Seven virtual and augmented reality application areas boosted by global 5G deployment
The market overview includes the education and training industries, public sector, automotive, manufacturing/engineering and robotics, healthcare, retail and hospitality, and gaming and entertainment. It also highlights the challenges and barriers to industry-wide VR/AR adoption and finds that the use cases for VR and AR across sectors will increase significantly with the growth in global 5G deployments.
“Although the adoption of VR/AR technology outside gaming and entertainment is still in its infancy, immediate work needs to be done to establish the use cases and vision for VR/AR and develop solutions to disrupt the predicted spaces,” said Melody Siefken, information & communication technologies research analyst, in a prepared statement. “Countries at the forefront of 5G deployments are the United States, South Korea, and China, with other countries catching up with either mobile or fixed wireless access to 5G.” Siefken added: “There is an optimistic push for 5G deployments to cater to the rising demand for bandwidth and the need for faster networking speed. With the COVID-19 crisis, there has been a slowdown in the supply chain that could delay 5G deployments, which could ultimately impact the use cases of AR/VR.”
According to Frost & Sullivan’s research, market participants should focus on the following industries to capitalize on immense growth prospects:
Education and training: AR/VR could enable remote training and distance learning to create engaging classroom content that accomplishes the same objectives as in-person schooling.
Healthcare: Virtual therapy, vital health monitoring and the opportunity to create platforms for training and exploration are benefits of using AR/VR in healthcare.
Automotive: Aside from driver assistance and customer experience, there are many emerging application areas for VR in the automotive industry. For instance, VR can provide an alternative to new vehicle test-driving, which is safer and cheaper as it eliminates the need for additional vehicles for test driving.
Manufacturing, Engineering and Robotics: The manufacturing industry is being disrupted by the use of VR and AR in design, prototyping, production, prevention of workplace hazards, inventory management, training, and assembly.
Public Sector: AR/VR can enhance emergency management, smart cities and defense programs. Disaster preparedness, real-time information overlay, and personnel training are some of the application areas in the public sector.

HPQ Silicon Resources (HPQ:TSXV) is a Canadian producer of Silicon that is building a line of specialty silicon products needed for electric batteries.
More than just lip service, HPQ has already announced NDA’s with 2 undisclosed companies in the space and has hinted at other NDA’s that are so tight they could not even be announced.
But October 22, 2020 HPQ Silicon went from “a company that is just talking to auto and battery manufacturers to a company that is doing business with a global auto manufacturer” according to CEO Bernard Tourillon, after the Company announced:
Tourillon went to intimate that this order puts HPQ on the global silicon map that he expects to lead to significantly greater interest from the industry.
This was echoed in the press release which stated:
“HPQ NANO is looking forward to the December 2020 start of the Gen1 PUREVAP TM NSiR reactor in order to start delivering material as we work to keep up with the expected strong interest in our Nano Silicon products.”
If that wasn’t enough, PyroGenesis CEO Peter Pascali was even more emphatic when he stated:
“As the technology provider we would be the first to say that nothing is guaranteed. In every new application there will always be challenges along the way, both anticipated and unanticipated. With that in mind, we are happy to note that at this point in time we see nothing that should prevent us from successfully producing the desired powders using PUREVAP TM Nano Silicon Reactor .
5 YEARS ON THE SILICON ROAD LESS TRAVELED
Over the past 5 years, HPQ has teamed up with 2 world renowned technology partners to manufacture high purity silicon cleaner, cheaper and better than anyone in the world – because you can’t dig it out of the ground like other battery metals such as graphite, cobalt and nickel. Now HPQ is on the verge of sending samples of its industry leading silicon to NDA and other potential partners as early as December.
However, despite providing shareholders with a great return during this period, HPQ’s silicon strategy was still met by skepticism amongst investors who found it easier to understand traditional battery metal stories.
TESLA CHANGED EVERYTHING OVERNIGHT
This all changed 7 days ago on September 23rd 2020, when this headline emerged from Tesla’s “Battery Day”
“Tesla To Revolutionize Use Of Silicon In Batteries: Slash Costs, Increases Range”
With the specific references to Silicon + Cheaper Cost + Longer Range, you would have thought HPQ wrote this headline themselves given the fact this is EXACTLY what they have been telling the world for the last 5 years.
Now, thanks to the Company’s latest press release and Tesla’s commitment to silicon, HPQ Silicon no longer has to convince anybody that Silicon is the right track.
If you are serious about battery metals and electric vehicles entering a paradigm shifting parabolic stage in the next 5 years, then you owe it to yourself to watch this interview with CEO Bernard Tourillon.
Ethereum set to become first blockchain to settle $1 trillion in one year
According to crypto market data aggregator Messari, the 30-day rolling daily average for Ethereum transaction volume is currently $7 billion, with Bitcoin processing less than $3 billion.
If the current trend continues, Messari predicts Ethereum will become the first public blockchain to settle $1 trillion in transfers over a calendar year.
The third-quarter decentralized finance boom has resulted in the Ethereum (ETH) network processing more than twice the daily transaction volume of Bitcoin (BTC).
According to crypto market data aggregator Messari, the 30-day rolling daily average for Ethereum transaction volume is currently $7 billion, with Bitcoin processing less than $3 billion.
If the current trend continues, Messari predicts Ethereum will become the first public blockchain to settle $1 trillion in transfers over a calendar year.
Ethereum’s previous strongest calendar year relative to Bitcoin was 2018, when it processed half a billion in volume, which was 59% as much as Bitcoin’s $849 million that year.
Bitcoin is on-track for its second-strongest year behind 2018, projected to process $800 million. Yearly transaction value for Bitcoin and Ethereum: Messari
It’s not a straightforward comparison between the two blockchains, however. With the DeFi bubble largely taking place on top of Ethereum-powered smart contracts, the Ethereum network now processes the volume of an entire sector, while Bitcoin largely represents transfers of value denominated in BTC.
Messari’s Ryan Watkins attributes much of Ethereum’s volume spike to increased ERC-20 stablecoin volumes, with the majority of Tether (USDT) transactions now taking place on Ethereum and yield farming-driven demand pushing supply growth of more than 600% for MakerDAO’s Dai stablecoin.
Watkins also notes booming on-chain liquidity from decentralized exchanges, with Uniswap and Curve generating more than $20 billion in volume combined during September. DEXs now represent more than 13.6% of total exchange volumes.
However, Messari predicts “the next twelve months could come to define the platform wars” in crypto, noting Ethereum’s ongoing high fees as a problem that rival blockchains will seek to solve, alongside “the rise of parallel DeFi ecosystems.”
“Look for all would-be ETH Killers to continue to empty out their treasuries to build a parallel DeFi sector throughout the end of 2020 and beyond.”
In August, Chris Burniske, a partner at PlaceHolder Capital, asserted that Ethereum and Bitcoin are racing each other to reach the first $1 trillion market cap in crypto.

Else Nutrition Brings Plant-Based Products to the Infant Nutrition Space
Demand for plant-based foods extends far beyond just burgers
One of the companies that has moved to fill a previously unserved segment of the plant-based food market is Else Nutrition Holdings Inc. (TSXV:BABY) (OTCQX:BABYF), an Israel-based food and nutrition company focused on developing innovative, clean, and plant-based food and nutrition products for infants, toddlers, children, and adults.
The company’s flagship product is a non-soy, non-dairy plant-based infant nutrition formula. Else Nutrition celebrated its US product launch in August with products now available in retail stores and online.
NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2020 – Over the past few years, plant-based meat and dairy substitutes have gone from a niche product to a major segment in the food industry. Now, these products are increasingly available just about everywhere you look in the food industry. Plant-based options are now available not just in your local grocery store but at your local pub and fast food joint. Plant-based products are now being offered by a wider range of brands from recently IPO’d startups to international giants. These products are also working their way into a wide range of subcategories in the food market, including infant nutrition and diet foods. In the wake of smash plant-based hits like Impossible Foods, companies like Else Nutrition Holdings Inc. (TSXV:BABY) (OTCQX:BABYF) and Forum Merger II (NASDAQ:FMCI) are finding unserved niches in the market, while established food companies like Tyson Foods (NYSE:TSN), ConAgra Brands (NYSE:CAG), and Kellogg (NYSE:K) play catch-up.
Else Nutrition Brings Plant-Based Products to the Infant Nutrition Space
Demand for plant-based foods extends far beyond just burgers. One of the companies that has moved to fill a previously unserved segment of the plant-based food market is Else Nutrition Holdings Inc. (TSXV:BABY) (OTCQX:BABYF), an Israel-based food and nutrition company focused on developing innovative, clean, and plant-based food and nutrition products for infants, toddlers, children, and adults. The company’s flagship product is a non-soy, non-dairy plant-based infant nutrition formula. Else Nutrition celebrated its US product launch in August with products now available in retail stores and online.
On September 24, Else Nutritionannounced that the company had made its products available to US consumers on Amazon.com. The move makes Else’s products available to more consumers than ever via the world’s largest e-commerce platform. Direct-to-consumer online sales are a cornerstone of Else’s go-to-market strategy, particularly as the ongoing global pandemic has driven up demand for products available via delivery. Additionally, Else Nutrition is also pushing to expand its presence in grocery and health food stores. The company announced on August 20 that it had hired a specialized broker to help bring their products to one of the US’s largest retail chains.
Else Nutritionannounced on October 13 that Health and Happiness (H&H) International Holdings Limited, a global health and wellness company and a leading infant nutrition player in China, had increased its investment in the company by C$4.0 million. The private placement, which was previously announced on September 15, now totals C$25.7 million. Else Nutrition plans to use the funds to accelerate and increase its production and supply capabilities, marketing activities, and product development.
Companies Move into the Plant-Based Foods Market
Tyson Foods (NYSE:TSN), the largest meat company in the United States, announced in June that it would be moving into the plant-based meat alternative market. The company announced its new Raised & Rooted brand, which will sell plant-based and mixed meat/plant products. Tyson Foods, with its already massive consumer reach, says it expects plant-based foods to be a billion-dollar business for the company.
ConAgra Brands (NYSE:CAG), the parent company for brands like Orville Redenbacher, Hunts, and Duncan Hines, has been selling meat-free products through its Gardein brand since 2009, but as plant-based meat substitutes have surged in the market, the company is updating its offerings. On September 23, ConAgra announced a line of Gardein soups featuring plant-based meat alternatives.
Kellogg (NYSE:K) got in on the plant-based trend with its Incogmeato line of products. The company is focusing on products aimed at families and young children. To that end, Kellogg announced on September 17 that the company would be partnering with Disney for its latest plant-based offering, Mickey Mouse-branded “Chick’n” Nuggets.
On October 15, holding company Forum Merger II (NASDAQ:FMCI) announced a partnership with plant-based food company Ittella International to form the Tattooed Chef brand. Tattooed Chef will focus on a wide range of meatless foods, some of which will include plant-based meat alternatives.
Plant-based alternatives to meat are the biggest trend in the food industry in years, and the marketplace is filling up fast. Companies like Else Nutrition are positioning themselves within specific, previously unserved segments of the food industry to ensure that they can become the main plant-based players in that space.

Announced the recent publication of two scientific articles supporting Innocan’s approach of using CBD-Loaded Exosomes (CLX) for the treatment of COVID-19
The first paper entitled, “Potential application of mesenchymal stem cells and their exosomes in lung injury: an emerging therapeutic option for COVID-19 patients” published in the Journal of Stem Cell Research & Therapy on October 15, 2020
study demonstrated that exosomes have the ability to enhance alveolar fluid clearance and promote epithelial and endothelial recovery through secretion of protective factors
Demonstrated that the non-psychoactive reagent in cannabis (CBD) can significantly reduce the lung damage induced by cytokine storms
Herzliya, Israel and Calgary, Alberta–(October 23, 2020) – Innocan Pharma Corporation (CSE: INNO) (FSE: IP4) (the “Company” or “Innocan“), is pleased to announce the recent publication of two scientific articles supporting Innocan’s approach of using CBD-Loaded Exosomes (CLX) for the treatment of COVID-19. The first paper entitled, “Potential application of mesenchymal stem cells and their exosomes in lung injury: an emerging therapeutic option for COVID-19 patients” published in the Journal of Stem Cell Research & Therapy on October 15, 2020 outlined that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and their exosomes have potential therapeutic functions in the handling of COVID-19. Specifically, the study demonstrated that exosomes have the ability to enhance alveolar fluid clearance and promote epithelial and endothelial recovery through secretion of protective factors.
The second paper entitled, “Cannabidiol (CBD) modulation of apelin in acute respiratory distress syndrome” published in the Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine on October 15, 2020, demonstrated that the non-psychoactive reagent in cannabis (CBD) can significantly reduce the lung damage induced by cytokine storms (which is a physiological reaction in humans and other animals in which the innate immune system causes an uncontrolled and excessive release of pro-inflammatory signaling molecules called cytokines) caused by COVID-19.
Innocan Israel, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, together with Tel Aviv University Prof. Daniel Offen and his team, are developing a revolutionary combined therapy using MSC-driven Exosome-based loaded with CBD. The new combination is designed to target COVID-19 and neurodegenerative diseases.
Through their potential synergistic anti-inflammatory effect, CBD-Loaded Exosomes hold the potential of helping the body fight against the COVID-19 virus’s direct damage and its cytokine storm. This product is planned to act as a “guided missile” to the infected tissues, as the Exosomes migrate to Inflamed zones that are carrying CBD.
Prof. Offen added: “The recent publications which support our unique approach is exciting. The potential synergistic effect of CBD and Exosomes is of great potential for COVID-19 and other diseases known for local inflammation that causes destruction. We are doing our best efforts to accelerate the development and to potentially offer a new approach for the COVID-19 treatment”.
About Innocan
Innocan Israel is a pharmaceutical tech company that focuses on the development of several drug delivery platforms containing CBD. Innocan Israel and Ramot at Tel Aviv University, are collaborating on a new, revolutionary exosome-based technology that targets both central nervous system (CNS) indications and the COVID-19 Coronavirus using CBD. CBD-Loaded Exosomes hold the potential to help in the recovery of infected lung cells. This product, which is expected to be administrated by inhalation, will be tested against a variety of lung infections.
Innocan Israel signed a worldwide exclusive license agreement with Yissum, the commercial arm of The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, to develop a CBD drug delivery platform based on a unique-controlled release liposome to be administrated by injection. Innocan Israel plans, together with Professor Berenholtz Head of the Laboratory of Membrane and Liposome Research of The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, to test the liposome platform on several potential indications. Innocan Israel is also working on a dermal product that integrates CBD with other pharmaceutical ingredients as well as the development and sale of CBD-integrated pharmaceuticals, including, but not limited to, topical treatments for the relief of psoriasis symptoms as well as the treatment of muscle pain and rheumatic pain. The founders and officers of Innocan Israel each have commercially successful track records in the pharmaceutical and technology sectors in Israel and globally.

Askott Games has signed with a leading online casino games aggregator to distribute its proprietary Random Number Generated (RNG) games to online casinos and sportsbooks in the European market
Askott Games will see their RNG games available to over 120 online casino websites
Besides hosting the games on its B2B offering, the Chameleon Gaming Platform, Askott Games will sign agreements with existing casino game aggregators to make the games available to thousands of online casinos and sportsbooks worldwide
Vancouver, British Columbia and Sliema, Malta–(October 22, 2020) – FansUnite Entertainment Inc. (CSE: FANS) (OTC Pink: FUNFF) (“FansUnite” or the “Company”), a technology company providing leading online gaming solutions, is pleased to announce Askott Games has signed with a leading online casino games aggregator to distribute its proprietary Random Number Generated (RNG) games to online casinos and sportsbooks in the European market.
The first casino game aggregator to publish the Askott Games content will be The Ear Platform. The Ear is a European-focused aggregator that will give Askott Games access to more than 120 online gaming sites they are integrated with.
FansUnite has produced unique esports and video game-themed RNG/casino games under the Askott Games brand, which are ready to be launched to the market. Besides hosting the games on its B2B offering, the Chameleon Gaming Platform, Askott Games will sign agreements with existing casino game aggregators to make the games available to thousands of online casinos and sportsbooks worldwide. Game aggregators compile the best casino games they can find and offer them to online casinos and sportsbooks through a single integration. Given that the arrangements are on a revenue share basis, Askott Games will receive a share of the net gaming revenue every time one of their games is played.
“When we started Askott Games we knew that online casinos were looking for ways to reach and engage with younger customers that were not interested in traditional casino offerings,” said Scott Burton, CEO of FansUnite Entertainment. “The positive response we have received for our internally produced esports and video game-themed RNG games validates this thesis.”
“This integration with Ear will provide more exposure to our games and will enable us to market to over 120 websites and thousands of end customers. This deal and the ones thereafter, give us the ability to sell our games through the networks aggregators have built and provide us the ability to quickly scale while producing a steady stream of recurring revenue to our overall business.”
Andrei Siomela, Commercial Director of The Ear Platform, added, “We pride ourselves on having the best casino offerings available to our customers. Currently, we provide over 120 iGaming sites throughout Europe with casino games developed by tier 1 game providers. With the games that Askott is producing, we can offer games specifically designed for the most desirable audience, 18-30-year-olds, to our partners. Our customers are looking for solutions that appeal the most to this demographic. We can’t wait to have Askott Games incorporated into our platform, and we have been very excited to see the pipeline of games that the Askott team has in development.”
Askott Games is currently completing its fourth game with plans for over ten within the next 12 months. With this announcement, FansUnite will also be launching the dedicated Askott Games (askott.games) site and begin business development.
