Wheelchairs and mobile robots are useful (and sometimes necessary) tools for those who need them but because of the way their wheels are built, there are a lot of limitations as to where they can go.

Metal is more than a music genre. It’s a way of life. It’s an identity. It’s who you are turned up to eleven. And sure, your battle jacket and boots say “break the rules,” loud and proud, but there’s another oft-forgotten weapon in your rebel’s armory: your smell. A fragrance can be just as hard-hitting as the most face-melting riff and linger long after the gig’s over and the PA’s been switched off. An oud perfume , for example: deep, dark, uncompromising, esoteric - sounds (or smells) a lot like metal, doesn't it? Here’s how to find a scent that’s as hardcore as you are.

Mixed reality and spatial computing are trying to bridge that gap, but they still project flat virtual objects in the real world and, more importantly, require wearing goggles or headsets. In fact, most stereoscopic 3D experiences require some sort of eyewear, at the very least glasses that guide images to the correct eye. That is until monitor makers have gotten smarter and have started to implement 3D displays that don’t need glasses to work, like the new Samsung Odyssey 3D shown off at Gamescom 2024 this week.
