Big Data Expo 2023: Merging Digital Technology with Culture

GUIYANG, China, May 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — A news report by Huanqiu.com:

The much-awaited Big Data Expo 2023, taking place from May 26th to 28th in Guiyang, presents an array of groundbreaking technological accomplishments that are redefining the nexus of culture and technology. As digital technology such as big data, cloud computing, and AI evolve at a rapid pace, they are propelling the cultural sector into a new era of creativity and distribution, thus sparking a wealth of opportunities for cultural expansion.

Technologies that provide immersive experiences, such as xR and holographic projections, are not only transforming the way cultural products are consumed, but also how they are produced. Shenzhen Absen Optoelectronic, a leading LED display manufacturer, showcases its top-of-the-line products and innovative solutions at the Expo, enabling visitors to experience captivating visuals firsthand.

A major highlight at Absen’s booth is the virtual shooting stage, which primarily employs LED display screens from Absen to produce predefined visuals, creating distinctive settings. As visitors step onto the stage, they are transported into the scene through high-tech processing, thus experiencing an immersive sensory spectacle.

Absen’s virtual stage utilizes “xR” virtual shooting as the technical support to deliver an immersive experience to the audience. xR refers to extended reality, which encompasses VR (virtual reality), AR (augmented reality), and MR (mixed reality). This technology is becoming increasingly prevalent in several fields, including advertising, film production, and live commerce. One notable application is the virtual shooting studio, where LED screens and virtual shooting technology merge to digitally replicate specific “scenes”. This allows actors to perform directly within an AR virtual environment, leading to significant savings in production time and cost.

Discussing the rationale for venturing into xR virtual shooting, a director of Absen stated, “xR offers a gateway to the metaverse, integrating a wide variety of virtual realities. It represents a groundbreaking technology in the film and television sector, enhancing overall industry shooting efficiency and fostering growth. Given its enormous potential, xR will also link the industry to others, including education, smart manufacturing, and energy supply. Undoubtedly, this signifies a forthcoming trend in the display industry’s evolution.”

In addition to the innovation generated by its virtual shooting technology, Absen has also been enriching the novel experience of digital culture in culture-themed tourism. For instance, Absen has played a vital role in the construction of themed attractions in the core area of Universal Beijing Resort. It creates a multi-dimensional, all sensory immersive experience with the advanced LED display technology. The Performing Arts Center of Guiyang Grand Theatre benefits from stages adorned with movable LED screens and a four-sided rotating stage, offering viewers a spectacular visual treat. Furthermore, Absen has influenced the exhibition industry, particularly in the Sci-Tech Cultural Center of Wannian County of Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province. Here, Absen’s immersive digital sand table (CAVE) and large-scale data visualization smart screen have turned the center into a new science, technology, and culture landmark. The director of Absen said, “We aim to use LED display technology to revolutionize content, models, and business modes, crafting immersive cultural attractions and continually enhancing visitors’ audio-visual experience.”

In the digital era, technological advancements and content drive the cultural industry’s evolution. Consequently, the demand for intellectual property protection is becoming more urgent.

At the Expo, Intellectual Property Publishing House presents the China IPR Big Data and Intelligent Service System (Inspiro). The publishing house director explained, “We have collected 491 pools of data, reaching a capacity of 383T+ and an amount of 1 billion+. Inspiro integrates data resources, including domestic and foreign patents, trademarks, intellectual property cases and standards, scientific journals, geographical indications, new plant varieties, and layout-designs of integrated circuit. Inspiro performs multiple functions, such as information retrieval, analysis, early warnings, and project management in big data.”

Using interactive data visualization and data monitoring and analysis, Inspiro communicates complex data relationships and data-driven insights in an easily digestible manner.

The director further noted, “The publishing house is tasked with overseeing intellectual property throughout its lifecycle. From the moment books, paintings, or other works are created, we manage the verification of their originality and intellectual property protection, realization, and infringement.”

Cultural digitization is now a national strategy. In Guizhou, digitization enriches public cultural services, meeting diverse needs. Libraries are enhancing the reading experience through technologies such as robot guides, digital resources, and virtual reality. Cultural venues like museums, connected to the “cloud,” provide audiences with new and immersive experiences through cloud performances and exhibitions. The “Travel Guizhou with One Code” app, which compiles information on Guizhou’s tourist attractions, enables a seamless, smart tourism experience. The data-driven evolution of the cultural industry is yielding benefits for more people.

Game, Set, Match! Swimply Makes Tennis Court Rentals Easy and Affordable for Aussies

Swimply’s launch of tennis courts provides a high-end and affordable tennis experience for all to enjoy

SYDNEY, May 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Swimply, the innovative online pool sharing platform, today announced its newest category with the launch of private court rentals. Building on the success of its private pool experiences, Swimply is now bringing its unique brand to tennis enthusiasts in New South Wales and Victoria, offering affordable private tennis courts that make it easier than ever to enjoy the popular sport.

For many tennis players, practising on public courts can be a daunting experience due to the presence of skilled players, coaches – not to mention, often long waiting times to book a court. Swimply’s new tennis courts offer a perfect solution by providing players with accessible, affordable and convenient courts that prioritise privacy and give players the ability to enjoy playing with confidence at their own pace and skill level.

“Cost and difficulty of finding access to courts has been a major barrier for many players,” said Swimply CEO, Bunim Laskin. “With our launch into tennis, we’re thrilled to be able to provide Australians with an affordable and easy way to access these facilities, while also helping homeowners to monetise their underutilised assets.”

“Australians love tennis and if we can capture 2% of the private courts in Australia that will disproportionately positively impact the number of accessible courts by 10%,” said Swimply Australia Managing Director, Sam McDonagh.

“As a tennis fanatic, I’m delighted to see Swimply launch tennis courts. I play tennis rain, hail or shine, and unfortunately it can be pretty hard to get a court during the latter. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve driven past pristine, empty courts in beautiful homes around Sydney and wished I could jump on. Well, now we all can. You’ll never have to worry about not being able to get a court again. Australians are now able to play on stunning, high end tennis courts, in the best areas, all round Australia, in private. Every tennis tragic’s dream,” said Darren McMullen, television personality and Swimply brand ambassador.

Whether looking to get family and friends together for a fun day out, or wanting to get more practice time in, Swimply’s user-friendly booking system offers a wide range of options for players to find and book private tennis courts starting from just $18 per hour. From elegant backyard setups to sprawling estates with immaculate grounds that emulate an exclusive country club atmosphere, guests can even book a court and a pool at the same time for the ultimate luxurious escape.

Swimply’s expansion into tennis courts is part of the company’s ongoing commitment to making private leisure facilities accessible and affordable for everyone. By connecting homeowners with guests, Swimply is creating a win-win situation that benefits both parties and helps to unlock the full potential of these valuable assets.

Wait… What? Oscar-winning filmmakers are using this portable projector from JMGO???

The projector showcases JMGO’s relentless pursuit of cinematic picture quality and the commitment to upgrading the viewing experience for global users.

SHENZHEN, China, May 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — JMGO N1 Ultra Triple Color Laser Gimbal Projector has secured US$2.24 million on Kickstarter from over 1,700 backers worldwide. The pioneering triple laser-powered projector has become a reliable choice for professionals including Academy Awards-winning filmmakers Adam Leipzig, Edd Lukas, and Rachel Morrison, who appreciate its vivid, accurate color representation, exceptional portability, and plug-and-play features.

The N1 Ultra has been well-received by global media and consumers since its debut in March.  Now the successful journey is joined by Academy Awards-winning filmmakers Adam Leipzig, Edd Lukas, and Rachel Morrison as serious users who are enjoying the “whole cinema experience in a carrying case” provided by the N1 Ultra. The addition of Academy Awards-winning filmmakers as users who are more sensitive about visual performances and image qualities undoubtedly is another recognition of N1 Ultra’s picture quality.

Will Wang, Chief Product Officer of JMGO, said, “We are thrilled to see the color representation of the N1 Ultra recognized by Oscar-winning producers and cinematographers. As an industry leader and a user-oriented company, we will continue to push the limits of optical technology to refine the picture quality of laser projectors and bring the cinematic experience to more global users.”

A Projector Recognized by Filmmakers
Filmmakers need precise color representation, clarity, and contrast in their professional monitors to ensure the productivity of their work. Now, the cinematic picture quality allows the N1 Ultra to become a new, reliable choice for them to capture every detail of the scene. The projector covers an ultra-wide color gamut of 110% BT.2020, which is equivalent to 155% DCI-P3, a widely adopted color standard for the film industry. It even offers a full suite of color calibration options, allowing users to achieve the best possible color accuracy based on their needs.

Powering the cinematic performance of the N1 Ultra is JMGO’s proprietary optical technology, the MALC (Microstructure Adaptive Laser Control) Triple Color Laser Optics. JMGO’s engineers spent two years developing and perfecting this cutting-edge technology, which integrates into a compact, long-throw projector with a gimbal design. The in-house developed laser engine allows the N1 Ultra to deliver exceptional color representation, contrast, brightness uniformity, and speckle reduction, making it a “performance beast” according to Projector Reviews.

The gimbal design is a unique feature of the N1 Ultra, which turns it into a truly portable cinema. With the Ultra-Thin 2-Axis Gimbal System, the N1 Ultra can pan 360° horizontally and tilt 135° vertically, remaining stable at any given angle. The Instant Gimbal-like Display Correction further simplifies the setup process, as users only need to point the lens to the projection surface and let the smart calibration software automatically calibrate the image within seconds.

A Pioneer of Smart Projectors
JMGO has been dedicated to the innovation of projection technology since 2012 and established itself as a pioneer of smart projectors, bringing exceptional audio-visual experiences to millions of users in China. In 2021, JMGO expanded its business to the global market, and the N1 Ultra is its latest offering. The launch of the triple color laser projector has been a huge success since day one, raising US$2.24 million from 1,706 backers on Kickstarter in just 45 days. The projector has also become the best seller on both Rakuten Japan and Yahoo Japan following its regional launch on April 6th at Tsutaya Books Daikan-yama.

JMGO will continue to strive for technological innovation to bring cinematic experiences to more global consumers. The highly anticipated projector will be available on Amazon US and Japan, as well as the JMGO official website in mid-May 2023, at the MSRP of $2,299.
