If you were a small cap Augmented Reality company from Vancouver that needed to appoint an old media / new media powerhouse to head up your European sales operations, we really don’t think you could have found someone better credentialed than Michael Anderson – and that’s exactly what ImagineAR (IP:CSE) (IPNFF:OTCQB) did.
Anderson is a highly regarded leader in the world of digital with his roots firmly based in UK media. Part entrepreneur, part corporate animal, he quickly rose through the ranks ending up as Managing Director of News UK. He worked for Rupert Murdoch and Les Hinton during his rise to the top and made the Board room of both News UK and Associated Newspapers (publishers of the Daily Mail).
Sensing the changing winds of the media business, Anderson was a driving force on the launch team of Metro, which overtook The Sun in 2018 as the largest circulation of any newspaper in the UK. At Metro, he was instrumental in the paper being cited as a new business case with commercial results not seen previously in the newspaper industry, growing revenue from £100k a week to £1m per week in just 12 months. Additionally, Mike was the founder of the Chelsea APPS Factory which included UK clients KPMG, Ladbrokes, Standard Life, TfL, Vanquis and Waitrose.
….. And now he is sensing another change in the winds to put his considerable talents and team behind the Augmented Reality solutions of ImagineAR.
If you don’t know what Augmented Reality (AR) is, this quote from Apple CEO Tim Cook is all the motivation you need to get up to speed:
“AR Will play an important role in how we use technology in the future – and promises to be as influential in our society as the smart phone”
Anderson wholeheartedly agrees, stating “ImagineAR is the most advanced AR platform in the market today and I am excited to launch the company’s sales and marketing initiatives in the UK and Europe.”
That quote is just the tip of the iceberg. Watch what Anderson has to say about the “unlimited possibilities of Augmented Reality” and some pretty good hints about whose doors he will be knocking on first …. which is pretty impressive given the fact August is vacation season in Europe 🙂
If our interview with CEO Alen Paul Silverrstieen and Michael Anderson is any indication, it sounds like the Company’s growth into the UK and Europe is all but assured in 2020 and well beyond.

If Google NEST is the leader in smart home technology, then Kontrol Energy (KNR:CSE) is the small cap equivalent for smart building technology. More than just lip service, their established Blue Chip customer base includes:
Beyond Meat
Oxford Properties
Brookfield Asset Management
Telus
Suncor Energy
….. Many More
Moreover, they’ve signed a major deal wth Toyota (Tsusho Canada), targeting 200 plants requiring up to $1 million each in automation retrofits.
CONCLUSION? When Kontrol Energy says they are entering a 4-week testing phase – with an independent lab – to determine if their technology can detect COVID-19 in the air of big buildings, you need to take the news seriously. You know who else took it seriously? The National Research Council, who granted Kontrol $50,000 to conduct the test. The amount may seem small but that’s because KNR has already done most of the leg work already and is now in the final 4-week testing phase.
If successful, the implications could be enormous for their Tier-1 client base, as well as, all commercial buildings, government buildings, schools and other big essential locations that need to find a way to start bringing people back. In short, Kontrol Energy’s BioCloud Analyzer could have a major impact on the North American economy.

Announced that it has received approval for an initial government grant of $50,000 from the National Research Council of Canada to accelerate its new Covid-19 testing technology, the Kontrol BioCloud® analyzer
Drawing from its extensive industry experience in air emissions and air quality monitoring, Kontrol is developing a new technology designed to detect and alert for COVID-19, in real-time, through rapid on-site air sampling and detection of aerosol and droplet encapsulated viruses in indoor and outdoor environments
Kontrol has developed its initial prototype and has commenced lab testing of the detection chamber
The lab will spend the next 4 weeks testing the detection chamber and the applicable interactions with COVID-19.
TORONTO, ON / August 5, 2020 / Kontrol Energy Corp. (CSE:KNR)(OTCQB:KNRLF)(FSE:1K8) (“Kontrol” or “Company“) is pleased to announce that it has received approval for an initial government grant of $50,000 from the National Research Council of Canada to accelerate its new Covid-19 testing technology, the Kontrol BioCloud® analyzer (“BioCloud analyzer” or “BioCloud”).
Can we measure for COVID-19 like we do for air quality?
Drawing from its extensive industry experience in air emissions and air quality monitoring, Kontrol is developing a new technology designed to detect and alert for COVID-19, in real-time, through rapid on-site air sampling and detection of aerosol and droplet encapsulated viruses in indoor and outdoor environments.

“Our team has been working to bring BioCloud to market since the onset of COVID-19 and we see a great need for a technology which can provide a level of assurance that spaces where individuals work and congregate can be safe,” says Paul Ghezzi, Chief Executive Officer of Kontrol. “If successful, BioCloud will be able to provide pro-active virus detection capabilities with an alert and notification system in public settings and to help maintain confidence as economies re-open.”
COVID-19 Testing
The current focus of testing for COVID-19 has been individual swabs. While this remains an important part of the testing regime it would not be possible to test all individuals daily in the cases of large gatherings and transportation.
According to the Center for Disease Control, “the virus that causes COVID-19 is thought to spread mainly from person to person, mainly through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks. These droplets can land in the mouths or noses of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs. COVID-19 seems to be spreading easily and sustainably in the community (“community spread”).Community spread means people have been infected with the virus in an area, including some who are not sure how or where they became infected.”
BioCloud has been designed to operate in open spaces where crowds gather or congregate. Through constant air sampling over designated intervals of time and a propriety detection chamber, designed to interact with COVID-19, BioCloud seeks to provide a real-time detection and alert system. BioCloud’s anticipated applications include schools, buildings, hospitals, transportation, or any location where crowds are gathered.
“When we initiated the design of BioCloud we leveraged our extensive experience in sampling for low level particulate matter in industrial facilities which includes air quality, emissions and various gases,” says Gary Saunders, VP of Kontrol. “We appreciate the government support received to date to accelerate the development of BioCloud.”
Development Plan
Kontrol has developed its initial prototype and has commenced lab testing of the detection chamber. The lab will spend the next 4 weeks testing the detection chamber and the applicable interactions with COVID-19. Following the testing period, Kontrol will announce the results and provide further details on its go to market strategy.
Kontrol is not making any express or implied claims that its BioCloud analyzer has the ability to measure or detect COVID-19 at this time.

TORONTO, Aug. 05, 2020 — Datametrex AI Limited (the “Company” or “Datametrex”) (TSXV: DM, FSE: D4G, OTC: DTMXF) – Through its COVID-19 screening solutions, Datametrex has commenced rolling out its screening solutions for health and safety in the education sector in anticipation of Purchase Order from schools and international student recruiting agencies by launching of the new COVID-19 pre-screening and screening tools.
As the current pandemic continues to impact our world, education is one of the most hit industry. With schools plan to reopen in September, Datametrex is offering solutions to educational organizations for the health and safety of students, teachers, and administrative staff. A recent article by the CBC mentioned that language and private schools are struggling to survive the pandemic because they depend on international students coming into Canada. There are roughly 200 language schools across the country, with 40,000 international students in attendance. With the tools available by Datametrex, these organizations could pre-screen, screen, and report on exposures to decrease the spread and mitigate the risk.

“With schools poised to reopen in Fall, we offer important tool to the education industry. Key is not only opening up the school but also maintaining schools to stay open,” said Marshall Gunter, CEO of Datametrex. “With our pre-screening and screening tools, educational organizations can now provide a safer academic environment to the students and safer workplace to teaching staff with rapid results and trends for COVID-19 in real-time.”
These tools were developed as a direct response to customer needs and the ever-changing physical distancing recommendations, safety guidelines, and workplace flexibility initiatives being observed across North America and around the globe.
