Tencent Teams Up with SOOS OIO to Level Up Healthy Gameplay in Singapore

Leave a comment

A series of hybrid events to promote intergenerational communication and digital wellbeing amongst local youths

SINGAPORE, May 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — With the number of video gamers in Singapore expected to hit 3 million by 2026, video and mobile gaming has touched the lives of many internet users, serving as a conduit to form meaningful social connections and a platform to cultivate prosocial behaviours. Against this landscape, Tencent has partnered local social enterprise SOOS OIO to organise a series of parenting webinar, workshops and community gaming tournaments at this year’s Digital For Life Festival, organised by Singapore’s Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA).

The events, which span across two weekends (21-22 May, 28-29 May), seek to advocate digital wellness among the public, and more specifically support the growth of a healthy, inclusive and balanced gameplay environment for everyone in Singapore. The collaboration taps on SOOS OIO’s local networks and experience working with Singaporean parents and youths, as well as Tencent’s global expertise in shaping a positive gameplay environment.

“We are proud to be part of the Digital For Life Festival to drive greater awareness about the importance of digital wellness, and how the digital sphere, including online gaming, enables new possibilities and empowers the digital society,” said Stanley Sun, head of publishing technology services of Interactive Entertainment Group (IEG) at Tencent. “As a game publisher, we continuously work to build a healthy and inclusive gaming ecosystem, in close collaboration with organisations like SOOS OIO in Singapore.”

SOOS OIO believes that video and mobile gaming serve not only as a social platform for community building, but an educational medium to develop critical thinking and communications skills. “Play is an integral part of learning and we believe that video gaming constitutes play on a different playground. It offers development for every youth across cognitive, emotional and social aspects,” said Pauline Phoon, founder of SOOS OIO. “Misconceptions around gaming often arise from a lack of understanding about the nature of games and the benefits it can bring. Together with Tencent, we hope to bring awareness among parents and community in Singapore about the various ways gaming can be leveraged for digital wellness, social and cognitive skills, and most importantly – as a means of connecting with children.”

“We thank SOOS OIO, Tencent and all partners for joining us to organise the parenting workshops and community gaming tournaments at the inaugural Digital for Life Festival, enabling our youths to learn the importance of healthy gaming, while strengthening social connections between family, friends and community,” said Ms Dawn Low, Cluster Director for Digital Readiness and Digital for Life programme office at IMDA.

Accompanying her sons to the community gaming tournament (TeleMatch Brawl Stars) on May 22, Anne Soh, mother of Jesse Tan (23 years old) and Jakin Tan (21 years old), shared, “I am glad that my sons are now able to share their strategies for healthy gaming with others through various platforms like social media and casting for competitions. From having to adhere to time limits I set for them when they were young, they have now progressed to being able to self-regulate their gaming schedules. I hope more parents will be able to engage with their children on ways to integrate gaming into a healthy and balanced lifestyle.”

Through the various activities planned for the Digital For Life Festival 2022, Tencent and SOOS OIO hope to demystify gaming for parents, engage youths to form healthy gaming habits, foster healthy familial relationships through gaming, and realise the benefits of play for everyone. These activities include:

Webinar on Understanding Games, Gamers and Game Dependency

During the webinar, parents were equipped with the framework needed to better understand games, gamers and game dependency, which allowed them to better appreciate the motivations behind certain gaming behaviour. The participants were also exposed to various communication strategies as well as a brief introduction to neurofeedback intervention – with the overall goal of improving parent-child communication and relationships.

Parenting Challenge Workshops: Communicating & Engaging Gaming Youths at Home through Role Play

As a follow up to the webinar, participants put the theories and communications strategies learnt to good use through role play sessions of common scenarios in families. These practical sessions helped to contextualise the learnings and deepened participants’ understanding of the theories through re-enactment in a safe environment.

TeleTrip Festival

Families and friends teamed up to battle each other in a casual and community-style gaming tournament, uniquely designed to be inclusive and fun for all. Two family-friendly game titles, Brawl Stars and Roblox: Super Striker League were featured in the telematches – albeit with a twist through a special rewards system that celebrates a myriad of accomplishments, beyond just the highest score. This serves to ignite participants’ creative, strategic gameplay and teamwork while ensuring that the games are accessible to every member of the family.

Following its Singapore office launch in late 2020, Tencent recently launched Level Infinite, the company’s global games publisher arm in Singapore. “Through our collaborations, we are also enabling the sustainable growth of the gaming industry by nurturing young talents, supporting local studios and investing in innovation in Singapore, and around the world,” Sun concluded.

2022 Visionox Technology Innovation Launch Event

Leave a comment

BANGKOK, May 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — According to Global One Belt One Road TV Station, On May 5, 2022, Visionox, a leading innovative display enterprise in China, held its 2022 Technology Innovation Launch Event online to release its innovative technological achievements in five sectors. With the theme of “Create a Brandnew and Visionary Future”, there are 20 innovative technological achievements in five sectors being released (e.g. EnV ALT™ low-frequency LTPS, InV tripod® tripod-shaped pixel arrangement, HLEMS technology, COE POL-less technology, and truly bezel-less face ID module). This release highlights Visionox’s great technological innovation capabilities. The further commercialization of these innovations will be destined to accelerate the iteration and upgrade of intelligent terminals.

Led by Visionox’s President Dr. Zhang Deqiang, there were five technical experts, namely Cai Minghan, Shan Qi, Zhang Wei, Xiao Yiming and Cao Xuan, delivering speeches in five dimensions: “Versatile for the Full World”, “Vibrant for the Strong Performance”, “Vigorous for the Integrated Trend”, “Vintage for the Smart Display”, and “Vast for the Infinite World”.

Dr. Zhang Deqiang explained Visionox’s medium- and long-term development strategies (2022-2031): “In the next five years, Visionox will focus on the core technologies of innovative display, expand our production to all related fields, and rank among Top 3 in worldwide OLED panel shipments.” He also noted that through ten years of hard work, Visionox would realize the synchronized development of the industry ecosystem and become a global leader in the emerging display industry. In terms of strategy implementation, Visionox has formulated “One strength & Two new roads” development strategies for the next five years, namely consolidating the success in small-sized display applications, expanding the application of medium-sized display and opening up a new large-sized display market. For the next decade, Visionox has put forward the “2345” development framework (i.e. 2 business lines: OLED and Micro-LED; 3 core technologies: optics and materials, semiconductor devices and system integration; 4 innovation bases in the Yangtze River Delta, Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei, Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and Chengdu–Chongqing; 5 application fields: intelligent terminal, automotive interaction, smart home, industrial control and healthcare, and innovation-driven business).

After his speech, the five technical experts explained the five sectors, covering nearly 20 innovative technological achievements, which were elaborated in terms of technical principle, innovation effectiveness, application scenario, user experience, etc.

In terms of “Versatile for the Full World”, Visionox has narrowed 1.4mm bezel down to 1.0mm by applying new circuit design and FIAA technology. In addition, Visionox has realized slimmer bezel, more invisible crease and smaller bend radius through foldable form optimization, stacking module thinning, module materials optimization, and other technologies.

In terms of “Vibrant for the Strong Performance”, Visionox has reduced power consumption by taking three major methods, namely, low-frequency LTPS technology, HLEMS technology and COE POL-less technology, from two aspects of drive and light extraction efficiency improvement.

Meanwhile, Visionox’s original upgraded “dual tripod” pixel arrangement is now able to present finer, sharper and more balanced images. With the promotion and application of new technologies, next-generation smartphones are expected to be substantially improved in portability, screen-to-body ratio, optical performance, screen power consumption and under-display camera.

In terms of “Vigorous for the Integrated Trend”, Visionox launched the world’s first under-display camera solution InV see® in 2020. Now, Visionox has released its latest solutions – InV see® Bezel-less solution of 3D face recognition and PIN optical fingerprint recognition solution, enabling smartphone recognition system to go further on the path of achieving higher information security, convenience of use and compatibility of flexible display.

In terms of “Vintage for the Smart Display”, Visionox has developed tandem OLED technology and aging compensation technology, and also carried out in-depth research on basic technologies such as oxide TFT backplane and Demura. Based on the improvement of the fundamental functions, AMOLEDs are used in medium-sized applications. Visionox presents a flexible under-screen camera solution for laptops which uses ultra-thin bezel technology, enabling the screen-to-body ratio to increase to 91% from 85% which has been the choice of most traditional laptops. In the field of medium-sized automotive applications, Visionox has cooperated with some automobile brands to launch customized OLED automotive displays, such as dashboard, digital rearview, central control and transparent A-pillar.

The part of “Vast for the Infinite World” was especially eye-catching. Visionox is actively “expanding new medium-sized display applications” and “opening up a new large-sized display market”. Visionox started its Micro-LED technology accumulation in 2017. At present, Visionox has built a Micro-LED Pilot Line, and successfully launched samples of 1.84-inch Micro-LED wearable retina displays and 12.7-inch glass-based Micro-LED tiling displays.

Finally, Dr. Zhang Deqiang said that Visionox would accelerate the commercialization of its innovative technologies and products in the future to create more immersive usage scenarios and provide end users with rich experience. At the present stage, Visionox’s goal is to meet market demand for customized, diversified and dynamic solutions, and deliver more value and better integrated solutions to downstream customers, so as to improve end users’ experience and bring the new future forward.

Cao Yong, member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, pointed out that at present, China’s electronic information industry has ushered in an unprecedented and new landscape. China’s display industry has become a major force in the global display industry, and the new display industry represented by OLED has shown strong growth momentum and huge market potential. In recent years, China has made new progress in new displays. The innovation force in emerging displays, led by enterprises like Visionox, has been exploring and making breakthroughs in AMOLEDs. They have launched several new technologies globally, formulated a number of international, national and industrial standards, filed more than 10,000 patents, and made innovations in collaboration with upstream and downstream enterprises of the industry chain, opening up new prospects.

Historically, May is the peak month for the release of new display innovations around the world every year. Visionox’s launch event of its innovative technological achievements at the beginning of May has shown a high degree of confidence in technology and innovation strength.

Focusing on OLED technology for 21 years, Visionox has a leading position in this field, and its innovations are often characterized as “industrial windvane”. Competition for R&D innovation in new displays is expected to grow fiercer. With the advent of the era of flexible displays, intelligent terminals will iterate and update faster.

Leave a comment

GUANGZHOU, China, May 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — HUYA Inc. (“Huya” or the “Company”) (NYSE: HUYA), a leading game live streaming platform in China, today provides an update on its status under the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (the “HFCAA”).

Huya is aware that the Company has been identified by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the HFCAA on May 4, 2022. Huya understands such identification may result from its filing of the annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

Huya understands the SEC made such identification pursuant to the HFCAA and its implementation rules issued thereunder, and this indicates that the SEC determines that the Company used an auditor whose working paper cannot be inspected or investigated completely by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”), to issue the audit opinion for its financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

In accordance with the HFCAA, a company will be delisted from a U.S. stock exchange only if the company has been identified by the SEC for three consecutive years due to the PCAOB’s inability to inspect auditor’s working paper.

Huya has been actively exploring possible solutions. The Company will continue to comply with applicable laws and regulations in both China and the United States, and strive to maintain its listing status on the New York Stock Exchange.

BREA, Calif., April 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ —

Wom- A Decentralized Music Platform Is Going to Be Launched Worldwide

The combination of music and the digital age

Founded in California in 2022, Wom Labs is a Web3.0 company that combines blockchain with music industry perfectly, thanks to the blockchain decentralization technology. It encourages contemporary musicians, creators, producers and music lovers to share and create more pure music works through a complete ecomodel of music creation, distribution, trading and sharing. Adhering to the ecological principle of “benefiting the music fans and listeners”, it sets up a bridge for music creators and fans to communicate directly.

Led by OG: G-Stark, a blockchain that manages listed companies, Wom Labs is co-produced by well-known musicians and towering figures from Tencent, ByteDance, SEA and miHoYo. Wom Labs boasts a full-time MOD team, members of which are highly experienced and will support Wom Labs’ community operation. So far, Wom Labs has recruited many musicians to boost the early promotion and successfully established the media matrix, hoping to create a new era of digital music.

Wom, a decentralized platform for global musicians

Wom is Wom Labs’ new music NFT platform in the Web3.0 era, which focuses on a fair, transparent, shared, open and immersive music ecosystem. Creators may easily create and issue NFT through Wom, and have access to the revenues in connection with their creation, either as lyricists, composers, singers or otherwise, or as independent musicians. Thanks to NFT and smart contract, all creation benefits are vested in creators and copyright owners, to the extent that authors have absolute control over their works. Besides, Wom can tailor cooperation programs and income distribution mechanisms for copyright companies to ensure that copyright owners gain benefits in the Web3.0 world. Wom is a platform for win-win cooperation in the Web3.0 era.

Wom, a new world for music lovers

Wom is a decentralized social platform driven by music culture. Here, fans can buy the creators’ NFT and works and communicate with their favorite creators directly. Music lovers can get value back by listening to music for free, make content consumption become value investing, and derive benefits from hobbies and tastes. Far away from the influence of politics, region and policy, Wom will provide a better creative environment and a more pure free socializing.

Wom Node，Basic Building Block of Web 3.0 Wom’s Platform

Wom Node is the infrastructure leading to Web3.0 and will be deployed in different parts of the globe by the distributed technology. With Wom Node’s distributed servers, holders may provide storage and hosting capabilities for the decentralized network of Wom, thus facilitating the sustained development of Wom.

A small number of Wom Nodes will be distributed (not purchased) to Wom’s music initiators, ecological contributors and partners. They will be the guardians of Wom and contribute to the sustainable development of the whole ecosystem.

Wom Node holders will, with the sustained development and ecological building of the Wom platform, receive rewards from Wom according to the fixed distribution logic. To put it simply, the more flowing music NFT in the Wom, the more connections, interactions, exchanges and value delivery between music fans and creators, and the more sound ecosystem. In this case, Wom Node will be of more significance as the infrastructure ecosystem of the Wom.

Keeping pace with the times for the future of Wom

NFT-Avatar, the first NFT issued on the Wom platform, will be introduced to the Wom community as a metaverse avatar, linking the Wom individuals into a decentralized autonomous organization.

The Wom platform allows musicians to issue NFT and self-define the forming of club members, fans PASS, free access to songs, collections, works of art, and music albums, etc.

In order to facilitate the dissemination of Web3.0 music culture, Wom will invite world-famous musicians to co-organize WOM offline music festivals. Wom World Music Tour will be held with WOM Awards, which are favored by global musicians and also Wom’s direction of efforts.

Wom, a new music benchmark in the Web3.0 era

The world today is a digital age, and so is music. Music and technology have always been tied together in every leap forward, ranging from records to tapes and from offline to online. As new technologies and concepts such as 5G, blockchain, AI and metaverse are emerging rapidly, our ways of music creation and release have changed dramatically.

Wom is an industry revolution of “blockchain + music”. In the Wom, everyone can be a music creator and every user can enjoy an auditory carnival of lossless tone quality for free. Keeping good music updated online, Wom draws musicians and listeners closer, and brings music back to its own purity and freedom.

In the Web3.0 era, Wom will bring you to a new world of digital music. Are you ready to be a witness?
