  • Escape Room NJ will be first-ever Escape Room in North America to integrate immersive Augmented Reality within their three locations, as well as, offer AR Scavenger Hunts to their consumer and corporate clientele

VANCOUVER, BC and ERIE Pa., June 30, 2020  - Imagine AR Inc. (IP:CSE) (IPNFF:OTCQB) (“ImagineAR” or “Company”) an Augmented Reality Company that enables businesses, sports teams and organizations to create their own AR campaigns, would like to take this opportunity to provide investors with a mid-year corporate update during this holiday shortened week in which both the Canadian and American stock markets will be closed for their respective independence day holidays.

Though the Company fully expects to resume the release of further news related to significant business development after this week, investors will be happy to hear about new developments in this update.

AN INCREDIBLE BUT NOT SURPRISING 2020 SO FAR FOR IMAGINEAR

Alen Paul Silverrstieen, CEO of ImagineAR, stated “This was the year that, by all expert accounts, was the year that Augmented Reality would begin to make its first commercialization push and it did not disappoint.  Despite dramatic geo-political, economic and societal volatility from the start of 2020 resulting in delays to some of our negotiations, we were still able to close a significant financing, announce significant national and global partnerships, and add top notch people to our board and team.  It is safe to say that we anticipate significant results to stem from this positioning in the second half of the year and, quite frankly, for the foreseeable future”.

MARKET CAPITALIZATION APPRECIATION IN 2020

The Company’s great progress in 2020, as well as, positioning for growth can best be observed through our market capitalization growth in 2020.  At the outset of the year, ImagineAR had a market capitalization of less than $5,000,000.  Today, that figure sits at approximately $25,000,000.

Furthermore, liquidity and dollar volume trading in the first quarter was encouraging and showed us signs of promise, which came to fruition at the end of the second quarter with daily dollar volume trading regularly exceeding $500,000 and even surpassing $3,000,000 recently.  

Silverrstieen added “With a market cap of approximately $25 million dollars, ImagineAR continues to provide investors with a great opportunity to participate in the anticipated growth of Augmented Reality, which promises to be a disruptive over the next 3 years and then well beyond into the rest of the decade”.

Datametrex $DM.ca Introduces Nexalogy “SMART”

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 12:23 PM on Monday, June 29th, 2020
  • Nexalogy’s SMART is an advanced proprietary AI technology that minimizes human involvement
  • This is designed for significant decrease in the time to insight and report production
  • The internal product testing is being finalized with several existing clients, mainly Government, and is expected to be fully available in Q4 2020

TORONTO, June 29, 2020 – Datametrex AI Limited (the “Company” or “Datametrex”) (TSX-V: DM, FSE: D4G, OTC: DTMXF) is pleased to introduce Nexalogy’s Social Media Automated Reporting Technologies (“SMART”).

Nexalogy’s SMART is an advanced proprietary AI technology that minimizes human involvement. This is designed for significant decrease in the time to insight and report production. The internal product testing is being finalized with several existing clients, mainly Government, and is expected to be fully available in Q4 2020.

In a world in conflict and disinformation with the daily expansion of internet technology, AI is an integral tool to decipher this complex digital landscape. In 2020, big data analytics is helping companies and government organizations deploy AI probability algorithms to make smarter decisions by predicting possible outcomes. The speed at which these predictions are made provides an extra layer of defence against terrorism, pandemics, and overall crises, as well as an edge to be ahead of social trends, competitors, and new audiences.

“Innovation is vital to the ever-changing artificial intelligence (“AI”) space. One of the key drivers for Datametrex’s future growth is the automated reporting technology’s ability to provide big data collection with automated reports in a more responsive, accessible, and speedy manner.” Said Marshall Gunter, President and CEO of the Datametrex Ai, “Datametrex has been working hard with the developers in the research and development of the new application, which will enhance customer experience and generate a new income vertical.”

About SMART (Social Media Auto-Reporting Technologies)
           
SMART reduces time to insight by offering powerful automated analysis to the intelligence sense-making operation. Rather than replacing the human analyst, he/she sets the parameters of the data collection via keywords and other social media information (e.g., usernames and links) to identify data needing extraction and analysis. SMART extracts the relevant data (in English, French and Russian) and produces automated reports as a point of departure, allowing clients to do more with less when it comes to the deluge of data and the expansion of information available on social media. SMART allows an analyst to deal with hundreds of thousands of social media documents in minutes rather than hours and days

In addition, the analyst can also specify filters on the data to get automatic reports on subsets of the data focusing on specific times, entities, social media users, or topics. The resulting reports are delivered either as PDFs, DOCs or via API for further processing in other applications. The report generation can be scheduled to occur either at regular intervals (daily, weekly) or to be triggered by specific changes in the conversation (e.g., a sudden increase in volume or an increase in mentions of a particular named entity).

Lastly, SMART analysis helps the user to easily access the required information for sense-making, and helps to detect patterns that currently go unrecognized. This is needed in both the context of the ‘short game’ of crisis reporting and the ‘long game’ of identifying narratives, as discussed within the BEND (Build Engage Neutralize Distract) framework.

More information will be available upon the inauguration of the technology.

(Bloomberg) — Mary Meeker’s venture capital fund Bond Capital has backed online education startup Byju’s, marking its first investment in India.

The startup, which simplifies math and science concepts for K-12 students through games and videos, has seen tremendous growth over the past year. That has further accelerated with coronavirus lockdowns shutting schools and prompting parents, teachers and students to seek out online resources.

Byju’s has over 57 million registered students and more than 3.5 million paid subscribers, and has doubled revenues from 28 billion rupees ($370 million) in the last financial year.

Byju’s is “endorsed by millions of students” and is a clear leader in education technology, Meeker, a general partner at Bond, said in a funding announcement. Existing investors include Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg’s Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and Sequoia Capital.

The University of Windsor plans to form an intercollegiate esports team this coming fall semester.

Forming the team is a collaborative effort between the Office of Student Experience, the Student Success and Leadership Centre, the Faculty of Science, and the School of Computer Science.

“Our students have been waiting for their chance to compete on the international stage,” he said in a media release. “I’m excited to finally give it to them with the support of the phenomenal partner ecosystem we’ve established.”

Meister and his team started last year and since September 2019, have signed on more than 250 UWindsor students from all faculties, including large contingents from engineering, science, and arts, humanities and social sciences.

The initial launch will involve a modest investment with a vision toward growth says Cindy Crump, director of the Student Success and Leadership Centre, which will be the home base of Lancer Gaming.

“Esports represents a great way to enhance the student experience and raise the profile of the University across the globe,” said Cindy Crump, director of the Student Success and Leadership Centre. “We’re excited to start a conversation with partners who want to see the University grow in this way.”

Esports is a billion-dollar industry worldwide that features both professional and recreational teams in online gaming competitions. In 2019, esports had an online viewing audience of 443 million, with numbers continuing to grow. At the time of writing there are more than 200 collegiate esports teams in the United States and Canada, including St. Clair College.

Chris Houser, dean of science, has supported esports activities, calling them an “innovative way for UWindsor to stand out” in the increasingly competitive recruitment environment, and noting that they present opportunities for research.

“Esports is not only about computer science and gaming, it also has ingredients of business, marketing, creative writing, visual and dramatic arts, and several other academic areas,” Houser said.

Lancer Gaming will make resources available for students to participate, including a room in Vanier Hall outfitted with high-speed internet and gaming consoles for those without access to suitable equipment.

Meister plans a 10-person team to represent UWindsor in upcoming international League of Legends tournaments and to have the school join the Ontario Post-Secondary Esports league set to launch this fall.

HADO: The Amazing Ways Augmented Reality Is Changing Sport

  • Now that Japanese start-up Meleap created the world’s first physical e-sport called HADO, gamers have a way to be active while competing in the digital world
  • HADO is an entirely new experience the company calls techno sports that uses augmented reality (AR) tech and motion sensors without requiring the player to be tethered to a gaming system, controllers, or cables

By: Bernard Marr Contributor

Now that Japanese start-up Meleap created the world’s first physical e-sport called HADO, gamers have a way to be active while competing in the digital world. HADO is an entirely new experience the company calls techno sports that uses augmented reality (AR) tech and motion sensors without requiring the player to be tethered to a gaming system, controllers, or cables. The company has three AR offerings, including HADO Augmented Sport (Player vs. Player), HADO Monster Battle, and HADO Shoot; they will soon add HADO Kart.

HADO: The Amazing Ways Augmented Reality Is Changing Sport

First Experience to Merge Physical Athletics with AR Technology

In HADO Augmented Sport, you can see how physical the game can be. It resembles dodgeball with players competing in an arena and flipping and bending to avoid being hit by the opposing team’s energy balls. Competitors can play 1v1, 2v2, or 3v3. Each team stays on one side of the court. The goal is to hit the other team with as many energy balls as possible to drain them of their “lives” and get points during a timed event.

Players can defend themselves with shields and barriers. If the shields get hit, they will weaken and ultimately need to be recharged. If you remember playing dodgeball, there is a lot of ducking and diving in HADO, just as there is in the traditional dodgeball game. Quick reflexes and coordination are necessary to avoid being hit. Players also have the option to alter their play characteristics to become more defensive (shields get stronger, but a slower recharge time for attacks) or offensive (quick recharge time after attacks, but shields are weaker). In addition to shield thickness and recharge speed, players can alter the bullet size. These adjustments can allow for different players on the same team to play different strategic roles in the competition.

AR of HADO

The digital experience is enabled by an AR device that players wear on their heads and a motion sensor the size of a smartphone worn on the wrist or forearm. Players are able to move unrestricted in the real environment while interacting with the digital items they can see through the AR headset. This is not a sport played in your living room, but in 60+ arenas in 15 countries that give ample space for the competition similar to other physical sports such as volleyball and basketball. AR tech is also lighter weight, so players can dive and move without feeling weighed down. The possibilities allowed through AR make applications for HADO’s e-sport virtually unlimited.

Physical Fitness with HADO

HADO requires players who are physically agile and have gaming skills as well. Players who succeed at the game will be in constant motion while diving, bending, and squatting to evade the energy balls hurled by the other team. When players shoot energy balls, they use a punching motion. Players must have great hand-eye coordination and be adept at blocking from a variety of angles. There are VR games such as Sparc and Audioshield that can help players with hand-eye coordination training required to be good at HADO.

Global Expansion

HADO has held several competitions and events in Asia, including the HADO World Cup tournament where the world’s top players compete for a cash prize and bragging rights as the HADO World Champions. There are plans to expand globally by 2020. Currently, 600,000 users have experienced HADO sports.

HADO is launching a pro AR league in Japan this year as well. Tournaments are planned every week and will award a cash prize to the winners. The first official season of the pro league begins in the third quarter of 2019.

As this new concept of e-sports gains popularity, a HADO arena might open near you, where you will be able to compete with other players locally to see what it’s all about. Until then, you can watch YouTube to see players in action.

Not only did Meleap make many childhood dreams come true with the creation of HADO and by bringing virtual and physical realms together, but they proved that AR technology and athletic sports can be combined for an entirely new experience. It will be interesting to watch as others apply these concepts to other sports competitions and use cases in a variety of industries.
