Samsung Unveils New Soundbars
Samsung Electronics introduced its latest flagship soundbars, the Q-series HW-Q990F and HW-QS700F, at CES 2025. The HW-Q990F features dual active subwoofers with a compact cube design, advanced AI-driven features like Dynamic Bass Control, Q-Symphony for 3D surround sound, and Active Voice Amplifier Pro for clearer dialogue.
The HW-QS700F stands out with its gyro-sensor technology, allowing it to adapt seamlessly to vertical or horizontal setups. Its sleek design complements both wall-mounted and tabletop displays while delivering immersive audio.
Both soundbars will be available in Australia in the first half of 2025, with pricing to be announced.
Digital Twins Transform Tapestry
Tapestry, the parent company of Coach, Kate Spade, and Stuart Weitzman, has scaled its use of digital twins—virtual replicas of physical products—across design, marketing, and consumer research. Leveraging Adobe Firefly Custom Models, the company trained AI using proprietary assets to generate brand-aligned content. This innovation enhances the design process, speeds up product development, and informs data-driven strategies. A key milestone was achieved when Firefly generated a near-identical virtual replica of the popular Coach Tabby handbag. With Firefly Services, Tapestry aims to further streamline internal processes, showcasing the growing role of generative AI in the fashion industry.

Liberica, distinct from Arabica and Robusta, represents only 1.5 per cent of global coffee supply. Known for its resistance to rust and disease, as well as its ability to grow at low altitudes, Liberica is poised for growth in a warming climate. Its versatile flavour profile makes it ideal as a Single Origin or blend.
