FORME Life Fitness Mirror
While it looks like a sleek, full-length mirror, beyond the reflective surface is a complete personal strength studio. Created by Swiss Designer Yves Béhar and entrepreneur Trent Ward, the FORME Life comes in two modes — a Screen-Only Studio and a Full Studio with resistance pulleys that fold away from sight when not in use. Both versions feature a diverse library of body and mind exercises to suit every individual training style and need. To ensure you get the most out of every workout, machine learning and AI technology track your progress and adjust the intensity or increase weights as your fitness levels improve, while stereoscopic two-way cameras and human-centric computer vision keep your form and technique in check. The device is expected to ship this fall and you can secure your place in line with a pre-order in the meantime.

When George Romero's Night of the Living Dead launched the zombie revolution, one important thing was missing: The copyright information on the film's title card. Under then-current law, the film entered into the public domain and was free for anyone use or directly lift — and that's how zombies became a billion-dollar industry. Unlike Universal with their lockdown on monsters like Frankenstein, anyone can make a zombie flick — making the genre one of the most popular choices for aspiring filmmakers worldwide.
The Color of Game of Thrones
Winter is coming. If fact, it's already here, and the color palette of Game of Thrones has changed with the seasons. Vox broke down the colors of every episode of every season and analyzed them to see how the change — and just like winter, the show is getting darker all the time.
