WiMi Built the Next Generation of XR to Enter the Business Market As the Metaverse Continues to Grow

WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc.

The Metaverse, a digitized virtual reality realm, is gaining popularity. The buzzword “Metaverse” was coined by sci-fi author Neal Stephenson in his novel Snow Crash in 1992. Its popularity is due to Facebook's decision to rename "Meta." The Metaverse is Not Far Away What is the Metaverse? We may picture it as a new interconnected platform. Ordinary video game players can only see what they are playing through a 2D flat screen on a mobile phone or computer. In contrast, the Metaverse can create a 3D space where players can access an immersive gaming experience. This is the charm of the Metaverse: people can switch between virtual and reality seamlessly. So how can we enter the Metaverse space? Major tech companies are now actively developing their ultimate solution, which is XR. XR is the next-generation mobile computing platform that combines real and virtual worlds, including VR (Virtual Reality), AR (Augmented Reality), and MR (Mixed Reality). It is the key to the Metaverse, which can create immersive experiences. While XR has been applied in gaming and socializing for decades, it remained insipid until the technological advances and social changes brought about by the epidemic, which promoted the development of the Metaverse and inspired tens of billions of dollars of investment. It also made people believe that the Metaverse is the future and the next battlefield of the Internet. The XR market has been booming with great potential in recent years. The global VR industry size is expected to grow at an average annual rate of about 54% during the five years from 2020-2024, with VR growing at about 45% and AR growing at about 66%, both with a market share of RMB 240 billion in 2024, according to International Data Corporation (IDC). WiMi’s XR Opens Gate to the Metaverse It is sensible that the Metaverse will bring a new era for humanity in the coming years. WiMi Hologram Cloud (NASDAQ: WIMI) is devoting itself to developing Metaverse technology and has become an active player in this field. It is understood that the core team of WiMi has been engaged in the XR field for years. WiMi also established the Metaverse division to seize the golden opportunity and to design and produce industry benchmark XR products and experiences in software, content, system, SDK tools, and hardware for customers. After years of development, WiMi has become a leading XR builder in the industry and has established a relatively complete technology R&D system, content production and reserve system, and commercialization system. It has a robust XR technology research and development ecosystem. It has built an XR value industry chain with great potential for expansion. WiMi focuses on professional fields in Metaverse applications such as home entertainment, light field cinema, performing arts system, commercial publishing system, advertising display system, etc. In addition, WiMi has established a comprehensive XR content library compared to its peers. With 195 patents on technologies related to image processing and display, model input/output, 3D modeling, and 325 software copyrights, WiMi has produced over 4,600 high-quality, high-fidelity XR contents. In terms of the number of XR patents and software copyrights, WiMi is in the first tier of the industry. From the whole industry's perspective, XR technology commercialization has gone through the market education phase and gradually transitioned to the high-speed development period. Metaverse is a track with high market potential for WiMi. Based on the market trend and its experience, WiMi is firmly committed to a long-term development strategy and continues to improve brand awareness through the business market. WiMi is experienced in the market and can provide hardware and software solutions for the whole industry chain, empowering large enterprises and customers in the office, socializing, advertising, financing, and other fields, helping enterprises and customers reduce costs and increase efficiency. And next, WiMi will combine the advantages of 5G large bandwidth transmission, boost R&D and accumulate more service experience. Closing Remarks In 2022, the metaverse market is in full swing, with many tech companies scrambling to get in. Giants are entering the market, with Qualcomm launching a new generation of XR chips and Tencent setting up an XR division. More than 500 companies have reportedly joined the metaverse market. McKinsey believes the metaverse market will reach $5 trillion by 2030. This vast market share is unprecedented for all the major tech giants. About WIMI Hologram Cloud WiMi Hologram Cloud, Inc.

Bitcoin casinos are particularly popular, as they offer a high degree of anonymity and security. However, it is important to choose a reputable and trustworthy casino, such as Betbeard, that has a good selection of games and offers fast payouts. How to Deposit and Withdraw from a Bitcoin Casino When it comes to depositing and withdrawing from bitcoin casinos in the USA, there are a few things to bear in mind. Firstly, you will need to have a bitcoin wallet set up to store your coins. There are many different wallets available, but we recommend choosing one that is easy to use and offers good security features. Once you have a wallet set up, you can then purchase bitcoins from a reputable exchange. Once you have your coins, simply send them to your casino account and start playing! Withdrawing your winnings from a bitcoin casino is just as easy as making a deposit. Simply select the withdrawal option on the casino website and enter your bitcoin wallet address. The funds will then be sent to your wallet within a few minutes. If you are looking for a great way to win big in online casinos, then bitcoin casino gambling is worth considering. With its many benefits, including anonymity, security, and fast payouts, it is no wonder that more and more players are turning to bitcoin casinos. What is a USA Bitcoin casino Bitcoin casino is an online casino that accepts cryptocurrencies for deposits and withdrawals. Bitcoin casinos are very popular because the speed of withdrawals is high, players remain anonymous and can play bitcoin slots easily. There are various crypto casino games offered by the best bitcoin casinos such as slot games, live casino games, and sports betting. How to find a Good Bitcoin Casino Finding a trustworthy bitcoin casino is the most important task before starting to play slots. First, check if the bitcoin casino offers welcome bonuses, so you can get the maximum of your game time. Check out the customer support and ask them if they accept players from the USA, and whether they accept bitcoin. Most bitcoin gambling sites offer provably fair games and have low minimum deposit requirements. Look for a casino that offers fiat currencies as well, as you may decide to switch to traditional casino games. Is Bitcoin casino legit Although most crypto gambling sites are legit, you must be careful as some scam online bitcoin casinos are falsely advertising as trustworthy sites. Top bitcoin casinos offer thousands of slots, live dealer games, and sports betting markets, and allow deposits with various cryptocurrencies including bitcoin cash and Ethereum.

Traditional online casinos prefer to give out reload bonuses whereas online crypto casinos pay out no wagering free spins. Look for deposit bonuses as most crypto gambling sites offer lucrative gifts for their players. USA Online Casinos vs Bitcoin Casinos There are a few fundamental differences between online casinos and bitcoin casinos, the first being the payment methods, acceptance, and licensing of the casino. Crypto casinos are licensed mostly in Curacao, whereas local online casinos are licensed locally. Bitcoin online casinos, therefore, are following more relaxed laws and can offer a higher number of live dealer games, slots, and better sports betting odds for sports bettors. Provably fair online casino Betbeard focuses on video poker, and jackpot slots, and unlike many online casinos in the gambling industry, it allows fiat currency deposits. What are the Best Crypto Wallets for Gambling There are many different crypto wallets available, but we recommend choosing one that is easy to use and offers good security features.

Bitcoin Gambling Site with Progressive Jackpots Although the best bitcoin casino sites offer huge crypto bonuses, for poker games, and live dealer games, they focus predominantly on jackpot slots as players are interested in the big wins offered by them. You can find list of bitcoin sites where you can get other opinions about what are the best crypto casinos. The best bitcoin slots are Netent, Pragmatic Play, and Belatra which all offer a wide variety of games with different themes. Bitcoin Casino Bonuses What are your favorite casino games without good crypto bonuses?

Instead of reload bonuses, Betbeard offers no wagering free spins for every crypto deposit. Playing classic casino games in betbeard is fun with the massive welcome bonus available for slots. Crypto Sports Betting Sites If you're looking for a crypto sportsbook, then there are a few things to look out for. The first is that the site should be licensed and regulated by a reputable authority. This will ensure that the site is safe and secure to use. You don't want your winnings to be voided, or to be losing on low odds and high spreads. The second is to look for a site that offers a wide range of markets. This will ensure that you can bet on the sports and events that you're interested in. Bitcoin bookies vary in size so you have to be vigilant when choosing a betting site. To find good crypto betting sites, first, compare the odds, if the odds are low, then don't bother. Next look at the crypto gambling platform the site is based on, if it's easy to navigate and play then you may try it. Some of the best crypto casino sites offer fiat currencies as well so be sure to check that. Online Gambling Sites Customer Support Customer support is very important for any online casino, bitcoin or not. If you have a problem with a deposit or withdrawal, then you want to be able to contact the casino and have your issue resolved as quickly as possible. The best bitcoin casinos will have a live chat support team available 24/ hours a day. When choosing a bitcoin casino site, be sure to check the customer support options available. Live chat is the best option as you can get a quick response to your query. Email and telephone support are also available, but live chat is the quickest way to get a response. Crypto Gambling Site with Provably Fair Games Provably fair casinos use cryptographic algorithms to generate random numbers, which means that the results of each game can be verified by the player. This provides a level of fairness and transparency that is not possible with traditional online casinos. If you're looking for a USA bitcoin casino with provably fair games, then Betbeard is a good option. Provably fair gaming means that the casino can't cheat you out of your winnings. The games are fair and square, and you can check the results to see for yourself. RTP stands for return to player and is a percentage that shows how much of your money you can expect to win back from a game. For example, a game with an RTP of 96% will return $96 for every $100 you bet. The higher the RTP, the better the chances of winning. When choosing a provably fair game, look for one with a high RTP. This will give you the best chance of winning. Betbeard offers a range of provably fair games with high RTPs, so you're sure to find a game you'll enjoy. How to Play Online Casino in the USA So, you want to know how to play online casinos in the USA? There are a few things you need to know before you start playing. The first thing you need to do is choose a reputable and licensed casino site. This will ensure that your personal and financial information is safe and secure. You also want to make sure that the site offers a wide range of games and bonuses. Once you've found a casino site you're happy with, you need to create an account. This is usually a quick and easy process, and you'll be asked to provide some personal information. Once your account is created, you can deposit funds and start playing. When playing online casino games, it's important to remember to gamble responsibly. Never bet more than you can afford to lose, and always set limits on how much you're willing to spend. Remember that bitcoin casino games are fun and they might lead to addiction, therefore always plan your gambling sessions and don't play more than you can afford. If you follow these simple tips, you'll be sure to have a safe and enjoyable experience when playing online casino games in the USA. Bitcoin casinos are a relatively new phenomenon, but they are growing in popularity. If you want to try one, be sure to do your research and choose a reputable site. And remember, always gamble responsibly! Online Gambling Sites with Fiat Currency Traditional gambling sites that offer only fiat currencies are still popular as they offer similar games, bonuses, free spins, and promotions as bitcoin casinos. You don't need crypto to win progressive jackpots or to take advantage of the first deposit bonus some casinos offer. So how do online casinos differ from bitcoin casinos? The main difference is the payment methods, which allow greater flexibility and anonymity in crypto casinos. Some of the best crypto casino sites offer an anonymous gambling experience, with no need for verification and submitting documents. Although US bitcoin gambling sites are growing in popularity, some people find cryptocurrencies hard to adopt, and hence prefer to play at traditional online casino sites, with fiat currency deposits. What is an MGA casino MGA stands for Malta Gaming Authority. The MGA is a regulatory body that licenses and regulates online casinos. MGA casinos are some of the safest and most reputable casinos in the industry. This is because they are subject to strict regulation, which ensures that they operate fair games and protect their players' money. MGA forbids bitcoin gambling sites, hence all online casinos registered in Malta are offering only fiat currencies. There is no way for a bitcoin casino site to obtain a Maltese license. If you want to play crypto casino games, you will have to find a Curacao online gambling site with bitcoin slots. What is a Curacao Casino A Curacao casino is an online casino that is licensed by the Curacao Gaming Authority. The CGA is a regulatory body that licenses and regulates online casinos. Curacao casinos are considered to be safe and reputable and offer a fair gambling experience. Curacao is the only reliable jurisdiction allowing casinos to accept crypto as a payment method. All the best crypto casino sites hold a Curacao license, and as expected all 3 sites in the above comparison are licensed by the Curacao gambling authorities. Best Crypto Slots As crypto becomes more popular, more crypto casinos are emerging. These casinos offer a wide range of casino slot games, including Gonzo's Quest, Africa Gold 2, Mega Moolah, and Starburst. If you're looking for the best crypto slots, then have a look at Belatra, Netent, Microgaming, Platipus, Spinomenal, Mascot, and No Limit. These are just a few of the best crypto slots providers, and they all offer a great selection of slots games. When choosing a crypto casino, it's important to make sure that it offers a good selection of games from different providers. This will ensure that you have plenty of choices when it comes to the type of slots you want to play. It's also worth checking out the bonuses and promotions offered by the casino, as this can give you a good way to boost your bankroll. Betbeard crypto gambling site offers various slots available for BTC, BCH, ETH, LTC, and USDt. When playing crypto slots, it's important to remember that the odds of winning are usually quite low. However, the potential payout is usually worth the risk, making crypto slots an exciting option for bitcoin casino players. Betbeard is a great bitcoin casino, striving to satisfy its players by offering thousands of slot games, and massive bonuses.

Have We Seen The Beginning Of The End Of Data Privacy In The European Union?

Benzinga

With the goal of protecting the European Union (EU) from child pornographers and other unsavory and illegal activity, the Digital Services Act, a regulatory act aimed at making the internet a safer place, is on its way to cracking down on Big Tech. Big Tech Could Be Facing Big Fines If Companies Don’t Comply Beginning in 2024, the new EU law will fine companies like Alphabet Inc. ’s (NASDAQ: GOOGL) Google, Meta Platform Inc. ’s (NASDAQ: META), Facebook and WhatsApp, Twitter Inc. (NYSE: TWTR) and Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) up to 6% of their global revenue if they are caught violating the strict new rules. Companies like Meta could be looking at fines as high as $7 billion if it decides to ignore the new rules. Companies with repeat violations could eventually be banned from doing business in the EU. The law is a means of cracking down on advertising aimed at children as well as ads that target private information such as religion, gender and political opinions. The rules also give EU governmental entities the right to take down what they deem as illegal content, including any viewed as promoting terrorism, child sex abuse, hate speech or commercial scams. Additionally, online retailers such as Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) must adhere to the law by implementing similar protections for what governments view as suspect products, such as counterfeit items or unsafe children’s toys. The EU laws follow the U.S. Justice Department and Federal Trade Commission's move to file antitrust actions against Google and Facebook. In a statement released by Google, the company says, “As the (EU) law is finalized and implemented, the details will matter. We look forward to working with policymakers to get the remaining technical details right to ensure the law works for everyone.” Swiss - Hosted Privacy Company Rolls Out EU Regulation-Immune Chat Tool Alain Ghiai, CEO at Swiss-hosted privacy and cybersecurity company Sekur Private Data Ltd. (OTCQX: SWISF), is among those skeptical of the new laws on Big Tech's effect and intent. He sees the law as a government data grab. “This is not unlike China, where everything you do and post online is public property of the EU government, which will be scanning everything. When people use free (chat) applications like WhatsApp, Gmail and Signal and others, they basically force those providers to give them that information,” he said. “The question is whether what they’re doing is pure intent, or is there something else behind it? A lot of people think the new EU regulations are a new way to exercise full control over people’s privacy, and they’re very angry about it.” Taking advantage of the concern with EU government entities snooping on chat and email, Ghiai has been making the media rounds discussing his company’s newest encrypted feature on SekurMessenger, "Chat-by-Invite". The chat tool is Sekur ’s latest instant-messaging tool, letting Sekur users invite non-Sekur users by sending a SMS notification invite, and is now available in 25 countries, covering a population of 1.18 billion people, including SMS invite notifications coverage in the U.S., Canada, Switzerland, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and most of Latin America and Europe. It says it gives subscribers complete privacy to chat with non-Sekur users, without the non-Sekur users having to register to, or download, Sekur. Chat-by-Invite reports that it protects Sekur subscribers’ instant messages which, when sent to a recipient, open into a private, secure platform hosted in Switzerland, through its proprietary HeliX connection. The chat is essentially occurring on Swiss servers owned and controlled by Sekur. Sekur says that once the instant messaging is completed, the messages disappear and hackers will be unaware of the conversation because of Sekur’s highly private and secure encrypted military technology, which is operating behind it. Though the country pays annual fees to do business with the EU, Switzerland is still independent of the union and is believed to have some of the best and strictest data privacy laws in the world. “Thank God, we’re in Switzerland, and we don’t have such a law (like the EU),” Ghiai said. “It’s not just that the government can go in and read your stuff. The danger is what happens when they get hacked?” With Sekur, there is no direct messaging on open-source platforms, making them invulnerable to cybersecurity breaches. The company reports it has developed or is rolling out products including SekurMail, SekurMessenger, SekurVPN, SekurVoice and SekurPro video conferencing, among others. The SekurMessenger with Chat-by-Invite app is now available on any web browsers, on iOS and Android. For more information on Sekur Private Data, go to https://sekurprivatedata.com.

This Electric Toothbrush Has 6 Cleaning Modes For Reportedly Brighter Smiles

Benzinga

Toothbrushes have come a long way since Babylonians and Egyptians started brushing their teeth with frayed twigs around 3000 BCE. The first more modern toothbrush with a handle carved from cattle bone and a brush made from swine bristles was produced in England around 1780. Natural bristles were used until DuPont de Nemours Inc. (NYSE: DD) invented nylon, which started the development of the truly modern toothbrush in 1938 and the first electric toothbrush in 1939. Although electric toothbrushes date back more than 80 years, they have seemingly not achieved widespread adoption. The global electric toothbrush market size was estimated to be worth $4.3 billion in 2022 and projected to increase to just over $6 billion by 2027, according to Statista. Electric toothbrushes clean teeth, gums and tongue by using rotation or side-by-side movement of the head. Electric toothbrushes are an effective way to remove plaque and reduce gingivitis, and studies show they are more thorough at cleaning teeth than traditional manual toothbrushes. But the moderate adoption rate of the devices arguably demonstrates that consumers need to be educated and provided compelling value propositions to buy them. Cost is a major constraint to the market, and people don’t see them as an attractive addition to their bathroom countertops. Better Brushing? Enter Brüush (NASDAQ: BRSH). While most electric toothbrushes provide 500 strokes per minute, Brüush says its model provides up to 31,000 strokes per minute, attacking plaque 100 times more vigorously than a manual toothbrush. Brüush has six cleaning modes for every type of brusher. The Brüush lithium-ion battery is built to last four weeks on a single charge, and the compact magnetic case makes traveling with the device convenient. The Brüush toothbrush, which comes in five colors with three brush heads and a USB power adapter and charger, retails for $79.

This Company Reports Moving Toward FDA Approval To Provide Pain-Free Diabetes Monitoring

Benzinga

Caused predominantly by genetic predisposition, immune disorders and other factors, such as unhealthy diet and exercise habits, diabetes is one of the most common lifelong chronic diseases in the world. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), there are nearly 450 million cases of diabetes worldwide, and the number in the U.S. could reach 40 million by 2030 and more than 60 million by 2060. Many believe the numbers could be more significant because large numbers of the population might be undiagnosed and at high risk. In recent years, with the rise of global diabetes expected to reach nearly 700 million by 2035, a growing number of patients are suffering from pain and infections caused by the invasive and frequent nature of using mainstream commercial glucose meters. The most common cutaneous complications are wear-related erythema, itching, and induration, but more severe cases, typically related to bacteria infection, continue to grow as well ( source 1 and 2 ). This has led to the need for noninvasive blood glucose monitoring technology, which could relieve numerous issues that many diabetes patients face. Noninvasive blood glucose monitoring refers to the detection of human blood glucose without causing damage to human tissues. Many noninvasive blood glucose detection methods can be divided into the optical, microwave and electrochemical processes. Medical imaging technologies are gaining global relevance in the medical community to assist clinicians in the diagnosis and guiding therapeutic treatment of patients. The big plus is that it's noninvasive and offers high-resolution results. The most common medical imaging technologies are computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasonography. Noninvasive imaging techniques are used in almost every medical field as a diagnostic tool and to monitor pathological progression or the efficacy of treatments. Several imaging tools are available to provide structural and functional information about tissue and organ physiology. New hybrid devices and multimodal imaging offer opportunities for research and use in clinics. Companies like General Electric Co. (NYSE: GE) Healthcare, Lantheus Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: LNTH), Varex Imaging Corp. (NASDAQ: VREX) and OSI Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: OSIS) have invested heavily in medical imaging products, but most are better known for other medical offerings or other industries altogether. Know Labs Inc. (OTCQB: KNWN), an emerging developer in noninvasive medical diagnostics, focuses on developing its proprietary spectroscopic technologies using the electromagnetic spectrum. The goal is to accurately identify and measure a wide range of organic and inorganic materials, molecules and compositions of matter. Know Labs’ technology uses spectroscopy to direct electromagnetic energy through a substance or material to capture a unique molecular signature. It refers to its technology as Bio-RFID™, which can be integrated into various wearable, mobile or bench-top devices. The company’s patented and patent-pending technology makes it possible to effectively identify and monitor analyses that could only previously be performed by invasive, expensive and time-consuming lab-based tests. The first application of its Bio-RFID technology will reportedly be in a product marketed as a noninvasive glucose monitor, giving the user real-time information on blood glucose levels. Know Labs’ leadership says it's confident it will be the first company to bring an FDA-cleared noninvasive glucose monitoring device to market. Know Labs is conducting a 200-person internal clinical trial of Bio-RFID, which will help the company refine its algorithm and demonstrate Bio-RFID’s accuracy in a large population.. Previous internal tests demonstrated Bio-RFID has an accuracy on par or better than currently available solutions, which is an important step towards FDA submission.

Tim Hortons

Tim Hortons ® U.S. is excited to announce changes to the Tims Rewards loyalty program that give guests the ability to earn more points faster and make every dollar of their purchase count. Starting Wednesday, Tims Rewards members will earn 10 points for every $1 spent on eligible transactions. The previous Tims Rewards program was visit-based and guests earned the same number of points per eligible transaction – whether they made a 50 cent purchase or bought beverages and donuts for the whole family. In the new program, points are earned on every $0.10--for example, a Tims Rewards member who spends $6.36 will earn 64 Tims Rewards points, where previously they would have earned 10 points. “Tims Rewards members tell us they love earning and redeeming points for our most popular Tims products. At the same time, our guests have also shared that they want to earn more points, especially when they spend more," said Allison Matheson, Senior Director of Digital and Loyalty, Tim Hortons US. "We’re excited that the new Tims Rewards allows members to earn points based on their spend, giving them flexibility to earn more rewards faster." One of the most common orders among Tim Hortons U.S. guests is a coffee and a bacon-and-egg hot breakfast sandwich. Under the new Tims Rewards program, guests who purchase that order on every visit will be able to redeem for a free coffee sooner* compared to the terms of the previous program. On Wednesday, each Tim Rewards point in a guest’s account will be converted to six points as part of the new Tims Rewards loyalty program.
