Smart glasses attracted a lot of attention at last week’s Consumer Electronics Show, with a range of devices on display that combine lightweight frames with functionality such as heads-up displays and AI-powered assistants.

Le 2 février 2024, Apple lançait le Vision Pro avec un grand battage médiatique. Depuis, le fabricant espère toujours que son casque de « calcul spatial » généralisera enfin l'usage de la réalité virtuelle ou mixte.

Adobe has unveiled a new Firefly “bulk create” feature that lets content designers make changes to thousands of images once, automating actions such as resizing assets and replacing backgrounds at scale. Up to 10,000 JPG or PNG images can uploaded to the Firefly Bulk Create tool and accessed via the Firefly browser app. Users can then opt to remove the background for the images, swap in another background image uploaded to the app, or generate a new background using Adobe’s Firefly AI models.
