Empowering inspiration at Roland-Garros 2022 tournament with the OPPO Find X5 Pro’s flagship imaging experiences

OPPO

PARIS, FRANCE - Media OutReach - 8 June 2022 - Capturing the true magic of tennis has been a challenge for fans across the world. The disparity between the imaging capabilities of smartphone technology and the action on the court has been evident to see with grainy results, blurred visuals and underwhelming colour reproduction. OPPO’s latest technological innovations empower authentic tennis experiences for tennis lovers worldwide. OPPO: Premium Partner of Roland-Garros As the premium partner of Roland-Garros for the 4 th consecutive year, OPPO hopes to bring tennis fans’ inspiration with its advanced imaging technology to witness, capture, and share the heart-stopping moments on the court. In tandem with the continued partnership, OPPO’s new brand proposition, Inspiration Ahead, at its core, is centred on technology giving people the access to achieve success by pushing the limits of what is perceived as possible. Exemplifying the new brand proposition, OPPO launched the ‘Inspirational Light’ campaign, a global activation galvanising the support of tennis fans from across the globe for their tennis heroes. Creating innovative technology is at the heart of OPPO’s ethos, and the MariSilicon X imaging NPU is a prime example of that belief. With over ten years of research and development supporting its creation, the self-designed chip is dedicated to levelling photography and videography for tennis fans with stunning HDR quality. MariSilicon X’s computational power enables true-to-life imaging experiences that can reveal the true vibrancy of the iconic clay court with the OPPO Find X5 Pro. OPPO Find X5 Pro The result is a four-time improvement in perceived night video resolution, less grain and superior colour reproduction, making 4K Ultra Night Video possible for the first time on an Android smartphone and unlocking world-class imaging capabilities that keep up with players’ action on the Roland-Garros court. The Find X5 Pro takes content capture to the next level with low-light videography. Each frame has detail, clarity, and dynamic range comparable with a still night mode photo, making any tennis supporter proud to share on social media. Low light video has been a continual issue for smartphone photography. People have had to choose between capturing beautiful moments with low-quality results or just foregoing immortalising their experiences. With 4K Ultra Night Video, thanks to the MariSilicon X imaging NPU, this remains happily relegated to the past. The Find X5 Pro can capture the intensity and spirit of the court’s notable night matches without sacrificing quality so that tennis lovers can charge their own piece of Roland-Garros history. Shooting fast-paced action with a smartphone has historically caused challenges for many. From trying to snap the volleys of the elite tennis stars to the crowd’s roaring cheers, the results can end up looking shaky and wobbly at best. OPPO’s Five-axis Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS) in parallel with Ultra-Clear Shot and three-degrees anti-shake technology creates smooth and professional content without lag and incredible quality. Shot on OPPO Find X5 Pro: Court Philippe-Chatrier OPPO’s ‘Inspirational Light’ campaign, devised from the new brand proposition “Inspiration Ahead”, brings tennis fans globally to champion some of the world’s standout athletes. Inspiring messages of support from the avid tennis community were used to create striking yet beautiful light painting imagery showcased on the red clay court on each night of the tournament. At the end of each night match, when the stadium’s lights were turned off, OPPO’s expert light painting crew ‘painted’ the fans’ best comments using OPPO’s Find X5 Pro’s long exposure photography capabilities. The stunning visuals were captured by OPPO Find X5 Pro, with photos and videos posted across social media. Inspiration to succeed is pulled from both tennis stars and their fans. Shot on OPPO Find X5 Pro: Light Painting For tennis stars, the fans standing before them in the stadium inspire them to play with heart and perform their best. For the fans, it’s the players they admire on the court who encourage them to never give up and keep pushing the boundary. OPPO's industry-leading mobile technology will also inspire more people to witness, capture and participate in these real emotions and spirits on the court. With Roland-Garros 2023, OPPO will continue to be the premium partner for the legendary tournament. The leading technology company plans to bring even more tech innovations that excite tennis fans worldwide through standout imaging experiences. Bringing to life and reliving the true magic of the court is made simple with OPPO. About OPPO OPPO is a leading global smart device brand.

Retention Cloud Leader CleverTap Unveils TesseractDB™

CleverTap

CleverTap, the world’s No. 1 retention cloud, today announced it has unveiled TesseractDB ™, the world’s first purpose-built database designed to dramatically improve user engagement and retention for digital consumer brands. TesseractDB ™ brings true technology innovation to growth marketing leaders looking to deliver in-context, timely, personalized messaging and recommendations across all user touchpoints. TesseractDB ™ makes massive amounts of first-party user data in a privacy-friendly, accessible, and affordable way to power real-time user personalization. Leveraging machine learning and Artificial Intelligence (AI), it offers limitless scale and enables digital brands and businesses to harness data and context for every interaction. User engagement and retention start from Day One when a user launches an app for the first time. Research estimates that nearly 85% of all messaging is considered spam, an average of about 122 billion messages globally. About 36% of spam content is generated from ill-timed, non-personalized marketing messages. This problem continues to be prevalent due to the limited data technologies that are patently unable to store the massive volumes of first-party data required to offer a truly personal customer experience. “Today, we are excited to unveil TesseractDB ™, the data technology that powers the CleverTap platform. It will allow global growth marketing teams to achieve true omni-channel customer engagement,” said Sunil Thomas, CleverTap Co-founder and Executive Chairman. “In the last 40 years, MarTech vendors have cobbled together generic off-the-shelf data technologies in an effort to solve for end-user messaging. These technologies have been limiting, and as a result, brands simply cannot fully unlock their own user data for real and meaningful relationship building. To transition away from the spam and transactional communication that is so prevalent in MarTech today, we must make user data available, affordable, and easily accessible. This is why we invented TesseractDB ™.” TesseractDB ™ is a giant technological leap that removes all data related limitations typically associated with the MarTech industry. Using TesseractDB ™, digital brands can offer each user a magical onboarding experience and continue to deliver delightful experiences throughout their journey. TesseractDB ™ enables CleverTap to offer unmatched technology, features, and capabilities - Unlimited data look back periods without any limitations High speed, scale, and unmatched throughput Rich, granular first-party user data storage Built-in real-time machine learning and AI Hyper-personalized engagement and recommendations “Until now, data look back and access limitations, created by overages and cost, prevented brands from unlocking the full potential of first-party user data for engagement. This is a deep tech and science problem. With TesseractDB ™, CleverTap provides the industry’s most versatile segmentation and data processing engine for mobile engagement, ” says Momchil Kyurkchiev, Chief Strategy Officer, CleverTap. He adds, “TesseractDB ™ is designed to provide MarTech professionals a cost-effective and efficient way to capture unlimited data streams and deliver actionable insights and analytics to drive personalization and engagement.” About CleverTap CleverTap is the modern, integrated retention cloud that empowers digital consumer brands to increase customer retention and lifetime value. For brands that understand and value user retention, CleverTap drives context and individualization with the help of a unified and deep data layer, AI/ML-powered insights and automation. Customers worldwide representing over 10,000 apps, including Premier League, Bolt, Truecaller, Current Mobile, Trebel, Zé Delivery, TitleMax, YouNow, Albo, Vodafone Idea, SonyLIV, Gojek, Carousell, and Premier League, trust CleverTap to achieve their retention and engagement goals, growing their long term revenue. Backed by leading venture capital firms, including Sequoia India, Tiger Global Management, and Accel, the company is headquartered in Mountain View, California, with offices in Mumbai, Singapore, and Dubai.

Web3 Computing has Great Growth Potential, says Huobi Research Institute

Huobi Research Institute

While the adoption of Web2 computing technologies has gained traction in both the consumer and enterprise segments, security breaches and privacy concerns continue to mar this space. Web3 computing, with its inherent ability to alleviate such issues, will likely see massive growth in the near future and eat into Web2 computing’s market share, says a report by Huobi Research Institute. In Web3 computing, compute power from each user is shared across the blockchain network for data processing. User data is protected by a private key while data computed is verified by public key. Data is then networked from blocks to miners in a proof of work system, or validators in a proof of stake system. Results are generated when miners or validators compute the data from the blocks. Titled “ Web3 Computing: Where are the Opportunities and How to Avoid Traps ”, the report contends Web3 computing has room to grow in the decentralized cloud computing, distributed Artificial Intelligence (AI) and decentralized Virtual Private Network (dVPN) segments and examines each in detail. The report notes that centralized entities, which are prevalent in the Web2 world, are susceptible to data breaches because of the way data is stored, transferred and networked. As a single set of nodes is responsible for protecting multiple data sources, Web2 computing is subject to a single point of failure. Data colonialism is also of concern, with questions raised over data ownership by current tech giants. Web3 computing’s focus on user privacy will combat such concerns and fuel its growth. Demand for Web3 computing will be dependent on demand from other blockchain networks, NFT data links and marketplaces, Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Peer-to-Peer (P2P) enterprises. Blockchain-powered AI processing and computing has the potential to solve automation bottlenecks as on-chain data fed by users could drive neural networks to learn much faster than they do today using Web2 technologies. Such improvements in automation could solve existing problems present in the healthcare and manufacturing industries, among others. In the dVPN market, focus will be placed on forging private and secure connections, as data is processed on-chain. “The AI and deep-neural network market backed by the power of the blockchain is still in its early stages of development but holds great potential to add value to enterprise applications,” says Dave Lee, Researcher at Huobi Research Institute and author of the report. “The dVPN market will also see growth in the near future as citizens demand greater privacy and censorship-resistant networks.” To download the full report, click here. About Huobi Research Institute Huobi Blockchain Application Research Institute (referred to as "Huobi Research Institute") was established in April 2016. It is committed to researching and exploring new developments in the global blockchain industry. Its goal is to accelerate the research and development of blockchain technology, promote its applications, and improve the global blockchain industry ecosystem.

Minuteman Press Franchise Owner Ken Tays Receives Veteran Business Award from NJ State Veterans Chamber of Commerce and The American Legion

Minuteman Press International Inc

US Army Veteran Ken Tays, who owns the Minuteman Press franchise in Newark located at 20 Clinton St., was recognized with the award for Veteran Business under $3 Million by the NJ State Veterans Chamber of Commerce (NJSVCC) and The American Legion at the Disabled Veteran and Veteran Business Summit. The event was held on May 10 th, 2022 at Middlesex College in Edison. The Summit connected over 100 Veteran-owned businesses with private companies and state agencies to help facilitate partnerships on upcoming projects. Ken says, “It was a real honor to attend the Summit, connect with so many other Veterans and supporters of Veterans, and receive such a prestigious award from the New Jersey State Veterans Chamber and The American Legion. My business, Minuteman Press in Newark, is a small, Veteran-owned franchise, and an event like this is really helpful and inspiring to me.” Ken served in the US Army for 11 years and then earned his degree in financial services. Ken shares, “I worked as a Federal Bank Regulator for 12 years and then entered the private sector working for companies like PwC and Citibank. I decided to research franchise opportunities because I wanted to be my own boss.” In 2019, Ken bought Minuteman Press in Newark. He took over the successful business from Holly Kaplansky, who retired after owning and operating Minuteman Press in Newark for 15 years. Ken says, “At its core, Minuteman Press International is a family-owned business. I went out to Long Island and CEO Bob Titus talked to me for an hour and a half. I was looking for a printing franchise that had that family-like atmosphere and wasn’t so corporate. The other franchises I looked into just didn’t have that same feel to them where I felt comfortable like I did with Minuteman Press.” As for why Minuteman Press is the right fit for Veterans, Ken shares, “I feel like this is my business and yet Minuteman Press provides me with that security blanket of local support and guidance. I have no printing experience and the training and ongoing assistance from Jim Galasso and the local field staff here in Newark really helps me. I know I can contact anyone in the company and they will respond and be there without breathing down my neck all the time.” When asked about the rewards of owning his own business, Ken’s first inclination is to say, “Work life balance. That is something I feel like I have even though I am working hard and always on. I love the challenge of running my own business and being responsible for everything. I spent a lot of time in corporate America making money for other people and I wanted to do this. There are ups and downs but it’s on my time.” Ken’s advice for others who are looking into business ownership or franchising is, “I would say that I looked at a lot of businesses. Find something that is a good fit for you, and find a franchisor that has what you’re looking for. I spent several months doing my due diligence, and once you make that decision, you have to be committed.” For more information on Ken Tays’ Veteran-owned Minuteman Press business in Newark, NJ, visit https://www.mmpnewark.com.
