With more and more wireless devices being fitted with wireless charging technology, it’s no surprise that charging pad would soon be integrated into everyday basics such as furniture.
On Monday, Ikea and smart speaker manufacturer Sonos announced that they were partnering up to bring two smart speakers to users.
Apple users will soon be able to see what furniture from IKEA fits their home using augmented reality.
They just about need this with the nightmare shop layouts, the one here, you legit have to go through the WHOLE bloody store in a single path to get anywhere.
But instead of fixing the terrible layout, so people can actually navigate by themselves they instead decide to design an app so you can find your way around...
Such a disgusting place.
Today Ikea is launching a pilot virtual reality app called the Ikea VR Experience as the first HTC Vive headsets begin to ship. The app, built using the Unreal Engine 4 from Epic Games.
I'm not really fond of integrated stuff, if you buy a wireless charger by itself and it breaks it's no big deal, if you buy a piece of furniture with it built in and it breaks, then what? It's too much of a hassle.
Everything will need charging by 2018, humans as well.
