The Wacom VR Pen was revealed here at the tail end of 2020 with creative intent. This piece of equipment was created to work in a virtual reality environment, but also works on 2D surfaces, as it's made with much of the same tech as an otherwise non-VR Wacom stylus. This pen works with its own "independent tracking system that works with major Head-Mounted Displays."
This week's most massive 3D printer made for consumers is the Peopoly Phenom XXL. Much like Phenom printers released in the last few years, this printer is large - but this one's even bigger than the most massive printer Phenom's made before. Peopoly saw that people enjoyed being able to 3D print objects on a large scale... so they dared to go bigger!
Today Adobe updated a whole bunch of products, with a bunch of new features - but there's one that stands out in a BIG way. The Adobe Photoshop Subject Select function has been in play for a while now - but only now, here, with this latest update, can is really, truly select the hair of a human subject. It's one of the most difficult parts of any Photoshop user's experience, and certainly one of the most time-consuming activities a person can initiate. Adobe's just made the whole process work like a snap.
The FLUX Beamo was revealed today as a compact, easy to use CO2 laser cutter and engraver.

This device has an 11.81 x 8.27-inch work area and cuts with a diode laser across a wide variety of materials.
The Adobe Creative Cloud monthly subscription plan with cheapest cost was, up until this week, approximately $10 USD. That plan was the "Photography plan" with 20GB of cloud storage. Now, according to many users, that plan's disappeared, and the new least expensive Adobe Creative Cloud subscription cost is approximately $21 USD.
It seems that the display market has more or less plateaued when it comes to squeezing pixels into the same amount of space as before. As such, it is finally audio’s turn to emphasize how equally important it is in immersive experiences. From Hi-Res audio to Creative’s new Super X-Fi, speakers are starting to become more sophisticated than ever before. But what about your trust, portable headphones? Creative does have an answer for that with the SXFI AIR, its first headphones to support its nascent audio technology.
At CES 2019, Samsung C-Lab (Creative Lab) is bringing 8 new projects dealing with Artificial Intelligence - and 8 more spin-offs, too. Included in the mix are such oddities as Tisplay, an in-video virtual ad service, and an ASMR sound recording project called "aiMo." SlashGear's got the details - and we'll have the up-close and personal photos and/or video at CES 2019 when the time comes too - let's take a peek.
With the Brush Bounty feature shown at Adobe MAX 2018, users of (whatever app this will be in) will be able to "paint" moving elements. This feature is in a very experimental sort of stage - you'll see what I mean when you look at what the feature looks like right now. It's not necessarily DEFINITELY going to make its way to a final Adobe product, but we can most certainly hope that it's headed in that direction.
Forget 160 characters. GIFs and videos are the new thing in social media and the Interwebs. Creating those, however, aren't exactly easy unless you've got a knack for video editing. Or you have tools that simplify the task. The latter is what Adobe is aiming for with the new Premiere Rush. Revealed as Project Rush a few months back, this new member of Adobe's suite practically puts an "all-in-one" video editor in the cloud, ready to export your latest masterpieces to YouTube, Facebook, and more.

In this first collection are the Dell UltraSharp 32 4K, 49 and 34 Curved, 24, and 27, the lot of which are made with creativity and productivity in mind.
A new Adobe Creative Cloud app was revealed this week at VidCon 2018, an app called Adobe Rush. This is a video editing app, but better than that, it's a video editing app that works on multiple platforms and stores data in the cloud. Adobe's positioning this app as the best place for video editing individuals of all sorts to start their video editing journey - but they also want people who use multiple devices to use it, so it's... kind of for everybody.
This week the folks at Adobe released a set of updates for their Creative Cloud apps aplenty. The biggest update was for Adobe XD, software made to mock up and create user interfaces for a wide variety of end-use purposes. With the latest update, Adobe XD is able to work with Photoshop and Sketch assets and design files directly - right from one to the other. No more manual conversions to symbols - now's the time for copy and paste!
