Snap is reportedly iterating on the next generation version of Spectacles — a smart glasses product it first launched in late 2016. The latest generation of Spectacles would enable users to view augmented reality (AR) effects through their glasses without the use of an accompanying smartphone, The Verge reports, and is part of a renewed push into hardware devices by Snap that could also comprise the launch of a camera drone. Snap has popularized AR with its Lenses, a signature feature that transforms selfies and scenes on smartphones with a variety of visual effects. The new Spectacles would appear to bring this capability to a wearable headset. That said, the reported Spectacles will initially target developers and creators rather than consumers, with the intention that developers create Lenses that will ultimately be used by the everyday wearer. The Spectacles evolution was first reported by The Information, which notes that Snap is likely to unveil the product at its Partner Summit developer conference on May 20. The Verge notes that there have been three generations of Spectacles to date, which predominantly serve to capture footage — with subsequent processing and editing being conducted on the Snapchat app. The most recent generation of…

LinkedIn will soon let people add their gender pronouns to the top of their profiles. The professional networking site announced in a blog post Tuesday a number of new features designed to let users “create a more expressive and inclusive profile.” Starting this week, LinkedIn accounts in the U.S., U.K., Canada, Sweden and Ireland will have the option to specify the pronoun that reflects their identity. “For many of us, expressing our authentic self is also about our pronouns,” LinkedIn’s global head of product, Timer Cohen, wrote. “They are core to our identity and how we want to be seen.” The platform, which has 738 million members in 200 countries and regions worldwide, is introducing an optional field at the top of a user’s profile, where people will be able to add their gender pronoun, which will be displayed in parenthesis next to the person’s name. According to Cohen, 70% of job seekers using the network “believe that it’s important that recruiters and hiring managers know their gender pronouns, and 72% of hiring managers agree and believe it shows respect.” LinkedIn users can now add gender pronouns to their profiles. (LinkedIn) “Clearly members want to feel empowered about how they…

(WJHL) – A Marion, Virginia man has been sentenced to 27 years in federal prison after he pleaded guilty to coercing underage girls into sending him explicit photos over Snapchat. According to a release from the Department of Justice, Hunter Royal, 23, was sentenced to serve 27 years in court on Tuesday. The release states Royal had previously pleaded guilty to one count of persuading, inducing, enticing, and coercing minors to engage in sexually explicit conduct for the purpose of producing visual depictions of such conduct.  “Royal exploited these minor victims, meeting them online, and is a parent’s worst nightmare.  This lengthy sentence ought to send a clear message to would-be online predators: your behavior will not be tolerated, and you will be brought to justice,” Acting U.S. Attorney Bubar said in the release.  “These cases are some of the most important that we do, and I am grateful for the hard work of Homeland Security and our other federal and local law enforcement partners, who will continue to work tirelessly to vindicate the interests of vulnerable victims…

There are a number of controversial stars of Teen Mom. Most of them are no longer on the show. Farrah Abraham was one of the original problem children of the franchise and was eventually let go from the show after branching into adult entertainment. Since then, she’s been making money through appearances, sponsorships, and her app. Recently, a fan noticed that Abraham’s LinkedIn page also said that she is a Masters of Liberal Arts student at Harvard. Here’s what Abraham had to say about that. Farrah Abraham | Amanda Edwards/Getty Images Does Farrah Abraham go to Harvard? Most people know Abraham from her time on 16 and Pregnant and Teen Mom. While on the show, Abraham wasn’t exactly recognized for her intellect. But her LinkedIn page recounts a very different version of Abraham. “I once was a Teen Mom kicked out of my home, struggling, depressed, & today, now I’m the Teen Mom whose known for decreasing teen pregnancies worldwide, who publicly speaks with national campaigns, has a successful national show that has made history and fame, and legacy for a network, executives, production company, and lives, and generations of cultures. I’ve opened multiple businesses and now the mom others…

Off-White masks on Snapchat Bitmojis Courtesy Photo Off-White is looking to augmented reality again for its partnership with Snapchat launching on March 31. The partners have created an AR Lens experience where users can virtually try on or style their Bitmoji Selfies with AR Off-White face masks inspired by physical masks from the Off-White spring 2021 collection, which are available on the Off-White website. Snapchat users can simply open the app, go to their profile and under Bitmoji, tap “Select Selfie” to choose a mask. “It’s important now, more than ever, to check in on your community, to ensure we’re keeping each other safe,” said Virgil Abloh, founder and creative director of Off-White. “My hope is that we encourage our joint global community to stay safe and mask-up, but also allow them to let their digital portrait reflect their IRL style and personality.” Off-White is the latest to partner with Snapchat for its Snap x Artist series, bridging reality and the digital world through creativity. Previous collaborators include Damien Hirst, Christian Marclay, Alex Israel and Harmony Korine. Off-White previously worked with augmented reality for its window displays at its Milan, New York and Las Vegas stores in 2019. The brand…

MOSCOW (Reuters) -Jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny went on hunger strike on Wednesday in an attempt to force the prison holding him outside Moscow to provide him with proper medical care for what he said was acute pain in his back and legs.The fate of Navalny, one of President Vladimir Putin’s most prominent critics, is in focus after he said last week that being woken up by a guard every hour during the night amounted to torture and that his appeals for medical treatment had been ignored.In a handwritten letter addressed to the governor of his prison which was posted to social media by his team on Wednesday, Navalny said daily requests for a doctor of his choice to examine him and for proper medicine had been ignored.“I really need a doctor. Every convict has the right (by law) to invite a specialist to examine and consult him. Even I have such a right and I’m innocent,” Navalny wrote in the letter.“I demand that a doctor be allowed to see me, and until this happens, I am declaring a hunger strike.”The IK-2 corrective penal colony 100 km (60 miles) east of Moscow did not immediately respond to a request for…
