Silver wash Smart Screen microfibre cleaning cloths don’t just keep screen-based devices looking ‘box-fresh’; thanks to a silver ion antibacterial liquid treatment applied during the weave process, they also keep surfaces germ-free. Smart Screen claims that the antibacterial effect of the cloth lasts for up to 15 washes. Also suitable for cleaning reading glasses or camera lenses, the £9.95 cloth and pocket pouch come in a choice of six colours and can be ordered with corporate branding. https://www.smartscreen.store/ 01732 759725 04 Virus-free computers Laptop manufacturer dynabook has added antibacterial protection to the painted surfaces of its two lowest priced notebooks – the new 14in Satellite Pro C40-H for the budget-conscious professional or student and the updated 15in Satellite Pro C50-H, featuring a new processor, display and memory and storage options.

Linked to an Android smartphone via a wired USB-C connection, the glasses provide an IMAX- like viewing experience and a new way to see and interact with apps. With AR, users can browse the web, shop, watch video & TV, game, catch up on social media or work on a large ‘virtual’ screen, while still being able to see, move and interact with their surroundings. MR applications take this one stage further by overlaying digital content on top of the visible environment, blending real world and digital content and enabling the user to interact with virtual 3D objects. As part of their partnership, Vodafone and Nreal plan to jointly develop AR and MR applications. There is also an Nreal Light Developer Kit for developers to build their own MR applications.
