A new report published by Research and Markets projects that the Internet of Things (IoT) security market will increase from $6.89 billion in 2015 to $28.90 billion by 2020. “With the technological advancement and increasing application of networking, the concern for security has become a global phenomenon and its intensity is increasing every day,” the researchers explained in a report summary.
The uncanny valleys of VR
Oculus Chief Scientist Michael Abrash says the industry needs to improve the way individuals are represented – in all their uniqueness – within a VR framework. “Other people are what we are most highly tuned to, because they are what we care about most – and for that same reason, representing them believably is one of the greatest challenges,” he explained in a statement quoted by UploadVR.
PULPino is a 32-bit RISC-V processor
Engineers at ETH Zurich and the University of Bologna recently debuted the 32-bit PULPino, an open-source microprocessor based on RISC-V architecture. The PULPino – taped out as a 65nm ASIC – is now available for RTL simulation and FPGA mapping.
DEFCON organizer talks IoT security
Ted Harrington, partner at Independent Security Evaluators and organizer of the annual DEFCON hacker conference, is not at all optimistic about a secure IoT. As Harrington tells Inverse, IoT security “will get worse, potentially a lot worse, before it gets better.”

From consoles to VR
The Atari 2600 (or VCS) – which hit the nascent video game market back in 1977 – packed 128 bytes RAM and an 8-bit MOS 6507 CPU clocked at a mere 1.19 MHz. According to Wikipedia, the RAM was tasked with handling run-time data, which included the call stack and the state of the game world. There was no frame buffer.
