L’Oréal Big Bang Beauty Tech Innovation Program Ignites Innovation Across North Asia

Leave a comment

Trailblazing Initiative Expands to Hong Kong SAR and Taiwan Region, Cementing L’Oréal’s Leadership in Regional Beauty Tech Open Innovation

SHANGHAI, June 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — L’Oréal’s groundbreaking Big Bang Beauty Tech Innovation Program (Big Bang) is now officially active across all of its North Asia markets with the momentous launch in Hong Kong SAR today, ushering in a new era of beauty innovation for consumers in the region and putting L’Oréal North Asia Zone’s “Beauty Triangle” strategy in action. The strategy seeks to maximize synergies and accelerate collaboration, leveraging the unique and powerful North Asia ecosystem and the transversal synergy of China-Beauty, Korea-Beauty and Japan-Beauty.

First launched in Mainland China in 2020, Big Bang embraces open innovation to develop disruptive beauty solutions in partnership with startups and innovators. The program fosters the co-creation and co-development of innovative beauty products and experiences. Its expansion to Japan and Korea in 2023, followed by recent launches in Hong Kong SAR and Taiwan, underscores L’Oréal’s commitment to spearheading cutting-edge beauty solutions throughout North Asia. The program’s success has also inspired its launch in the L’Oréal South Asia Pacific, Middle East, and North Africa region just last month.

Each market tailors its Big Bang program with a unique theme, reflecting regional strengths and fostering local partnerships. L’Oréal Taiwan initiated its recruitment for Big Bang in March, focusing on a “Green Beauty Consumer Journey.” Through collaboration with Taipei Computer Association (TCA), the program champions local sustainability innovations for a circular economy, eco-friendly design, and enhanced consumer engagement.

L’Oréal Hong Kong’s recent launch introduced the city’s first open innovation accelerator dedicated to the beauty industry. Partnering with the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP) and Business France Hong Kong, the program prioritizes “Customer Experience Transformation.” The goal is to craft immersive, multi-sensory experiences within brand spaces, elevating customer interactions and bringing brand stories to life in captivating new ways.

L’Oréal Japan and Korea both celebrated successful first years of the program, with participants gaining significant recognition and several already collaborating with L’Oréal. Building on this momentum, L’Oréal Japan will continue its strategic partnership with the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry to advance research and innovation (R&I) in cutting-edge skin and hair care technologies. Similarly, L’Oréal Korea, having formalized its collaboration with the Ministry of SMEs and Startup through an MOU at Viva Tech 2023, will deepen its focus on R&I while expanding the program with a dedicated digital track.

As the origin point of the Big Bang program, L’Oréal China continues its trajectory of impactful progress, covering comprehensive tracks including Future Science, Phygital Consumer, Operation 4.0, Gen AI and Sustainability. Fostering increasingly sophisticated projects and achieving tangible results. This is exemplified by the recent Viva Technology event, where CITIBIOTECH, a French startup specializing in 3D skin printing and winner of the Big Bang China French Channel, signed a strategic MOU with “Oriental Beauty Valley,” a Chinese government-affiliated incubation organization. This partnership will pave the way for CITIBIOTECH’s successful entry into the Chinese market. This milestone represents the first achievement stemming from a partnership agreement signed by L’Oréal, Business France, and the Oriental Beauty Valley during French President Emmanuel Macron’s state visit to China in April 2023. 

Launched in 2021 with Business France as a strategic partner, the Big Bang China French Channel empowers cutting-edge French startups to expand their reach into the Chinese market. It has successfully recruited around 50 French startups to participate in the Big Bang China program by 2023.

Since its inception, Big Bang has engaged over 2,000 companies, brought more than 50 business projects to fruition, and fuelled real-world innovation. A prime example is the nanochip technology developed by a previous Big Bang China participant, now featured in Lancôme’s RENERGIE NANO-RESURFACER| 400 BOOSTER, debuting at VivaTech.

Big Bang provides startups and SMEs with an invaluable platform to scale their businesses, connect with government agencies, industry leaders, and investors, and showcase their innovations on a global stage at events like the China International Import Expo (CIIE) and Viva Technology. L’Oréal’s investment in Shinehigh, winner of the 2022 Big Bang China program, exemplifies the company’s dedication to nurturing and accelerating promising beauty tech ventures.

Honoring Every Father: Rokid Recreates Warm Moments with AI and AR Technologies

Leave a comment

HANGZHOU, China, June 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Rokid is celebrating this Father’s Day by utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) and augmented reality (AR) technologies to offer a heartfelt gift: a video that recreates a father’s golden years and captures the beloved moments of their love through AR glasses. Rediscover the deep, enduring affection of fathers through advanced technologies.

Recreating Fathers’ Glory Days with AR Technology

With Rokid AR glasses, three pairs of fathers and children from diverse backgrounds transcend time and space to revisit cherished moments from the past.

The glasses Using AI technology to restore these fathers’ old photos and recreate their youthful charisma.—whether capturing a young father’s joyful moments with his son, a middle-aged father’s quiet dedication to his family, or an elderly father’s resilience through life’s changes. As they wear the glasses, they experience youth again, sharing in the laughter and tears of his early years.

The immersive AR experience not only allows fathers to see themselves as young men and observe their daily sacrifices, it also deepens their understanding of the profound and enduring nature of a father’s love, encouraging their children to cherish every moment spent together.

Behind this gift lies the perfect combination of AI and AR technology. The AR glasses worn by the fathers in the video are the new-generation spatial computing kit AR Lite released by Rokid this year. The restoration of the photos was accomplished through AI technology, and then presented to the fathers’ eyes through the memory function in the AR glasses.

At the same time, the video production, background music, lyrics, production, and singing of the song were all completed by AI.

Great Figures Shine in the AR World

In the river of time, yellowed old photos carry the memories and warmth of countless families. As time passes, these precious photos may fade or even become damaged, obscuring those beloved moments.

Fortunately, emerging technologies offer a new avenue to relive valued moments.

This year, Rokid introduced its next-generation spatial computing suite, AR Lite, and showcased the solution’s unique technology in the video.

The AR Lite not only recognizes every detail in the photo but also makes real-time adjustments based on the user’s perspective and movements, enhancing the realism and vividness of the images. The immersive experience deepens our connection to the warmth of our fathers captured in the photos, along with the marks left by time. It feels as though we can hear their laughter and conversations from their youth and feel the tenderness and care in their embrace.

The emotional interaction not only brings memories to life in a more vivid and realistic way but also allows us to cherish and preserve these valued moments in a new and meaningful manner.

Delivering Warmth with Technology

While we often utilize technology to solve problems and enhance efficiency, we rarely consider the emotional value and warmth it can offer.

Rokid released this video on Father’s Day to harness technology’s power, enabling people to experience the tenderness and strength of a father’s love.

Technology isn’t just about changing lives; it’s also a medium to convey love and affection. Recently, Rokid launched the AR Lite set on Kickstarter, continuing to share these heartwarming stories with everyone.

YOFC and China Mobile Debut World’s First 800G Hollow-Core Fibre Transmission Network

Leave a comment

WUHAN, China, June 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — On June 6, Yangtze Optical Fibre and Cable Joint Stock Limited Company (YOFC), in collaboration with China Mobile, unveiled the world’s first 800G hollow-core fibre transmission test network in Shenzhen–Dongguan, Guangdong. The development is a significant milestone in the evolution of telecommunications infrastructure, pushing the boundaries of traditional fibre optic technology.

YOFC’s participation in the test network featured a comprehensive suite of solutions specifically designed for hollow-core fibre optics, encompassing the provision of cables, essential splicing services, and adapters for integration with single-mode fibres. The project successfully navigated several technical challenges common in complex installations. The challenges involved mitigating environmental risks and ensuring robust infrastructure during fibre laying and splicing operations—addressing pipe flooding, managing excessive humidity, and conducting precise splicing in outdoor environments. These efforts were crucial in enabling a detailed evaluation of the fibre’s performance under real operational conditions.

Key performance metrics achieved on a 20km test link—such as splice losses between hollow-core fibres, connections from hollow-core to solid-core fibres, and attenuation post-installation—were benchmarked against leading global standards. Moreover, the deployment featured an 800Gbps single-wavelength optical transmission setup, achieving a bidirectional long-distance transmission test with a throughput of 128Tb/s over hollow-core fibres. This not only demonstrated the practical application of such fibres in intricate and demanding network environments but also served as a critical proof-of-concept for the scalability and industrial applicability of hollow-core fibre technologies.

New technological heights are being achieved across the sector, driven by the ongoing advancements in artificial intelligence. Hollow-core fibre, utilizing an innovative air-guiding mechanism, surpasses the performance constraints associated with traditional solid-core fibres in both capacity and latency. The technology offers marked improvements in data transport infrastructures such as internet backbones and data centers, and is expected to continue meeting the growing demands for data transmission for the next 20 years and beyond.

YOFC plans to advance the development and manufacturing of next-generation hollow-core fibre technologies. Working with industry allies, YOFC seeks to foster innovation, fast-track the commercialization of new fibres, and boost optical network performance, establishing a solid foundation for the fibre infrastructure essential for a smarter world.
