Synaptics has been offering fingerprint sensor solutions for mobile devices for a while. But sometimes you want a little more assurance that only authorized people can unlock your phone, tablet, or notebook.
So now Synaptics is adding a multi-factor solution that combines a fingerprint reader and facial recognition.
If a device maker adopts the new platform, it doesn’t necessarily mean you have to use multi-factor biometric authentication, although doing so will probably make your device at least a little more secure.

The idea is that you can use the Android phone or Windows computer as standalone devices.

Want to stream music to a wireless speaker? There’s no shortage of options. But if you want to stream to multiple speakers at the same time, there are fewer options… and they tend to either be rather expensive, or require a Chromecast Audio-like dongle.
French startup Tempow wants to change that. The company has developed a custom Bluetooth stack that lets you stream audio from a smartphone or other device to as many as 7 Bluetooth speakers or headphones at once.

Analyze your golf swing, place your whole body in a VR world, and more.
Sgnl is a watch strap with a component that vibrates in order to send sound waves through your skin. Attach the watch of your choice, strap it to your wrist, hold your finger to your ear, and you should be able to hear well enough to make a phone call using your finger as a sort of Bluetooth headset.
At least that’s the idea. In practice, I found the demo I received at CES 2016 to be a little disappointing.

When Google launched its Daydream virtual reality platform for Android phones, the only smartphone that officially supported the feature was the Google Pixel (and Pixel XL, if you want to call that two phones instead of one).
Now there are about half a dozen Daydream-ready phones, although not all of them are available for purchase yet.
Google announced late last year that the Moto Z was compatible with Daydream headsets like Google’s own Daydream VR or other upcoming Daydream headsets (more on that below).

Bixi is a small device that lets you control other smart gadgets by moving your hands through the air. Want to adjust the volume of your speaker without touching it? Just move your hand toward or away from the Bixi sensor. Want to skip music tracks? Wave your hand left or right.
