​When naval divers need to know how to proceed underwater, they can't just pull out an iPad or a sheet of written instructions. That's why US Navy engineers are developing what's known as the Divers Augmented Vision Display. It's a head-up display that's built into a diving helmet.​

UpLamp utilizes your smartphone's LED flash to create a diffuse light source perfect for bedtimes. The accompanying app lets you control the light using hand gestures and turn it on and off with a clap.

When a company launches a major consumer tech product that goes without a successor for more than two years, it's usually a fair bet that it's gone to the gadget graveyard in the sky. But Samsung brought the Gear Fit back from the dead with a similar-looking sequel and a pair of earbuds.

Google engineers have been training the company's autonomous vehicles to pick up on impending collisions and use the horn as a tool to improve road safety, for human and robotic drivers alike.

The redesigned 2017 Elantra has taken a step forward in the compact sedan class. It’s not revolutionary so much as it is evolutionary, but there’s a lot to love about this new little car and what Hyundai has done to make it much more sophisticated and competitive.
