Buskers Engage Audiences Virtually Amidst the Phases of Safe Re-opening
  • A pilot initiative between the National Arts Council (NAC) and Bigo Live to offer buskers an opportunity to bring the arts to audiences during the COVID-19 period
  • Viewers get the chance to enjoy engaging and fun performances by eight Singaporean buskers from 29 to 30 May between 8:00pm to 9:30 pm (SGT) and on 31 May between 8:00pm to 9:00pm on the Bigo Live app

SINGAPORE, May 26, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Buskers in Singapore have had to take a temporary break from busking on the streets since the Circuit Breaker period kicked in. Even with the gradual easing of measures, Singaporeans may not be able to enjoy the vibrant busking acts on the streets as we used to yet. A pilot initiative between the National Arts Council (NAC) and a Singapore-based live streaming platform, Bigo Live, aims to change that by going online with virtual busking.

The SGLivehouse virtual busking sessions will take place over three days from 29 May to 31 May 2020, between 8:00pm – 9:30pm (Singapore Time) on 29 May to 30 May, and between 8:00pm – 9:00pm on 31 May, on the Bigo Live app. Eight buskers will be part of the pilot, with a 30-minute segment each to present their original performances to audiences. The initiative will also provide training to buskers on how to go digital and live stream their talents to a global audience. It will also enable the buskers to earn some income during this period as Singapore gradually resumes activities safely.

Jill-Marie Thomas, one of the buskers participating in this pilot initiative, said: "We are excited for this opportunity to share our talents with audiences online while earning some income. As we have had to pause all busking activities and cancel our gigs due to COVID-19, we certainly miss bringing our music to Singaporeans and interacting with passers-by live! We will keep our heads up and continue looking for new and creative ways to bring the arts to people."

Ms Elaine Ng, Senior Director of Engagement and Participation at the NAC adds, "Many of the artists including our buskers, have used technology to digitalise and create innovative content and to reach audiences in exciting new ways. Through this pilot initiative that allows buskers to virtually engage audiences from Singapore and the world, we hope everyone will get to enjoy #SGCultureAnywhere as if they were walking along the streets of Singapore." 

Mike Ong, Vice President of BIGO Technology said, "Bigo Live is pleased to collaborate with NAC to bring about this meaningful pilot initiative to show our support and stand in solidarity with the local performing arts community. This collaboration allows us to provide an alternative platform for buskers amidst these trying times. We encourage Singaporeans to show their support to our fellow buskers by tuning in to their performances from the comforts of their homes."

Viewers from Singapore and all around the world can tune in to the live streaming sessions and engage with the buskers as well as the community by using various features on the app. Viewers will also be able to send virtual gifts to the buskers as a form of appreciation for their performances. To enjoy these busking acts, download the Bigo Live app and search for the Bigo ID: "SGLivehouse" in the app.

The full performance schedule of the participating buskers are as follows, with the last 30-minutes of each day’s session for the live chat.

SEOUL, South Korea, May 26, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — KT Corp. (KRX: 030200; NYSE: KT), South Korea’s largest telecommunications company, announced today that it is using 5G self-driving carts at its logistics center, enabling a nearly 50 percent reduction in employees’ travel range for loading and transporting inventory.

5G autonomous carts transport smartphones and other devices to designated locations, as requested by the control center and the person in charge, at KT’s Seobu Distribution Center.
5G autonomous carts transport smartphones and other devices to designated locations, as requested by the control center and the person in charge, at KT’s Seobu Distribution Center.

The new system of the leading Korean telecom provider is the first use of next-generation smart logistics vehicles in the Korean communications industry. Two types of 5G self-driving carts, "NarGo" and "TarGo," are being employed in collaboration with Twinny, a company specializing in indoor autonomous robots and online platforms.

KT incorporated its autonomous intelligent vehicle (AIV) service to NarGo and Targo. AIV service is an integrated control system that processes instructions and assesses operating conditions by using pre-installed maps and real-time information on automated carts. It also facilitates latency-free collection and analysis of operational data as well as statistics compilation.

"In preparation for the post-COVID era, technologies to minimize person-to-person contact are increasingly demanded throughout industries," said Choi Kangrim, Head of KT’s Connected Car Biz Center. "By applying AIV service based on our advanced communication networks and platforms in a wider scope of industries and leading relevant technological advancement, we at KT will do our utmost to help our customers enjoy the benefits in their everyday lives."

The AIV usage follows meticulous experiments in minimizing person-to-person contact between employees while improving their productivity at work. As a result, KT explained, loading cellphones and other items for transport requires 47 percent less travel range by employees at KT’s Seobu Distribution Center.

The self-driving logistics vehicles and AIV service are based on KT’s integrated mobility platform, dubbed "5G Mobility Makers." The platform is at the core of KT’s connected car services, which feature automated driving control by collecting and analyzing data produced by different vehicles. Utilizing this capability can lead to real-time remote control of AIV cloud control centers developed by partner companies and various business sites. This will help minimize movement of and personal contact between employees and boost their throughput at large-scale distribution centers as well as small-scale warehouses.

Beyond the application of its autonomous driving technology at the Seobu Distribution Center, KT will continue its research and development efforts to lead the technological advances required to reduce person-to-person contact throughout the logistics industry in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In response to the pandemic, KT will start providing 5G autonomous carts and control systems for small-scale logistics operations at hospitals, libraries and various other industrial sites.

Frenetic Firefighting Multiplayer, Embr, Hits Early Access for Steam and Stadia

Put out fires and save lives…or have a laugh trying

LONDON, May 25, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Curve Digital and Muse Games are excited to announce that frantic, frenetic, firefighting multiplayer Embr launches on Early Access for Steam and Google Stadia May 21st.

Frenetic Firefighting Multiplayer, Embr, Hits Early Access for Steam and Stadia
Frenetic Firefighting Multiplayer, Embr, Hits Early Access for Steam and Stadia

Check out the latest Embr trailer here: https://youtu.be/2BjiEmVejdk

Developed by Muse Games – the studio behind the award-winning Guns of Icarus OnlineEmbr is a fantastically fictional look at a world where the gig economy rules the roost and the general public now stand ready, phones in hand, to respond to firefighting emergencies.

Players will either play solo or work together in online teams tackling blaze after blaze to earn tips from clients, picking up the ever-so-crucial 5-star rating in order to earn cash, upgrade tools, and hopefully becoming the ultimate ‘have-a-go hero’ firefighter.

This is no like-for-like simulator, however. Embr is an intentionally satirical, tongue-in-cheek look at the rise of venture capitalism, with its license for allowing players to solve problems creatively resulting in toss-the-resident-out-of-the-window-onto-a-trampoline style solutions that just wouldn’t fly with a real fire fighting force.

"With Embr, we set out to shine a satirical light on the gig-economy – not in terms of the people making those deliveries and driving those taxis, but rather the companies at the top powering this particular brand of venture capitalism and deregulation," says Howard Tsao, Team Lead at Muse Games. "On a gameplay basis, we also wanted to see just what mayhem would occur if the untrained masses headed out with a hose and tried to put out fires in the same way people deliver take-out or drive people around in makeshift taxis. The end result is just as fun and frenetic as we thought it would be. It just makes you appreciate what a difficult and almost impossible job real-life firefighters do."

Embr offers players a variety of missions to earn money and upgrade their firefighting tools and lease better vehicles and fire trucks, all while dealing with competition from the Canadian firefighting startup Hosr. Staying competitive, however, relies on players working together, planning firefighting and rescuing in dense environments with complex systems interactions; water, fire, gas, electricity, and structure integrity all have a role to play.

Embr also offers cross-platform multiplayer, with Steam players able to play with their Stadia counterparts and vice-versa.

Curve Digital is also proud to announce that Embr will be brought to life by CORSAIR iCUE software on PC. The room will be lit up as players fight fires, scale buildings, and rescue people from danger. When certain events are triggered in-game, the dynamic RGB lighting on CORSAIR iCUE-compatible components and peripherals will change to compliment the action in play.

Embr launches on Steam Early Access on May 21st for $19.99/€19.99/£17.99 with a 20% discount in launch week. Players can expect multiple free major content drops in the months after launch significantly expanding the game. Muse Games will also continue to diligently work with the community to further shape the Embr experience based on feedback and suggestions.

FinTech Alliance SaaS Solution Marks Change in Korean Finance Market

12CM partners with Korea’s biggest search engine provider, Naver, to launch cloud-based FinTech solution, expects change in the domestic FinTech market landscape

SEOUL, South Korea, May 22, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — 12CM (One-two-cee-em), the smart stamp software platform provider and a member company of the Born2Global Centre, has recently inked a collaboration deal with Naver Business Platform (NBP). 12CM has been an active member of the Born2Global Centre since 2018.

FinTech Alliance SaaS Solution Marks Change in Korean Finance Market
FinTech Alliance SaaS Solution Marks Change in Korean Finance Market

NBP is a fully independent subsidiary company of Naver Corporation specializing in cloud IT infrastructure and services (Naver being Korea’s largest search engine as well as operating LINE, the #1 chat service in Japan, Taiwan, and Thailand). The deal will see the Echoss Stamp developer’s Open API and Finance Microservice implemented in a FinTech SaaS solution aimed at financial institutions.

Traditionally, such financial services have required strict security measures making cloud-based service development difficult. The fact that cloud technology makes use of a wide variety of frameworks and open source code means that financial institutions have found adoption of these technologies less than ideal.

That being said, NBP is the first cloud operator in the S. Korean domestic market to receive top marks from the Financial Security Institute for infrastructure security. 12CM itself will be providing its service security level protocols, developed and tested over years of R&D and real-world applications, to this collaborative partnership.

Large financial institutions already offer a variety of remote services, such as mobile apps and over-the-phone consultation. However, moving these to the cloud will allow not only faster implementation of entirely new service channels (such as mobile web apps) but also alliance service channels enabling cooperation. The collaboration between 12CM and NBP is slotted to provide a home in the cloud to accommodate these innovative new services.

"Financial institution’s recent trend of ‘non face-to-face’ service is in a state of constant innovation and like financial institution’s websites, the demand for convenient financial service via diverse cooperation channels is always increasing. NBP and 12CM are planning to provide a secure SaaS solution that emphasizes security and flexibility in financial services to the market as soon as possible,” said Sang Young Han, director of NBP.

Jeong Gyoun Han, 12CM of CEO said, "For our initial loan service model, the whole process including security, identification, Open API integration, as well as certificate submission will be structured as a complete self-service. The SDK itself will also be provided in order for users to customize their own mobile web pages. For a smooth and successful launch, in addition to our alliance with NBP, we have also tapped UniFinTech Corp., a consulting company specialized in mobile commerce and IT."

It is a fact that there is a global trend of more and more software companies moving onto the cloud, and while doing so adopting more SaaS or other "as a service" business models. This Fintech service alliance in the Korean domestic market marks the next step of mobile evolution in the finance IT industry, and we look forward to what it may mean for the future of Fintech.
