters have consistently issued heat advisories across the United States, particularly in the Southeast. Here's what device makers and experts say on keeping your electronics cool: Most electronic devices work best in a specific temperature range. Apple says iPhones and iPads are designed to be used in temperatures between 32-95 degrees Fahrenheit (0-35 degrees Celsius). A device might change its behavior to deal with extreme temperatures, Apple warns. 'Using an iOS or iPadOS device in very hot conditions can permanently shorten battery life.' Your phone might temporarily warm up if you're charging wirelessly, downloading big files, streaming high-quality video or doing anything else that requires lots of power or data. Samsung says that's normal and it won't affect the performance or battery lifespan. If your phone gets so hot that it becomes uncomfortable to hold, Samsung recommends that you stop using it. An overheating iPhone will alert users with a warning message that it needs to cool down before it can be used. Android devices will display a similar message, telling user that the screen will dim, apps will be closed and charging will be paused. There are things you can do to protect your device from high heat. Don't leave it in a car on hot day and don't leave it in direct sunlight for long. Apple also warns against using some features when it's very hot or in direct sunlight for long periods, like GPS navigation when driving, playing a graphics-heavy video game or using the camera. Google, which makes Pixel Android phones, advises users not to use resource-intensive features or apps while charging. The best thing you can do in extreme heat is turn off your device completely. 'Even background processes can generate heat,' say experts at British electronics chain Curry's. 'A full shutdown helps it cool faster.' Remove the case, if your phone or tablet has one, because they can trap heat. Also keep it out of direct sunlight and put it somewhere cool, like an air-conditioned room or in front of a fan. But be careful about putting it in cool places. 'Never put your device in the fridge or freezer, as condensation can cause water damage,' Curry's says.

Samsung expands One UI 8 beta to Galaxy S24 series, Z Fold 6, Flip 6, more
Samsung is widening the rollout of its Android 16-based One UI 8 beta to more Galaxy smartphones. According to a report from 9To5Google, the beta build is now reaching Galaxy S24 series smartphones as well as the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6. This follows Samsung's earlier confirmation that the One UI 8 beta would extend to more smartphones later in August, with a stable release planned for eligible models in September. One UI 8 beta expands to more Galaxy devices Samsung first introduced One UI 8 alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 7, Flip 7 and Flip 7 FE last month, with the beta initially available for the Galaxy S25 lineup. Now, the rollout has been spotted on the Galaxy S24 range and Samsung Galaxy Z-series foldable models from 2024. As per Samsung's official announcement earlier this month, the One UI 8 beta is scheduled for the following devices: Galaxy S24 Galaxy S24+x' Galaxy S24 Ultra Galaxy Z Flip 6 Galaxy Z Fold 6 Galaxy S23 Galaxy S23+ Galaxy S23 Ultra Galaxy Z Flip 5 Galaxy Z Fold 5 Galaxy A36 Galaxy A55 Galaxy A35 Galaxy A54 It should also be noted that One UI 8 beta availability will be region-specific, initially limited to Korea, the US, the UK, and India. Samsung One UI 8: What is new The latest One UI version brings Knox Enhanced Encrypted Protection (KEEP), a new privacy safeguard for on-device AI processes. KEEP creates encrypted, app-specific storage zones so each app can only access its own sensitive data, boosting both privacy and data isolation. Knox Matrix has also been updated to better secure connected devices. If a device is marked as high-risk, it will automatically log out of the linked Samsung Account. In addition to security upgrades, One UI 8 enhances Galaxy AI features for foldables. On Galaxy Z Fold models, people get tools like side-by-side editing, show original, suggest erases, Photo Assist, Generative Edit, AI results view, and drag-and-drop AI content. For flip-style foldables, Galaxy AI is optimised for the FlexWindow cover display. Gemini Live brings Google's conversational AI directly to the small screen, while Now Bar and Now Brief provide context-based prompts and summaries. Photography also gets a boost with real-time filters, a zoom slider, and dual preview support on the FlexWindow.
