It's a problem that drives the parents of most teenagers mad. But clothes piled up on the bedroom floor may soon be a problem of the past as scientists have developed a cleaning robot to pick up dirty laundry. Scientists from UC Berkeley say their clothes-collecting bot solves the'Teenagers Problem; of how to most efficiently pick up mess. Using a combination of colour and depth-sensing cameras the robot collects laundry into piles before finding the best place to grab the clothes. Professor Ken Goldberg, the study's lead author, says that this technology could become commercially available in the decade, meaning we may soon all have a robotic helper around the house.

Alicia Silverstone's bubble-headed Cher, from the 1995 comedy Clueless, would go gonzo over Amazon's hands-free camera, the Echo Look. She said in the film: "I don't rely on mirrors, so I always take Polaroids." That girl knew a mirror distorts your image, but a picture--or, better yet, a video clip--gives you a pretty good idea of how your clothing looks to other people. The Echo Look is a $200 voice-activated camera that snaps full-body photos and six-second video clips of your daily looks. It comes with a companion app that does two things: It tracks what you wear each day, and it uses that information to offer up fashion advice (including suggestions of complementary togs you can buy from Amazon). Announced in April 2017, but until recently available for purchase only by invitation, the Look is a significant departure from the rest of the Echo lineup.

For the past three years, Apple's iPhones haven't changed much. Or, at least they didn't appear to on the outside: the iPhone 6, iPhone 6s, and iPhone 7 all maintained the same slim, aluminum-crafted design with a circular home button at the bottom. Each phone came in the same size options: a 4.7-inch standard model or a larger 5.5-inch version. The new iPhone, which starts at $999 and begins shipping on Nov. 3, represents the most significant design change Apple has made to the iPhone in years. Apple's new flagship now has a 5.8-inch edge-to-edge screen that's more vibrant than ever.

Years ago, if someone told you that she was buying a camera for her bedroom, you'd imagine she was planning something naughty. But times have changed, and Amazon believes that you'll spend $200 on a camera that's both an extension of your smart home and the ultimate fashion accessory. The Echo Look is designed to help you look your best every morning, guiding and improving your style every time it's used. But what it represents, and what Amazon gets out of it, could be a much bigger deal for the future of fashion. Echo Look resembles pretty much every other smart home security camera you'd care to find, but it's not about protecting your property.

While Apple and others have made the leap to two cameras, ASUS have got one step further - with a triple sensor. The firm's new Zenfone AR has a traditional 23-megapixel sensor, alongside motion-tracking and depth-sensing cameras. It can combine four native 23-megapixel photos to create a single image --something the company is calling a 92-megapixel'super resolution' photo. The Zenfone AR has a 23-megapixel camera sensor, alongside motion-tracking and depth-sensing cameras, allowing it to scan a room and superimpose images on it. Asus has revealed a new smartphone which uses Google Tango 3D technology and allows users to experience augmented and virtual reality.

It could be a key part towards building a standalone VR headset, and more. Movidius has developed compact chips that already power DJI's Phantom 4 drones, enabling autonomous piloting. Intel's plans for a fully cordless VR headset with depth-sensing cameras, called Project Alloy, were unveiled at the Intel Developer Forum in August. In a press release from Movidius, CEO Remi El-Ouazzane says "our leading VPU (Vision Processing Unit) platform for on-device vision processing combined with Intel's industry leading depth sensing solution (Intel RealSense Technology) is a winning combination for autonomous machines that can see in 3D, understand their surroundings and navigate accordingly."
