This moves ahead of episode two of the final season release. Telltale’s The Walking Dead Suffer the Children is set for release on September 25.

Telltale and Netflix earlier this year during E3 2018 had announced a partnership where both the companies will work on a game based on 'Stranger Things' TV series and "Minecraft" Netflix series.

Google might be testing Color Pop, manual bokeh effects in Google Photos

<img alt="" src="https://images.fonearena.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Google-Photos-1024x603.jpg" /> Google might be testing new Color Pop, along with manual bokeh effects.  as some users are reporting to have gotten the new editing tools The Color Pop keeps the focus of the photo in color and desaturates the rest of the shot. The manual bokeh lets you do something similar by blurring the background instead of desaturated. It also lets you tap to change the focus and adjust the strength of the blur effect. Google is probably testing these features together because the underlying processing is similar. Photos will have to know the difference between the subject and background. This feature will only work with regular photos, not those taken with depth effects enabled. Since it is in the early stages of testing, the feature is currently buggy; the Color Pop seems particularly rough. This means that there might a lot of work that needs to be done before these features roll out widely to everyone.

<img alt="" src="https://images.fonearena.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Pixel-Stand-e1537593192843.jpg" /> Given the number of leaks, rumors, and reports in the past few weeks, we already know pretty everything that is there to know about the upcoming Pixel series flagships. It is also rumored that Google might be launching an accessory called 'Pixel Stand' which is a charging accessory for Pixel 3.  The tear down of the latest version of the Google app reveals a possible first look at the Pixel Stand. A brief animation within the app is currently hidden shows off a phone on a dock going through a slideshow of pictures. While it doesn't exactly show all the details about the product, it does give brief details.   The dock will likely work when the phone is in portrait orientation; lining up with the earlier leaks. The animation further reveals that it will also include some sort of slideshow function; similar to Google Photos “Photo Frame” functionality on smart displays. Another animation in another version of the Google app teases a notification functionality. It shows messages, alarms, calendar notifications, and music. However, the exact functionality is still a mystery. Google is all set to unveil its Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL smartphones on October 9th.

Google introduces new 6DoF Daydream controller; experiments with new see-through mode for Daydream

<img alt="" src="https://images.fonearena.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/6DoF-Daydream-controller-1024x576.png" /> Google has announced a new set of experimental features for developers to use on the Lenovo Mirage Solo. It said that it is adding APIs to support positional controller tracking with six degrees of freedom or 6DoF to the Mirage Solo. The new see-through mode gives you the ability to see what's right in front of you in the physical world while you're wearing your VR headset. The 6DoF tracking lets you move your hands more naturally in VR. It also created an experimental 6DoF controllers that use a unique optical tracking system to help developers start building with 6DoF features on the Mirage Solo. Instead of using expensive external cameras and sensors that have to be carefully calibrated, this system uses machine learning and off-the-shelf parts to accurately estimate the 3D position and orientation of the controllers. Google says that it has already put these experimental controllers in the hands of a few developers. The new See-through mode takes advantage of  Google's WorldSense technology, and since the tracking cameras on the Mirage Solo are positioned at approximately eye-distance apart, you also get precise depth perception. It is also bringing the ability to open any Android app on Daydream device, so you can use your favorite games, tools ... <div class="feedflare"><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=ojdWsToCgEE:aCl1Mm4pRJU:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=ojdWsToCgEE:aCl1Mm4pRJU:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?i=ojdWsToCgEE:aCl1Mm4pRJU:V_sGLiPBpWU" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=ojdWsToCgEE:aCl1Mm4pRJU:D7DqB2pKExk"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?i=ojdWsToCgEE:aCl1Mm4pRJU:D7DqB2pKExk" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?a=ojdWsToCgEE:aCl1Mm4pRJU:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img border="0" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/fone-arena?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" /></a></div> <img alt="" height="1" src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/fone-arena/~4/ojdWsToCgEE" width="1" /><br /> <a href="https://www.fonearena.com/blog/264143/google-6dof-daydream-controller-see-through-mode-daydream.html">Read Here»</a>
