| The FDA just approved the first prescription video game — it’s for kids with ADHD Posted: 15 Jun 2020 05:22 PM PDT  Akili Interactive It might not look like much of a video game, but Akili Interactive's EndeavorRX, formerly Project EVO, may go down in history: it's the first video game that can legally be marketed and prescribed as medicine in the US. That's the landmark decision from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which is authorizing doctors to prescribe the iPhone and iPad game for kids between ages eight and 12 years old with ADHD, after it underwent seven years of clinical trials that studied over 600 children to figure out whether a game could actually make a difference. According to the company's favorite of the five studies, the answer is yes: one-third of kids treated "no longer had a measurable attention deficit on at least one measure of objective... |
| Apple says the App Store created $517 billion in commerce last year Posted: 15 Jun 2020 03:34 PM PDT  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge Apple on Monday touted the findings of a new study from economic consulting firm Analysis Group that says the App Store was responsible for $517 billion in estimated total billings and sales of both physical products and services and digital goods in 2019. Of that amount, Apple says it takes a 30 percent cut of just $61 billion of those sales, as that's the portion of total billings that constitutes digital-only goods. That includes the biggest category, mobile games, as well as in-app purchases, subscriptions, and unit sales of paid apps. In-app advertising, also largely dedicated to mobile gaming, makes up another $45 billion. Of everything else — from ride-hailing software to food delivery apps to mobile retail shops from Best Buy... |
| Ferrari ruined its ‘Rendez-vous’ revival with digital image stabilization Posted: 15 Jun 2020 03:00 PM PDT  Ferrari has released a six minute video called Le Grand Rendez-Vous, a modern spin on C'était un Rendez-vous, the classic 1976 single-take short film that features a driver recklessly tearing through the dawn-lit streets of Paris. While there was zero chance Ferrari was going to recreate that rogue run through the City of Lights, the homage — which takes place in Monaco and features F1 star Charles Leclerc — is already being criticized for its soullessness. The thing that really kills it, though, is how smooth the footage is. This may seem counterintuitive, as stabilized footage is typically a cinematic hallmark. And the original C'était un Rendez-vous was filmed by a gyroscopically stabilized camera mounted to the front of the... |
| Instagram’s CEO says the platform is examining how its policies affect black users Posted: 15 Jun 2020 02:46 PM PDT  Illustration by Alex Castro / The Verge Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri said Monday that the platform is taking steps to "better support the black community" and will review how it recommends content and deals with harassment and verification. Mosseri didn't provide specifics about what the Facebook-owned photo sharing app will do, but he laid out some key areas where Instagram has heard complaints from black users about bias. "The irony that we're a platform that stands for elevating Black voices, but at the same time Black people are often harassed, afraid of being 'shadowbanned', and disagree with many content takedowns, is not lost on me," Mosseri said in a statement. Mosseri said Instagram is "hearing concern" about whether it suppresses black voices and if it treats... |
| Peloton will now allow users to identify as nonbinary on its app Posted: 15 Jun 2020 02:41 PM PDT  Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge Peloton announced today that users now have the option to select nonbinary as their gender, as part of the company's broader commitment to Pride Month. Nonbinary users will appear as "NB" on the leaderboard, where they compete against other people using the app. Users will still be able to filter the leaderboard by age and gender. Nonbinary gender options are still uncommon in many tech products, although Peloton's move could push other companies to make the option standard across platforms. Facebook has supported nonbinary gender designations since 2014, and a number of dating apps have already introduced the feature, including Tinder, OkCupid, and Grindr. Even emoji now have nonbinary options, with both Google and Apple releasing... |
| Apple updates Developer app to add Mac support ahead of online-only WWDC Posted: 15 Jun 2020 02:17 PM PDT  Image: Apple Apple has released a Mac version of its Apple Developer app, a week before its Worldwide Developers Conference kicks off. Apple initially launched the app in late 2019, but it was only available to iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV users. Much like the iOS version, the macOS version of the Developer app provides various resources from developer-related news to videos showcasing new features for Apple operating systems. The update also adds a new interface to search for previous WWDC sessions, as well as the ability to download and favorite content you are interested in viewing later. The app is also another option for those to tune in to the upcoming WWDC event, which Apple announced will be online-only this year, with the event set for June... |
| We’re never going to get meaningful data on self-driving car testing Posted: 15 Jun 2020 02:13 PM PDT  The US Department of Transportation launched a new voluntary program to collect and share data from autonomous vehicle operators. Companies testing AVs on public roads are invited to submit information to the government, which will then publicize it online. But given the voluntary nature of the program, safety advocates say the effort is likely to fall short of providing useful data to the public. There is currently no federal rule requiring AV companies to submit information about their testing activities to the government. Instead, a patchwork of state-by-state regulations govern what is and isn't disclosed. California has the most stringent rules, requiring companies to obtain a license for different types of testing, disclose... |
| Game developers could make the next Pokémon Go with new widely available Google Maps tools Posted: 15 Jun 2020 01:36 PM PDT  Illustration: Alex Castro / The Verge Google is opening up its Google Maps Platform to everyone so developers can incorporate Maps data into their games, the company announced on Monday. Its tools let developers use Maps data to build games that let you explore a modified version of the real world, similar to Niantic's Pokémon Go. (Niantic, once a startup within Google, has its own developer toolset for making AR games that use live camera and 3D mapping data, called the Niantic Real World Platform.) Google first announced the tools in March 2018, but they were only available to a "limited group" of studios and only 10 games have been built with them so far, according to a Google blog post. The company says indie studios and other developers expressed interest in using the... |
| Like Zoom, Microsoft Teams will let you see 49 people at a time this fall Posted: 15 Jun 2020 01:29 PM PDT  Microsoft is expanding the number of participants visible during a Teams meeting to 49, the company announced in a blog post Monday. The maximum number of participants in a private Teams meeting is 250; rival Zoom's paid plans allow up to 500 participants at a time. But the 49-person on-screen view — which Microsoft announced it was planning less than two weeks ago — matches Zoom's max. Teams will roll out the 49-person view as a preview this month and to all users in the fall. It's one of several features Microsoft is adding to Teams. It says the goal is to support its Microsoft for Education products, which the company claims has more than 150 million students, faculty, institutional leaders, and teachers actively using it as part of... |
