AirConsole strikes strategic investment from KPIT Technologies to expand in-car gaming solution

AirConsole

Leading in-car gaming platform AirConsole (owned by N-Dream) has secured strategic investment from KPIT Technologies, an independent software integration partner to the automotive and mobility ecosystem to increase AirConsole’s lead in in-car gaming. The AirConsole in-car gaming solution was launched in new BMW vehicles earlier this year. With KPITs extensive experience in software development, integration and validation in Cockpit, Cloud and Connectivity domains, they are the ideal integration partner for N-Dream to scale the rollout of AirConsole to more models and brands. The innovative collaboration can be experienced at CES 2024, where KPIT will present their Cockpit of the Future together with AirConsole. Anthony Cliquot, CEO of N-Dream. “It's been a transformational year at AirConsole and in the industry. We have scaled our BMW partnership and have extended that to the MINI brand. Not only this, but we struck a partnership with Sony’s Who Wants To Be A Millionaire and will be launching the game in 2024. Now, working KPIT will take AirConsole to the next level. This investment will enable us to provide even more impressive games in the near future, increase our footprint in the automotive industry and overall establish ourselves as the ideal gaming solution for car makers and passengers. We look forward to CES 2024 where the world will get to see AirConsole in action.” KPIT’s equity investment in N-Dream will allow the company to grow their team, as well as enabling AirConsole to build out its game portfolio with well known gaming brands, creating more immersive experiences designed for the car. “Casual gaming is a fast-growing use case in a modern cabin. AirConsole is one of the industry’s early movers in the In-vehicle game aggregation space. KPIT is excited to strategically complement its software development and integration capabilities with AirConsole to realise new experiences for the Cockpit of the Future. Together, we will help OEM clients create monetizable Digital Services for existing vehicles and new launches”, said Mr. Pushpahas Joshi, EVP and member of the Executive Board at KPIT Technologies. The AirConsole in-car gaming solution allows passengers to play a diverse library of casual video games on the car’s entertainment system. AirConsole transforms the whole vehicle into a gaming console by using its surround sound system, big displays and interior lighting with smartphones as controllers. This unique experience is specifically designed for cars and catered to a broad audience from occasional players to hardcore gamers. “We are thrilled to have such a strong partner from the automotive industry. With autonomous driving, the way we commute will change forever. Together with KPIT we will spearhead in-car gaming, in a world where passengers will be able to spend much more time on entertainment.” says Andrin von Rechenberg, founder of N-Dream. AirConsole’s latest gaming software technology is able to run the games directly inside the vehicle and the service does not rely on streaming the games from the cloud, which would require more mobile bandwidth than is available in many cases. AirConsole is using smartphones to control the games, with each game having its own unique game controller design on the phone. Compared to controlling games with touch input on a flat head unit display, AirConsole is far more ergonomic, feels more natural and allows any passenger inside the car to participate in a multiplayer experience. About AirConsole AirConsole was founded in 2015 and is currently located in Zurich, Switzerland. AirConsole is the leading casual gaming platform for in-car entertainment. Its games are seamlessly played using smartphones as controllers while playing games on a big screen, eliminating the need for additional hardware. The Swiss gaming company recently launched a successful partnership with the BMW Group globally, making their games available in millions of vehicles. Over 18 million players have already played the AirConsole experience on TV and Web.

ETC Group CSO reports on bitcoin hitting 18-month highs

HANetf Holdings Limited

ETC Group founder and Chief Strategy Officer Bradley Duke speaks to Thomas Warner from Proactive about a recent crypto rally that has brought bitcoin prices to 18-month highs of more than $43,000. Duke gives his take on what's behind the rise in bitcoin prices before going on to explain what it means both for the wider crypto space and ETC Group itself. He expresses scepticism at the idea that price movements in gold and bitcoin are becoming increasingly correlated, saying that 'lately they've been acting more independently... I think actually the bitcoin story is driven more by its own news flow.' He highlights what he calls an "ongoing saga" over in the US of the Securities and Exchange Commission's approval of spot bitcoin ETFs. He says renewed enthusiasm for bitcoin represents a significant boon for ETC Group, saying that "now for the first time in Europe we're starting to see proper institutions ready to dip their toe in and make allocations."

OPPO Showcases its Sustainability Actions at COP28

OPPO

DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES - Media OutReach Newswire - 11 December 2023 - The 28 th Conference of the Parties of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC COP28) is taking place in Dubai, UAE from November 30 to December 12, 2023, bringing a global assembly of stakeholders dedicated to combating climate change. This year, OPPO was invited to join the COP28 Leadership Interviews, featuring a series of discussions among pioneers and business leaders on how collective action across various industries can contribute to a positive impact for the future. As an exclusive representative from telecommunication industry, OPPO shares its sustainability initiatives through innovation. To further support innovation in greening, OPPO also invites Bluepha Co., Ltd, one of the global winners of the 2023 OPPO Inspiration Challenge to showcase its green material as a substitute for plastic to a global audience at the exhibition area during the COP28. Jason Liao, Head of the OPPO Research Institute joined the COP28 Leadership Interview "Technology and innovation is critical in combating climate change," said Jason Liao, Head of OPPO Research Institute, "OPPO is determined to continuously invest in sustainability, actively exploring green technologies for the design and manufacturing of our products. Also, sustainability is a collective journey that requires collaboration from all stakeholders. We maintain an open-minded approach and invite more ecosystem partners to join us on the journey towards sustainability." Making electronic devices greener From the selection of raw materials to product usage and recycling, OPPO has seamlessly integrated the concept of sustainability into product lifecycle management, aiming to minimize the environment impact of our products. In 2023, OPPO pledged to achieve carbon neutrality across its global operations by 2050. Taking the self-developed OPPO Battery Health Engine as an example, this innovation helps smartphone batteries to maintain more than 80% of their original capacity after as many as 1,600 full charge cycles using OPPO's 80W SuperVOOC flash charge technology, significantly extending the average lifespan of smartphone batteries [1], and thus reducing electronic wastes. In recognition of this, OPPO was named one of the 10 Most Innovative Asia-Pacific Companies in 2023 by influential business media Fast Company. Apart from that, to encourage more users to join the low carbon journey, OPPO introduced the "GO Green" Always-On Display feature in the latest launched ColorOS 14 operating system with 600 million monthly active users worldwide. The animations and carbon footprint on the screen will change based on the number of steps users have taken each day, and they will see clearly and intuitively how walking instead of taking other forms of transport can lead to less carbon emissions. ColorOS 14 "GO Green" Always-On Display Inspiration Challenge empowering startups In addition to its green initiatives in product design, manufacturing and global operation, OPPO has also joined hands with ecosystem partners to support innovators devoted to green technologies. "OPPO Inspiration Challenge", an innovation accelerator initiated by OPPO Research Institute in 2022, calls for virtuous innovation technologies from global tech professionals and entrepreneurs annually. This year, it launched a new category, "Inspiration for the Planet", targeting green technologies to minimize the environmental impact of electronic product manufacturing or usage. Among these green technologies, Bluepha, a biotech startup, develops biodegradable natural organic polymer to replace plastic usage for packaging and more scenarios. Through working with OPPO, Bluepha explored different solutions for employing its unique bio-based Bluepha® PHA – a biodegradable natural organic polymer that can replace plastic – in smartphone packaging and accessories such as smartphone cases. Invited by OPPO, Bluepha exhibited its solution at COP28. Also, with joint-support from OPPO and its industry partners, Bluepha presented a panel discussion at COP28 hosted at Biosphere 3 Solutions Pavilion, sharing its innovation for climate action.
