What makes it different is that it’s made in collaboration with Noctua and comes with Noctua’s fans.Editor's note: This was originally published on May 19, 2025 as a video. This content has been adapted to written format for this article and is unchanged from the original publication.CreditsHost, WritingSteve BurkeCamera, Video EditingMike GaglioneVitalii MakhnovetsWriting, Web EditingJimmy ThangThis is an interesting case because the Flux Pro was already a thermal chart topper and now the company is adding very expensive, but very high performing fans to it. We’re looking forward to testing it. In terms of changes Antec has made, besides changing the fans, they’ve added the word Noctua to it. The panel covering is also different. Antec tells us that the steel brown paneling on the case was difficult to match with Noctua’s brown hue. In general, we’ve heard that color matching for manufacturing is apparently very hard. Pretty much every factory we’ve been to has told us this. Antec told us it spent over a month trying to get the correct brown to make Noctua happy with how the color came out. It sounds like everyone is happy with the end result. Internally, the brown rubber grommets were apparently more difficult than the steel panels to be the correct shade of brown. You can’t use the same mixture between the 2 materials. The top of the power supply shroud is another steel component that is also brown. They are removable mesh inserts, which we talked about in our review of the Flux Pro. Other than the fans and color difference, the tooling of the case is the same.Noctua is also probably going to include the fan hub pictured above. There’s no ARGB support, which makes sense given their fans don’t have RGB LEDs. It’s simply an 8 PWM fan connector. The PCB has SATA power on one side. The case itself will ship with 6 fans, which is the same amount of fans that the original Flux Pro offered.    The case is the same size and layout as the original Flux Pro and has 2x120mm fans on the bottom (the original featured reverse blade fans on the bottom). The fans used here are the NF-A12 G2s, which are new fans. The rest of the case uses NF A14 G2 fans. This includes 3 of them in the front and 1 in the back. The G2 model we talked about in our NH-D15 G2 review has its fans slightly offset the RPM intentionally to try and avoid beat-frequency phenomenon and such that will create an undesirable noise. Looking at the back side panel of the case, the unit we saw had extension cables for its fans, which Noctua may also use, but that’s not certain at the moment given the build we saw is early. They’re pretty nice and we use them in our test benches. The case is essentially the same case we liked but with fans that should perform a little better or at least roughly the same with a different RPM. The price is currently TBD. The original Flux Pro is about $180 with its 6 fans. The Noctua case, however, comes with roughly $200 worth of Noctua fans. Doing the math, it seemingly adds up to a case amounting to around high $300s or $400s, we think. The case will be sold by Noctua and they are targeting a Q4 release date. The case is also supposed to include a tiny Noctua keychain. (New) Antec 900 Grab a GN15 Large Anti-Static Modmat to celebrate our 15th Anniversary and for a high-quality PC building work surface.

(or consider a direct donation or a Patreon contribution!)Antec is also bringing back the Antec 900, which originally came out way back in 2006. We know a lot of people in our audience had it.  There were 2 versions of the Antec 900. The 2006 model is the one most people probably remember. It was a very different time and the case was very well liked. If they launched it today, however, it wouldn’t work. Cable management back then didn’t exist as it wasn’t really a thing yet. It did get the thermal side right as they went with larger fans and it was heavily ventilated. So the company is trying to bring that back with a TBD named Antec 900 model. The case has a lot of aluminum in it. The model at Computex also came with Noctua fans, but they’re not brown. Specifically, the case featured Noctua’s black NF-A20s, which are fans we’ve reviewed and benchmarked. They did pretty well in our testing. Antec told us it will also provide a 6-fan variant of the case with the same fans used in the original Flux Pro, which is pictured above. Antec sort of disappeared for several years in the mid 2010s and then came back with the Antec C8 (read our review), in particular, and has re-emerged on our radar. This new version of the 900 is pretty different from the old one, which is a good thing at this point. The old one was a great case but isn't anymore. There’s going to be 2 versions of the case. 1 will come with dual 200 mm fans, potentially using Noctua ones. Pricing on the case is still TBD. We imagine one with Noctua fans will cost at least $300 or so and we don’t have pricing on the model that will come with 6 fans. The case will have fan rails for its front fans. The fan rails can be offset to different locations via a couple screws. The case we saw was set up for 200mm fans but they can also be moved to accommodate 180mm, 140mm, and 120mm fans. Looking at the top panel, it uses massive holes in its design coupled with a dust filter. In some ways, this is traditional. The upside is that the actual panel itself isn’t doing a whole lot other than just providing the structure, which means it’s not really getting in the way of airflow because of how huge the holes are. It’s really going to come down to the dust filter for how much air can get through. If you’re going to use the top panel for exhaust, we would recommend pulling the dust filter off because it’s not stopping a whole lot of dust. One other thing we wanted to point out is an inner plastic on the filter as it actually ends up completely obstructing the outermost row of holes. Antec has got to cover something to get it in there and we guess that they covered the outer row on all sides to create a symmetry aesthetic. This does make it lose a little bit of accessibility. Looking at the top of the case with the filter removed, you can see that there’s partial obstruction for motherboard clearance. The top of the case can accommodate 120 or 140mm fans. The top tray is held together by a couple of removable screws, which allow you to pull it out.   Removing the glass side panel, which is a gigantic piece of glass, gives us a better look at the inside of the case and exposes the region for the possible shroud top fans. Fortunately, Antec has ventilated the bottom side panel, which is good. There’s no filter included on it so it’s just a mesh panel. Antec has also punched a bunch of holes into the bottom of the case. So if the case uses shroud top fans, they should be able to breathe.  Visit our Patreon page to contribute a few dollars toward this website's operation (or consider a direct donation or buying something from our GN Store!) Additionally, when you purchase through links to retailers on our site, we may earn a small affiliate commission.Another thing we liked is that the dust filter is accessible and pulls out from the front. This is nice so you don’t have to pull the case away from a wall to remove it. The case also has big rubber standoffs for the power supply to sit on top of. It also has the iSHIFT PSU mount, which is also seen in Antec’s Flux series of cases.   For drives, it has 2 SSD mounts on top of the shroud and 3 on the back side of the case. The “cheese grater” of holes that you see in the image above means that it’s BTF compatible. The case also has 2 sets of grommets, which we like as it accommodates larger motherboards in case the board covers the first set of grommets. The back panel is also humongous and is perforated on the bottom, which is a good thing for breathability if there’s a shroud top fan. Our understanding is that in the 6-fan model, Antec wants to do the same exact configuration as in the Flux Pro. This means 2x120mm (probably reverse blade) on the shroud top and 4x140mm fans. The frame is aluminum and the motherboard tray is steel, which we think is .8 millimeters thick. Aluminum is very expensive. Sometimes case companies use it to employ a “premium” feel to cases. The plus side is that it makes the case a little lighter but will also make it more expensive. Currently, there are also additional tariffs on aluminum imports into the US, which could affect pricing even further. The case will be over $300. We’ll find out more probably towards the end of the year.  The last feature worth pointing out is that the front top panel with the front IO pops out. This provides access to the top, which is good for open-loop access and getting a radiator in and out.

The Mumbai-based firm (previously) conceived of a sanctuary called “Maativan,” cradled by trees in a feat of biophilic design, which is constructed from natural materials to create a synergy between interior and exterior experiences. Undulating beamed ceilings, open-air spaces, an organic layout, and plenty of ventilation allow for ample natural light, airflow, and heat control. With sustainability at the forefront of its mission, Blurring Boundaries incorporated mud, lime, bamboo, stone, wood, recycled bottles, wheels, glass, and other repurposed substances into the home’s framework. “Maativan’s commitment to sustainability, cultural authenticity, and ecological responsibility is evident in every aspect of its construction and operation, making it a true sanctuary for those seeking a deeper connection with the natural world,” the studio says.

Tucked behind an old tree in the heart of Gurugram, India, the Maurpankhi residence is a seamless interplay of architecture and nature. Designed by House & Beyond, led by architect Pushpender Arora, the 3230-square-foot bungalow is a place for the family to unwind, reflect, and reconnect. Conceived as a sanctuary for a family immersed in the intensity of corporate life, Maurpankhi was envisioned from the beginning as an emotional refuge. Rather than relying on ornate details or ostentatious luxury, the home finds its essence in openness, warmth, and a quiet dialogue with the outdoors. From the moment one steps inside, it’s evident that natural elements are the guiding force. An age-old tree marks the entrance – not simply preserved but celebrated, embraced by a curved zinc wall that both protects and frames it. This weathering metal facade will mature over time, developing a patina that reflects the ever-evolving story of the home and the family there. ”We chose zinc for its robust nature, timeless aesthetic, and unique weathering process – it galvanizes beautifully, much like the memories this home will hold,” Arora shares. The design weaves courtyards into the overall layout, allowing daylight and breezes to fill the interiors. These open-air pockets bring greenery indoors and become an active part of the family’s life, ushering in calm and offering views that change with the seasons. The home’s ground level offers an organic flow between social and private spaces. The absence of rigid walls between living, dining, and kitchen areas fosters connectivity without sacrificing function. Strategically placed furniture shapes the spatial experience, allowing sightlines to remain unbroken and the energy of the space to feel cohesive yet distinct. A sunken seating area with a U-shaped sofa offers a prime location in the main living space to connect with family and visitors while enjoying the views ahead. Descending into the basement reveals one of the home’s most surprising elements – a column-free space filled with natural light from a sunken courtyard. This level houses a vibrant lounge, a bar, and a play zone, shifting the conventional notion of what a basement can be. The upper level rooms were designed for each inhabitant. The primary suite is a tranquil hideaway; the daughter’s room expresses soft curves and pastel hues; while the son’s space merges function and solitude with a study nook that opens to the terrace. “This is where the family finds their quietest, most personal moments,” says Arora. “Each space is a true reflection of who they are.” A meditation room offers a quiet escape, while the terrace becomes a gathering point under the open sky – a platform for reflection and shared moments. What distinguishes Maurpankhi further is its curated material palette. Walls finished with limewash exude a soft, tactile beauty, while the overall color scheme leans into neutral, earthy tones that soothe the senses. The use of natural and time-responsive materials is deliberate, reinforcing the idea that the house isn’t static – it transforms with the people inside.

Reading Time: 12 minutes Effective marketing begins with reliable information about your customers and your campaigns. That’s where email analytics tools come in. They help you analyze customer engagement, optimize email performance, and drive meaningful growth. But in a sea of tools that promise ‘insight,’ it’s hard to know where to start. Whether you are a solo marketer or part of a larger team, finding email analytics software that aligns with your goals can make all the difference between guesswork and identifying your growth funnel. This blog post reviews some of the best email marketing analytics tools to set up reliable, actionable campaign reporting. What is an Email Analytics Tool? An email analytics tool is software that tracks, measures, and reports key email marketing performance metrics of your campaign, such as open rates, click-through rates, and conversions. This enables marketers to develop informed, data-driven strategies that boost ROI and help in personalizing campaigns. The data shared by the tool depends on how advanced it is. It further taps into the behavioral side of your customer, such as customer journeys.   5 Benefits of Using Email Marketing Analytics Tools For lack of better words, intuition is good in marketing, but data is better. With email marketing analytics software, you can know your customers like the back of your hand, deliver hyper-targeted and behavior-triggered marketing campaigns, and always be sure of your actions. Put simply, email analytics tools turn raw data into actionable insights, and here’s how you can level up your game using them: Improve Campaign Performance: Analytics tools provide data on what’s working (and what’s not) by focusing on key conversion metrics and customer behavior. This helps you make data-backed tweaks to email content, subject lines, delivery times, offers, and more, leading to better email engagement and results. Understand Your Audience Better: Your email analytics software will reveal insights into your audience’s behavior, preferences, and habits with just a few clicks. It’s crucial to know when your readers open and engage with emails, which CTA they interact with the most, and what offers they’re likely to click on. This is because it empowers you with incredibly valuable insights to create personalized and relevant messaging. Improved Targeting and Personalization: 78% of marketers agree to rely heavily on personalization for their email marketing campaigns. Analyzing data on customers’ behavior and preferences helps you understand your audience better and tailor campaigns to their specific interests and needs. This can lead to higher engagement and better response rates. Optimize Send Times and Frequency: Since 61% of customers prefer receiving promotional emails weekly, your tool could be used to customize and create emails specifically for your audience. As a result, instead of relying on guesswork about when to send, you can determine the optimal time and cadence based on real customer behavior. This reduces unsubscribe rates and makes your emails more likely to be read. Identify and Segment High-Value Leads: The most significant benefit of using email marketing analytics software is knowing your core audience versus those who will never take action, saving you thousands of marketing dollars. These tools are designed to identify which customers are most engaged, enabling you to build targeted segments for follow-up campaigns. Understanding the value of what an email analytics tool can do for you is the first step, but picking the right tool is where the magic begins. Let’s break down the key factors to assess.   How to Choose the Right Email Marketing Analytics Software Picking the right tool can be overwhelming when you have so many options. But the best tool is the one that’s right for your business goals, team, and depth of insights needed. So, before you make the plunge, here are the key factors to consider. Let’s go over them in detail. Metrics and Reporting Abilities: Your email analytics software should identify top-performing audience segments, highlight geographical and device trends, and uncover content preferences across subject lines, visuals, and text. Most importantly, it should track conversions and attribute revenue, helping you connect every campaign to real business impact. Integration with Your Tech Stack: Today’s email marketing analytics tools must be self-sufficient and smoothly integrate with your tech and marketing ecosystem, such as your CRM, CDP, Ecommerce, or internal marketing automation software. The more your platform works smoothly with your entire tech stack, the swifter its implementation and usage. Integrated systems reduce manual jobs, eliminate silos and empower your teams to collaborate and work smarter. Real-Time Analytics: Real-time analytics allows you to monitor and optimize performance on the go and serve your customers with the best possible experience. It lets the marketing team respond to customers’ needs instantly, adjust campaigns in real time, and improve campaign ROI. Ease of Use: When picking a tool, always check for intuitive navigation, visual reporting, customizable dashboards, and precise documentation. A user-friendly tool will speed up execution, reduce ‘handover’ time, and allow your team to move quickly from insight to action. Scalability: The final question that remains, is the platform scalable? Does it have enough capabilities to grow with your business, audience, and campaign scale? Choosing a scalable platform protects you from future roadblocks, avoids costly migrations, and ensures your investment continues to deliver long-term. Once you have narrowed down your choices based on your overall goal, the next step is to analyze the tool based on its offers and your needs. Not all email analytics tools are created equal, and understanding which capabilities are essential to you can save money, time, and frustration.   5 Key Features to Look for in an Email Analytics Software While the basic features remain the same, all email analytics tools will have a hero feature that shines, one that will let you experiment with content formats and style. Meanwhile, another will have the most gorgeous data visualization of your campaign reports you have ever seen. Your job is to pick what works best for you. Let’s examine a list of features that go beyond basic metrics and improve customer engagement. 1. Detailed Campaign Insights Your email analytics tool should help you turn data into insight, and insight into action. This means the tool must provide real-time insights on campaign performance, including detailed metrics like email open rates or click-through rates. Marketers can use this feature to monitor live campaigns and quickly identify customer trends or issues that need immediate action. Here’s what a tool’s dashboard on campaign performance looks like, once the email has been sent. Why this is a key criterion: Having real-time visibility on data that helps you make better decisions for your customers beats any other feature by miles. It’s a marketer’s opportunity to pivot, optimize, engage, or build on campaigns. 2. Custom Dashboards Custom dashboards show you charts and tables to digest customer data swiftly and clearly. They allow you to build tailored views of your core metrics, pulling in data points that matter most to your unique goals. Whether it is campaign performance, audience segmentation, or simply the result of an A/B test experience, these dashboards provide a sharp glance at once to maximize ROI. Your tool’s custom dashboard should allow multiple reports to be created for a desired destination. These reports should have different granularities, such as time ranges, chart types, or tables, just like the one below. Why this is a key criterion: Custom dashboards cut through the noise by allowing you to focus on metrics that matter, eventually boosting efficiency and the ability to make strategic decisions fast. 3. Automated A/B Testing Automated A/B testing can help marketing teams save time, effort, and resources, especially when dealing with hundreds of emails at once. This feature automates the A/B test of your email campaigns, enabling you to test different content, time, frequency, offers, and content blocks, automatically selecting the winning variant. Why this is a key criterion: Marketers rely on it to continuously improve performance, remove guesswork, and bring out the best of their campaigns, not assumptions. 4. Campaign Error Breakdown The campaign error breakdown, a little-talked-about feature of the email marketing world, tells marketers why their campaigns fail. Was it due to an invalid address, poor optimization, spam complaints, or a technical error? This granular reporting can save teams thousands of dollars in marketing money by simply diagnosing the issue and refining their lists and templates for better delivery. Why this is a key criterion: Understanding why your brand emails are not hitting the right inbox is crucial for healthy email list management and ensuring your messages reach the inbox, not the spam folder. 5. Link Click Tracking through Click Maps This feature can be rather beautiful. Its ability to use hot and cold colors and tell marketers exactly where their customers are clicking—a simple breakdown highlighting the hotspots of engagement—makes it attractive. It’s an intuitive feature that helps marketers quickly identify which links, buttons, and content or images in the email have drawn the maximum attention from customers. Why this is a key criterion: With these insights, teams can build on their content, refine email layouts, and place the messaging where it draws maximum attention to boost conversion. Heatmaps turn raw click data into digestible insight.   How to Integrate Email Marketing Analytics Tools Into Your Martech Stack Pro tip: Invite not just your growth team, but also your product, engineering, and data teams before you begin any migration-related task. This is also when your team should export all relevant events, metric nomenclature, and other platform-specific jobs to ensure the migration doesn’t fail. Now, as you begin the mammoth task of integrating email marketing analytics into your Martech, know that it’s not just a technical step, but a strategic one. When done right, it provides a single source of truth for customer insights and allows you to create consistent, data-driven experiences across every touchpoint. 1. Auditing Your Current Martech Stack A Martech stack audit before you begin will tell you everything you need to move forward. Where is the data flowing from? Which source reports on customer activity? Are there any duplications in metrics? Does the data in your CRM tool align with the data in your email tool? Is your campaign data properly flowing into your analytics platforms for reporting? A thorough audit will reveal all of this and more, which should be documented for all relevant teams to sign off on and learn from. Defining what gets shared ensures every tool gets the data it needs, eliminates blind spots, and creates a unified view of your customers. 2. Defining Key Metrics and Integration Goals Before you unplug your current system, you need to know exactly which key fits into which lock. Were you tracking and digging deeper into behavioral trends to measure campaign ROI, or were your campaigns defined at a surface level? Outlining what success looks like for your email analytics tool at the start opens up avenues for exact paths to follow, processes to set, and establishes clear guidelines. This can be done once your integration KPIs are set, for precise outcomes. Without clear email marketing metrics and goals, you risk drowning in data with no direction. Defining success upfront keeps integration linear, focused, and impactful. 3. Configuring Data Flow and Synchronization To maximize the output of your integration, ensure your data moves smoothly, accurately, and in real time. Set up your data pipelines carefully, double-check events and field mappings, and test for accuracy across platforms. Ensure your events and email metrics match and align with your CRM, marketing automation, and BI dashboards. Flawless data flow means fewer silos and blind spots, eventually enabling marketing teams to run campaigns smoothly with reliable insights. It ensures every team, from marketing to growth, operates with the same playbook. 4. Choosing the Right Email Analytics Tool After a thorough scan of the email marketing analytics software on the market, selecting the right one for your tech stack can feel overwhelming. Even when all the tools look the same, they differ in terms of the value they bring. Some can bring advanced data visualization, while others are ahead of everyone by using AI-powered features. Some may have a massive CRM ecosystem, while others may be seamless and intuitive to use — you have to prioritize your and your team’s needs, and future growth. The right tool is excellent for what you need today and promising for what you need tomorrow. It sets you up for long-term success. 5. Documentation. Training. Handover. Everything we have discussed so far will be useless if your team finds it difficult to use the new tool. While each tool will have its own set of best practices for onboarding a new client, the following flow works best. Set up a video onboarding session, and share its recording Send out detailed, easy-to-digest navigational documents Appoint a POC and have them set up initial campaigns Set up bi-monthly checkpoints to refine workflows and adaptation Weekly blocker and feedback sessions This process will also allow you to gather insights on what keeps your team at bay, highlight challenges, and enable the marketing tool to set customers up for success. Empowered teams turn integrated tools into business results.   5 Best Email Analytics Tools for Assessing Performance Email personalization, using data and insights to fuel campaigns, cross-channel marketing, and now leaning on AI to optimize campaigns and workflows aren’t just a ‘good-to-have’ feature anymore, but a must-have.

Passing through a green warp pipe, I see a colorful mushroom kingdom spreading out in front of me. Almost.  Headset pressed to my face, volume up, I'm actually watching the Super Mario Bros. movie in Apple's Vision Pro from a room in my house, the screen stretched out in 3D.  But I'm feeling a little emotional, sort of a visceral thrill, like a memory. That's because the film's blending with my memories of being at Universal Studios' Epic Universe theme park a few weeks ago, when I was walking around an actual physical Mushroom Kingdom, passing through a real and very large green warp pipe — but in Orlando, Florida.  In the park, it's all walls I can touch, blocks I can tap. Coming back to watch the movie again, in 3D, it now feels a little bit like coming home. Imaginary worlds are expanding… both in my brain, and in the virtual and physical realms. It's happening in movies, in games, in VR and in places like Epic Universe, the biggest new theme park in the US in 20 years, which opens to the public on May 22.  All these immersive worlds are tapping into universes we already have somewhat mapped out in our minds, and by mapping them out even further, creators are laying emotional groundwork for staying more deeply connected in the future.  I'm obsessed with immersive technologies and write extensively about them at CNET; I've been reviewing VR and AR headsets and games for over a decade now. But I'm finding that physical places — like theme parks — can fuel our memories, too, and they begin to blend in strange ways. And that's very much by design. We're living in a hyper-connected state of entertainment, and Epic Universe just feels like the latest, biggest step. "The thirst for things that are live, things that are unpredictable, has only increased now that we're getting all of these franchise-based experiences out there," says Kathryn Yu, co-founder of the Immersive Experience Institute in Los Angeles. "Otherwise, that IP is just a thing that you stream that happens to other people in a little box. The next logical conclusion is, well, I would love to go there." The vast new world of Epic Universe is a lot to take in, even without the crowds there. I visited ahead of its opening, intensely curious about the experiences and the technology and what it would all add up to. I saw the future, and also the past. And what I experienced through a frenzied day was that the details, and surprises, were everywhere.  This was my journey there, in the moment itself and remembered from a distance, filtered through the nostalgia that movies, games and immersive tech fill me with now as I look back. I'm going to walk you through what I encountered and put it all into perspective. In this article: A past full of portals Theme parks have been imagining other worlds for years. Disneyland, which dreamed of a series of worlds visited via connected pathways starting from a central hub — a "hub and spokes" model that's mirrored in most major theme parks now — opened way back in 1955. But in the last couple of decades, the ante has been upped, and upped again. CNET/Zooey LiaoParks have gotten more theme-immersive over time: Universal opened Islands of Adventure in Orlando in 1999, where it created mini lands based on franchises like Jurassic Park, Marvel, Dr. Seuss and Harry Potter.  Disney's Animal Kingdom, also in Florida, started with a theme around animals from various continents. It added Pandora in 2017, a section made to feel like you're walking around the alien world from James Cameron's Avatar movies. Disney also has a Toy Story land at Hollywood Studios, opened in 2018, Star Wars-themed lands in both its California and Florida parks that opened in 2019 and Avengers Campus, which opened at Disneyland in 2021.  In a sense, Epic Universe in Orlando is a park full of these extreme-themed locations, connected like magic portals. Four big places, four familiar and deep wells of movie memories to draw from: Nintendo, How to Train Your Dragon, Harry Potter and classic Universal monsters. Of course, these particular themes are in areas where new movies, games and shows are emerging constantly. A live-action How to Train Your Dragon movie arrives this summer; the Nintendo Switch 2 launches in June; there's a new Harry Potter series for HBO Max that's in the works. These are no accidents. On the other hand, if you have no connection to those intellectual properties, then you might not feel the need to visit. "It becomes kind of a double-edged sword, because you have folks who really love a franchise and will definitely buy a ticket if you're featuring that franchise," says Yu of the Immersive Experience Institute. "And then you have folks who may not be so hot on that, and you still need to appeal to them." Franchises are now made to bleed between film, TV, game and theme park. It's a cross-media world, and our physical presence in a park, playing a role in experiencing something first-hand, can end up making all the other pieces feel more emotionally important. Is there a limit to the immersive theming? Disney hit a wall with Galactic Starcruiser, a multiday self-contained hotel experience that opened in 2022 but closed a year later, something that was aiming high but was way too expensive and too immersive to appeal to many people, not to mention badly timed during a pandemic.Bridget Carey, CNET editor at large and theme park expert, who visited Epic Universe with me last month, experienced the ill-fated Galactic Starcruiser firsthand and felt it was a blend of theme park and video game, but it was an experience that locked you into a commitment — both of time and price.  Large-scale immersive theater experiences aren't always successful, either: Life and Trust, a massive multilevel New York theater event designed to be a spiritual follow-up to the decade-plus run of Sleep No More, closed after only nine months. Yet these types of projects show where immersiveness in parks could expand. "The Starcruiser experience didn't just lean into sci-fi tech for a Star Wars vibe. What made it impressive was the improvisational actors that made the sets and effects more transportive," Carey says. "Universal also is weaving that ingredient into Epic, and I was surprised by the number of human character actors we saw in each land — helping make those robotic dragons and magical creatures have emotional connections with guests."  What's different with Epic compared to how theme parks have already been evolving? In some ways, not as much as you'd think. But it's the more intense focus on immersion, combined with the portals that become the entry gates, that feel new. Universal's marketing is all about wanting you to feel like you're teleporting into these places. (Also, the new rides are a whole lot of fun.) The portal gates are made to feel like they're constructed intentionally, waiting for you to make the leap. And I've felt that portal feeling many times before, at home: in VR, where jumping to other worlds almost feels like a ritual — laying out a play space, opening an app, stepping through. All right. Here we go. Into the portals Celestial Park The entrance to Epic Universe begins with a portal. And it has portals all the way through, to the individual subworlds, and even to worlds within those worlds. It's the theme to the whole park. The entrance is the biggest portal of all, called the "Chronos," and it looks sort of like a stargate. It's also just a familiar entrance gate, adorned with symbols to the worlds that await inside,  something of a steampunk galactic theme. Jeffrey Hazelwood/CNETInside, things are strangely sedate. The first "hub world," Celestial Park, is lovely, beautifully landscaped and chill. So chill that you might wonder where the park excitement is hiding. The gardens and vaguely retrofuture architecture feels a bit like the Star Wars planet Naboo, or even the front part of Epcot that used to be called Future World. There are some rides, but just a few. There's an ornate domed carousel, and an interactive water fountain. There's also the park's best roller coaster, a massive twin beast called Stardust Racers, where two trains appear to race as they barrel roll over each other.  The dual coaster has a design that feels both inspired by the lore of an Atlantis lost world and fantasies of Jules Verne. Look closely and you can find an Easter egg: the flux capacitor from Back to the Future — a Universal property that used to have its own ride — flickers on the back of each coaster car. There's no promise of time travel, but the ride accelerates to speeds that feel as intense as Velocicoaster, Universal's notorious Jurassic World-themed ride. Celestial Park feels like a world between worlds. It's the place where the portals to every other world live. Celestial Park's got a lot of good food, relaxing restaurants and calming fountains. I could see this being the place where Universal has future festivals, pop-up experiences. It's also a centering space, a reset point, a rest stop between dives into other worlds. It clears your mind before you head into the next hyper-immersive place.  "The future of the attractions industry isn't one-size-fits-all. It's about creating moments that feel personal, unforgettable and emotionally resonant, regardless of the scale." Jakob Wahl, president and CEO of IAAPA Are centering places like this key to the future of more intense immersive experiences? In my early days of going to VR installations, there was a big focus on the onboarding process, as well as a decompression space where you'd be able to rest and be in your own thoughts for a while. The more stimulation we have, the more we need a way to remove ourselves from it. "For an immersive spectacle to work, it's really got to be all encompassing, but that also means what's on the outside needs to be thought through, too," says Noah Nelson, founder of the immersive entertainment site No Proscenium. "There's a whole art to path making, and while I'm not sure if we need to go the full 'chill room at the rave' route, there is something to be said for an 'ontological crossfade' from one 'reality' into another." All around the edges of Celestial Park, golden gates beckon with statues stacked on top. These are the other worlds, and entering them, you definitely feel the strong crossfade. Super Nintendo World Coin fountains and castle decorations surround Nintendo's portal, and the moment you head in, you ride an escalator. It's a warp pipe, with light beams shooting off to the sides. Then you're inside a familiar castle, Mushroom Kingdom portraits on the walls. Exiting it, you're looking out at a multilevel vista of moving blocks, Yoshis and bouncing creatures: It looks just like a level map from a Super Mario game.  It's made to overwhelm and dazzle you. The paths seem to go everywhere: down, up, to the sides and who knows where else. You descend into it, sinking into the immersion. Jeffrey Hazelwood/CNETSuper Nintendo World already exists in Universal's Tokyo park and in Universal Studios Hollywood, but Orlando's layout is larger and extends through an additional portal tunnel into a subworld of Donkey Kong that's full of palm trees, banana piles and a mine cart coaster that runs in and out of an ancient temple. That moment in the Super Mario Bros. movie where Mario and Peach go to Donkey Kong's kingdom and see all the looping paths everywhere? It's sort of that feeling, but smaller. If you buy a Power-Up Band ($40) from Universal, you can pair it with your phone and bop it against blocks and surfaces everywhere in the land, unlocking scores in mini games you can track on the Universal app. The bands also work as tappable NFC-enabled Amiibo for the Nintendo Switch, giving unlockable extras. I keep thinking that Nintendo could expand that park-to-Switch relationship further, maybe even with the Switch 2.  There aren't that many rides here, but they are memorable. A calmer Yoshi ride moves slowly around the Mushroom Kingdom's edges, more of a young kid's ride or even a way to take in the vistas without walking. And Mario Kart: Bowser's Challenge is also surprisingly slow moving for a racing ride, but it's because you wear augmented reality head visors, tethered to your car, that float images of video game opponents all around you. The goal is to shoot flying turtle shells at opponents by turning your wheel and pressing buttons. The best parts feel like you're almost living inside the game itself — a dark tunnel where Rainbow Road floats.  The tech feels old now compared to home headsets like the Apple Vision Pro or Meta's Quest 3 — it is, since it was made for similar rides back in 2021 — but it's also the only AR ride in this park, or nearly anywhere else. And I think future rides could go a lot further. It reminds me instantly of the remote-control Mario Kart toys that Nintendo made to work with an AR-enabled Switch game called Mario Kart Live, which I drove around my home during the pandemic in 2020. Switch 2 games and connected toys could in the future further expand these rides. The Donkey Kong Mine Cart Madness ride is the best of the bunch: The coaster's hidden ride mechanism makes it seem like you're on cartoonishly broken tracks, but you're not. The cart flies off them, jumping gaps, leaping into space, making what seem like impossible turns, and it's full of surprises. It's not loaded with visible tech: Its magic tricks are subtler.  "The thirst for things that are live, things that are unpredictable, has only increased now that we're getting all of these franchise-based experiences."  Kathryn Yu, co-founder of the Immersive Experience Institute While there are little corners to explore around Super Nintendo World, like extra Power-Up Band challenges and little Nintendo Easter eggs, I want more. I want the Power-Up Band minigames to feel even more game-like. I want crazy levels of extra things to find. Maybe that can still come. Nintendo's rumored to make an expansion to Super Nintendo World, possibly adding a Zelda-themed Hyrule area to time with a future Zelda movie Universal is releasing in 2027. Pokemon is also a rumored expansion focus.  The possibilities seem endless, but the cost and planning of building areas that feel timeless and popular enough to work is a whole other challenge. This space filled with Mario and Donkey Kong echoes lots of existing games, and probably games to come. When I played Donkey Kong Bananza and Mario Kart World on the Switch 2, I couldn't help thinking about Super Nintendo World all over again. And that's clearly the point: They reflect each other. A Photo Tour Inside Epic Universe See all photos Franchises are now made to bleed between film, TV, game and theme park. It's a cross-media world, and our physical presence in a park, playing a role in experiencing something first-hand, can end up making all the other pieces feel more emotionally important. The same way I watch movies about the UK nostalgically after I've traveled there, I watch the Super Mario Bros. movie and play Super Mario games after I visited Epic Universe. "Epic Universe is a powerful example of how immersive storytelling, cutting-edge technology, and bold vision are shaping the future of themed entertainment," says Jakob Wahl, president and CEO of IAAPA, the Global Association for the Attractions Industry. "It reflects a growing demand from guests for deeply integrated, multisensory experiences that transport them into entirely new worlds with characters from some of the world's most popular movies and video games." How to Train Your Dragon: Isle of Berk Entering the portal into the world of How to Train Your Dragon, you're greeted with an expanse of water, massive carved statues and bridges beyond. Wide skies, flying rides: This is the Isle of Berk, and it's full of dragons, water and people roleplaying as characters from the films. It's the most wide-open feeling world in the park, inviting you to seemingly wander in any direction. It's the biggest, and has the most rides and shows, too. Jeffrey Hazelwood/CNETI didn't grow up with these movies, but I could see the crowds who did, and waited in line for a chance to pet a robotic Toothless dragon in a stable. Chances to meet dragons are everywhere: One, puppeted by somebody inside, proudly struts around, guided by Viking handlers.  In one corner, if you're patient, a baby dragon emerges for photo opps: This is Dart, a self-powered robot that's so convincingly animated that it hypnotized me in my tracks — it has a feel similar to Boston Dynamics' robot dogs, but turned into cartoon form. Disney isn't putting free-roaming robots into its parks yet, although it's test-driving Nvidia-powered BD-0 droids that should be making more appearances in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge eventually.  "The BDX droids are just the beginning," Kyle Laughlin, senior vice president at Walt Disney Imagineering, said when the droids were shown off at an Nvidia conference in March, referring to AI advances to come via Google DeepMind and Nvidia. "This collaboration will allow us to create a new generation of robotic characters that are more expressive and engaging than ever before."  Meanwhile, Universal is already doing that with its little Dart appearances. Dart shows the future: animated and free-walking, and acting alongside real human actors that make it feel like the world has come alive.  Drone dragons wheel overhead, too — not during my initial visit, but they'll be there on park opening. Other robotic dragon tails poke out of nests. One ice-breathing dragon pokes its head out from behind a wall.  The dragon moments continue in a lavish show called The Untrainable Dragon, which blends screens and actors and dragons that look like a combination of puppeting and robotics. Toothless wheels overhead during the show, and the emotional scale of it all made me cry.  "For an immersive spectacle to work, it's really got to be all encompassing ... there's a whole art to path making." Noah Nelson, founder of the immersive entertainment site No Proscenium In this land, the rides almost feel secondary. A wheeling, tame sky ride called Dragon Racer's Rally was fine for kids, maybe not worth it for adults. A water-blasting boat ride called Fyre Drill was fun, but similar to a ride I've tried at New York's Legoland. But the family coaster here, called Hiccup's Wing Gliders, is the best thing to try: It's fast, zips over water and around the island, and has other dragons to see. It's a story experience as much as a thrill ride, like Hagrid's Magical Creatures coaster at Universal's Islands of Adventure.Berk doesn't have interactive features like Power-Up Bands or wands, but it has plenty of other merch. It's also, I think, about just feeling happy and free. It feels loose, like a festival. And maybe more of a Disney-type place than any other part of Universal. "The sheer number of dragon animatronics exposed to the outdoors was impressive — both in the ride and peppered across the landscape. But what really amps up the emotion and whimsy is the music from John Powell's soundtrack, which got me bawling happy tears on the coaster," says Carey. "Universal leans hard into movie scores throughout each portal to activate your emotions quickly — which stands out from Disney's choice to use more subtle, natural-sounding background tracks. But I think that's where Epic got it right. People want the music to have that connection." What I remember most from this world, as I portaled back out, was the dragons, whether they were drones, robots or puppets. All of the dragons.  Wizarding World of Harry Potter: Ministry of Magic The Harry Potter portal gate leads into a subway exit, with a wall full of French posters. Around a corner, there's a massive arch. And through that arch is a wide city street, shops everywhere, hints of a skyline in the distance. The Ministry of Magic's recreation of 1920s Paris hits me on a grander, more detailed scale than any of the other worlds.  Jeffrey Hazelwood/CNETThe buildings loom high. The city's farther-off attractions poke above rooftops. It feels like we've teleported. Take the previous Wizarding World areas at Universal and imagine them even bigger, and you have this. Windows in storefronts are interactive, if you have a wand you've purchased from a shop. Wave it in a certain pattern to make magical things happen. Finding the windows is a little game in itself. Some windows have interactive paintings that speak to you, too. In the middle of the city square is a circus tent, hosting Cirque Arcanus, a live theater spectacle that looks like it's impossibly tucked into this tent, with an immersive show blending magic tricks and screens. Deeper inside, the main show seems to take place inside the suitcase of Newt Scamander from the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them movies. Different creatures emerge from shadows and dimensional windows, made of a mix of high-res displays, puppets, robotics and stage magic.  Down one end of the Paris streets is the only ride: a showstopping experience called the Battle for the Ministry of Magic. We pass through a MetroFloo station, entering yet another portal that flashes green smoke as we end up on the other side in a massive recreation of the Ministry of Magic from the Harry Potter movies, but now in modern-day London. I don't realize until I get home days later and rewatch the movies how spot-on this recreation is: Much like Disney's Rise of the Resistance ride, it feels like you've been beamed right into a film.  The Ministry of Magic ride itself, down endless corridors of talking portraits and interactive details you might linger on during what could be seriously long waits, is an elevator you sit in as it leaps and glides through a journey involving Harry, Hermione, Ron, Dolores Umbridge and things that seem real and virtual at the same time.  "Universal leans hard into movie scores throughout each portal to activate your emotions quickly ... People want the music to have that connection." Bridget Carey, CNET editor at large Universal says this ride has a whole new mechanism technology — it reminds me of both the Gringotts and Forbidden Journey rides at Universal's other parks, but more like you're watching a magical theater experience unfold. It's the most eye-popping ride in the park. I wished I could floo-hop over to the other Wizarding World sections at Universal's other parks. You can't: This park is miles from the others, and misses out on the magic train connection. Dark Universe Through another portal that looks embedded in a gnarled mountain of rocks and roots, we pass into a cemetery, tombstones everywhere, leading to a haunted-looking European village. In some ways the most intimate of the four worlds, this lurking gothic zone, themed to house Universal's classic monsters, feels like a permanent version of Universal's Halloween Horror-themed events.  Jeffrey Hazelwood/CNETThe path snakes around a series of rides and taverns, with details like menacing statues and a cart full of body parts in bottles. You'll see actors here that play various roles: a mad violinist plays a tune and spins through the square. The Invisible Man peers through bandages and insults your intelligence. At The Burning Blade Tavern, a pub at the end of the path that has a burning windmill above it, actors play the roles of monster hunters. The biggest draw here is a decaying mansion that houses Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment, a ride that throws all of Universal's monsters into animatronic form. The ride's built on the same arm structure as Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey: You feel like you're being propelled through rooms where werewolves, the Creature From the Black Lagoon, Frankenstein's monster and Dracula battle each other. The vibe is more video game and comic-infused than something truly scary. Still, it's the most animatronics-filled experience in the park — Frankenstein's monster towers above me in the preshow room, stepping forward as if he's about to walk right toward us.  One other roller coaster, Curse of the Werewolf, is weirdly lacking in any actual werewolves, and felt tamer than I expected. And my visit, during the day, didn't seem to fit the horror style of the surroundings.  At night, and with plenty of role-playing actors around, Dark Universe could take on whole new dimensions. This part of the park feels like the biggest leap into an unknown, and could use even more building out to add in extra thrills. But what I felt the most in this subdued, ominous-feeling part of the park was the promise of roleplay. What if I stayed longer and tried to follow the violinist? What if the Invisible Man tried to recruit me for a mission? What does Ygor have to tell me if I seek him out? If I go to the pubs and lurking corners, will I find more mysteries to unravel? As a doorway to the oldest part of Universal's history, could Dark Universe be a permanent way to explore the weird horrors of Halloween all year long? I'd like to stick around here for dinner after dark and see what happens. The future beyond Epic On my way home again, thinking ahead to my next visit around the time of the park's opening day, I wondered about what Epic Universe represents for the future of where amusement parks and immersive entertainment are heading, and what it could also mean for all the games, movies, shows and toys that connect to them. Theme parks are conceived years ahead of time, slowly emerging into completion. Epic Universe is here in 2025, but its ideas were birthed back in 2019 and intended for 2023, delayed because of the pandemic. What we're seeing now is the bleeding edge of large-scale theme parks, but not necessarily a sign of what the future holds.  It's hard to keep large-scale things in business, so I often think about the future of immersive entertainment as coming from smaller productions. There have been a ton of contained immersive ticketed attractions in the last decade that give the I've-been-to-a-park experience, often at a lower cost.  My mind turns to Meow Wolf, a growing collective that makes hallucinatory installations that have mysteries and parts that unlock extras on a phone app. One of Meow Wolf's next locations, in New York, looks to add even more mixed reality and interaction (it's themed like an interdimensional arcade).  Meow Wolf's founders say that smaller indoor spaces can build out higher levels of next-level interaction beyond what Universal or Disney can do.  "We see them as sort of scratching the surface," Meow Wolf's Vince Kladubek tells me, speaking about parks like Epic Universe. "When you have a dedicated indoor space, you have far more possibilities than when you're in an outdoor theme park land. We're really honing in on the capabilities that are now possible when you have a fixed indoor space in bringing this mixed-reality experience forward." "Epic Universe is a powerful example of how immersive storytelling, cutting-edge technology and bold vision are shaping the future of themed entertainment." Jakob Wahl, president and CEO of IAAPA And while these smaller interactive experiences emerge, it's rare to see a completely new theme park open in the US — the last one was Disney's California Adventure in 2001. Disney and Universal have been locked in a back-and-forth competition for decades, one-upping each other with new immersive ideas, licensing deals and park upgrades, but Disney has no new US park planned. Instead, Disney is focused on specific park upgrades — a Monsters, Inc. area for Hollywood Studios, new Cars and Villains lands for Magic Kingdom, an Encanto and Indiana Jones expansion to Animal Kingdom, more Avengers rides at California Adventure. New parks are opening overseas, though: Universal has a UK park in development, and Disney just announced a deal to open a theme park in Abu Dhabi. Universal's next steps beyond Epic are already in the works, but in lots of smaller pieces. A horror-themed permanent Universal attraction, called Universal Horror Unleashed, opens in Las Vegas this August. Its four haunted houses should feel like the ones in Universal's seasonal horror night fests, but year-round. Universal also has a kid-focused, smaller park that's opening in Frisco, Texas next year. "We're seeing

What started as a simple vision for a cozy little rental quickly grew into something far more meaningful. The Cozy Cabin, designed by Alexey Gulesha, Sergii Plinokos, and Victoria Romaniuk, was never meant to be a forever space, but as the design came together, so did a sense of belonging. With every material choice, lighting tweak, and layout shift, the project began to feel less like a stopgap and more like a retreat. The living room in the Cozy Cabin is the heart of the home: soft, grounded, and inviting. A plush, low-profile sectional anchors the space. This is upholstered in a creamy fabric that feels just as calming as it looks. A deep-pile rug and curved coffee tables add tactile elements. Simultaneously, the room invites you to sink in and stay awhile. The recessed feature in the wall makes for a space-savvy addition. It can recess back into the wall, making room for a full-fledged bed! Tucked just off the main living area, the dining space features a light-toned wooden table with softly rounded edges. This sets the tone: natural, unfussy, and full of warmth. It’s paired with a mix of upholstered and timber chairs, bringing a lived-in feel. Overhead, a minimal pendant light casts a gentle glow. Clean-lined cabinetry in a soft, matte finish keeps the kitchen feeling open and effortless, while open shelving adds rustic charm. The palette stays neutral, letting textures (like natural wood, ceramic jars, and brushed hardware) do the talking. Compact but well-planned, every inch is optimized for easy living, whether you’re making coffee for one or prepping a weekend meal with friends. The bedroom in Cozy Cabin is drenched in soft neutrals and layered with texture. A low, upholstered bed sits at the center, dressed in natural linens and cloudlike throws. Subtle lighting, warm wood accents, and minimalist artwork round out the look—nothing loud, nothing fussy, just pure, understated comfort. The bathroom in The Cozy Cabin may be modest in size, but it delivers big on atmosphere. A floating vanity keeps the space feeling open, while warm wood details and matte black fixtures add depth. The walk-in shower is tiled in earthy neutrals, offering a calming, almost meditative feel.

Gaming consoles have come a long way from the days of simple joysticks and monochrome screens. As we move further into 2025, the landscape continues to evolve rapidly, with new devices blurring the boundaries between traditional gaming, social connectivity, and creative expression. When choosing the right console, it’s no longer just about specs or exclusive titles. Today’s best devices are about how they fit into your life, how they connect you with others, and how they foster creativity or healthy habits. They’re as much about self-expression and lifestyle as they are about graphics and gameplay. We have curated a collection of five exciting gaming consoles—each with a unique vision for the future of play. Dive in and pick your favorite! 1. Nintendo Wii U Revival Handheld Nintendo’s legacy of innovation finds new life in a modern handheld that pays homage to the underappreciated Wii U gamepad. This concept isn’t about replicating the hybrid appeal of the Switch – instead, it’s a focused portable device built for pure gaming pleasure. The design is refreshingly straightforward—a central, high-resolution screen flanked by familiar symmetrical analog sticks and a thoughtfully arranged button layout. Unlike the original Wii U’s somewhat cumbersome form, this new iteration is compact and portable, making it easy to slip into a bag or pocket. USB-C charging, an authentic D-pad, and a visually striking range of colorways (including a stunning gold Zelda edition) make it clear this is a modern device for devoted Nintendo fans. By reviving the Wii U’s backward compatibility and expanding on it, it offers a treasure trove of classic titles from the NES era to the Game Boy Advance—all playable locally, without subscriptions or cloud dependencies. What we like Access to a massive selection of classic Nintendo titles across multiple generations, playable offline and without ongoing fees. Slim, ergonomic form factor with contemporary features like USB-C charging and a responsive D-pad. What we dislike While nostalgic, the focus on past games may not appeal to those seeking cutting-edge, next-gen exclusives or mainstream AAA releases. Unlike the Switch, this device is a dedicated handheld, with no option to dock for TV play, potentially limiting its appeal for some users. 2. Kimera In an era where screens too often serve as conduits for endless scrolling and digital noise, the Kimera AI handheld introduces a refreshing alternative. This device is engineered for those seeking a more mindful relationship with technology, prioritizing creative expression and personal growth over passive consumption. Kimera’s AI-driven platform encourages users to disconnect from social media and instead invest their time in building unique, story-driven games, short films, animations, or even entirely new interactive worlds. Its sleek, distraction-free design invites you to put down your phone and channel your curiosity into something constructive. What we like Designed to help users break free from social media addiction and replace passive habits with creative pursuits. Offers guided experiences for game design, animation, and storytelling, making creativity accessible to all skill levels. What we dislike Its focus on creativity and self-development may not resonate with gamers seeking action-packed or traditional gameplay experiences. Those unfamiliar with creative software or design principles may need time to fully unlock the device’s potential. 3. Nintendo Niino Imagine a console that fits comfortably on your wrist, ready for gaming whenever and wherever you are. The Nintendo Niino takes inspiration from the portability of smartwatches and the playful essence of classic Nintendo handhelds, resulting in a device that’s both charming and functional. Its design is minimalist yet instantly recognizable – a SIM card-shaped body with a black base, accented by red, blue, and grey buttons, echoing Nintendo’s signature colors. The touchscreen and streamlined three-button layout are perfect for quick microgames and bite-sized fun, while the option to wear it like a gaming smartwatch makes it a conversation starter. It’s small enough to be a constant companion, whether you’re waiting in line, commuting, or taking a break at work. What we like Its compact, wrist-friendly design ensures gaming is always within reach, blurring the line between console and smart device. Quick, microgame-focused gameplay encourages spontaneous play and sharing among friends. What we dislike The small screen and minimal controls restrict the types of games that can be fully enjoyed, making it less suitable for deep or immersive experiences. While its novelty is undeniable, long-term engagement may wane if not supported by an excellent library or meaningful connectivity features. 4. Nex Playground For those who crave movement and shared experiences, the Nex Playground reimagines what it means to play together at home. This innovative cube-shaped console transforms any living room into a hub for active gaming, blending the best aspects of classic motion-based systems like the Wii and Kinect with the convenience of modern technology. The built-in motion-tracking camera captures players’ movements without the need for wearable sensors, making setup effortless and play instantly immersive. The console’s approachable design and family-friendly focus ensure that gamers of all ages can join the fun, whether they’re dancing, kicking, or competing in friendly mini-games. What we like Motion-tracking technology encourages players to move, making gaming a healthier, more dynamic experience. Suitable for all ages and skill levels, fostering family fun and group interaction. What we dislike Focus on motion-based and party games may limit appeal for solo players or fans of traditional genres. To fully enjoy the active gameplay, you’ll need ample room—something not every living space can accommodate. 5. ORBIS The ORBIS handheld is a love letter to personal expression and flexible gaming. Taking inspiration from classic clamshell devices, it brings a modern twist by allowing users to customize the look of their console through removable ABS covers. The ORBIS lets you swap out covers as easily as you change phone cases. RGB lighting around the analog sticks amplifies the gamer vibe but also serves a practical purpose, enhancing visibility in low-light settings. Beyond its appearance, the ORBIS is packed with powerful specs to ensure smooth gameplay across a variety of titles. It’s more than just a fashion statement—it’s a versatile platform that appeals to both serious and casual gamers. What we like Removable covers and RGB lighting allow for unprecedented personalization, making each unit truly one-of-a-kind. The folding design protects the screen and controls during transport, enhancing portability and longevity. What we dislike Customization options and premium features may drive up the price compared to more basic handhelds. The clamshell mechanism and removable parts could make the device thicker or heavier than sleeker competitors.

A native Michigander, Nawal Motawi enrolled in the University of Michigan's Stamps School of Art & Design in the 1980s. After a year and a half, she dropped out "in disgust," she revealed in an interview with the Ann Arbor District Library. Motawi was turned off by the program's emphasis on self-marketing, and "I felt the critiques were a lot of baloney," she says. Motawi resolved to start over and study something else.Motawi's father, an Egyptian immigrant and food scientist for Gerber, wasn't thrilled that Motawi had enrolled in art school in the first place. But her parents were less thrilled that she had dropped out. As they were footing the bill for her education, they laid down the law: "We're going to pay for college through this date. If you're still in school after that, you got to pay for it yourself." Motawi looked at the credits she'd amassed, then returned to finish her degree.8x8 Imperial Peacock - Turquoise 8x8 Imperial Peacock - Turquoise After graduating, Motawi got a job at Detroit's Pewabic Pottery, where she learned about both the intricacies of ceramic tile glazes and the Arts & Crafts movement. Following that and a residency at CCS, she resolved to start her own studio. Dithering or daunted, "I was thinking of trying to go back to school, and my dad said, 'Look, why don't you just start the thing?' My mom came up with this idea to buy a house and rent it to me on very reasonable terms…. They invested in real estate and rented to me, and I started the tile works in that garage."4x12 Samara - Cream 4x12 Samara - Cream Motawi began producing tiles of her own design and selling them at the Ann Arbor Farmer's Market. "I realized I didn't have a marketing budget, so I had to figure out how to sell them any way I could. The fee at the time was $11 per day. I started out just selling little Christmas ornaments made of clay, and I also had samples, just concept boards of layouts.4x8 Skylight - Turquoise 4x8 Skylight - Turquoise "Ann Arbor has a very art appreciating and affluent society, and that was very, very important [LAUGHTER] to my being able to start the business." Motawi's work caught the eye of a wealthy shopper named Cynthia, who was redoing her fireplace. Motawi invited her to her garage studio, pitched some ideas, and won the project.8x8 March Balloons - Cream 8x8 March Balloons - Cream "I did a fireplace for Cynthia, who lived in a brand new duplex on Fourth Street. [Her next-door neighbor] saw her place and said, I want Motawi for mine. I did a fireplace and a backsplash for her." That led to a photograph of Motawi and her brother Karim standing in front of the fireplace, in an article in the Ann Arbor News; in the 1990s, this was the closest you could get to going viral.8x8 May Basket - Cream 8x8 May Basket - Cream Motawi—who had repeatedly tried to get into the Ann Arbor Art Fair and been rejected—began to build her client base. Motawi Tileworks soon outgrew the 600-square-foot garage studio and moved, several times, into larger spaces. (Her parents sold the rental house and turned a profit.)6x8 Saguaro - Green 6x8 Saguaro - Green Today Motawi Tileworks has over 40 employees working out of a 12,900-square-foot facility in Ann Arbor. The company's handmade art tiles are distributed in over 300 locations in North America. The Motawi collection that most caught my eye are the ones you see pictured here.

CSS grid with Galaxy layout: now available in FigmaHow I used Grid on a client website sometime ago, and share creative ideas to spark your imagination, whether you’re a designer, developer, or both.1. The history of CSS gridBack in 2005, Bert Bos published the CSS3 Advanced Layout draft. After nearly two decades of work by the CSS Working Group and passionate advocates, CSS Grid has evolved into one of the most powerful layout systems for the web and developers have been using it in production for years.Now, in 2025, designers can finally experience CSS Grid directly in Figma. Hopefully, Figma will continue evolving to support all CSS properties, functions, data types, and values, so design and code can align even more seamlessly. 🤝✨2. Observe: bringing installation Art to the webTo show what’s possible, I will show you through how I used CSS Grid to recreate a large scale installation artwork on the web from concept to implementation. Galaxy (2016) is one of the signature works by Korean contemporary artist Kim Eull, consisting of 1,450 individual drawings. The moment I saw it, I knew it could be reimagined with CSS Grid.Galaxy, Installation, Kim Eull, 2016Galaxy, Installation, Kim Eull, 2016When I saw it, I thought it could be quite easy to re-create and visualise it using CSS Grid. 😎In summer © 2023 Disney and related entities. All Rights Reserved.But it was more complicated than I expected making the Galaxy layout in CSS Grid with 1,450 drawings 😅.The first draft grid drawingMy first draft involved sketching a rough grid layout inspired by the installation. From there, I defined the following design goals:🎯 Design GoalsThe grid container should resemble the Galaxy installation.It should be flexible and responsive across screen sizes.Each grid item should have a hover effect and link to its own content page.Each item must match the exact shape ratio (vertical, horizontal, square) of the original artwork.Specified properties and values for each grid item in WordPress so the client can easily choose and upload artwork for each grid item if he wishes to change it.⚙️ Image configurations in WordPressImage size: small, medium, largeShape: vertical rectangle, horizontal rectangle, square3. Research: CSS grid capabilities① Understand the CSS grid structureLet me briefly explain the basics of CSS Grid. Think of CSS Grid like an IKEA IVAR shelf: the container is the outer frame, and the items are the individual cells. Define the frame, decide the rows and columns, and then neatly arrange your content, just like organising your favourite shelf.IKEA IVAR © Inter IKEA Systems B.V. 1999–2023I hope this cheat sheet I made for this article helps you understand the CSS grid structure. 🧙🏻CSS Grid container and itemIVAR outer frame = grid container = parentEach cell = grid item = childCSS Grid TerminologyLine: horizontal or vertical divider (used to position items)Cell: the smallest unit of the gridTrack: the space between two lines (a row or a column)Area: a group of cells defined using grid-area② Find suitable propertiesAs you can see from the CSS Grid cheatsheet below, CSS Grid has many properties and values as well as various features. It was important to find suitable properties and values of CSS Grid for the Galaxy layout. I tried all properties and found grid-template containers and grid-area items worked best for the Galaxy layout.CSS Grid properties4. Make: Prototyping & Iterating① Sketch the layout by hand (now in Figma!)CSS Grid prototypingTo define grid-area values visually, I printed a grid and sketched the Galaxy layout by hand. Back then, Figma didn’t support grid layouts like it does now so I had to draw by hand. But now, thanks to Figma’s new Grid feature, you can map and plan layouts much more easily 🙌CSS Grid prototyping in FigmaThat said, while I really enjoyed using Figma Grid, I noticed a few limitations that made it tricky to recreate the Galaxy layout precisely.🚧 A Few Limitations in Figma GridRow and column gapsNo variable support for row/column gapsFigma only allows fixed px values for grid gaps, but I need to use primitive values from our design system library to ensure consistency across components and patterns. It would be great if Figma supported variables or design tokens for this.⚠️ Note: Gaps in CSS can use any length unit or percentage — but not fr.No visible line numbers in FigmaNo visible line numbersWhen placing images based on grid-area, it’s hard to know the exact row/column without indicators. This made it difficult to match my CSS layout precisely.Elements shift randomly when adding new imagesEvery time I added a new image, other elements jumped around unexpectedly. I had to manually re-align everything — bug or feature?Limited support for CSS grid propertiesEspecially for parent-level properties like justify-items, align-items, place-content, etc. Figma currently only supports basic alignment and fixed units. This limits the full expressive potential of CSS Grid.🙏 If you’ve found any tricks or tips for these challenges, I’d truly appreciate it if you shared them!Despite these challenges, I believe Figma will continue to evolve and support more CSS properties, functions, data types, and values, aligning design and code even more seamlessly. If you have tips for that, please share!Now, let’s go back to the process of building the Galaxy layout.② Numbering the grid linesI labeled each row and column in the sketch, these line numbers help define each grid item’s position using the grid-area shorthand.Numbering the grid linesAlso, we can inspect these numbers in the Chrome DevTools like below.CSS grid in Chrome DevTools③ Set the grid containerSet the grid container using grid-templateHere is the CSS code for the container. I used the repeat CSS function to create a certain number of columns and rows, grid-template shorthand with repeat() to create a 25×21 grid..container { display: grid; grid-template: repeat(25, 1fr) / repeat(21, 1fr);}Set the Grid Container: Repeat CSS function④ Define Grid ItemsNow I had 525 grid cells. To specify the grid item’s size and location for the Galaxy layout, I defined grid-area shorthand property for 29 items.grid-area value: row-start / column-start / row-end / column-endDefine grid itemsHere is the CSS code for the 29 items.//item position.item1 { grid-area: 2/6/8/9;}.item2 { grid-area: 3/9/6/11;}.item3 { grid-area: 1/11/6/14;}.......item27 { grid-area: 22/18/24/19;}.item28 { grid-area: 7/4/12/6;}.item29 { grid-area: 21/7/25/10;}Responsive CSS Grid test on CodePenThe grid-area CSS shorthand property specifies a grid item’s size and location within a grid by contributing a line, a span, or nothing (automatic) to its grid placement, thereby specifying the edges of its grid area. -MDNgrid-area - CSS: Cascading Style Sheets | MDN⑤ Insert Images into HTMLAs the final step, I selected artwork images that matched each grid item’s shape to avoid awkward cropping. One day, I hope we’ll have a CSS algorithm smart enough to auto-pick image ratios. 😉https://medium.com/media/7ffea08b5878827140665a540845a2e3/href5. Reflect: 3 Key LearningsAfter building the Galaxy layout with CSS Grid, I took a moment to reflect, just like in any good design process. Looking back helped me identify what worked, what surprised me, and what I’d do differently next time. Here are three insights that stood out:① Implicit grid vs Explicit gridAn implicit grid is automatically generated by the browser when items extend beyond the defined structure.An explicit grid is one you define manually using grid-template-columns and grid-template-rows.Understanding the difference helps you take full control of your layout.Comparing implicit and explicit grids in CSShttps://medium.com/media/25b574bf51ba75b81f31a1435d74c649/href👉 Watch: Wes Bos — Implicit vs Explicit Tracks② How height works in CSSThe height CSS property specifies the height of an element. By default, the property defines the height of the content area. -MDNThe height property controls an element’s vertical size.By default, it matches the height of the content inside.No content = no height100px content = 100px heighthttps://medium.com/media/2cf58e34fbb0c76baaee2454c9cc9c46/href③ fr units need explicit height💡 Height doesn’t update automatically like width does.Unlike columns, which adjust to screen width, rows using fr units don’t respond the same way. If the container has no defined height, the browser can’t calculate row heights, causing layout issues like the one shown below.fr units need explicit heightThe browser can’t calculate row heights, which can cause the layout to break unexpectedly, as shown bwhelow.The browser can’t calculate row heightsHeight doesn’t get updated automaticallyWhereas, even if there is no explicit width value in the block-level element specified, the browser automatically calculates the width value of the element by the browser size.Width gets updated automaticallyFor this reason, if you wanted to use fr unit in the grid-templage-rows property and takes up the entire height of the screen, you should put an explicit height on the container.Use fr unit in the grid-templage-rows property and takes up the entire height of the screen.container { height: 100vh; grid-template-row: repeat(6, 1fr);}https://medium.com/media/0d0238775bbfbe8ae34cf66acc89bcff/hrefEven now, I often forget CSS Grid properties when revisiting projects 😅. That’s why I created a CSS Grid Cheatsheet, a quick reference to help me remember and apply the right values fast.CSS Grid cheatsheet6.
