2022 is here and there's plenty of tech we're looking forward to this year
kicking things off let's talk about new tv technology some interesting new panel
types are going to be making their way to store shelves over the course of the
year and one of the big ones we saw make its debut at ces was quantum dot OLED
now most consumers are used to thinking of quantum dot displays and OLED
displays as entirely separate from each other but qd OLED combines the best
underlying principles of both panel types a qd OLED has individual pixels
that produce their own light just like a traditional OLED but it also
incorporates green and red quantum dots
this means that each OLED subpixel only
emits blue light and that light can be selectively combined with the quantum
dots to create any color the display needs with a significantly wider color
gamut than regular oleds the result is a screen that has the perfect deep blacks
of a typical OLED but can also get a lot brighter than previous oleds for better
HDR and clearer viewing in bright rooms
lower manufacturing complexity and energy usage may make quantum dot OLED a
relatively affordable option in the years to come though if you want one
soon beware the early adopter tax if you
want to know more about how these new displays work we're going to have an upcoming Techquickie episode with more
details about qd OLED and other new panel types but for now look for sony
and samsung to bring these tvs to market before the end of 2022 assuming there
aren't too many supply chain issues let's move on to something from meta
love them or hate them their upcoming project cambria headset looks like it'll
be pretty dang cool it will actually be
able to track the movements of your eyes and face which will allow apps to
translate these movements onto your avatar so that interacting with others
in vr is going to be more natural not only that but eye tracking should also
improve the headset's overall performance because by tracking where
you're looking the headset can render only that part of the virtual space in
high resolution and use a lower resolution for the parts of the space in
your already blurry peripheral vision and if you want to bring the real world
into your vr experience cambria has color camera pass-through an improvement
on the black and white pass-through we saw on the quest 2. this could allow the
headset to serve as an augmented reality device where objects are placed onto an
image of the real world around you now we don't have pricing yet but zuck
himself noted that these new features would put cambria at the high end of the
price spectrum oculus quest pro has been floated as a possible final name for the
product but we don't know that for sure what we do know is mata is getting
serious about getting it to the market by the end of 2022
next up we've got something for all you gear heads out there we're talking about the ford f150 lightning pickup and no we
don't think they stole that nickname from MSI's line of high-end graphics cards the lightning is notable for being
america's first all-electric pickup truck from one of the big legacy
automakers even though it doesn't use any gas it looks like it's going to be
no slouch since it starts with a base horsepower of 426 and delivers
775 pound-feet of torque so it should be
able to provide enough muscle to tow an rv a u-haul or your mobile gaming den
ford also says its standard battery should keep the lightning on the road for about 230 miles though you can
splurge for a larger battery which will give you around an extra 70 miles for
longer journeys and of course you get that all-important
frunk to add on to the space that's already in the truck's bed the lightning
will start at just under forty thousand dollars and will look to have the
electric truck market mostly to itself for a while since tesla's cyber truck is
indefinitely delayed and gmc and chevy aren't expected to bring competitors to
the market until but if you don't have 40 grand lying
around that's no problem let's wrap up with something that's a little more on the budget friendly side the newest
revision of the nano 2 charger from anker it provides 100 watts of power and
thanks to its use of gallium nitride rather than traditional silicon it's
smaller than other charges with the same capacity it supports usb power delivery
3.0 pps so the fast charging will work with a fairly wide variety of devices
including laptops so it could come in handy if you've lost your notebook stock
power brick do be advised it can only charge one device at top speed at a time
despite having three ports so don't expect to quickly power up a whole fleet
of laptops with it but it's still pretty impressive given its diminutive size the
nano 200 watt hits the market in march for a hefty but not unreasonable 79
bucks what kinds of tech are you guys looking forward to this year let us know
down in the comments and whatever you've got your eye on here's hoping we aren't
dealing with an infuriating labyrinth where chip shortages and scalpers are
hiding behind every turn thanks to cometier for sponsoring this
