Leave a comment

NUSA DUA, Bali, Feb. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — H3C NAVIGATE 2023 International Business Summit in Bali, Indonesia, from February 23 to 26, concluded with a focus on further promoting global exchanges and collaboration in digitalization and making it possible for all countries to truly benefit from digital transformation.

During the summit, the Technical Forum invited experts, scholars, and partners from around the world to participate in a detailed discussion on the trends and challenges facing digital development and to offer innovative solutions that advance the growth of the global digital economy.

H3C Unified Intelligent O&M Platform has four core capabilities — Aggregation, AIOps, Application-Driven and Agile Delivery. Through the micro-service platform, the platform can meet the needs of customers in full-domain operations scenarios. Based on ITOM+AI, it can meet the requirements of efficient operations of increasingly complex IT infrastructure. By leveraging application-centric monitoring methods, it can also ensure customer service quality of digital transformation. The event-driven architecture realizes end-to-end agile service delivery.

“H3C is always embracing continuous innovation with leading market share in China’s ITUO (IT Unified Operation) market.

He explained that H3C had developed an ultra-wide, intelligent, converged, trusted, and green smart campus network based on cloud-native architecture, as well as a future-oriented all-optical network portfolio, which can efficiently address the pain points of campus network application and management, and provide solid support for the digital transformation of manufactures in campus network.

Users can realize unified management, operation and control through the 4i technology (iRadio, iStation, iEdge and iHeal), which is the core technology of Hierarchical Wireless Solution, to deliver fast, stable and high-quality connectivity experience anytime, anywhere, for anyone.

Zhao said that relying on H3C products and solutions, proper deployment and 4i core technology, we will provide a top-notch Wi-Fi network. We are willing to work with partners and customers, push the boundaries of technology, and open more possibilities of learning and working.

The digital economy is giving the global economy a big boost as it recovers and expands after the pandemic. As it becomes more and more vital for businesses to undergo digital transformation, new market opportunities will open up for H3C and its partners. In the future, H3C will make more use of its cloud and AI native technologies, make more innovations on its products and technologies, grow its presence in international markets, and develop localized scenario-based solutions under the principle of “Partner First”.

WHERENESS hopes to unleash potential of 360° media for virtual tours.

Leave a comment

KYOTO, Japan, Feb. 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Kyoto-based design studio ACTUAL Inc. (Headquarters: Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto, Japan. CEO: Yuki Tsuji) is releasing a new cloud service WHERENESS that will enable any user to create and share 360° virtual tours and experiences. The service was designed for museums and cultural attractions but is already finding a wider range of users. The official website launched earlier this month and a beta version of the WHERENESS application will follow this spring.

WHERENESS official website:  https://whereness.io/en

About WHERENESS

WHERENESS is a web-based cloud application that enables users to transform 360° media into interactive tours and experiences, with no special skills required.

After uploading any 360° media, users can plot a route for visitors to follow using the simple editing tools. Users can also embed text and two-dimensional images in the 360° space as they recreate an experience virtually.

WHERENESS works in a web browser and all data is saved in the cloud, meaning it can be accessed from anywhere with no locally stored files. Simultaneous online editing in teams is also being added as a feature.

Once edited, virtual experiences can be shared via URL and accessed through the web browser on any device such as a smartphone or PC. WHERENESS also supports sharing within closed groups and is the only service of its type to include paid ticketing options.

By enabling users to edit, host and share virtual experiences in the cloud, WHERENESS offers an unprecedented way for any cultural organization or physical location to simultaneously archive and share its story with the world.

Background to the Launch

Worldwide there are currently more than 100,000 art museums (*1), 2,000 art festivals, and 296,000 galleries. Using an approximate measure of frequency (*2), this produces a total of around 1.95 million exhibitions held each year. Most of these exhibitions will be dismantled after a few weeks or months, with no way to preserve the experience for future generations.

In 2017, ACTUAL Inc. joined an exhibition archive project called ART360° (Art Three Sixty) that proposes a future in which past events and artistic works are recorded and available for playback using 360° media.

One reason 360° video archiving has yet to become widespread is the high cost of production. ACTUAL Inc. realized that by lowering the cost of editing, storing and distributing 360° media, it could give more people richer ways to experience the past. These experiences can change the lives of people in the present and even improve our world today. This realization led to the development of WHERENESS.

*1 https://www.statista.com/statistics/1201800/number-of-museums-worldwide-by-region/
*2 Based on 8 annual exhibitions per art museum; 10 exhibitions per art festival; 4 annual exhibitions per gallery.

WHERENESS: An Overview

Three standout features of WHERENESS make it especially suitable for cultural organizations of all sizes:

Support for 360° video

Most applications for creating virtual tours (e.g. Street View) allow users to record and share still images only. WHERENESS enables users to upload 360° video so that experiences can include a time axis – ideal for installations and performances.

Simplified workflow

Most 360° video files are heavy and require long wait-times and high processor-power when editing. WHERENESS enables users to edit files in the cloud and export files more quickly, reducing time spent editing by around 75% while also cutting costs.

Income from ticket sales

Applications for creating virtual tours are typically designed for the real-estate market and offer no way to charge viewers for access. WHERENESS includes paid ticketing options for virtual museum tours and in future will enable actual sales of artworks and other objects in virtual space, creating additional income streams for users.

Homepage: https://whereness.io/en 

Service Availability

A Beta release is scheduled for spring 2023. WHERENESS is now accepting enquiries from potential Beta users.

Future Developments

Following a beta release of WHERENESS in spring 2023, there are plans to implement VR headset support, team management functions, timeline pop-ups, and audience analysis and reporting functions as these become necessary.

ACTUAL Inc. is also seeking the following partners:

  • Video production companies which already offer 360° recording, or are considering it.
  • Creators who already use 360° recording, or are considering it.
  • Manufacturers and distributors seeking to cooperate in developing sales channels.

Link to contact form: https://whereness.io/en

About ACTUAL Inc.

ACTUAL Inc. brings together the real and virtual worlds, with 360° recording at the center. Through innovations such as WHERENESS and SMART NOH THEATER, the studio proposes new types of cultural communication and human encounters.

(NASDAQ: WIMI) (“WiMi” or the “Company”), a leading global Hologram Augmented Reality (“AR”) Technology provider, today announced that it has developed its WIMI-MR system that enables users to edit and display holographic AR content and create their customized visual effects. The R&D team of WIMI-MR is currently exploring CGH (Computer-Generated Holograms) technology that allows artificial intelligence to generate holograms and display them in real-time quickly.

Whereas traditional photographs present an actual physical image, holograms contain information about the recorded object’s size, shape, brightness, and contrast. Holograms also own the ability to deliver 3D scenes with a continuous sense of depth and have a profound impact on VR and AR, human-computer interaction, education, and training. CGH enables 3D projection at high spatial angles through diffraction and interference numerical simulation. CGH uses a computer to generate a digital hologram using specific algorithms to reproduce the light field. As light waves can be described by parameters such as phase and amplitude, the computer solves the phase or amplitude of the light to produce a digital hologram, which is then fed into an optical modulation device called an SLM (Spatial Light Modulator), which modulates the phase or amplitude of the light (equivalent to put a zoom-able lens and a screen into the SLM). The SLM is then irradiated with coherent light to create a refreshable light field, resulting in a dynamic holographic 3D image that can be freely changed.

The application of CGH in AR systems allows the user to focus naturally on the content displayed across multiple depth planes. This advantage addresses many of the shortcomings of current AR devices, allowing users to interact with AR objects more easily at short distances. In addition, it can further improve user comfort by solving the problem of VAC (Vergence-Accommodation Conflict), a widespread concern in AR wearable device design.

At present, CGH is in its infancy and faces many challenges. Firstly, it is computationally intensive and requires high computing power. The second is the SLM’s low resolution and small size, and the overall imaging quality still needs improvement. WiMi’s R&D team is still exploring the CGH acceleration algorithm to achieve faster computational holograms through acceleration technology or to realize holographic displays with different depths of field in the SLM with visual tracking technology.

CGH displays are considered a transformative technology, with applications in fields ranging from VR to 3D printing, where the new technology can help immerse AR viewers in a more realistic landscape while eliminating eye strain and other side effects associated with prolonged viewing. With the development and application of CGH technology, the WIMI-MR system will enable future applications in a wide range of systems, including direct vision, VR, AR, and in-car HUD displays, further contributing to the growth of WiMi’s business.
