Tencent Games Explores the Value of Game Technology with More Than 40 Product Releases

Leave a comment

SHENZHEN, China, June 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Tencent Games introduced 44 product and projects for the Chinese market, along with several projects that harness game-related technology for cultural, industrial and scientific research at its “SPARK 2022” conference.

At the virtual conference, Tencent Senior Vice President Steven Ma emphasized the growing importance and benefits of crossover technologies that originated during game development, with players even beginning to experience a blending of the real and online worlds, in a sort of “hyper-digital reality.”

“The gaming industry is not one that develops in isolation. Since its inception, the industry has always been mutually driven and symbiotically developed with cutting-edge technologies, and have accumulated a series of unique technical capabilities,” said Ma – or, more accurately, Ma’s high-fidelity digital double built using homegrown next-gen technology from Tencent’s NExT Studios, which delivered his message to the online crowd. “Along with the continuous progress of technology and the deepening of our understanding, games will play a more-important role in both economic development and social life, creating even greater technological breakthroughs and richer value.”

New Games Announced

Tencent Games gave updates on 26 games, including eagerly awaited titles such as League of Legends Esports Manager, Return to Empire, Code: To Jin Yong, and cloud gaming technology solutions START ENGINE along with its first demo EVOLUTION.

They included an announcement that League of Legends Esports Manager, the official mobile game of League of Legends tournament, will start an open beta test in the Chinese Mainland market in July.

Return to Empire – a strategy-based mobile game developed for the Chinese market by TiMi Studio Group in partnership with Xbox Game Studios. It integrates the classic elements from the Age of Empires IP and expands gameplay with a greater degree of freedom across 625 square kilometers of the 3D battlefield.

The armies on the battlefield can be created and matched freely, while strategies can be adjusted at any time to provide an intuitive imagination of the battlefield. Return to Empire reimagines the classic siege battles on both offense and defense, with a rapidly changing battlefield raising the challenge for players. This allows players to go beyond traditional strategy, and exploit the tactical potential of each and every situation.

Code: To Jin Yong, is being developed by LIGHTSPEED STUDIOS, uses the Unreal Engine 5. It is adapted from the acclaimed series of martial arts (“wuxia”) novels by famed novelist Jin Yong and authorized by Ming Ho Publications. As the first Unreal Engine 5 open-world game starring the legendary heroes of the Jin Yong wuxia world, Code: To Jin Yong will be released to players around the world in the near future. Players can look forward to freely exploring the vast and grand world of martial arts.

With the power of Unreal Engine 5, classic characters in Jin Yong’s masterpiece, such as Yang Guo, Qiao Feng, Linghu Chong and more, will come to digital life. At the same time, the engine enables developers to recreate spectacular martial arts techniques through engine’s underlying physics system. The game also utilizes photogrammetry technology to provide immersive experience. “Jin Yong Wuxia Landmarks” project will see more partners joining in the future, digitizing martial arts landmarks and pushing development capabilities and continuing to promote the culture of martial arts.

Tencent Games also dangled new information about cloud-game technology, with START ENGINE offering EVOLUTION, a demo of its native cloud game technology. In the demo, players are brought back to the era of dinosaurs in a movie-level, real-time interactive scene with ultra-fine rendered dinosaurs and dense woods. Native cloud-game technology organically supports synchronization for multiple players.

The START ENGINE team is focused on the development of native cloud game technology and offering a brand-new game experience to the end users. START ENGINE is looking forward to working with global game studios, indie developers and film industry creators to explore more possibilities and embark on a journey to a full-real world together.

Game Technologies Empowered Projects

Also at the conference, Tencent Games demonstrated how it has applied game-related technology to other areas, such as scientific research, culture heritage, and industrial applications.

Culture Heritage

Tencent Games has assisted in the protection and restoration by building the digital Great Wall of China, the Library Cave of Dunhuang and the Beijing Central Axis through the use of game technologies including Programmed Content Generation technology (PCG), Physics-based Rendering Technology (PBR), Cloud gaming, Virtual avatars and other game technologies, allowing the transformation of the heritage into vivid stories, allowing public to better understand the history and culture behind in a compelling way.

Industry

BaoSteel Co., Ltd., Tencent Games and Tencent Cloud have cooperated to apply Real-time Cloud Rendering, Motion Capture, Reality-Virtuality Interaction, AR/VR and other game technologies to create the digital twin of the Baosteel 1580 hot rolling mill, and to build a holographical glasses-free 3D full-fidelity digital factory. In the digitalization of steel industry, for the comprehensive data collation, management and analysis, and real-time simulation and interaction, this partnership integrates Tencent’s game technologies into different scenarios in the steel manufacturing process for the first time, to improve the manufacturing efficiency and make steel manufacturing smarter, more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly.

Tencent is also working with China Southern Airlines’ subsidiary, Zhuhai Flight Training Center, to develop and build China’s first Full Flight Simulator (FFS). The jointly built visual system will use graphics rendering and physical simulation technologies from games. Using real-time simulation technology widely used in games, Tencent can quickly build remarkably life-like and constantly changing virtual environments.

Scientific Research

Tencent Games also announce it will join the Chasing All Transients Constellation Hunters (CATCH) program initiated by the Institute of High Energy Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Key Laboratory of Particle Astrophysics. The CATCH program will harness Tencent Games’ industry-leading AI technology: multi-agent reinforcement learning algorithm empowering more than 100 satellites to intelligently and collaboratively observe the Extreme Universe, where matter exist in the extreme condition.

The intellectual action generation and real-time physical simulation technology that powers Non-Playable Characters (NPCs) in games will also be utilized to make robots smarter while working around humans. The technology will improve the autonomous decision-making ability of robots to adapt to different situations. The breakthroughs will help pave the way for future real-world applications, such as elderly care and other people-oriented services.

New app from Health in Transportation & NuraLogix allows drivers to perform CDL health checks that target hypertension and type-2 diabetes.

Leave a comment

DETROIT, June 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Professional drivers, working both in mass transit and in trucking, are now able to access a 30-second CDL health check that focuses on the dangers of hypertension and type-2 diabetes by utilizing a new smartphone app from Health in Transportation and NuraLogix.

New app from Health in Transportation & NuraLogix allows drivers to perform CDL health checks that target hypertension and type-2 diabetes.
New app from Health in Transportation & NuraLogix allows drivers to perform CDL health checks that target hypertension and type-2 diabetes.

This app, called the CDL Health Scanner, allows drivers to quickly scan key vitals using either an iPhone or Android device. It is a unique, driver-centric system that relies on the revolutionary Anura technology to measure Blood Pressure (BP) using transdermal optical imaging delivered via a smartphone camera. When combined with the user’s Body Mass Index (BMI) data, the risk-factors for hypertension, type-2 diabetes, and even obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), the bane of over-the-road truckers, come into clear focus.

The Background

In a situation in which the industry is experiencing a shortage of close to 100,000 drivers – and when putting a new driver behind the wheel involves five-figure expense for the carrier – reducing the number of medical disqualifications that result from a Department of Transportation physical is the top priority. Close to 80% of those disqualifications are caused by high BP, dangerous blood-sugar levels and OSA, and this app not only warns drivers that they are in dangerous territory, it also links them to specialty health coaches who can guide lifestyle changes that will transform their health situation.

The principals of Health in Transportation have a proven track record, over several decades, of finding realistic ways for drivers to improve their health, despite the massive difficulties that life on the road creates. The CDL Health Scanner is the culmination of that work and their greatest achievement. It promises to protect the lives and livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of professional drivers whose life-expectancies are years less than their contemporaries. Fleets benefit too by reducing driver-replacement costs, while providing savings in their self-financed health insurance programs.

The Partnership

It would be impossible for Health in Transportation to offer this valuable tool to the transportation sector without the incredible breakthrough that the Anura technology represents. Just as important, by opting to partner with Health in Transportation, NuraLogix has ensured that this product can be supplied to drivers for only a few cents a day. The mark of true innovation is its ability to impact the lives of millions and this app is the first step towards doing just that.

Of course, the CDL Health Scanner app utilizes only a portion of the monitoring capability that NuraLogix is equipped to provide. However, getting Anura into the hands of hundreds of thousands of professional drivers will generate a wealth of data that can only enhance the Anura platform when, as will inevitably be the case, this type of non-intrusive health monitoring becomes the norm for in-car information systems. Truck drivers, many of whom drive vehicles that include interior cameras that monitor their situational awareness and other performance metrics, are the perfect population to help propel this concept into the mainstream.

About Health in Transportation

This truly unique app – patent pending – was first envisioned by Bob Perry, President of Health in Transportation, a company that provides innovative and practical Health & Wellness solutions for professional drivers in trucking and mass transit. For forty years, their programs have helped thousands of drivers avoid medical disqualification with unique coaching mechanisms that drivers utilize on the road to upgrade their health status. Consequently, health insurance carriers such as Cigna have often availed themselves of the company’s services in their ongoing efforts to boost preventative care.

Known as ‘The Trucker Trainer’ by professional drivers nationwide, Bob Perry brings a very distinctive perspective to the transportation industry and its over-the-road drivers. Bob comes from a family of professional drivers and has played a critical role in the paradigm shift of regulatory agencies – both private and public sector entities – and consumers towards understanding the driver-health challenge.

Health in Transportation has experienced successful working relationships in the past with industry giants such as Covenant Transport, Greyhound, Sherwin Williams, and R+L Carriers, as well as with top OEM Daimler.

About AutoTech Detroit

The CDL Health Scanner app was launched today at AutoTech Detroit, which brings together the full automotive tech industry to immerse attendees in the future of automotive, by showcasing the newest tech and the latest vehicles.

About NuraLogix

The Anura technology powering the application comes from NuraLogix, the Toronto-based pioneers of the world’s first contactless blood pressure and vital sign measurement platform. The NuraLogix technology uses their patented Transdermal Optical Imaging (TOI™) in which a conventional video camera is used to extract facial blood flow information from the face. NuraLogix’s Anura technology is based on extensive peer-reviewed research and clinical studies, differentiating them from their competitors. NuraLogix has conducted multiple clinical studies and published research in many notable publications such as Frontiers in Psychology, Scientific Reports, and the Journal of Natural Sciences (JNS). NuraLogix currently holds 11 patents, with more pending. Their impressive client roster includes Japanese systems integration leader NTT Data; Sanitas, the second largest medical insurance company in Spain; and Lafiya Telehealth, a Nigerian-based health telehealth platform which provides 24/7 virtual healthcare services to residents in remote and rural areas.

Mintegral ranked 2nd in advertising spend for global hyper-casual games on iOS and rose to 3rd in advertising spend on Android.

Compared to Tenjin’s previous report which showed an increase in Android ad spend, the Q1 2022 report shows ad spend distribution is now even. At the time, advertisers had more uncertainty surrounding iOS 14.5 and tended to be more cautious with their budget allocation. Mintegral remains strong on iOS, as the proprietary algorithm was not reliant on IDFA and instead utilized predictive modeling and dynamic creative optimization (DCO) to improve efficiency.

There has also been a shake up in the Android rankings with Mintegral now entering the Top 3 across all operating systems and signifies our strength in the market.

“We are honored to be included on Tenjin’s Hyper-Casual Games Report as it demonstrates our ability to provide advertisers with sustainable growth across both iOS and Android,” said Erick Fang, Mintegral CEO. “We will continue to grow stronger and provide cutting edge advertising technology that brings our clients and partners success in the global market.”
