As the name implies, ImagineAR (IP:CSE / IPNFF:OTCQB) is an Augmented Reality Company … but they’re not just any AR company. Imagine enables businesses to create their own mobile phone AR campaigns with no programming or technology experience.  

Why is that important?  Ask Apple CEO Tim Cook who stated 

“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 smartphone”   

For those of you that are just discovering Augmented Reality, “AR” is essentially a technology that lays digital images and graphics over the real world, typically by looking through your cell phone or special glasses.  If you think it sounds like a gimmick, it isn’t.  AR will create an entirely new revenue stream for businesses, organizations and sports teams that will boggle the mind in the next 3 years.

ImagineAR provides small-cap investors with an opportunity to participate in the growth of this mega-market in the making …. and IP delivered record revenues in the first 9 months of the year with a 385% increase over last year to prove it, thanks to deals and announcements as follows:

Tier-1 Clients  

  • Shoppers Drug Mart
  • NFL Alumni, 
  • 2 biggest soccer teams in Spain – Valencia / Real Sociedad
  • Club Atletico Mineiro (Brazil) 
  • Grubhub Sound Bites: Megan Thee Stallion, Noah Cyrus

Hype Sports Global Accelerator Program where it was selected by 18 various sports teams, leagues, and broadcasters including 

  • SPORTS – Vegas Knights, Philadelphia Phillies, 
  • ESPORTS – SK Gaming; FC Koln
  • MEDIA – Sinclair Broadcasting, Rogers Communications, 

All this success was recently recognized when Imagine AR was Selected by the STA Group as one of the 2021 STA Startups Category Stage Winners for Sports Fan Engagement

What did Alen Paul Silverrstieen, CEO and President of Imagine AR have to say;

“To be selected as a 2021 STA Startup Category Stage Winner for Fan Engagement is truly an honor and further positions our company as one of the up-and-coming global sports tech leaders,” said “This STA selection can open up new sales and partnership  opportunities for ImagineAR as well throughout the world. We are excited to compete against other global winners for the overall 2021 Startup of the Year Award in the near future.”

And if that is not enough…

In advance of the holiday season, ImagineAR is launching FameDays.com to deliver celebrity hologram e-greetings to sports and entertainment fans. 

Using the FameDays TM mobile app for both IOS and Android, fans can enjoy birthday, holiday, superfan hologram video messages right in their home and record their own videos and pics with the virtual star as if they are standing right next to them in real life and share in social media. Premiere hologram stars are expected to include NFL & MLB Superstars, Reality TV Stars, Pro Wrestlers and new celebrity holograms to be added regularly.

VIDEO – HPQ Silicon Receives U.S. Patent for Its PUREVAP™ Quartz Reduction Reactor Technology

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 4:37 PM on Tuesday, November 30th, 2021

HPQ Silicon Resources $HPQ $HPQFF is a Quebec-based company that is developing high value-added silicon products that are sought after by battery and electric vehicle manufacturers – but nobody has yet delivered – until now.   

If that sounds a lot like what other small companies are saying lately, $HPQ differentiates itself as a leader of the pack thanks to the following:  

The Company recently announced Receipt of U.S. Patent for Its PUREVAP™ Quartz Reduction Reactor Technology

To understand the importance and the implications of this milestone, this excerpt from the press release says it all:

The US patent covers the PUREVAP™ QRR innovative process, which permits the one-step transformation of quartz (SiO 2 ) into high purity silicon metal (from 99.5% to 99.99% Si) at reduced costs, energy input, and carbon footprint. This game-changing advantage means that the PUREVAP™ QRR process not only produces a higher purity silicon material than traditional processes, but it does not require the extremely pure feedstock needed by conventional processes. In fact, the process only requires 4.5 MT of raw material to make 1 MT of Silicon, versus the 6 MT required by conventional processes, a 25% reduction which potentially allows a 20% cash cost advantage versus the lowest cost traditional Silicon producer . Furthermore, as part of our ongoing strategy of protecting and strengthening the PUREVAP™ Intellectual Property Portfolio, a second patent application, focusing on a new and novel process was filed in 2019 and is presently advancing through the process. 

Bernard Tourillon, President and CEO of HPQ commented,

“HPQ has been at the forefront of Low-Cost Green Silicon innovation developments since 2015, and getting this U.S. patent approval, combined with the ongoing commissioning of the GEN3 PUREVAP™ QRR pilot plant , has occurred at an opportune time, as demand continues to rise and bottlenecks we had foreseen are now occurring in the silicon supply chain. With ESG principles playing an active role in materials sourcing, the world is more aware of the difficulty of securing the ESG compliant Silicon needed to meet its renewable energy goals. The reality of chronic underinvestment in new technologies combined with the offshoring of Silicon production capacity, has created a massive opportunity for HPQ and its PUREVAP™ QRR patented process, as we are the only company to bring to market a new process to make Silicon that is perfectly suited to the new demands and realities of the Silicon market

As the digital universe has continued to expand, there is an ever-increasing need to verify online identity.

The internet has evolved from dot-com read-only to Web 2.0 read and engage to Web3 … which I can best describe as entering the Matrix for some older viewers amongst us OR RP1 for our younger investors.   

The technical term is the Metaverse.  First coined in Neal Stephenson’s 1992 sci-fi novel, Snow Crash, as a concept that blends digital and physical existence.   

Today we discuss two great press releases:

Aftermath Islands

Oasis’ client Aftermath Islands has received significant interest on the sales from its initial Phase 1 launch of Virtual Land and is now launching its initial Virtual Land sales for Phase 2 of its metaverse platform. Like the previous Phase 1 group of islands, some of which are already sold out.

Meta Hero Project

A new 3D Meta Hero Project Avatar platform that allows users to fully customize and personalize their avatar with their life-like body type and photo-realistic face, together with unique skills and powers from a range of classes, giving them the ability to integrate with digital identity and be part of new and emerging online games and metaverse activities, including Aftermath Islands.

Meta Heroes combine gameplay, interactive engagement, and socialization seamlessly through fully controllable, high-quality, personalized 3D avatars. Meta Hero Project will be one of the first photo-realistic, life-like, customizable, personalized, and interactive NFTs, fully rigged for animation and play and that will conform to game, emerging metaverse, and digital identity standards.

VIDEO – Liquid Avatar Announces First Age Verifiable Metaverse Components With Cannabis and Vegas Partnerships On Aftermath Islands. LA Comic Con “Surprises” Planned For 100,000 + Attendees

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 8:48 AM on Thursday, November 18th, 2021

The internet has evolved from Web 1.0 (dot-com read only) back in the 90’s to Web 2.0 (read and write) over the last 15 years to the current emergence of Web3 … which I can best describe as entering the Matrix (for some older investors) OR Ready Player 1 for our younger investors.  

The technical term is the Metaverse.  It’s already a $30B market BUT we haven’t seen anything yet based on the following: 

  • According to Strategy Analytics, the global metaverse market size is projected to increase ~ 1,000% to $280 billion by 2025 from $30.7 billion in 2021 SOURCE  … but we think that’s a very conservative estimate
  • Bloomberg Intelligence believes the Metaverse can reach $800 billion by 2024.
  • South Korea’s biggest asset manager, Samsung Asset Management, recently launched a metaverse fund.

IS THE METAVERSE HERE

It was always coming but we just didn’t know when because we needed two things to happen – the evolution of technology and acceptance.  

The technology is now here thanks to AR, VR, Blockchain and the rise of NFTs, which Liquid Avatar has been at the forefront of since Day 1.

Acceptance was always a bit more of a wildcard because it is a pretty big shift – but the Covid-19 pandemic was the catalyst that drove the internet to the next stage of its evolution – the ‘Metaverse’ where cyberspace becomes more of an interactive 3D space with commerce and networking alongside content, much like the worlds in popular games such as Fortnite and Roblox,

Roundhill Investments, a major ETF sponsor focused on thematic and sector-specific investing stated “We Believe More Virtual Platforms Will Emerge … New virtual platforms will emerge, and they will likely exceed today’s leaders”

ENTER LIQUID AVATAR METAVERSE ENTRY WITH AFTERMATH ISLANDS

Two weeks ago Liquid Avatar announced that it’s Sale of Virtual Land NFTs in Aftermath Islands Metaverse Went Live .  Though we don’t have official numbers yet, we do know that all virtual land in “Musk Manor” and “Bitcoin Bay” sold out pretty fast, so it’s safe to say that Aftermath Islands is off to great success.

With that kind of success, it’s no wonder $LQID is planning to showcase its Metaverse chops at what might be the biggest Comic Con of the year as we come out of COVID – LA Comic Con – where they were named as the Digital Innovation Partner back on October 26.  Subsequently $LQID announced announced Hosting a Metaverse Mainstage Panel at Los Angeles Comic Con, Featuring Aftermath Islands ..where it will also has over 1,500 square feet of prime floor space that will showcase NFT subsidiary Oasis Studios, Aftermath Islands, comic and graphics art partner Apex Comics Group … and as yet to be announced “surprises”.

This week $LQID added another great element to Aftermath Islands, the first ever age verified islands as follows:

Aftermath Islands Partners with Primo Gardens to Create Cannabis Cove the First Metaverse Island Group Dedicated to Cannabis Sector

Aftermath Islands Partners with Vegas.com Creator to Launch Vegas Island in the Metaverse

These are powerful initiatives because the genesis of $LQID is biometrically verified digital identity … giving the Company a substantial advantage in the race towards building the Metaverse.
