VR gears are dream come true for gamers. This technology isn’t just used for playing games and watching movies and videos but it has got huge scope in other fields of E-learning and training’s, architecture designs and city planning.The famous VR headsets in the world are those prepared by Oculus which has transformed 2D gaming into 3D virtual reality.
We all are well aware of Samsung VR gears but following is a list of other VR headsets developed by different companies available in Pakistan.
Google Daydream
Google Daydream View VR headset is compatible with Pixel and Pixel XL smartphones and is powered by Android 7.0 Nougat.It is 30% lighter than similar devices and is designed to fit over eyeglasses. It supports apps like YouTube, Street View, Play Movies and Google Photos.
Goblin VR Headset
Goblin VR headset is a foldable VR headset you can cram into your pocket. Goblin VR headset is far from high-tech like, but the POBOaka “Pop-Out Black-Out” setup certainly makes it interesting. The neoprene design makes it more flexible than hard plastic units like the Gear VR, and it is built to handle devices up to 6-inches in size. There’s a conductive button on top to give you a bit of control, but that’s about it in terms of features.
Oculus Rift Gear VR
The Rift delivers on the dream of consumer VR with captivating content and a fully-integrated hardware and software tech gadget designed specifically for hard-core gamers and developers thus forming impeccable virtual reality. One needs a machine with a Core i5-4590 or faster processor, NVIDIA GTX 970 or AMD 290 or faster graphics, and at least 8 GB of RAM to get the most out of the headset.
Alcatel Vision VR Headsets
Alcatel Vision VR Headset has no space for inserting your smartphone, but it comes with a built-in 3.8 inch screen, octa-core processor, 3 GB RAM, and 32 GB storage with support for Bluetooth and LTE.Even though the screen size is tiny comparing to today’s standards, the pixel density is really high at 425 ppi.
Unfortunately, as the day passes the so-called mainstream phenomenon of generation gap is increasing in Pakistan, and sadly it is not subjective anymore, it is actually affecting our family values, morals and the relationships. It all started with the advancement in technology. Although, the emergence of tech and innovation has managed to create multiple opportunities and opened new ways for the current generation, but it has also emotionally and mentally detached them from their parents.
There was a time when the ultimate role models of children were their parents, relatives or neighbors. But everything’s just changed. The Millennial now found that missing parental love in friends, drugs or sex. And on the other hand, as the Islam emphasizes, “Humsayon k Huqooq,” got certainly lost in the culture of materialism. People now no more bother to even meet or know their neighbors. According to the recent news, it has been found out that the teenagers in Islamabad have been engaging in drugs, do you really think increase use of drugs is the children’s fault but not their parents? The parents certainly stopped giving their children the “right” attention when they needed it, and eventually it led them to this. Attention doesn’t meant restricting their growth, but actually the spiritual, mental and emotional connection between parents and their children.
The solution to this generation gap is very simple; the parents. They are now more in interested in the success of career than success of their relationships. By that, I certainly didn’t mean that they should not have a career of their own, or keep children and marriage as their major priority. All I am emphasizing is on the “work-life balance” that is now un found in the current era. If the parents start connecting to their children, and start understanding their children from their perspective, everything could be solved in no time.
Earlier this year, we reported that Mobilink Jazz has acquired Warid. While both companies are still in the process of integration, Mobilink has started 4G LTE trials.
An official of Mobilink told business recorder
customer trial is being offered in selected parts of Islamabad and Rawalpindi that will further expand to other parts of the country incoming days.
The users falling in the selected region can simply connect their devices with 4G connection. Well if you are a citizen of Islamabad or Rawalpindi and your device is 4G LTE compatible you can try your luck.
The data charges during this trial service is not mentioned and we have not received any official word either. Only the subscribers falling in the coverage area have been informed about the charges through an SMS. We may assume that no additional charges will be applicable during this trial period but it is only our guess.!
Our resources also informed us that
jazz is aLREAdy issuing 4g lte compatible sims to its customers
Oh well, with the beginning of this trial services we can safely assume that the 4G LTE will be available to every customer shortly.
4G LTE Giants Ready To Face Some Competition
It looks like the current 4G champs Zong and Telenor, are about to face some serious competition now. Currently 50 million people are using Mobilink-Warid network and we might see a dramatic increase in the number of subscribers after the official release of this service.
Mobilink 4G LTE packages will be announced very soon. We will inform you about the packages as soon as an official announcement is made. We know that before the merger, Warid was offering lightening internet speed with its 4G LTE service. If somehow, Jazz manages to keep reasonable rates for the data connection, it will attract plenty of new customers.
Safe to say “The future is here”, don’t get me wrong I am not talking about aliens taking over earth or UFOs flying everywhere or humans going on trips to other galaxies, what I am talking about is Tesla autopilot, a system Tesla motors has introduced in its cars.
You might be familiar with autopilot mode in airplanes, where pilots can push the button and sleep and do whatever well you can do that in cars too. I am not talking about Pakistanis, we are still way behind.
Think about the possibilities, I mean you can just put your car on autopilot mode and just take a nap or play video games or have dinner with your girlfriend, mind the bumpers there some roads got them.
It is a major breakthrough in tech industry and Tesla planned it way before. In 2014 they put cool things in cars like sensors, cameras and everything that didn’t seem of any use at that time. What these things did was that they collected loads of data and find patterns and stuff. Later on after a year for an extra amount of $4,250 people having these cars with these sensors received a software update that enabled them to not let anyone or even themselves to drive their own cars. This update put all those sensors in work and made driving driver-less. The cars can now adjust speed, change lanes and even park themselves just with a tap on screen.
The update was named Tesla 7.0 but I guess the name ‘autopilot’ is catchy so people just stuck with it.
Wait no life isn’t all about sunshine and rainbows, it will beat you to the ground and blah blah, what I mean is that it’s not like Tesla’s autopilot is perfect, reports are that the cars can be hacked and some of them are even involved in accidents. Thing is it’s just a start and Tesla are working on glitches as we speak.
I just hope Pakistanis too build some roads and start their own automobile industry for starters and bring autopilot in this one.

It’s sad, disturbing and terrible to even put into words how scary depression is and how badly it affects the academic life. Of course, I can say it so determinedly, because I have been through it. And, trust me most of us experience depression at least one stage of our college. However, unfortunately, some of us are not even aware of the fact that we are depressed and just consider it as some “casual sadness or stress,” but when it begins to affect our professional, academic or personal life we realize how destructive depression is. But why is it so difficult to identify depression at an early stage before it starts to undermine our academic growth and achievements? Why our surroundings cannot sense the change in our behavior, and they mistake it merely as some stress? The problem is the lack in awareness regarding mental illnesses, which is upsetting many student lives these days that we are not even aware of. Depression not only affects our academic life, but also acts like a stubborn hindrance in our development. It’s so unnerving to say that even finishing daily chores becomes challenging for depressed students. Ultimately, it deteriorates their achievements, grades, university interactions, and participation in class.
The major reason is our university life that demands for dealing with multiple responsibilities at a single time. Trying to fit in, getting good grades, balancing personal and academic life, increasing network, focusing on extra-curricular activities and planning future – everything all at once gets so overwhelming that eventually leads the students to go under depression. And as depression is still a taboo in third-world countries, especially Pakistan, so giving the proper treatment and therapy to the students also becomes a huge trouble. This can’t just be solved by praying 5 times a day, or taking anti-depressants. The damage done by depression is more than that, but our parents fail to realize it and give such advice may only reduce depression at a very minor level or just not at all. Then what to do? Yes, you the one reading this, only you can make a difference. Only you can stand for yourself and get out of this complexity. From a personal experience, I know how depression really works. It makes you question yourself, your self-worth, messes up with your self-esteem and eventually kills the child in you. It makes you lose the most significant aspect that shapes up our existences, the purpose.
If you are currently going through a depressive episode or have been through, first of all I want to tell you that everything will be okay. I promise that. Trust me; you are not being lazy or self-interested. Your productivity doesn’t define you. You’re coping, and you should. At least to live that one, big dream you always wanted to experience. You’re doing the best you can.
And for your surroundings, let them know you need your space. Use that personal space to discover yourself, find a new hobby, learn a new skill, watch the sunrise, start a new season, pick up your favorite genre and read a book related to it, meet new people but don’t let it ruin you. Depression is one sadist joke. And you’re more than that.
As my final point, I would like to urge everyone reading this, please don’t judge someone based on their achievements or criticize them if they’re going slow in their career. You never know what they are going through. Just be kind and empathetic. Depression heavily impacts the achievements of college students, and it’s time we start talking about.
