V6 Production looked for a live video solution which could ensure transmission signal reliability over a large area and optimize its production costs via a simple REMI setup. After testing different solutions, V6 selected LiveU’s REMI solution, combining LiveU’s LU800 multi-cam 5G production-level units, with its compact LU300 units, as part of a seamless production workflow. Production is handled centrally at V6’s Bangkok production studio with only minimal people required on-site. Multiple high resolution video streams are transmitted remotely – to the OB switcher for recording, and direct to customers’ broadcast and streaming platforms including traditional TV broadcasting networks, OTT, and social media.

Mr. Vichit Yodburee, Managing Director, V6 Production Company Limited, said, “LiveU technology proves that there is no limit to creativity when it comes to sports productions. LiveU provides signal reliability in crowded areas and over a long distance, together with the highest video quality, even when the camera is moving at high speeds. We can capture the action from multiple angles, getting up close to the athletes and drivers – even inside the cars – generating video views from anywhere for a unique viewing experience. This enables us to offer greater value to our customers, providing a more creative and professional live production, while saving costs using the REMI workflow. We see many opportunities for the technology and are planning to use LiveU for entertainment and corporate events as well, such as festival openings and product launches.”

Mr. Yaal Eshel, General Manager – LiveU Asia, said, “V6 brings so much creativity to live sports productions, using our technology in innovative ways to cover fast-moving sports events. The cost-efficiencies around REMI workflows are clear and we see these workflows increasingly used for events throughout the region.”

Established in 2015, V6 Production focuses on TV programs, music videos, and sport event productions.

Blingy Launch New Beauty Application: Reauty

Reauty leads as an industry gamechanger to empower beauty seekers.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 25, 2022 — Today, The Blingy Technology & Entertainment, Inc. (aka Blingy) breaks through the conventional rules of the beauty industry with the beta version of an innovative beauty rating application – Reauty. "Reauty was born out of the need to speak out against the status quo of the industry and address the beauty stakeholders’ pain points, including the beauty seekers, micro-influencers, and beauty brands," said Joy Yuan, Founder & CEO of Blingy.

Leveraging its scientifically based product analysis and easy-to-navigate ingredient safety scores, Reauty shed light on the lack of transparency and regulations in the beauty sector, diving deep into thousands of products to protect users from choosing unsafe, risky ingredients. Reauty’s product analysis function covers all products for beauty needs, such as cosmetics, hair, skin, nails, lips, and men’s care. Users will be able to navigate through their preferences for product attributes and discover clean, vegan, sustainable, and cruelty-free tagged products at ease.

With deep machine learning algorithms and the support of its strong database, Reauty acts as an information aggregator that serves as a beauty "kayak" to give effective solutions for user’s skin types and concerns within seconds. The database-powered search also empowers users with a personalized experience. Reauty features an AI chatbot, Baebee, to give each user a customized quiz that breaks down their skin types, targeted skin concerns, and preferences for products and ingredient tags, which aids Reauty’s smart search engine to generate bespoke top results. This feature paired with the barcode scanning system turns finding the best matches and top-rated products into a productive journey.

Personalization is taken a step further with the AI Skin Analysis feature. Reauty’s advanced AI engine has been trained on millions of face and skin images. It can swiftly and accurately evaluate the facial skin of users of various skin tones and identify over 10 essential skin health and beauty benchmarks. With image recognition technology, this one-of-a-kind AI analyzes facial skin problems and proposes personalized solutions, beauty tips, and product recommendations to customers.


Reauty’s purpose emphasizes transparency to empower beauty lovers.

In addition to the three main features,  Reauty fosters an authentic community that supports inclusivity. Users can easily find their preferred women-owned, BIPOC owned, and sustainable or inclusive brands. Reauty also features a transparent rating system that provides users with a genuine product score from 100% user-generated reviews. It brings together all beauty lovers with similar needs and concerns to express their honest views and experiences as consumers while helping and inspiring others in their skincare journey.

"We are genuinely excited to announce the launch of our signature mobile application; it has taken months of research, development, and testing," said Joy Yuan, "We are ecstatic about the results, and we promise our users a rewarding experience as they get familiar with Reauty."

Reauty aims to provide personalized, effective, and efficient results to help users navigate the complicated "jigsaw" of the beauty industry to make the best-personalized beauty decisions. With the first flagship product, Blingy looks to facilitate healthy relationships between like-minded individuals from all walks of life and create a more convenient lifestyle for all.

Wolfoo – Vietnamese animation taking the world by storm

Rich in humanistic values, Wolfoo has won over the hearts of millions of people across the globe.

NEW YORK, March 12, 2022 — An animated web series popular with kids worldwide, Wolfoo enjoys wide appeal that stems from the humanistic values deftly woven into stories about fun everyday situations. The series has been twice awarded the Youtube Diamond button, with more than 2 billion monthly views and counting. Yet it is a little-known fact that Wolfoo is indeed the pride of Vietnamese people.

Wolfoo is a collection of animated characters in the WOA ecosystem owned by SCONNECT, a Vietnam-headquartered company specialized in creative content.

Originally produced in English, Wolfoo has been dubbed into many other languages, such as Spanish, French, Portuguese, Japanese, etc. To expand its market, the producer has registered images of Wolfoo characters as trademarks in the United States and Vietnam. In addition, in Vietnam, the producer has also copyrighted the scripts of the Wolfoo animated web series and secured protection for the Wolfoo brand.

Wolfoo is steadily asserting itself as the animation brand taking the lead in holistic integration of entertainment and education through a rich ecosystem of products familiar and attractive to children across the world. Spanning a diverse range of topics, each episode raises children’s awareness about proper behaviors, helps them form healthy habits, and equips them with essential life skills. Wolfoo also fosters the development of personality traits and skills for children, namely courage, gratitude, compassion, empathy, humility, integrity, persistence, creativity, curiosity, teamwork, emotional self-control, and communication.

The secret to success

Speaking about his choice to target the international market rather than the domestic one, Ta Manh Hoang, CEO of SCONNECT which owns the ecosystem of creative products under the WOA brand said, "We believe in the principle that sometimes choice matters more than effort. It is important to choose the right direction from the start, no matter how difficult it may be, because you will attain greater and more enduring gains upon success. Breaking into a market of high standards will push us to harness all possible resources for development. It is akin to tackling a hard math problem, requiring perseverance that will be rewarded many times over once solved. After capturing international market share, our return to the domestic market and future growth will be smooth sailing."

"Every WOA product has clearly-defined core values. After determining the core values of a product, WOA comes up with a coherent action plan and commits itself to delivering these values through said product and service. Thus, we ensure sustainability and distinctiveness in doing business," Ta Manh Hoang asserted.

Ta Manh Hoang assessed that the digital environment, harsh as it is, also opens up numerous learning and capacity-building opportunities for Vietnamese production teams. "Youtube is an open space, with very specific rules. Not only does Youtube help creators develop content but also guide them on how to do business and fairly split profits. We have learnt a lot from Google, particularly Youtube. Through our steady development on this platform, we have matured a great deal. I have every confidence in our Vietnamese staff; they are young, proactive, quick learners, and multi-taskers. Every person on our team enjoys a clear path of skill and career development. And that is how we can walk far," Ta Manh Hoang remarked.

WOA constantly conducts research and development, and expands its portfolio to meet the demands of customers. Take Wolfoo for example. In addition to short episodic content, the production team is also working on serial content for the Wolfoo Series, with massive investment in film technology so as to offer a product of superior quality. While the short episodes of Wolfoo revolve around daily happenings, Wolfoo Series takes the audience on exciting long-running adventures in the worlds of magic, toys, etc.

As the audience’s trust and support is an invaluable asset, WOA endeavors to always deliver tangible values and best satisfy the audience through the expansion of the Wolfoo ecosystem. In 2022, WOA expects to launch the online game Wolfoo and the 2000-square meter Wolfoo City edutainment center, complete with the Wolfoo cast of characters.

 As a commercial brand of SCONNECT CO., LTD, WOA commits to foster connections for values across the world. Being a producer of creative products, WOA is taking the lead in fast delivery of service and a strong portfolio geared towards global connectivity and development.

Dot Inc. Announces the World’s First Tactile Braille Display, Compatible with iPhone and iPad

  • New Dot Pad display from Dot Inc. helps blind/low-vision users feel tactile images in real-time
  • It will be showcased at the CSUN’s Assistive Technology Conference in March 2022
  • Dot Pad is now available to developer communities and early adopters on Dot’s official website

SEOUL, South Korea, March 11, 2022 — Today, Dot Inc. introduced Dot Pad, the world’s first tactile braille display for developer communities and early adopters. Dot Pad is compatible with iPhone and iPad, along with Apple’s built-in screen reader, VoiceOver. Dot’s new device offers blind/low-vision users a refreshable tactile display with the option to touch whatever is displayed on the screen, bringing the community one step closer to digital equality.

DotPad Tactile display 1
DotPad Tactile display 1

The task of creating a viable and refreshable tactile display for blind/low-vision users has posed one of the greatest challenges for developers in this industry for years. Traditionally, tactile displays only had one line, and were primarily connected with computers and phones to translate written text to Braille. However, they always lacked the technical capability to display graphical elements such as images, maps, and UI, ultimately limiting the experience. Dot Inc. aimed at and succeeded in creating the tactile display that pushes through the boundaries and expands the possibilities of digital accessibility.

Dot Pad helps blind/low-vision users render images and text from iPhone or iPad to the tactile display instantaneously. Dot Pad is compatible with devices running iOS 15.2 or later, or iPadOS 15.2 or later. VoiceOver support for tactile representations of images and graphics builds on Apple’s long history of creating and supporting accessible technology.

"Many blind/low-vision users around the world rely on iPhone and iPad, due to the industry-leading screen-reader VoiceOver," said Dot Inc. co-founder Eric Ju Yoon Kim. "We are very excited that Dot’s tactile technology is now optimized for VoiceOver, and that this will expand digital accessibility. Beyond speech or literary braille, these users can now feel and improve their understanding of images."

A new tactile graphic API was made available to iOS developers around the globe starting with iOS 15.2. Using this new API, developers and creators can supplement existing apps with tactile content as well as create new apps to utilize the full set of Dot Pad features.

"My wish is that many global developers within Apple’s ecosystem can use this API to develop games, entertainment, and educational apps compatible with our tactile display," said Ki Kwang Sung, co-founder at Dot Inc. "There is a growing opportunity for blind/low-vision users to connect through visual games and educational tools."

Dot Pad is now available to developer communities and early adopters on Dot’s official website.

Dot Inc. is providing technology support for an expanded Dynamic Tactile Device project with the American Printing House for the Blind and HumanWare slated to be launched in 2023. Learnings from the Dot Pad developer community will contribute to that project, which is considered to be the industry’s most ambitious effort in braille and tactile technology to date.

China Matters produced the animated video series ‘The 24 Solar Terms in Poetry and Painting’


BEIJING, March 11, 2022China Matters animation team produced the animated video series The 24 Solar Terms in Poetry and Painting, which illustrates the Chinese solar terms through dynamic Chinese paintings and classical poems translated by Dr. Xu Yuanchong. The five solar terms included in this episode are Minor Cold, Major Cold, Beginning of Spring, Rain Water, and Awakening of Insects, which combine to form a scroll of revival as winter turns to spring.

jwplayer.key=”3Fznr2BGJZtpwZmA+81lm048ks6+0NjLXyDdsO2YkfE=”
 

jwplayer(‘myplayer1’).setup({file: ‘https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-3fOlbJz1k’, image: ‘http://www.prnasia.com/video_capture/3689299_AE89299_1.jpg’, autostart:’false’, aspectratio: ’16:9′, stretching : ‘fill’, width: ‘600’, height: ‘338’});

The Chinese solar terms embody Chinese people’s traditional recognition of natural rhythms, astronomical calendar, folk customs and farming. On November 30, 2016, China’s 24 Solar Terms were officially included in the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. At the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics, the creative "24 Solar Terms countdown" drew worldwide attention.

Minor Cold and Major Cold mark the end of a year. Paintings Snow on Mount Emei and Thatched Gate Covered by Snow are used to interpret the two solar terms. In these two paintings, against the majestic mountains covered by snow, pedestrians brave the heavy snow, domestic dogs wag their heads and tails, and donkeys waddle forward, adding great vitality to the snow-capped mountains.

To illustrate Beginning of Spring, Rain Water and Awakening of Insects, which mark the beginning of a new year, three paintings are selected: Fair Lady Exploring Plum Blossoms, Spring in the Mountains and Lakes, and A Thatched House in the Bamboo Forest. They together form a scroll of early spring: In the Beginning of Spring, girls get outside to enjoy plum blossoms. In the Rain Water, travelers take a boat and drift on a turquoise river. In the Awakening of Insects, crickets singing can be heard at night. Frame after frame, the animation depicts bamboo shoots coming out of the soil, insects stretching and jumping, and so on—everything is reviving to embrace spring.

All these paintings and poems embody the Chinese people’s graceful taste and rich emotions.

The Art of Craftsmanship | GAC MOTOR Hosts Chinese-Panamanian Artists Exhibition

GUANGZHOU, China, March 4, 2022 — GAC MOTOR has been operating in Panama since 2019, earning a solid foothold in the local market with quality vehicles and innovative designs. As Chinese smart manufacturing and automobile technology make a strong reputation worldwide, GAC MOTOR Panama hosts a vibrant exhibition. The Chinese-Panamanian artists at the exhibition represent a shared love for craftsmanship – the combination of beauty and skill – present in visual arts and the art of creating cars.

Progenie | The Spirit of Craftsmanship Across Cultures

The exhibition, named "Progenie," displayed the paintings of Chinese-Panamanian artists of three different ages, highlighting the contribution of Chinese painters to the multicultural tapestry of Latin America and notably Panama today.

The concept of Chinese craftsmanship has been a key pillar of GAC MOTOR’s overseas brand identity for some time now, with the GAC development strategy focusing on bringing outstanding Chinese designs and technology onto the world stage.

Cross-cultural art exhibitions like this one are important in communicating the amazing creativity that Chinese brands and individuals have to offer the world.

Ms. Mai Yap, one of the exhibiting artists based out of Florida, USA, said that "China lives in us, and although we came from and were born in different countries, we carry all that culture within us."

Mai Yap’s colorful works were displayed alongside another young visual artist, Nicole Rumaldo Choy, who represents merging these two cultures’ creative prowess.

The Spirit of Craftsmanship: Continued Efforts in the Americas

GAC MOTOR has become the top-performing Chinese brand in local sales since entering the Panama market in 2019. The nation is now home to more than 400 new GAC MOTOR owners.

Ever since the launch of the All New GS4 and extensive engagement in car rental projects last year, GAC MOTOR has attracted more attention. It has become a representative of Chinese car brands in Panama.

In the new year, GAC MOTOR will continue to provide Panamanian users with a high standard of travel experience. The brand looks forward to a future of further healthy development in the Americas.
