Hands-on: Nintendo Switch Is (Unofficially) Getting An Android Port
The Nintendo Switch was blown wide open to custom development last year due to a flaw in its Tegra X1 SoC. The latest development for the Switch is a full-blown Android port. This software is based on LineageOS 15.1 (Android 8.1 Oreo) for the NVIDIA SHIELD Android TV.
KIST Engineers Design New Glove Allows Users to ‘Feel’ Objects in VR
Engineers at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) have developed a new type of VR glove that enables users to ‘feel’ objects in the virtual world through tactile feedback. Most all VR gloves on the market let people touch VR objects via vibrations or haptic feedback, and while they are better than nothing, they kind of limit the experience, like using a PS4 controller over time and having that feeling fade after prolonged use.
Revealing the Hidden Beauty of Common Components
As we’ve remarked in these pages before, oftentimes some of the best engineering around is invisible, hidden inside black boxes of one sort or the other. If the black box is sufficiently important in some way, professional forensic and reverse engineers can be employed to crack it open and reveal its secrets. But what about more humble items, such as the apparently unremarkable components that make up everyday electronics? Who cares enough to take the trouble to look inside them?

ThinkTiny Is a Micro ThinkPad-Inspired Notebook
In the world of notebook computers, one of the most iconic designs is the ThinkPad by IBM/Lenovo. These ‘ThinkTanks’ have a reputation for being reliable, but they tend to prioritize usability over being extremely small. Not so with the ‘ThinkTiny’ by Paul Klinger. His device can sit comfortably between the fingerprint ID and the ThinkPad logo on the real thing’s keyboard panel.

This Wristwatch Has Some of the Tiniest Freeform Circuitry We’ve Seen
Wristwatches these days mostly come in two varieties: smartwatches that are basically just smartphones with a strap, and expensive fashion watches intended to be stylish. If you’re interested in the latter, you’re probably out of luck unless your style is either “mob boss” or “CEO with something to prove.” Mile’s Skeleton Watch, on the other hand, is a freeform circuit sculpture that is totally geek chic.
