The craftsmanship on these earbuds is of the highest quality. The foam-style ear tips create a perfect fit inside your ear and are a vast improvement over the silicone tips offered by most TWS. When it comes to performance, there aren’t many earbuds that can compete with the WF-1000XM4. One of the defining features of these wireless earphones is the Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), which elevates your listening experience.
Bose QuietComfort
Price: Rs 26,990Bose has mastered the rectangular boxy design in their flagship offering, QuietComfort. The inner panel is made entirely out of silicone, aiding in active noise cancellation. The upper fin fits into the ridge of your ear to provide a secure fit. Bose QuietComfort offers 10 adjustable ANC levels, suited for every kind of environment. The earphones last up to 6 hours on a single charge with the charging case providing 2 additional charges.
Sennheiser Sport
Price: Rs 10,949Sennheiser has been consistently producing exciting wireless earphones and the Sennheiser Sport is no different. The case is bigger than the ones we usually see on TWS, but it comes with a loop on the side in case you want to hang it from your backpack. The earphones themselves have a boxy design. The black and bronze colour scheme looks quite appealing on the Sennheiser Sport. The earphones also offer 9 hours of playtime with an additional 27 hours of charging capacity in the case.
Sony Linkbuds WF-L900
Price: Rs 19,990The Sony Linkbuds WF-L900 come in a clamshell-style charging case, which is a fresh look at a time when most TWS try to play it safe in design. The earbuds themselves look nothing like we’ve ever seen before, coming with a donut hole right in the middle. Along with the audio driver section, the Linkbuds make an ‘infinity symbol’ design. The performance is exemplary on voice calls as well as the music playback. You may find similar performing TWS in this price category, but when it comes to the looks, the Linkbuds definitely stand out.
Apple AirPods Pro

It also comes with multipoint Bluetooth support and better connectivity with the Pixel smartphones.
Nothing Ear 1
Price: Rs 6,999If you’re looking for a truly unique look for your wireless earphones, there aren’t any products like Nothing Ear 1.

Each earpiece also has its own notification light that turns on when it’s charging inside the box.

The only downside to the Sony WF-C500 is the 10-hour charging capacity of the case, which can definitely be improved upon.
Jabra Elite 85t
Price: Rs 9,999The Jabra Elite 85t has a semi-open design with pressure relief vents, which prevent pressure from building up inside the ear. The silicone ear gels provide a secure fit in your ear.

Search giant Google has rolled out a fresh new update for Google TV that will speed up the loading of the Google TV homescreen and improve utilising a kid profile, loading Live tabs and more. To maximise the storage space on your device, a “Free up storage” menu has been added to the Settings.According to a new post on Google’s support forum a new software update for Google TV will improve its boot speed, performance, and other capabilities for managing storage on smart TVs. Last month, Google TV and Chromecast were introduced in India.While announcing the software update for Google TV the company said, “Since the launch of Google TV almost two years ago, our goal has been to deliver an experience that makes it simple and quick to access the entertainment you love, all in one place. We’ve heard your feedback and wanted to share updates on some improvements we’ve made over the last few months, and some that will be coming soon.”The Google TV home page, sometimes referred to as the For you tab, is the starting point for getting to your content as soon as possible. Google has now shortened the time it takes for the Google TV home screen to load at startup so you can start exploring episodes and movies faster. According to the company, this was accomplished through CPU optimizations and upgrades to cache management. These upgrades have begun to trickle out and will eventually be accessible across all devices.The For You tab experience has also been improved; thanks to better navigation, it is now easier to scroll through tabs and switch between them. You’ll see less of the loading animation while switching between tabs because the Live tab loads quicker. Now that Google TV consumes less RAM, you should have a better viewing experience where everything is more stable and goes a little faster once you’ve chosen what you want to watch!Updates have also been made to children’s profiles! The time it takes to switch to kid-friendly profiles and begin content surfing has been decreased because of improvements we made to image caching. In addition, there is no longer any delay between loading a child’s profile and launching an app.You can now quickly clear your cache and delete apps that you aren’t using from the Settings menu’s “Free up storage” section to maximise the storage space on your smartphone. This feature is already available on Chromecast with Google TV and will be added to Google TV-enabled smart TVs in a future system upgrade. You may get there by just going to Settings > System > Storage > Free up storage.In order to reduce the number of customers who get storage-related issues while attempting to install a new app, certain internal adjustments have also been made to Google TV’s handling of app installations. Additionally, a background-running automated procedure that frees up space on your smartphone so you can add more apps has been implemented.

There are quite a few indoor smart security camera players in the Indian market. A name that has been in the Indian market for years now is HIKVision. They not only have CCTV solutions for outdoors but also great monitoring cameras for indoors too, under the EZVIZ brand. Out of their factories, the latest to arrive is EZVIZ C1C-B CCTV camera for indoor surveillance. If you are in the market to purchase an inexpensive indoor monitoring camera, this is the EZVIZ C1C-B CCTV camera review you should read before making that buying decision.
In This Article
EZVIZ C1C-B indoor smart camera review: Design
Out of the box, the EZVIZ C1C-B CCTV camera looks like most in the bracket with its own design elements. It is a circular smart surveillance camera that has a superior magnetic base and can be placed on most metal surfaces and stays fixed. Yes, it is not a PTZ camera, so it will keep an eye on one direction only with a 108-degree field of view (FOV).
The main camera is attached to the base through a 360-degree rotating neck which can move on the X and Y axis as well. This is great if you want to put the camera at an awkward angle to keep an eye on a wider area. The EZVIZ C1C-B camera also has a large speaker on the back. Here users will also get to see the microSD card slot, USB Type-B charging point and the reset button. The front of the camera is dressed in black with the rest of the body in white. The front also has an LED indicator and microphone for a two-way conversation.
With the EZVIZ C1C-B camera, users also get a 5W charger with a super long 3-meter wire. Also, a metal plate is supplied in the box in case you do not have a metal base to place the camera on. Otherwise, you can set it straight in on a table as well, since the EZVIZ C1C-B smart camera has rubberised feet as well to keep it firm on a flat surface.
EZVIZ C1C-B indoor smart camera review: Performance
Moving to the performance of the EZVIZ C1C-B smart indoor camera, let’s first talk about its setup process. You would need to download the EZVIZ app on your device from App Store or Play Store for monitoring on your mobile or tablet. You can monitor the camera from anywhere in the world with an active internet connection.
Setting it up is very easy, you need to follow a few steps given in the guide that comes in the box. We already have an account with EZVIZ so those 2-3 steps were cut down for us, but if you are a new user, you would need to create an account. Just make sure your mobile and the EZVIZ C1C-B camera are on the same wireless network for it to work perfectly for the first time.
The EZVIZ C1C-B camera supports up to 256GB of microSD storage. We installed a 64GB of storage, which is good for up to 5 days of continuous recording. However, we opted for recording when the camera detects movement, which bumped up the days to about 14. We tested the camera in three stages, the day state when there is good indoor/outdoor lighting. The results here were superb since this camera supports 1080P FHD recording and things up to 60-70 feet were very clear.

However, in the second test (night mode), the visibility fell down to about 20 feet of clarity. Yes, there is an IR emitter in the EZVIZ C1C-B CCTV camera, but that is good for up to 20 feet, anything over that becomes a bit blurry. But still, it can capture good detail during night time too.
The third test was the two-way conversation. Here, this camera does shine. We were able to talk to the person on the side and hear them with ease. Though there was 0.5 second lag at times, still it worked well. The playback function works well on most counts, it is just when you want to play it at 2X, 4X or higher speed, it gives an odd bug at times.
EZVIZ C1C-B smart indoor camera supports 108-degree FOV, which is great as you can see almost everything as a human would see. Also, the camera uses H.265 standard to record, which has a superior compression rate and takes less pace yet provides a good FHD picture. With the device, the option of cloud storage is also available, but for that, you would need to pay an additional fee. EZVIZ claims that the camera only consumes 3W when operational, which is not bad.
Verdict
All in all the EZVIZ C1C-B indoor smart camera impressed us on various counts. Its picture quality, ease of setup and 2-way conversation capabilities. Just find any metal base or wall surface and place it, and start recording. Also, At Rs 2,750 it is a very good inexpensive option to pick up for your home. If you have elderly people, infants or pets at home, this is a great monitoring device for you. Over that, you can put multiple of these in each room of the house and monitor every camera from just one app.
EZVIZ C1C-B indoor smart camera Pros
Good picture quality
Uses less storage
2-way conversation

Ever since Netflix broke through, OTTs have become extremely common to the point that even broadcasters like NBC and Discovery have come out with their own online streaming platforms. OTT stands for Over The Top and refers to media that is streamed online without the use of cable or satellite. In this article, we explore what OTTs are, how they work, and what are some of the most popular OTT platforms in India and the USA.Read Also: Top 10 new Shows and Movies to watch on Netflix in August 2022

What is OTT?
As mentioned earlier, OTT stands for ‘Over The Top’ and refers to online media streaming platforms. OTTs cut off the middleman in cable operators and dish services, and directly provide you with the content through the Internet. The pricing may vary, depending upon the content being offered, geolocation, and the number of devices the service is being streamed on. You can stream content from an OTT on your TV, smartphone, laptop, or tablet.The content offered on OTTs is also different from mainstream broadcasting, due to the lack of ads, and the ‘bingeability’ that the platform is able to provide. As a result, there is a change in both the format as well as the substance.
Popular OTT platforms in India and USA
While there is a huge overlap in streaming services available in India and USA, both countries also have exclusive platforms that provide content designed for the local audiences. Netflix is the most popular OTT, not just in India and the US, but also in the rest of the world. The content offered by Netflix depends upon the location you’re in. While ‘Netflix Originals’ are available in every country, the acquired content from other production houses may vary across countries.India has one of the most cost-effective Netflix subscription plans, meaning the content you get for the price you pay is very economical in comparison to other countries. The cheapest Netflix plan in India costs Rs 199, and the number of titles hosted in the Netflix library is 5,917. This comes out at Rs 0.033 rupees (0.00041 USD) per title. By comparison, the price per title in the United States is 0.00133 USD.If you’re in India and are looking for content in local languages you can check out Indian OTTs such as MX Player, Sony Liv, Voot, and Zee 5. Certain OTTs like Peacock and Paramount+ are exclusively operating in the US for now, with plans of breaking into the Indian market in future.Here are some of the most popular OTTs in India and the world:
Can I access another country’s Netflix library using my Netflix account?
Yes, you can access another region’s Netflix library by using a VPN. Most free VPN services may not be cut out for this job, and you’ll have to pay for a premium VPN service that specialises in unlocking OTT content from different regions.
How can I access secret titles on Netflix?
There are mountains of content on Netflix and not every title makes its way to your home feed or category list. You can use secret codes to unlock hidden categories on Netflix, where you can find a diverse range of titles that you wouldn’t ordinarily come across on your Netflix homepage. You can read more about it here.
Are there ads on Netflix?
No, at present Netflix does not run any ads. Since it is a subscription service, an adless experience is one of the things you’re paying for. However, this may change in the future as Netflix has discussed hosting ads on its platform.
Which is the cheapest OTT platform in India?
At present, you can watch all content on MX Player for free, though you will have to endure ads. If you want an adless experience, you can pay an annual fee of Rs 499. ZEE 5 is also one of the cheapest OTT platforms in India with an annual subscription fee of Rs 699.

We recently got a chance to catch up with Mr Avneet Marwah, CEO, Super Plastonic PVT. LTD, who gave us some great insights into the SPPL business here in India, specifically the Thomson TV brand. There are going to be deals and discounts as well, which are right around the corner. Read our full tete e tete with Mr Marwah to know more.
How is the Thomson TV business doing in India? Any numbers you would like to project?
Thomson India has been performing very well. We are one of the bestselling TV brands in the online space and are counted amongst the top 2 online selling electronic brands. This has been possible because of our customers who have responded very well to each of our launches.
With respect to numbers, Thomson currently has a 5% market share, and we are aiming to sell at least half a million units this festive season.
There are many TV brands under SPPL, how does Thomson get the right exposure and the right amount of time from you and how are you excelling with this brand in India?
Thomson is the only brand in India that offers a whole range of home products and hence the launch of Thomson Home. Under that, we have our washing machines, air conditioners, coolers and of course our TVs.
Our strategic partnership with Flipkart has also enabled Thomson to shine through its competitors. Being on Flipkart gives us the right attention and maximum eyeballs. Year on year, in fact, we have been achieving our targets by great margins. In the near future, we will be adding more appliances under Thomson Home too.
What new and emerging features are being incorporated into Thomson TVs in India?
Thomson has been working nonstop for 6-8 months on some soon-to-launch TVs in the Indian market. These launches will offer state of the art technologically with many upgrades in the hardware too. We are very excited to see our customers’ response to these new releases. Some of these will be introduced during the festive season itself. Read Also:Thomson’s 32-inch Alpha Series Smart TV launched in India
Apart from this, there are many other projects in the pipeline, which is at par with global standards. The products will be very promising and will be offered at unbeatable prices thus giving direct competition to some luxury segment TV brands that offer something similar at very high prices.
With the festive season around the corner, can the consumer expect discounts and deals on Thomson TVs as well? Can you give a small glimpse to our reader?Thomson will surely be offering the best deals this year, during the festive season. With the last quarter being very flat in terms of demand, we have high hopes for the season. Customers will finally get to shop their favourite products at much-discounted rates and this may help boost the overall market sentiments too. Thomson is going to be extremely competitively priced, especially against the smartphone brands that have launched SMART TVs recently.
What does the road map of Thomson TV look like in India? And anything else you would like to add?
After a series of launches during the festive season, we are set for more. It is safe to say that the roadmap looks more than exciting for us. We have been working relentlessly on our OS and our hardware to bring all the best-in-class SMART TVs at really great prices. With our new products, we are surely on our way to democratising quality and technologically-enhanced TVs for all.
Also, Google has been a very supportive strategic technology partner for us. Soon SPPL will be going global, and we are already on a very advanced stage of that.

Since the first human civilizations were initially erected, humans have set themselves apart from the rest of the animal kingdom as the smartest. Though our strength, instincts, and natural predisposition towards hunting are lacking, it is our minds that have kept us in the game and have led to our eventual conquest of the planet (and hopefully, one day, beyond it).
The apex of our existence as a scientific species was hit with the industrial revolution, and it has only been developing and growing since. Today, technology is an inescapable aspect of our everyday life. And in many ways, it has made our lives a lot more tolerable, simple, and easier. We aren’t talking about advancements in medicine, agriculture, and transportation, without which our world could not function. But rather, we are talking about the simple, small, seemingly irrelevant things, that make our lives just a bit easier in the 21st century.

1. Information at our Fingertips
The first example we are bringing up is the omnipresence of information that the internet provides. The world wide web is impossible to escape. There are almost no electronic devices that don’t connect to the internet in 2022. And they are all easily accessible and can be purchased cheaply. Even if you do not have home Wi-Fi, there are so many cafés, establishments, or public networks that are easily accessible.
And what a wonderful tool the internet is. Whether you want to access information about sports from websites like this, or information on serious scientific articles using Google Scholar, or even pop history, science, and geography from one of the most popular information aggregators, Wikipedia. All of this information is available at your fingertips.
2. Online Shopping
Another way that scientific and technological advancements have changed humanity is through the creation of online shopping. Many people, still to this day, prefer to go store-to-store, checking out and trying out the products before they purchase them. However, for those whose time is limited, for those who don’t like large crowds, for those who are incapable of walking for a long time, or simply for those of us who are feeling a bit lazy on the designated shopping day, online shopping is a godsend.
Nowadays, we can access numerous online shops, most of which sell everything from clothes to tech. In the past couple of years, the introduction of online grocery shopping has even been introduced, where you can order your groceries and have them delivered to your doorstep. The history of online shopping is an interesting one, and even ten years ago the practice wasn’t as commonplace. A testament to how quickly certain industries can grow in the era of technology.
3. Helps us Maintain Contact
Lastly, and possibly the best thing about the development of technology is the creation of numerous social media sites, that enable us to maintain and rekindle friendships that may have veined due to time and distance. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, even email, and other similar websites help friends, lovers, partners, and co-workers maintain a relationship even if they were on different continents, let alone different cities or neighbourhoods. It is thanks to this feature of technology that the world has become a lot more accepting and embracing of other cultures. Thanks to the internet, average, everyday people can become exposed to foreign beliefs and peoples, and better understand these cultures. More importantly, it helps us to create relationships with people from all over the world and brings us closer together as individuals and as people.

The term ‘TRP’ gets thrown around a lot when talking about the popularity of certain channels and broadcast programmes, but what does it actually mean? The term itself stands for Television Rating Point and is a useful metric in determining the viewership of a programme. While it is not a flawless system, a closer look into its working can reveal the validity of the data it gathers and the limits of its usage. In this article, we explain what TRP actually is and how it is calculated.Read Also: Nothing Phone 1 Review: A statement piece
In This Article
What is TRP?
Television Rating Point (TRP) is a tool to determine how many people are watching a particular programme at a certain time. This data can be used to gauge the popularity of a TV show, which further helps the broadcaster to make executive decisions and garner advertising revenue. Advertisers use the TRPs to increase the reach of their ads by targeting programmes that attract the most eyeballs. Since the data also factors in the time duration of viewership, advertisers can also decide on the most beneficial time slots to run ads.The broadcaster can also use the TRP data to decide if a certain show needs a change in programming to appeal to a wider audience. If a show has promising TRPs, the broadcaster can also change its time slot to compete with shows on other networks. It is also integral in determining the revenue a show brings in.
How is TRP calculated?
The Broadcast Audience Research Council (BARC) is an industry body set up by various stakeholders that represent the broadcasters, advertisers, and advertising and media agencies. BARC calculates the TRPs on a weekly basis and works along the guidelines issued by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) and the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MIB).BARC employs several different methods to calculate the TRPs. The most common method uses the ‘BAR-O-meter’, which is a device that is installed in the television sets of the same audience to study what they’re watching at any given time. The data is measured every week and used to calculate the TRP.Another method called ‘Picture Matching’ uses the BAR-O-meter to record a small part of the video being watched on the television set. These pictures are later collected from the sample audience and used to derive TRP data.
How accurate is the TRP?
The strength of the data collected depends on the size and quality of the sample audience. When talking about a national metric, the sample audience has to be representative of the national population. Currently, BARC records data from 44,000 households to calculate the TRP. Many critics doubt the validity of this sample size for a population of over a billion people. In order to make the data more accurate, TRAI has recommended that BARC increase the sample size to 100,000 by the end of 2022.Read Also: Master Remote Working With These Tech TipsBARC is not the only body that calculates TRPs, although its ratings are considered to be the industry standard and are used by the majority of the stakeholders. Organisations like the Indian National Television Audience Measurement (INTAM) and Doordarshan Audience Research Team (DART) also carry out research on national TV viewership.

These come in a large cardboard box, which also has a USB charging cable, manuals and a 3.5mm auxiliary cable (to connect with an aux port), apart from the Audio Technica ATH-M20xBT headphones. When we saw the box, we thought these would be really heavy to wear, but once we got them on, they are not heavy at all, these are featherweight headphones with heavyweight sound.
Available in just one (Black) colour, we quickly took to assess its looks. These do look like most of the Audio Technica headphones in the category with its own differences. You get a fairly well-padded headband and ear cups. These are very comfortable to wear and not once did we feel a sense of flimsiness from them. Audio Technica branding can be found in the headband as well as its logos on the ear cups.
Each ear cup has a large 40mm audio driver within, more on them in the performance part. The left ear cup is where all the “key” action is. You get a power button, which is also the play/pause/voice call switch. With that, users get the volume control +/- keys, USB Type-C charging port as well as the 3.5mm audio port. A LED indicator and single microphone can also be found here.
The Audio Technica ATH-M20xBT come with a robust metal slider to adjust the headphones onto any type of head. Overall, we loved the look, size and fit of the Audio Technica ATH-M20xBT, we would have loved them even more if a carry case was also provided in the box.
Audio Technica ATH-M20xBT review: Performance
Coming to how the Audio Technica ATH-M20xBT perform. We had a mixed bag of emotions. Let us start by first the setting up process. The setup of these audio headphones is very easy. You just have to turn them on and they will fast pair with any Bluetooth device. We had a great time listening to our favourite tunes with them. We played everything from rock to classical and it gave us very less chance to bicker.
The sound is quite nice when it comes to mids and lows, highs, as well as the bass, could have been better. But our phone’s built-in audio equaliser did a mighty fine job in boosting both segments. Also, you can pair the Audio Technica ATH-M20xBT with 2 devices at once, yes it supports multi-point pairing. Just pair it with the first device, and turn off the first device’s BT. Pair it with the second device and then turn on the first device’s BT. Simple process. So, now you can enjoy listening to music on your laptop and receive calls from your smartphone, without switching devices.
There is passive noise cancellation available on the Audio Technica ATH-M20xBT. Active noise cancellation (ANC) is not there. These do a good job of keeping the outside noise out, which is the case with most over-the-ear headphones in the category. If they would have added ANC to the mix, it would have been a boon.

We played music via Amazon music, watched a movie on Netflix and played Asphalt 9: Legends and BGMI games using Audio Technica ATH-M20xBT. The experience was quite nice on the first two, but even better when gaming. The company does recommend them for gaming use as the latency is low. The shot-to-sound latency is actually very low and these did help us get that much-needed extra kill when gaming thanks to its fast sound.
A place where the Audio Technica ATH-M20xBT excels is battery life. The company claims users will get 60 hours of playback time and we got just about that. We used them for over 2 weeks and they ran out of battery after 12 days, which is not bad at all. Over that, they support rapid charge. A 10-minute charge gives its users 3 hours of battery life. It gets fully charged in about 1.75 hours. The LED indicator on the headphones will tell you if it needs a charge when it turns red. A voice also tells you each time you turn them on indicating medium, full or low battery.
Verdict
Overall, as said, the Audio Technica ATH-M20xBT did leave us with mixed bag of emotions. We did take them out for a run and slight rain fell on them, nothing happened to them, but we would not recommend splashing water on them as there is no IP rating on it. Nevertheless, when running these stayed firmly in place and we quite liked it. Also, the sound kept growing on us. Things like ANC and a carry case are missing, which could have been perfect for the price.
At Rs 13,500 Audio Technica ATH-M20xBT do have a great number of positives that outweigh the cons. If you want good sound or are looking for low latency wireless gaming headphones for professional gaming, you can pick them without thinking twice.
Audio Technica ATH-M20xBT Pros
Good audio and multi-point pairing
Comfortable and light to wear

The main camera is attached to the base through a 360-degree rotating neck which can move on the X and Y axis as well.

As mentioned earlier, OTT stands for ‘Over The Top’ and refers to online media streaming platforms. OTTs cut off the middleman in cable operators and dish services, and directly provide you with the content through the Internet. The pricing may vary, depending upon the content being offered, geolocation, and the number of devices the service is being streamed on. You can stream content from an OTT on your TV, smartphone, laptop, or tablet.
The content offered on OTTs is also different from mainstream broadcasting, due to the lack of ads, and the ‘bingeability’ that the platform is able to provide. As a result, there is a change in both the format as well as the substance.
While there is a huge overlap in streaming services available in India and USA, both countries also have exclusive platforms that provide content designed for the local audiences. Netflix is the most popular OTT, not just in India and the US, but also in the rest of the world. The content offered by Netflix depends upon the location you’re in. While ‘Netflix Originals’ are available in every country, the acquired content from other production houses may vary across countries.
India has one of the most cost-effective Netflix subscription plans, meaning the content you get for the price you pay is very economical in comparison to other countries. The cheapest Netflix plan in India costs Rs 199, and the number of titles hosted in the Netflix library is 5,917. This comes out at Rs 0.033 rupees (0.00041 USD) per title. By comparison, the price per title in the United States is 0.00133 USD.
If you’re in India and are looking for content in local languages you can check out Indian OTTs such as MX Player, Sony Liv, Voot, and Zee 5. Certain OTTs like Peacock and Paramount+ are exclusively operating in the US for now, with plans of breaking into the Indian market in future.
Here are some of the most popular OTTs in India and the world:
Google Street View is the most thorough and immersive way to explore a location from your desktop or smartphone. Street View offers real-life visuals and allows you to move around freely and view the location from different angles. Data collectors travel through these locations and capture images using a 360-degree camera. These images are later patched to create the ‘Street View’ experience.
Initially, Google Street View wasn’t available in India, but now that it has finally arrived after 6 years, users can view different locations from a real-life POV. Presently, Street View in India is available in a limited capacity, since it takes a while to map the entire geography. But you’ll be able to find the popular spots in Street View. If a location on the map has a blue line on it, it means that it offers Street View.
Step 3: Select ‘Layers’ at the bottom left corner of the screen and then select ‘Street View’.
You will be able to explore every aspect of the location from Street View.
Step 3: Select the box at the bottom left corner of the screen.
Google Maps will switch to Street View and you will be able to explore the location through a 360-degree lens.
Most famous tourist spots and world heritage sites offer extensive online virtual tours that you can access from your desktop. These tours are immersive and provide a great amount of detail. Some tours even include live video footage so you don’t miss out on any aspect of the travelling experience. Some of the popular virtual tours include the Louvre Museum, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Disney World, and the National Gallery in London.

Television Rating Point (TRP) is a tool to determine how many people are watching a particular programme at a certain time. This data can be used to gauge the popularity of a TV show, which further helps the broadcaster to make executive decisions and garner advertising revenue. Advertisers use the TRPs to increase the reach of their ads by targeting programmes that attract the most eyeballs. Since the data also factors in the time duration of viewership, advertisers can also decide on the most beneficial time slots to run ads.
The broadcaster can also use the TRP data to decide if a certain show needs a change in programming to appeal to a wider audience. If a show has promising TRPs, the broadcaster can also change its time slot to compete with shows on other networks. It is also integral in determining the revenue a show brings in.
The Broadcast Audience Research Council (BARC) is an industry body set up by various stakeholders that represent the broadcasters, advertisers, and advertising and media agencies. BARC calculates the TRPs on a weekly basis and works along the guidelines issued by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) and the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MIB).
BARC employs several different methods to calculate the TRPs. The most common method uses the ‘BAR-O-meter’, which is a device that is installed in the television sets of the same audience to study what they’re watching at any given time. The data is measured every week and used to calculate the TRP.
Another method called ‘Picture Matching’ uses the BAR-O-meter to record a small part of the video being watched on the television set. These pictures are later collected from the sample audience and used to derive TRP data.
