    Samsung's AI Robot Ball With a Projector Is Real and Ready to Roll in 2025
    Samsung's Balliemade waves at CES 2020 as a home robot concept that could one day roam your home. In 2024, Samsung brought it back to CES to share that it was giving the device a projector that can stream information and content onto different surfaces. At CES 2025 in Las Vegas, it's taking things a step further and announcing that it will actually ship the rolling robot this year in the US.We don't have the price or a release timeframe yet, but during one presentation, the theWall-E-like robot was able to share information about Las Vegas attractions, turn on lights and various smart home products by voice command and project the Uncharted movie onto a nearby wall.Asking Ballie to "make the screen bigger" had the circular robot turn around and find a different wall that it could project a larger image onto. The device has built-in speakers for sound.In addition to voice controls, Ballie also recognizes your "foot presses" onto a virtual button to complete a task, like saying OK or "show me more." An array of cameras and sensors makes this virtual interaction possible. After being presented two wines and being asked which would pair better with steak, Ballie was able to use your "foot presses" to ask follow-up questions and eventually provide a recommendation.Samsung isn't the first company to try to bring robots into the home. For the last couple of years Amazon has sold its Astro home robot that is powered by Alexa and can move around the home, ""="">but today it only is selling the $1,600 device by "exclusive invitations." LG has similarly showed off ambitions for home robotsat previous CES', but its unclear when or if those products will ever be available.Even Apple has been rumored to expand into the smart home, with a reportlast year suggesting that the company was looking into the space.More recent rumors have claimed that Apple might share more news about new smart home products as soon as March.

    Samsung's 2025 OLED TVs Reduce Glare, Probably Won't Reduce Price
    At CES 2025 the most popular TV maker in the world unveiled its latest batch of screens. And the order of the day is "glare-free."In my testing Samsung's reflection-reducing screen technology allowed the 2024S95D OLED TV to beat its long-standing rival from LG the best TV for picture quality. The S95D's matte screen finish did a great job of taming overhead lights and other reflections to improve bright-room fidelity, and while it did sacrifice some contrast, I thought it was worth it. Watch this: Samsung OLED and Neo QLED TVs Reduce Glare, Add More AI 03:54 In 2025 Samsung is going hard to the matte by adding that glare-free finish to its Neo QLED TVs in addition to its best 2025 OLED model. The bad news? The company decided to keep the standard, glossy screen on its other, less-expensive OLED TVs for 2025, namely the S85F and S90F. While Samsung hasn't announced pricing yet, I expect the new glare-free S95F OLED to cost roughly as much as the S95D. New for 2025 Samsung OLED TVs are available in an 83-inch size. James Martin/CNETSamsung says its glare-reducing technology is better than last year, and it has added an 83-inch size and a 165Hz refresh rate (which will only be useful for PC gamers, but otherwise it's seems similar to last year.OLED (S85F, S90F, S95F)Glare-free (matte) screen, S95F only165Hz refresh rate42 and 48-inch (S90F only), 55, 65, 77 and 83-inchThe non-OLED models, called Neo QLED by Samsung, use Mini-LED technology and come in both 8K and 4K varieties. As always I don't expect them to match the image quality of the OLED sets, but they'll likely be brighter and (in the non-8K series) generally less-expensive. The 70F is an edge-lit Mini-LED, the first I've seen, so I don't expect it to match the image quality of the high-end direct LED models. New for 2025 are triple-digit sizes including 115- and 100-inch models. Many of Samsung's Neo QLED TVs will go glare-free in 2025. James Martin/CNETNeo QLED 8K (QN990F and QN900F)Glare-free (matte) screen to reduce reflectionsWireless One Connect Box (8K at 120Hz, Wi-Fi 7), 990F onlySamsung Art Store65, 75, 85 inches, 98-inch in 990F onlyNeo QLED 4K (QN90F, QN80F, QN70F)Glare-free (matte) screen, 90F onlyFull-array local dimming, 80F and 90F onlySamsung Art Store165Hz refresh rate55, 65, 75, 85, 98 and 115-inch (90F only), 100-inch (80F only)Another improvement for this year is the addition of the Samsung Art Store to all of the Neo QLED TVs listed above. That feature, previously only available on Samsung's The Frame TVs, allows you to display free and purchased art on the TV screen. Samsung is also adding a bunch of AI-powered features to its 2025 TVs this year, as well as an AI button on the remote. Samsung's Art Store is coming to non-Frame TVs in 2025. James Martin/CNETSamsung's new OLED and Neo QLED TVs will ship later this year and pricing was not announced. We'll have more details then.

    Samsung OLED and Neo QLED TVs Reduce Glare, Add More AI video
    Samsung OLED and Neo QLED TVs Reduce Glare, Add More AI Jan 6, 2025 Tech The company also unveiled two concepts: a Holographic TV and a MicroLED mirror display that analyzes your face. Hey guys, Samsung is releasing a ton of new TVs in 2025. There's new glare-free models. There's new frame TVs. They're even stepping that art store down to all the other TVs. Lots of AI stuff too. We're going to check it all out starting now. So I'll start with my favorite innovation that Samsung has. It's called the Glare Free screen technology. It's not completely glare-free, but what it's designed to do is improve picture quality in bright rooms. So last year we tested this on their OLED TV. This year they're also using it on an OLED TV at the highest end, but they're also saying it's a little bit. this year, so we'll see that in the lab. The idea is that it takes reflections, reduces them, so they really don't distract, especially if you have bright stuff in the background of your room. It won't distract on the screen. So I really liked how it worked. They've improved it this year. That Glare Free tech is also available in 83 inch screen size, so Samsung is expanding the size of their OLED TVs this year. Also new for 2025 is a new Frame Pro. So Samsung's frame TVs are kind of like an art store in the TV. You turn them off and there's actually pictures, art on the wall. Look like a TV. This is the newest version of that. It actually has better picture quality than any other framed TV. It uses mini LEDs arranged around the edge. They say it uses local dimming as well, so all that to say, I think it's going to have better picture quality than any framed TV before. It'll also be a lot more expensive. And by the way, they're throwing a wireless box on this TV to connect your devices without running all those wires up to the back of the television. That's the frame Pro. So one more thing Samsung is doing with its art store is it's making it available on TVs that aren't the frame. If you buy a TV at the Q70 level and above this year, you'll be able to go in there and purchase paintings and other things from the art store, even if it's not a framed television, and of course display them and have it be that art that's not a TV show or a movie. So that's a new option available on Samsung TVs this year. Finally, Samsung is expanding its AI features to more TVs this year, so they've always had these AI picture enhancements that's still going to be there, but now they're adding a few other AI features. I'm not really convinced that they're going to be better than AI on the phone. But they are pretty TV specific. For example, one is called Click to Search, so it'll identify actors or things on the screen automatically using AI. If you press a button. There's also a feature for AI karaoke where you can use your phone as a microphone and it'll turn off the words just like regular karaoke. A few other AI features that they're adding, none of them are really going to move the needle, and a lot of them are similar to what you find on AI in your phones. We'll see how they perform later this year. Hey guys, so that's it for the TVs that are actually going to go on sale this year, but behind me you'll see some TV. That are concepts, so these aren't going to go on sale anytime soon, but they're still pretty cool. One of them is a hollow display. So this thing is essentially like a hologram. The images stick out from the TV. I walked around and they actually disappear when you move off center. When you go to an extreme angle, you can kind of see them pop right back out again. So it's a really cool effect in person. I don't know how well you can see it on the video here, but trust me, it's a neat hologram. Another one is a mirror display. It's a mirror micro LED. They're saying it's potentially something you could buy next. It's a concept for now. Imagine a mirror you put on your vanity and you can actually use it to scan your face, and it'll tell you what kind of skincare products you need and you can even use it to watch like a YouTube video while you're doing your skincare at the same time. Perfect for me. I totally use that all the time. And the third concept here is a transparent micro LED. Now Samsung released this last year, but this year they're showing even more applications for it. So there's some kind of things where you can see through the screen with like a frame in the background. There's the micro. LED transparent screen itself that's kind of a concept of how this works and again this is a completely see-through display not available for sale this year and probably not anytime soon, but it's a really cool concept of being able to see right through that screen and put whatever you want behind it. So that's a look at Samsung's 2025 TVs, both the ones that are shipping this year, and the concepts, bunch of TVs, a bunch of screens from the world's largest screen manufacturer, but that's you'd expect. I'm here at CES 2025. If you liked what you saw, be sure to like and subscribe.

    Apple opts everyone into having their Photos analyzed by AI
    Apple last year deployed a mechanism for identifying landmarks and places of interest in images stored in the Photos application on its customers iOS and macOS devices and enabled it by default, seemingly without explicit consent.Apple customers have only just begun to notice.The feature, known as Enhanced Visual Search, was called out last week by software developer Jeff Johnson, who expressed concern in two write-ups about Apple's failure to explain the technology, which is believed to have arrived with iOS 18.1 and macOS 15.1 on October 28, 2024.In a policy document dated November 18, 2024 (not indexed by the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine until December 28, 2024, the date of Johnson's initial article), Apple describes the feature thus:Enhanced Visual Search in Photos allows you to search for photos using landmarks or points of interest. Your device privately matches places in your photos to a global index Apple maintains on our servers. We apply homomorphic encryption and differential privacy, and use an OHTTP relay that hides [your] IP address. This prevents Apple from learning about the information in your photos. You can turn off Enhanced Visual Search at any time on your iOS or iPadOS device by going to Settings > Apps > Photos. On Mac, open Photos and go to Settings > General.Apple did explain the technology in a technical paper published on October 24, 2024, around the time that Enhanced Visual Search is believed to have debuted. A local machine-learning model analyzes photos to look for a "region of interest" that may depict a landmark. If the AI model finds a likely match, it calculates a vector embedding an array of numbers representing that portion of the image.The device then uses homomorphic encryption to scramble the embedding in such a way that it can be run through carefully designed algorithms that produce an equally encrypted output. The goal here being that the encrypted data can be sent to a remote system to analyze without whoever is operating that system from knowing the contents of that data; they just have the ability to perform computations on it, the result of which remain encrypted. The input and output are end-to-end encrypted, and not decrypted during the mathematical operations, or so it's claimed.The dimension and precision of the embedding is adjusted to reduce the high computational demands for this homomorphic encryption (presumably at the cost of labeling accuracy) "to meet the latency and cost requirements of large-scale production services." That is to say Apple wants to minimize its cloud compute cost and mobile device resource usage for this free feature.With some server optimization metadata and the help of Apple's private nearest neighbor search (PNNS), the relevant Apple server shard receives a homomorphically-encrypted embedding from the device, and performs the aforementioned encrypted computations on that data to find a landmark match from a database and return the result to the client device without providing identifying information to Apple nor its OHTTP partner Cloudflare.Thus, Apple unilaterally began running people's Photos through a locally running machine-learning algorithm that analyzes image details (on a purely visual basis, without using location data) and creates a value associated with what could be a landmark in each picture. That value is then used on a remote server to check an index of such values stored on Apple servers in order to label within each snap the landmarks and places found in Apple's database.Put more simply: You take a photo; your Mac or iThing locally outlines what it thinks is a landmark or place of interest in the snap; it homomorphically encrypts a representation of that portion of the image in a way that can be analyzed without being decrypted; it sends the encrypted data to a remote server to do that analysis, so that the landmark can be identified from a big database of places; and it receives the suggested location again in encrypted form that it alone can decipher.If it all works as claimed, and there are no side-channels or other leaks, Apple can't see what's in your photos, neither the image data nor the looked-up label.Apple claims that its use of this homomorphic encryption plus what's called differential privacy a way to protect the privacy of people whose data appears in a data set precludes potential privacy problems."Apple is being thoughtful about doing this in a (theoretically) privacy-preserving way, but I dont think the company is living up to its ideals here," observed software developer Michael Tsai in an analysis shared Wednesday. "Not only is it not opt-in, but you cant effectively opt out if it starts uploading metadata about your photos before you even use the search feature. It does this even if youve already opted out of uploading your photos to iCloud."Tsai argues Apple's approach is even less private than its abandoned CSAM scanning plan "because it applies to non-iCloud photos and uploads information about all photos, not just ones with suspicious neural hashes."Nonetheless, Tsai acknowledges Apple's claim that data processed in this way is encrypted and disassociated with the user's account and IP address.While there's no evidence at this point that contracts Apple's privacy assertions, the community concern has more to do with the way in which Apple deployed this technology."Its very frustrating when you learn about a service two days before New Years and you find that its already been enabled on your phone," said Matthew Green, associate professor of computer science at the Johns Hopkins Information Security Institute in the US.Apple gives fanbois The Sweetest Thing: A delete button for that U2 albumFLASHBACKThe Register asked Apple to comment, and as usual we've received no reply. We note that lack of communication is the essence of the community discontent."My objection to Apple's Enhanced Visual Search is not the technical details specifically, which are difficult for most users to evaluate, but rather the fact that Apple has taken the choice out of my hands and enabled the online service by default," said Johnson in his second post.He told The Register that it's unclear whether the data/metadata from your Photos library is uploaded before you even have a chance to disable the opt-out setting."I don't think anybody knows, and Apple hasn't said," Johnson observed.

    Kirin offers a taste of its electric salt spoon at CES 2025
    On the first night of CES 2025, Kirin Holdings, a Japanese company known for its beer and beverages, showed off its new electronic spoon that makes your food taste saltier. The company says its spoon uses a weak electric current to concentrate sodium ion molecules in your food, adding a stronger umami and salt flavor to low-sodium foods.A limited supply of the Electronic Salt Spoon went on sale in Japan in 2024 for roughly $127 in American dollars, but Kirin hopes to sell the device around the globe in the coming years. The company claims this device can noticeably increase the saltiness of your food, without adding any additional sodium.A crowd of people tried some soup using Kirins spoon at CES Unveiled in Las Vegas. TechCrunch did not try it ourselves, because theres something about a communal tech conference spoon that just isnt that appetizing. One of the biggest crowds on the first night of CES 2025 was people trying to taste Kirins new spoonWhile the spoon seems too good to be true, theres some convincing research behind it that suggests it may be legit. The product launch of Kirins spoon marked the first commercialization of technology that won the 2023 Ig Nobel prize, a satirical award for unusual scientific research. The researchers behind it first published their thesis in 2011, but have since made spoons, forks, and chopsticks that pass electric currents into food.Kirin says it created the spoon to help people consume less salt. This problem is especially relevant in Japan, where the countrys adult population eats more than double the World Health Organizations recommended intake.

    Withings Omnia is a full-size body-scanning health mirror
    The Omnia is still very much in concept mode a phenomenon popular in the automotive world that has since spilled over into consumer electronics. That is to say that Withings splashiest product of CES 2025 may never be a product. Among other things, a body-scanning smart mirror would likely be cost prohibitive for consumers.According to Withings, Omnia is not just a product its a transformative experience that reimagines digital health possibilities. Certainly the notion of a daily full-body health scan is appealing to many potential customers. It does, however, come on the heels of a decade of failed smart mirror projects.The conceptual product would offer 360-degree body scans, offering up user insight into weight, along with heart and lung health. Other metrics like sleep, activity, and nutrition would presumably come from a connected wearable.The mirror itself would be interactive via touch, coupled with the inclusion of a voice assistant. The Omnia could also serve as a telemedicine portal to healthcare professions, who would gain access to user metrics and offer advice accordingly.Withings says the system is currently in development, pending things like clinical reviews and additional AI features. It does add, however, that some of the above features will be available in some form via the Withings app at some point later in 2025.

    Samsungs new TVs can find recipes for dishes in shows
    Have you ever watched a food scene on TV and thought, wow, I wish I could cook that at home? Maybe it was the il timpano in Big Night, or the beef bourguignon in Julie & Julia. Whatever your show-inspired craving, youre in luck if you buy a 2025 Samsung TV, that is.During its CES 2025 press conference in Las Vegas on Monday, Samsung announced Samsung Food, a new feature on its TVs that leverages the companys AI processor to recognize food on your screen and find a recipe for it.If Samsung Food sounds familiar, thats probably because the brand has been around a while. Samsung bought the food app Whisk in 2019, and rebranded it to Samsung Food in 2023. Today, the Samsung Food app for iOS and Android, which offers tools like a meal planner and AI-guided cooking steps, can also suggest recipes based on a picture if you fork over $7 per month for the premium version.The Samsung Food experience built for TV is a bit more limited in what it can do, unsurprisingly. But in addition to recommending recipes based on what it sees, Samsung Food on TV can show the progress of grocery and takeout deliveries you place through the Samsung Food mobile app. In a press release, Samsung calls out the apps ability to build a shopping list for ingredients based on whats in your fridge. Its truly the ultimate AI sous chef, the company boldly proclaims. Samsung Foods screen-to-recipe tool is intriguing. But well have to see if it lives up to the marketing hype. Recipe app SideChefs AI tool to turn photos into recipes leaves something to be desired, and popular AI summarizers and chatbots like ChatGPT dont perform much better. (Glue pizza, anyone?)Then theres the fact that AI wont do the actual cooking for you. As someone whos too lazy to meal prep these days, much less cook an as-seen-on-TV dish, thats probably a dealbreaker. But if baking the kouign amann from The Great British Bake Off floats your boat, these may just be the TVs for you.Youll find Samsung Food on Samsungs upcoming QN90F, QN80F, and QN70F models.
