IAAPA 2025 is approaching fast, and while we will soon have a big preview of all of the games which we know will be there once the show is about to start, we also like to have these per company posts.

Improving bicycle safety with voice-activated turn signals

Arduino Team — November 2nd, 2025 Bicycle safety is always a concern, but is a particularly big problem in cities where cycling is less common. Drivers in cars don’t expect to encounter cyclists and don’t know how to share the road properly.

Introducing Arcade Heroes’ Arcade Hall Of Fame

Most gamers should be aware of the World Video Game Hall of Fame, the Strong Museum of Play’s official collection of video games deemed culturally and artistically important. Plenty of games that either released in or originated from arcades have been inducted into that group (for a recent update to their exposition, Defender joined the hall), but many more have not, even if they are quietly significant.
