Samuel Wasserman, LiveU’s CEO, said, “Launching this ground-breaking product has taken on extra relevance, with the industry experiencing social distancing and budget limitations. There is an acute and growing need for high-quality, reliable and cost-effective solutions, supporting remote production (REMI) workflows. The LU800 offers unlimited possibilities for customers to enrich their productions and cover more events at a fraction of the cost of traditional transmission methods.”

The LU800’s smart 5G-bonding technology enhances the sustainability of video quality in sports stadiums and other venues, taking advantage of the increased bandwidth, lower latency and greater speeds offered by 5G networks. Our successful live 5G broadcasts with leading US, APAC and European cellular providers, together with our ongoing participation in EU 5G collaborative projects, have strengthened our knowledge and expertise in this field, enabling us to enhance our algorithms and solutions accordingly.” 

With the LU800, LiveU now offers a full end-to-end contribution, production and distribution solution. The unit’s multi-camera production streams are fully managed by the LiveU Central cloud-based management platform and automatically fed into the LiveU Matrix IP content management and distribution workflow.

Parenting Digital Natives

Leave a comment

*This article is contributed by Nana Murugesan, Managing Director, International Markets, Snap Inc.*

Parenting the next generation always raises a new set of challenges as well as opportunities. After all, new parents are raising their children in a world that is very different from the one they experienced in their own childhood. Over the past couple of decades, technology has also changed things more fundamentally with parents today raising a generation who at times can feel as if they are speaking an entirely different language to them.

In his 2001 paper “Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants,” the author Marc Prensky said that the rapid arrival and dissemination of digital technology at the turn of the century has created a generation of digital natives who have grown up immersed in technology and who are separated from the generations before who have come to learn technology.

Today’s parents face the challenge of parenting digital natives in a rapidly evolving world that their children understand and adapt to far better than themselves. But while it can sometimes feel like they are inhabiting different worlds, there are ways in which parents can bridge the gap.

Celebrity parents such as Reese Witherspoon and Julianne Moore have realised that Snapchat is a cool way of communicating with their teenage children. The platform can be part of any parent’s digital set up to maintain and develop an intimate relationship with their digital native offspring

Understand their thoughts to understand their actions 

A study conducted by Snap Inc, The Friendship Report[1], explored friendships in four distinct age generations, from Gen X to Gen Z. While both Millennials and Gen Zs can be classified as digital natives, there are some key differences in how they interact and present themselves in the (digital) world.

From The Friendship Report, 37% of Gen Z in Malaysia was found to be more selective over the people they let into their close circle of friends, as opposed to Millennials, who are comfortable sharing intimacies beyond the borders of their close friends.

This is also reflected in differing preferences for social and messaging platforms. While social networks are built to curate a digital representation of one’s self, Snapchat’s emphasis on privacy by design offers the ability to control who has access to your Snaps, is one of the reasons Gen Z’s prefer it over other, more public, platforms. Local Gen Z (27%) are more reluctant than Gen Y (56%) to share life updates publicly on Facebook.

At Snapchat, we have put a great deal of thought into how to empower young people to engage creatively, safely and positively with their close friends when online. Our app was built with privacy at its core — starting with ephemerality — and designed to combat the online popularity contests fuelled by other platforms. In line with that, Snapchat was deliberately designed to be free from public vanity metrics such as likes, comments or shares. Our focus is on creating fun and surprising experiences that make snapping with your best friends fun. We strongly believe that there are different types of screen time and that we should be judging quality and not quantity.

Get on their wavelength

While the familiar trope of parents attempting to be fun, hip or cool will outlast us all, there are ways to learn and understand your digital native’s language. One way is to meet them as an equal and show understanding, which begins with putting away judgement and nostalgia about “the way things were”.

One of the best ways to get to know someone is to find an activity to share. While Snapchat’s audience is predominantly made up of Millennial and Gen Z digital natives, there’s plenty to interest everyone, not just the teens. Create an account and explore the messaging app, which offers entertainment via Discover and Snap Games, and AR experiences through Lenses. Why not move your family group chat over to Snapchat, so you can discuss and celebrate genuine, private family moments with full control over what gets shared outside the group?

Things they don’t teach you in school

In today’s day and age where information is available at the tap of a finger, we have access to high resolution videos of the highest highs, and the lowest lows of humanity. It’s important not to be overwhelmed, and to tackle this anxiety-inducing state of affairs by educating ourselves and our children. Teach them to be discerning consumers who critically assess the information they gain over the internet. One key step is in learning to be discerning when choosing news outlets, which is a lifelong practice.

Discover is a curated platform, with shows and news coming from trusted news sources, and what you are served isn’t based on friends activity – preventing the widespread dissemination of fake news, or creating an echo chamber.

Parenting often involves having one foot in the present and another in an unknown future. While all parents want the best for their children, we can learn to be nimble, and collaborate with our digital natives. Along the way, they might teach us a thing or two about this brave new world, though they can’t imagine a time before cellphones were a gateway to the rest of the world.

icometrix launches its icompanion platform for people with multiple sclerosis

Leave a comment

LEUVEN, Belgium and CHICAGO, June 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — icometrix, the world leader to extract clinically meaningful data from brain scans, is proud to have launched the icompanion platform and phone application for people with multiple sclerosis on World MS Day!  icompanion is a medical device and is currently available in English, French, German, and Dutch.

To support people with multiple sclerosis, icompanion provides an easy and secure app to track symptoms, treatments, and physician visits. Users can also obtain educational information on the meaning and quality of their brain scans by uploading their MRI scans onto the platform. With this, icompanion provides a solution to log events that occur between neurologist visits, by means of day-to-day symptom-tracking and standardized questionnaires (patient-reported outcomes).

“As a neurologist, you see a patient only a couple of times a year and we know that a lot of valuable information is lost in-between,” says Dr. Helmut Butzkeuven, neurologist at the Monash University in Melbourne, and director of MSBase, the largest global multiple sclerosis registry. “To make informed clinical and treatment decisions, it is important to have a complete picture of how a patient is doing,” Dr. Butzkeuven continues. “Medical devices such as icompanion can greatly help in democratizing care, since today, patient care depends on where you live and who cares for you,” Dr. Butzkeuven concludes.

“icompanion helps me keep track of my symptoms. Even if they seem insignificant, they are crucial in helping me communicate with my physician and prepare my visits. I think it’s great that by using icompanion, my data can also support researchers in their fight against multiple sclerosis. To win this battle we need everyone’s help, and together we are stronger,” shares Roberto Paolella, living with MS for 15 years.

“Offering care based on data and objective measures is crucial to move towards more personalized and precise medicine for people with neurological disorders,” says Wim Van Hecke, CEO of icometrix. “That is why we founded icometrix and developed the CE-labeled and FDA-cleared icobrain MR and CT brain measures, which are becoming standard of care. Through icompanion, the gap between doctor visits is bridged with clinically meaningful and validated data. The seamless availability of the icompanion data to the health care provider is very important in this context,” Wim Van Hecke states.

About icometrix 
icometrix is the world leader in software solutions to obtain clinically meaningful data from brain MR and CT scans for patients with neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis, brain trauma, epilepsy, dementia, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, etc. The fully automated icobrain software from icometrix is FDA cleared and CE labeled and leverages artificial intelligence to quantify disease-specific brain structures. Today, icometrix is internationally active in over 100 clinical practices. Alongside this, icometrix works with healthcare providers and pharmaceutical companies on the evaluation of drug trials for neurological diseases.

PatSnap develops new intelligence product to help advance innovation and R&D in material sciences

Leave a comment

PatSnap anchors new R&D capabilities on Material Science in Singapore.

SINGAPORE, June 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — PatSnap, a global leader in innovation intelligence, is helping to spur innovation and R&D in the material science industry with the development of a new intelligence product. This product will leverage PatSnap’s recent partnership announcement with CAS, a division of the American Chemical Society specializing in scientific information solutions, and equip IP and R&D professionals in the material science industry with actionable R&D intelligence that can help shorten the new material innovation cycle significantly. 

The Singapore government has been a key partner to PatSnap, having supported its expansion in Singapore in 2017. This was for the enhancement and development of an R&D centre in Singapore, which has served as the hub where a number of PatSnap’s signature products have been developed. 

“The foundation we built in 2017 allowed us to quickly develop and grow our leading AI-powered R&D product, Discovery, which is now used by over 8,000 customers world-wide,” said CEO & Founder of PatSnap, Jeffrey Tiong. “Our new product will combine world-class data, AI power, and our ability to connect the right dots, to enhance and advance industry innovation.”

“Going forward, we will enrich our R&D innovation technology with a specific focus on the needs of the material sciences space. This sector is rapidly growing, especially with advancements in AI-driven material innovation,” said Markus Haense, CTO & Head of Research at PatSnap. “Furthermore, the current global COVID-19 pandemic has elicited a special need for efficient material developments (i.e. masks, ventilators or antimicrobial materials). This calls for a requirement to explore biomaterials, and other tools of materials research, to accelerate a solution that can provide antimicrobial activity, to catch the virus and kill it within seconds, which can include antimicrobial polymers, bio plastics, organic or inorganic nanomaterials, metal oxide nanoparticles or ceramics. As always, materials research plays an immense role in finding these solutions.”

PatSnap intends to hire a team of local, best-in-class AI professionals to spearhead the development of the new product, which will be rolled out globally in 2021.

“We are delighted to see PatSnap advancing innovation in material science with the continued development of R&D intelligence products,” said Mr. Kiren Kumar, Chief Digital Industry Officer from Digital Industry Singapore. “PatSnap is a great example of a local company that has scaled quickly into a global organization, providing tangible value to the IP and R&D community through their products and creating new jobs in deep tech roles. We look forward to their continued growth  in the area of innovation intelligence.”

SHENZHEN, China, June 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — vivo today unveiled the X50, X50 Pro, and X50 Pro+, the all-new vivo X50 series of flagship smartphones, which feature professional-grade camera technologies that revolutionize the mobile photography experience.

The X50 series is a realization of vivo’s commitment to user-centric design and innovation. Featuring cutting-edge stabilization, night mode, zoom, and portrait technologies, X50 series smartphones enable users to capture stable and high-quality images and videos in a wide range of scenarios, making every shot a masterpiece. The design of vivo’s X50 series draws from natural elements and futuristic aesthetics, aiming to complement the active lifestyles of consumers. With professional photography capabilities, stunning design, and smooth performance, the X50 series pushes the boundaries of high-end flagship smartphones.

“Guided by vivo’s deep insights into consumer needs, and underpinned by our advanced technology, we crafted the X50 series to provide a professional photography experience to our users. The X50 series’ stable shooting capabilities, outstanding lenses and sensors, and overall advanced camera system allow users to capture all of life’s stories with professional quality,” said Spark Ni, Senior Vice President of vivo. “As the first X series products that will be made available to international markets, we are excited to share the best of our innovative technology and design concepts with people around the world.”

Mobile Photography, Redefined

The X50 series integrates professional photography technologies. To reduce shaking, the main camera of X50 Pro is equipped with an industry-leading Gimbal Camera System, allowing users to take clear photos and videos while in motion, even at night. Modelled after a full-size professional gimbal, X50 Pro’s built-in gimbal module moves in the opposite direction of shaking motions, providing increased stability for the main camera. This system also widens the rotation angle and anti-shake area compared to popular stabilization methods, resulting in super clear images. The Gimbal Radar, an on-screen animated ball that reflects the gimbal’s movement, lets users know when the frame is stable. vivo’s motion-deblur algorithm, customized sensors, and continuous focus tracking further enhance image and video clarity.

The X50 series consists of true photography flagship smartphones. X50 Pro has a versatile camera setup with one front camera and four rear cameras. X50 Pro and X50 Pro+ both feature a periscope lens that supports 60x Hyper Zoom, and the main camera on X50 Pro+ features 1/1.3 inch ISOCELL GN1 sensor, leading to photos of breathtaking detail.

The X50 series features Super Night Mode and Astro Mode, which together enable users to capture stunning photographs of both city and country scenes at night, while Super Wide-Angle and Super Macro functions help create professional-quality photos in a wide range of scenarios. vivo’s Portrait Mode, powered by a 4-layer masking algorithm, allows users to separate the subject from the background and apply separate effects for a more refined result.

Sleek Performance and Design

In addition to its professional photography capabilities, the X50 series delivers overall flagship performance. The series supports 5G connectivity, allowing users to stay online with super fast speeds and low latency. Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865+X55 processor, X50 Pro+ provides fast computing speed and smooth multitasking capabilities. The series features a high screen refresh rate of 90/120Hz, displaying crisp images, movies, and games without smears or blurs.

Reflecting vivo’s design-driven innovation, X50 series smartphones are built with flexible screens, which are slimmer, lighter, and more durable than traditional screens. X50 is the slimmest 5G phone ever, measuring only 7.49mm thick. HDR 10+ technology delivers a bright and vivid display, and AG Frosting on the glass surface creates a soft and delicate touch. The Gimbal Camera System is also designed in the shape of an eye, serving as a unique design element on the rear of X50 Pro.

vivo TWS Earphone Neo Complement the X50 Series with Ultimate Audio

vivo is also launching the TWS Earphone Neo. Built to provide a high-quality audio experience that meets the needs of everyday music lovers, the wireless TWS Earphone Neo have a customized 14.2mm ultra-large driver unit, delivering a more powerful and full-bodied sound, as well as a bio-fiber composite diaphragm to enhance audio details.

The earphones are powered by Qualcomm’s 4th-Generation TWS platform, the QCC3046, which offers low latency, high precision, and a stable listening experience, as well as the latest Bluetooth 5.2 technology with a maximum range of 10m.
