  • Revealed its new brand logo to represent the company’s personality and the experiences it offers to users – immersive augmented reality.
  • New Logo Represents the Company’s Personality and User Experience

VANCOUVER, BC ans ERIE, PA , April 7, 2021 – Imagine AR Inc. (CSE: IP) (OTCQB: IPNFF) (“ImagineAR” or “Company”) an Augmented Reality Company that enables sports teams, businesses and enterprises to instantly create their own AR mobile campaigns, has revealed its new brand logo to represent the company’s personality and the experiences it offers to users – immersive augmented reality.

According to the Logo Design team lead, Sylvie Ozipko , “the logo is impactful and now being treated in all capital letters; it offers the brand a strong presence while still keeping it approachable and fun. Using an A with the horizontal line removed, also reinforces the triangle shape in our AR icon and continues our theme of imagination as when read, our brains fill in the missing shapes.  The prism and lighting effects creates depth and interest to the logo and reflect the endless possibilities of our immersive content.”

“The treatment of the AR acronym has two significant parts; first the blue main triangle is the representation of physical space where our experiences are generated; secondly the angled cut out is the perspective of the letter A, and the representation of the interactive piece of an AR experience”, further explained Ms. Ozipko.

CEO of ImagineAR, Alen Paul Silverrstieen, stated “We are excited to reveal our new branded logo which clearly represents ImagineAR today as we expand globally delivering immersive and experiential AR mobile engagements.  Our new re-branded website will be launched within 60 days.”

VIDEO – ImagineAR $IP.ca $IPNFF “March Madness” Ends With 13 Announcements And 23 Deals / Selections By The Biggest Names In Sports, Media and Entertainment For Its Augmented Reality Engagement Technology $DBO.ca $YDX.ca $SEV.ca $NTAR.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 2:15 PM on Tuesday, April 6th, 2021
http://www.smallcapepicenter.com/imagine%20ar%20squre.jpg

NCAA March Madness concluded last night with Baylor beating Gonzaga …. but the small cap augmented reality March Madness ended last week with ImagineAR making 13 announcements leading to 23 deals or selections by the biggest name in sports, media and entertainment including:

  • Minnesota Vikings / Philadelphia Phillies / St. Louis Blues
  • Rogers Sports & Media ($14B revenue / $30B Market Cap)
  • Sinclair Broadcast Group ($6B revenue / $2B Market Cap
  • First Tube Media / Grubhub / Megahan Thee Stallion
  • Global Sports Initiative 3 Year / $380,000
  • Brazilian Soccer Club Atlectio Mineiro
  • …. and much more including the company’s rapidly evolving NFT initiative (Oasis Digital Studios) with Liquid Avatar Technologies

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 smart phone”  

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 entire 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 a record Q1 to prove it, including being selected by First Tube Media to bring its AR to livestream programs.  On it’s face, you can’t blame investors for thinking “ok, cool little initiative” …. until you discover that ImagineAR premiered its Web AR capabilities at GrubHub Sound Bites, an interactive concert featuring none other than 3-time Grammy Winner and Global Superstar Megan Thee Stallion on March 26th.  How did they perform?  World Renown Billboard Magazine reported: 

Within the first 48 hours following the livestream, over 10 million viewers have engaged with the content while driving over 160k interactions from the QR’s scan engagement.

Yep .. they blew their numbers out of the water.

And then there’s the Company’s partnership with Liquid Avatar Technologies (LQID:CSE) to bring AR Enhanced NFTs to market through Oasis Digital Studios, which on its face you couldn’t blame investors for once again thinking “ok cool little initiative” … until you discover:

  • On March 15th they teamed up with McCartney Media Inc to support the development of AR Enhanced NFT’s for the entertainment and lifestyle sectors, becoming a major player in the NFT space.
  • Just two weeks later, LQID, IP and McCartney Multimedia announced that renowned photographer, artist and former music executive, May Pang is bringing her personal and exclusive collection of John Lennon’s Lost Weekend photographs featuring her intimate 18 months with the rock ‘n’ roll icon to the Non-Fungible Token (NFT) collector market through Oasis Digital Studios.

In two weeks Oasis has moved from an exciting initiative to on the verge of making NFT history.

Watch this incredible interview with CEO Alen Paul Silverrstieen to discover how fast ImagineAR is moving and why its March Madness is just the beginning of what’s to come in 2021.

  • This investment brings BCF’s total Syscoin treasury holdings to approximately 6,353,607 Syscoin, worth approximately CAD$3 million at current market rates 1 .
  • The Company “stakes” its current Syscoin balances and intends to stake its additional Syscoin holdings.
  • Staking currently generates an annual return of approximately 5.71% 2 , increasing to approximately 7.71% after tokens have been staked for one year.

TORONTO, April 06, 2021 — Blockchain Foundry Inc. (“BCF” or the “Company”) (CSE:BCFN), a leading North American blockchain development firm, is pleased to announce that it has acquired 2,223,215 Syscoin tokens which it intends to hold as a long term asset. The Company purchased these Syscoin tokens for approximately C$0.45 per token for a total of CAD$1 million. This investment brings BCF’s total Syscoin treasury holdings to approximately 6,353,607 Syscoin, worth approximately CAD$3 million at current market rates 1 . The Company “stakes” its current Syscoin balances and intends to stake its additional Syscoin holdings. Staking currently generates an annual return of approximately 5.71% 2 , increasing to approximately 7.71% after tokens have been staked for one year.

BCF believes strongly in the future of Syscoin, its growing market acceptance as a blockchain infrastructure ecosystem, and its future valuation potential. The Company is a core contributor to the open source Syscoin protocol and has also created proprietary applications that rely on the Syscoin ecosystem. Going forward, BCF intends to create decentralized finance applications, including NFT systems, using Syscoin’s infrastructure.

On April 30, 2021 3 , the Syscoin protocol will have its first upgrade since December 2019, upgrading to Version 4.2, known as Syscoin LUX (“LUX”). LUX will introduce several cutting-edge features into Syscoin, including zero-fee layer 2 smart contract functionality, fractional and non-divisible NFT capabilities and notary features which allow for customizable payment rules defined off-chain to be enforced at the core blockchain level. LUX will also preserve Z-DAG, Syscoin’s patent pending high-throughput transaction technology which allows for more than 140,000 transactions per second at scale.

“We are pleased to be making a substantial financial investment in Syscoin as we look forward to the upcoming release of Syscoin LUX. Creating strong economic alignment between the Company’s Syscoin-related efforts and the potential appreciation of the Syscoin token is important so that BCF shareholders can directly benefit from increasing adoption and acceptance of the Syscoin token and infrastructure as enabled by BCF products and open source contributions,” said Dan Wasyluk, CEO of BCF.

Commenting further, Mr. Wasyluk added, “our enterprise software and decentralized finance product strategies rely on using Syscoin blockchain infrastructure for our product offerings, and investing financially in the success of the ecosystem allows our shareholders to directly benefit from this growth. The innovative features BCF has contributed to LUX are a direct response to the needs of our clients and cover a wide variety of use cases. These new features will serve as the backbone for certain BCF products. Additionally, LUX will enable developers to create applications powered by Syscoin Platform Tokens using the same languages and tools with which they’re already familiar.”

LUX enhances the core offering of Syscoin as a scalable, versatile and innovative blockchain platform and for the first time includes major new features sourced directly from BCF’s consulting practice, a real-world touch point unique to BCF’s strategy. The Company expects that LUX and the related products and use cases it supports will further enhance BCF’s reputation as a leading blockchain technology company and contribute further to BCF’s growth and the overall growth and acceptance of the Syscoin ecosystem.

KWESST $KWE.ca $KWEMF Signs Exclusive Counter-Drone Technology License Agreement $WRTC $BYRN.ca $PAT.ca $POWW

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 8:46 AM on Tuesday, April 6th, 2021

Amended license with AerialX Drone Solutions Inc. provides for exclusive rights to U.S. and Canadian militaries

  • Announced that it has signed an Amended and Restated License Agreement with AerialX Drone Solutions Inc. for counter-drone technology. I
  • n October 2019 KWESST signed a non-exclusive worldwide license with AerialX and has now gained exclusive rights to the technology for U.S. and Canadian militaries.
  • The product which is based on the licensed technology is being marketed under the name GreyGhostTM and is an autonomous soldier-portable micro drone missile system that defends against small hostile drones including swarms using high-speed kinetic impact.

Ottawa, Ontario–(April 6, 2021) – KWESST Micro Systems Inc. (TSXV: KWE) (OTCQB: KWEMF) (“KWESST” or “the Company”) today announced that it has signed an Amended and Restated License Agreement (the “Agreement”) with AerialX Drone Solutions Inc. (“AerialX”) for counter-drone technology. In October 2019 KWESST signed a non-exclusive worldwide license with AerialX and has now gained exclusive rights to the technology for U.S. and Canadian militaries. The product which is based on the licensed technology is being marketed under the name GreyGhostTM and is an autonomous soldier-portable micro drone missile system that defends against small hostile drones including swarms using high-speed kinetic impact.

The dramatic growth of small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS), commonly called drones, creates new threats and challenges for NATO countries including the US Department of Defense (DoD) and Canada’s Department of National Defence (DND). Recent technology trends have enabled state actors, non-state actors, terrorist organizations and criminals to easily convert legitimate applications of sUAS into efficient weapons. These small drones provide NATO adversaries with a low-cost means of conducting intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions or direct attack of NATO forces.

“This is a timely development as the U.S. and other NATO military agencies have expressed interest in our GreyGhostTM counter-sUAS drone missile and view it as a serious candidate solution to the growing threat of suspicious or hostile drones,” said David Luxton, KWESST’s Executive Chairman. “Our GreyGhostTM counter-sUAS drone missile has been down-selected by key agencies from among dozens of contenders for upcoming demonstrations and trials because of its unique ability to track and hunt hostile drones and neutralize them with kinetic impact.”

“The Pentagon last year established the Army-led Joint Counter-Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems Office, or JCO, and approved a set of requirements to help counter the threat posed by small drones and formalized requirements for how technology developed by industry players can seamlessly plug into a single command-and-control system. Evaluation of industry counter drone systems are expected to be ongoing throughout 2021,” said Jeff MacLeod, KWESST’s President and CEO. “In the U.S. and in 2021 alone, DoD plans to spend at least USD $404 million on counter-UAS (c-UAS) research and development and at least $83 million on c-UAS procurement(1).”

The counter drone market has grown considerably in recent years, with both major defense contractors and small technology companies actively competing to gain market share in a market that by one estimate could be worth $5.4 billion by 2028(2).

Under the Agreement announced today, KWESST’s also retains its non-exclusive worldwide rights. KWESST has agreed to issue AerialX 100,000 shares of KWESST in consideration of the new exclusive rights and an additional 100,000 shares of KWESST upon AerialX meeting certain technological milestones.

We can now exchange with the provincial, territories and federal instances to ensure coverage under publicly funded drug plans in Canada “, said Steve Saviuk , Valeo’s CEO.” While most prescriptions of LMWHs are initiated in the hospital, retail pharmacies play an important role in providing continued treatment to patients when they are discharged from hospital. Coverage by publicly funded drug plans are therefor a key component in making treatment available to Canadians”.

Commenting on the pCPA LOI, Frederic Fasano , Valeo’s President and Chief Operating Officer said; “We are particularly pleased to make Redesca ® available soon for Canadian patients and also for hospitals. The team at Valeo have worked tirelessly to ensure a robust supply of Redesca ® especially in the current pandemic conditions where patients suffering from SARS-CoV-2 are undergoing severe coagulopathy with various thromboembolic complications. LMWHs, like Redesca ® are key to prevent and treat those severe COVID-19 related thrombotic events.”

Established in August 2010 , the pan-Canadian Pharmaceutical Alliance (pCPA) conducts joint provincial/territorial/federal negotiations for brand name and generic drugs in Canada to achieve greater value for publicly funded drug programs and patients through the use of the combined negotiating power of participating jurisdictions.
