AlgoriX Ventures into Mobile Games with AlgoriX Studios

Leave a comment

AlgoriX continues to push for media innovation with AlgoriX Studios by adding mobile gaming to their suite of in-app advertising and monetization solutions.

SINGAPORE, Jan. 12, 2021 — Media and advertising technology company, AlgoriX, has officially launched its mobile gaming arm, AlgoriX Studios. With AlgoriX Studios, the company aims to groom the next generation of indie game and app developers by providing them with expert guidance and resources on acquiring users, go-to-market plans for local and global markets, and monetization strategies. Moreover, through AlgoriX Studios, AlgoriX will also produce its own mobile games with a few flagship titles slated for global release in the first quarter of 2021.

Indie game and app developers can benefit from working with AlgoriX Studios by taking advantage of the synergy among its products. Besides app development and publishing, the company provides in-app advertising and monetization solutions through AlgoriX Exchange. Meanwhile, AlgoriX Entregar facilitates user acquisition. At present, AlgoriX’s advertising platform has accumulated over 900 million active users worldwide while working with over 800 developers and 300 advertisers.

AlgoriX Studios also comes equipped with a game automation and distribution platform. This enables developers to conduct a series of automated tests for game products covering price, retention, advertising efficiency, and optimization. By providing a creative demo at the early stage of game development, developers can gauge the game’s potential popularity among users plus the average user acquisition cost in its specific category. Through this, developers can make more informed decisions, adjust projects in time, and avoid large-scale R&D costs.

"Especially for start-up game developers, resources are often scarce, thus creative testing, user acquisition, and monetization often become insurmountable challenges. By working with them from the initial stage of the project, we hope to help them grow and make successful choices through our big data and decade’s worth of experience in the field," says Ruiz Xie, AlgoriX Chief Executive Officer.

In 2020, the global game market revenue will reach 174.9 billion US dollars. Meanwhile, the total number of players will reach 2.68 billion. By 2023, the figures are expected to hit $217.9 billion and 3.05 billion, respectively. This opens a lot of opportunities in the market.

However, lack of funding and business know-how to take their products global limits most boutique gaming studios’ chances to succeed in international markets. By incubating these talented game developers, AlgoriX seeks to equip them with the knowledge and resources they need to succeed. Singapore-based GamAI is one of the first game studios to be part of the program chosen for their ingenious game concepts.

"Even though there’s fierce competition in the gaming industry," adds Ruiz Xie, "we believe the market space is large enough to accommodate rising stars such as GamAI. The key to a successful game is creativity combined with strong advertising capabilities. AlgoriX provides such a space where creativity can flourish with the help of technology and business expertise."

For the company as a whole, the strategic addition of AlgoriX Studios enables it to further enrich its ad offerings by providing demand partners and advertisers more targeting options and unique traffic to reach their audience worldwide.

"We have witnessed tremendous growth in our Ad Exchange revenue this year, specifically in our casual gaming inventory. Lockdowns caused by the global pandemic also fueled the increase in advertising dollars spent on gaming inventory as more users download and play games on mobile phones. In addition, compared to previous years, we’re seeing brand advertisers becoming more receptive to advertising on gaming inventory. This is important because only with a robust advertising ecosystem can we bring more talented developers to the forefront," comments Frederic Liow, AlgoriX SVP for Revenue Growth and Strategy. 

Lastly, as part of the company’s effort to continuously innovate in the game development and ad tech space, it also recently partnered with Limpid to monetize its games through Roku TV. Through this, the company aims to further leverage the use of Connected TV (CTV) advertising to diversify its offerings. 

About AlgoriX – AlgoriX is an independent global media and technology company. Through its products AlgoriX Studios, AlgoriX Exchange, and AlgoriX Entregar, it delivers game publishing, in-app monetization, and advertising solutions. At present, the company serves over 900 million active users and covers over 30,000 apps worldwide.

Flipclutch Research Report: Hologram AR promotes the field of game shopping and becomes a new 5G infrastructure solution

Leave a comment

HONG KONG, Dec. 30, 2020 — AR (Augmented Reality) is to superimpose virtual information in the real world, that is, to "enhance" reality. This enhancement can come from sight, hearing, and even touch. The main purpose is to integrate the real world and the virtual world in the senses. Among them, the cognition of the real world is mainly reflected in vision, which requires the use of cameras to help obtain information, and feedback in the form of images and videos.

The basic part of AR is the integration of computer vision and related fields. AR is an interdisciplinary subject of computer vision and human-computer interaction. The foundation of AR is artificial intelligence and computer vision.

AI generally refers to artificial intelligence. It is a new technological science that studies and develops theories, methods, technologies, and application systems applied to simulate, extend, and expand human intelligence.

With the improvement of living standards and the development of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, various industry scenarios have put forward new demands for service quality and efficiency. Visual AI is the entrance of artificial intelligence, and how to promote the implementation of scenes has become a key issue.

What is visual AI? The face recognition we often use now is a kind of visual AI. Visual AI allows the machine to learn to "see" and substitute the human eyes for feature extraction and analysis of images. Meanwhile, it trains the model to perform tasks such as detection and recognition of new image data and establish an artificial intelligence system that can obtain "information" from images or multi-modal data. When these AI smart devices understand the world, they can help humans improve the efficiency of processing information in production and life.

However, for visual AI, face recognition is only a starting point, and the market application space is being further explored.

Unconsciously, visual AI has become a part of our lives. For example, there is commodity recognition in smart retail, "pig face recognition" in smart pig farms, and road signs in autonomous driving. The new infrastructure of vision AI puts "eyes" on everything. In the future, the video data will usher in a big explosion.

Foreign manufacturers have invested heavily in the AI supercomputing center, and WIMI independently develops a holographic cloud platform for computer vision.

In practical applications, platform computing supports the video data of C-end users, such as video analysis technology to assist program production and broadcasting, and short videos and Internet live broadcasting integrated with AR special effects technology. In addition, it also supports the video data of B-end industries, for example, the autonomous driving road testing, which aims to meet the high-precision, low-latency, high-performance, and fast iteration requirements of algorithm deployment on the application side.

WIMI has the world’s leading 3D computer vision technology and SAAS platform technology. WIMI uses AI algorithms to turn ordinary images into holographic 3D contents, which is widely used in holographic advertising, holographic entertainment, holographic education, holographic communication, and other fields.

WIMI Hologram Cloud, as a computer vision technology-led company in China, according to reports,its business covers multiple links of the Hologram AR technology, including Hologram computer visual AI synthesis, Hologram visual presentation, Hologram interactive software development, Hologram AR online and offline advertising, Hologram ARSDK payment, as well as 5G Hologram communication software development. It is a holographic cloud comprehensive technical solution provider. WIMI’s commercial application scenarios are mainly concentrated in five professional fields, including home entertainment, light field theater, performing arts system, commercial publishing system, and advertising display system.

As the infrastructure, the 5G network has a major technological breakthrough from serving people to serving things at the same time. Since AI technology is a basic enabling technology, AI applications can be found in almost every field, and the same is true in the 5G field.

At present, the network complexity of operators is getting higher and higher, and the data traffic is increasing explosively. The existing network equipment cannot satisfy users’ data explosion. Because of the increase in network complexity, the costs of operation and maintenance, as well as the network construction costs, have greatly increased.

In particular, 5G not only connects people to people, but also connects things to things. The existing network maintenance and management methods are still manual interventions, and there is no way to adapt to the needs of the 5G era.

Therefore, 5G needs "self-energized" management, such as autonomous connection path selection, automatic network connection health status analysis, and even the ability to self-repair known faults. Using the technical expertise of AI, such as autonomous learning and data analysis, gives 5G the ability to be "autonomous" and "self-energized". In turn, 5G empowers AI with broader connectivity.

BREA, California, Dec. 11, 2020 — ViewSonic Corp., a leading global provider of visual solutions, today announced visual display solutions to support console gamers. With the recent launch of the PS5 console, and its lack of 1440p resolution output support, an urgent need arose among gamers.

Immortal Witch “Hexe Marie” Arrives in Shadow Arena

Shadow Arena‘s 19th Hero, Hexe Marie is known as an immortal witch named "Marie", who had always stood by Belmorn, the last king of the Hexe Kingdom. By using the Wicked Sorcery skill, she can summon various enemies including Skeleton Soldiers to form her army. Players are encouraged to avoid face-to-face confrontation until they have sufficient minions to form a powerful army. 

Hexe Marie has a special movement skill that enables players to move in the air when falling from a high place or fighting from afar. She can also become a strategic fighter when her long-range skills are used along with her movement skill. 

To commemorate the Hexe Marie update, a special in-game event will take place until December 13. Players who upload tips and tricks videos regarding Hexe Marie’s gameplay such as her combos, mechanics, and fighting styles on YouTube with the event hashtags can participate in the event. A special Goyen Gavi Regan skin will be rewarded to the winner.
