OPINION - Say hello to mixed reality with Meta Quest 3: Tech and Science Daily podcast

The reviews are in for Meta Quest 3.

Gaming journalist for the Evening Standard, Vicky Jessop, shares her thoughts after getting special access to the mixed reality headset.

She also runs through the special features and what sets it apart from the previous models.

Although it tends to be hardcore gamers that are attracted to these headsets, Vicky says that the new possibilities available when it comes to its uses, could make it more attractive to a wider demographic.

The largest study of centenarian blood might have revealed some secrets to longevity.

The analysis found 12 blood-based molecules associated with metabolism, inflammation as well as liver and kidney function, that were also linked to ageing or mortality in previous studies.

Now, what do people like Schmeichel, Cech and Casillas all have in common?

Well, besides being among those considered to be the greatest goalkeepers of all time… they might actually perceive the world differently too.

A study suggests that goalies’ brains appear to be able to merge signals from the different senses more quickly - possibly explaining some of their unique and specialised abilities on the football pitch.

And the rest

‘Breakthrough’ study suggests running could be just as effective at treating depression with medication, scientists say some ultra-processed foods should be labelled ‘addictive’, and a man creates a ‘Furbionator 3000’ gadget after foxes & badgers continuously poo in his garden.
