League of Legends is testing a new WASD control scheme, 16 years in
Riot Games is going to slowly introduce a WASD-based control scheme to League of Legends, which previously relied on point and click controls. 'We believe that offering WASD controls will provide a fresh yet familiar way to play for both new players and veterans of the Rift without changing what makes League, League,' Riot says. The company notes that WASD is 'the most familiar control scheme for PC games today,' and by adding it as a control option, 'we believe League will feel more intuitive to some players who come from other games.' However, Riot is also working to 'ensure competitive balance' between the two different control styles, so it's going to start with a test of the control scheme on League's public beta environment before slowly rolling it out to non-ranked and eventually ranked and pro play. League of Legends launched nearly 16 years ago, and while it's a hugely popular game, it has a reputation for being pretty intimidating to get into. Despite having watched many hours of competitive League, whenever I've tried to play it myself, I've quickly bounced because of its complexity. WASD controls could lower the barrier to entry, and Riot says that they are 'the first of a number of long-term projects we're working on to help shape League's future.'

School adds AI gun detection security upgrade
WILLIAMSPORT, LYCOMING COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — Williamsport Area School District (WASD) is gaining a new layer of security with an advanced AI-based gun detection system. ZeroEyes is an AI-driven gun detection video analytics platform that provides real-time threat detection and response. WASD says ZeroEyes will integrate seamlessly with their existing security infrastructure. 'The addition of ZeroEyes' advanced technology provides us with an additional level of preparedness and security and will allow us to respond swiftly and effectively to potential threats,' said Superintendent Dr. Timothy S. Bowers. 'This addition reinforces our commitment to continue investing our resources to create an even safer and more secure learning environment for our students and staff.' ZeroEyes' AI gun detection and intelligent situational awareness software layers on top of WASD's existing digital security camera system. If a gun is identified, images are shared with the ZeroEyes Operation Center, staffed 24/7 by military and law enforcement veterans. Those experts will then determine if the threat is valid and dispatch alerts to first responders. 'It's always inspiring to see communities and school districts in our backyard sodedicated to the mission of saving lives,' said Mike Lahiff, CEO and co-founder of ZeroEyes.'The Williamsport Area School District's unwavering commitment to safeguarding its studentsand staff is truly meritorious.'
