    The passthrough on Apple's Vision Pro gives users all the fid=
    elity
    and depth perception they need to comfortably see what they're doin=
    g
    and navigate safely on foot. Its limited field of view and poor
    low-l=
    ight visibility could pose issues when driving. While critics of
    the devi=

    Vision Pro may =
    actually make users more aware of their surroundings as
    their eyes are al=

    OPEN-SOURCE SECURITY CHIP RELEASED (3 MINUTE READ) [8]=20

    The OpenT=
    itan coalition has announced the first commercial silicon

    called Earl Grey, f=

    cryptography modules i=
    n a self-contained microprocessor. It uses a
    security protocol called Roo=
    t of Trust, which provides an on-chip
    source of cryptographic keys that i=
    s inaccessible remotely. As part of
    the project, OpenTitan developed a fr=

    design that provides rules for documenta=

    and quality standards, and a governance stru=
