Malaysia’s Online Gaming Conference and Festival – LEVEL UP SPACEBAR and PLAY-ONE

It’s the first games expo to be organised virtually for Southeast Asia

This is a 2-in-1 virtual event provides a taste of what is to come for the games industry in Malaysia and the region

Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and the growing popularity of Southeast Asia’s largest gaming festival, LEVEL UP KL, the Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC) is organising a satellite event to bring the gamer community together. Set for June 2020, the goal is to continue exploring and developing Malaysia’s games industry.

Designed to attract both businesses and the public alike, this new online event consists of LEVEL UP SPACEBAR and LEVEL UP PLAY-ONE. The former, which will run on June 16, 2020, will be targeting businesses and game publishers. As for the latter, it is a gaming festival that is open to the public that will be running on June 13 and 14, 2020.

With both events being hosted online, anyone can take part from the comfort and safety of their homes. MDEC will be collaborating with Astro’s eGG Network to extend selected broadcast streams around Malaysia and its neighbouring countries. The content streams will be mostly from the LEVEL UP PLAY-ONE webinars. More than 16 speakers from across the region – be it renowned streamers to esports operators – will be sharing their knowledge about esports opportunities and challenges during the pandemic.

As for the games that will be streamed during the 12-hour official broadcast on Facebook Gaming, it will feature a diverse range of local and global major videogame titles. All of them will offer something for everyone, from casual gamers to sports enthusiasts, and core fans of competitive titles.

“The world has been in isolation for weeks now due to the pandemic. Even so, there are multiple gaming events taking place now on the global and regional fronts. As MDEC, we will take the lead in creating an event that all gamers can get into. After all, we want to show the public our continuous support by hosting LEVEL UP PLAY-ONE. The main aim is to help our fellow countrymen, and gamers around Southeast Asia, feel less isolated by continuing to push the local, and regional, gaming industry. Join us as we showcase and play games of all varieties, from AAA types to popular titles that our fellow ASEAN game developers worked on, and big hits that our fellow Malaysians made. Let’s play a part this June – together!” said Hasnul Hadi Samsudin, Vice President, Digital Creative Content, MDEC.

Global Launch of KidsLoop Platform Ushers in a New Era for Early Learning Industry

Calm Island, a leading global EdTech company, held an online streaming event to mark the global launch of its adaptive early learning platform, KidsLoop. KidsLoop will accelerate and enhance the digital paradigm shift in early childhood education (ECE) through its interactive and engaging learning environment.

Calm Island jointly announced a strategic partnership with global education leader, Pearson Education. The partnership will see Pearson’s world-class educational content integrated into
KidsLoop
, providing a new and interactive way for children to engage with its curriculum.

Joe Lam, Managing Director of Pearson Greater China and India, noted that the strategic partnership between the two parties comes at an important time for Pearson after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Other notable Chinese education brands including Owen Group, cRAdleGrow, and MoreCare, have also announced their support to utilize the KidsLoop platform. During the month of May, Calm Island expects to announce the joining of additional global education brands to KidsLoop.

“It is an honor to work with such high-caliber companies and offer the best early education curriculum”, noted Calm Island CEO, David Roberts. “KidsLoop is a fun new experience for children, teachers, and parents alike. We are confident that we will bring great joy and improve the quality of teaching for children all around the world.”

KidsLoop’s multi-faceted SaaS offering combines a rich content and learning management system (CLMS), complete with an interactive content library and lesson planning tools, in addition to KidsLoop Live, which facilitates interactive and secure live-streamed lessons.

Another important aspect of KidsLoop is the collection and analysis of learning data. Data privacy is ensured through end-to-end encryption on a blockchain backend. Furthermore, the Intellectual Property of content providers is protected through digital watermarking and DRM technology. Protecting the user’s privacy and the owner’s IP are now essential features for any new education platform.

“COVID-19 has accelerated many digital trends and we can clearly see that early education is also changing. As schools adapt to this new paradigm, they need an online solution for when in-class learning is disrupted. KidsLoop will help early education providers with their Offline-to-Online (O2O) transition”, CEO David Roberts, explained.

HUAWEI WATCH GT 2e Helps Monitor Your SpO2 Level with Just a Tap

Living in a fast-paced world may affect our mental and physical health in ways we do not always realise. To ensure our body is at its optimum condition, blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) is an important health indicator. Traditionally, we may have required separate health equipment to check this, but as technology has advanced, there is now a smarter way to check if we have a normal SpO2 level. The
HUAWEI WATCH GT 2e
 can do exactly that and more. Its latest over-the-air update now enables consumers to enjoy this feature. Priced at RM 599 and available on
HUAWEI online official store
, here are common questions answered relating to SpO2 and find out how this watch can help track your health.

What does SpO2 mean?

Aside from blood pressure and heart rate, oxygen saturation is one of the first measurements taken in an examination. SpO2 is also known as oxygen saturation, it represents an estimate of the oxygen levels in a person’s bloodstream. The heart normally pumps approximately 5000 ml of blood per minute to the tissues in an average sized adult, delivering about 1000 ml of oxygen to the tissues per minute. The body cannot function properly if the level of oxygen in the blood is too low, this condition is called hypoxemia and can cause serious health problems.

What is a normal SpO2 level?

Under normal conditions, a healthy person should have an SpO2 level between 90 and 100. There is an extremely low chance for a person’s SpO2 level to go above the normal level without any external assistance such as supplemental oxygen. However, if the SpO2 level is below normal, that person has a risk of developing hypoxemia. This condition requires immediate treatment from the doctor.

What are the symptoms of hypoxemia?

There are two types of hypoxemia. Acute hypoxemia occurs over a relatively short period of time while the chronic hypoxemia is ongoing over a longer period. The symptoms of acute hypoxemia could be different from chronic hypoxemia, but the common symptoms are shortness of breath, rapid breathing, wheezing, cough, confusion, fast heart rate and changes in skin colour.

Chronic hypoxemia can be difficult to detect as the body is able to compensate for the decreased oxygen in the bloodstream. The symptoms include pulmonary hypertension, cor pulmonale, right sided heart failure and polycythemia.

Who needs to check SpO2 level regularly?

Some people or situations may have a higher risk in encountering hypoxemia:

People who have a busy schedule
: Not everyone can enjoy the luxury of work-life balance, there are lots of people who work tirelessly every day across different industry. Without proper rest, working under a stressful environment may cause the brain to consume oxygen that exceeds the intake amount.

People who are at high-altitude or plateau hypoxic environment
: High altitudes can cause low oxygen saturation levels or desaturation of an individual’s blood. It happens because of low atmospheric pressure at high altitudes. So, if you are hiking in places such as Machu Picchu in Peru or Lhasa in Tibet, each breath provides you with lower levels of oxygen.

Elderly
: Ageing heart and lungs will lead to insufficient oxygen intake and inadequate oxygen supply. The human body relies on blood to transport oxygen, and if the volume of blood decreased, oxygen will also decrease.

People who snore
: Snoring may cause short-term or long-term respiratory obstruction, which may lead to hypoxia, resulting in poor sleep quality and even organ damage.

How to measure the SpO2 level?

The most efficient and accurate method to measure SpO2 level is by arterial blood gas (ABG) test. It measures oxygen and carbon dioxide level from the blood sample. However, it is difficult to run the test at home and it can be a little painful.

The second method, which is the most common method is using a pulse oximeter. This meter has a small clip to put on a finger to measure blood oxygen indirectly by light absorption through a person’s pulse.

Aside from the two traditional methods, HUAWEI recently launched the HUAWEI WATCH GT 2e that comes with SpO2 monitoring. The company has always focused on health and fitness features on their smartwatches, for their latest smartwatch, they have included the feature to monitor user’s SpO2 level with a dedicated SpO2 IR sensor. To run the test, all you need to do is choose this feature from the menu and the test will automatically begin.

The biggest advantage of the HUAWEI WATCH GT 2e over the traditional methods is that users can run the test anytime and anywhere without bringing an extra medical equipment with them. For example, if you are going to a hike or working in the office, it would be troublesome to bring a pulse oximeter. Also, the HUAWEI WATCH GT 2e is 50m water resistant and has a two-week battery life, so it can accompany you for a long camping trip or a swim in the pool, helping you to perform health management actively and comprehensively.

Besides, SpO2 is not the only thing you should be checking regularly. To ensure your body is functioning well, heart rate and stress level play an important part to keep our body and mind to be healthy. HUAWEI WATCH GT 2e features the all-new self-developed TruSeen™ 3.5 heart rate monitoring technology that can accurately monitor the heart rates and the. HUAWEI TruRalex technology provides 24/7 pressure monitoring for users, keeping an eye on users’ mental health status.

HUAWEI XD Fusion Engine: The Magic That Created Masterpieces

In the world of mobile imaging, there’s a long-held notion that the sensor, lens (or a combination of several) and software share equal importance. If we were to convert that to a numerical expression, it would look something like 1:1:1.

However, as technology matures, we’ve begun seeing homogenisation among the industry’s top players. Almost every recent flagship smartphone hitting the market today has a multi-camera setup, with manufacturers shifting focus to other differentiators, trying to find their own niche.

Many have ended up looking towards software, so much so that it’s shifting the balance of industry norm. While for the longest time it has been 1:1:1 – it’s now begun to look a lot more like 1:1:2, with software being represented by the “2.” From here we can see that companies have been placing emphasis on software.

Apple has its “computational photography mad science” Deep Fusion technology, Samsung most recently introduced Single Take with the Galaxy S10 series, and HUAWEI, during the launch of the HUAWEI P40 Series, introduced to the world the
XD Fusion Engine
 – which is perhaps the most impressive of them all. And today, we take a look at what this “engine” really is.

Creator of masterpieces

The HUAWEI XD Fusion plays a key role among many superior computational photography capabilities that the HUAWEI P Series has on offer. Before we dive into the technicalities, here’s the simplest explanation to what it does: it lets you take better photos. Period.

It’s really that simple. It doesn’t matter whether you’re shooting in bright daylight or at night, a person or a thing you have on your desk, the XD Fusion Engine optimises for detail and image quality to give you the best final image. It’s almost magical.

But then of course it’s not magic. It’s HUAWEI’s engineering ingenuity, integrated into a complete solution that brings a noticeable improvement to any and all photos.

The XD Fusion Engine conducts high-level semantic analysis on multiple RAW frames captured on multiple cameras. The high-fidelity images are deconstructed into Scenarios, Biological Information, Body Mask, Skin Mask, Face Parsing and Face Landmark layers. These components are then fed to the NPU for processing.

Leveraging the Da Vinci-based NPU inside Kirin 990, XD Fusion Engine enhances the images mimicking how the human brain processes visual information. The pixel-level imaging processes detail, colour, dynamic range, Bokeh and other factors to generate a high quality portrait image for the end users.

Aside from the extraordinary XD Fusion Engine working in the background to optimise your photos, the HUAWEI P40 Series also includes some new tools for you to quickly edit your images after the fact.

The All-New HUAWEI Band 4e is Coming Soon
The powerful AI capabilities of the Kirin 990 Series SoC endow the HUAWEI P40 Series with the ability to support real-time AI recognition and processing. These allow the HUAWEI P40 Series to offer three new functions: AI Best Moment, AI Remove Passersby and AI Remove Reflection – collectively referred to as HUAWEI Golden Snap.

HUAWEI Golden Snap augments Moving Pictures – meaning that Moving Pictures have to be enabled for these to work. For AI Best Moment, HUAWEI P40 Series detects and compares more than 30 posture detection and over 90 facial expressions on subjects in the frame to select the best image, and presents it to the user as a recommendation as they edit their images in the Photo Gallery. AI Remove Passersby identifies passers-by on the images for easy removal. Finally, AI Remove Reflection scans for reflections and glare and removes them from the final photo.

HUAWEI has a long track record of integrating and advancing computational photography, and its effort really shows in the HUAWEI P40 Series. From the HUAWEI P10 Series introducing scene recognition, HUAWEI P20 Series wowing the world with Master AI and Night Mode to the HUAWEI P30 Series adding AI Colour to its repertoire, the HUAWEI P40 Series pushes the envelope once again in a truly pioneering fashion.

If you’re looking for a device that delivers a cutting-edge mobile photography experience, look no further than the HUAWEI P40 Series.

Discover the HUAWEI P40 Series with HUAWEI AppGallery

Unlock the full potential of your P40 Series smartphone with HUAWEI’s AppGallery which now contains the most of Malaysians’ frequently used apps such as Facebook, WhatsApp, WeChat, Netflix, Instagram, AirAsia, TikTok, Lazada, and more.

LG VELVET, the company’s most visually stunning handset to date, ushers in a new era of elegant, user-centric design, seamlessly integrating LG’s most innovative multi-media features for truly memorable 5G user experience. With VELVET, LG is introducing its new, nature-inspired design language, boasting smooth, polished surfaces and distinctive elements that set it apart from its peers.

In a departure from the usual square camera bump, with multiple lenses tightly packed together, LG VELVET sports a vertically aligned “Raindrop” camera. The harmonious arrangement is composed of three lenses and a flash, positioned in descending order of size to evoke the image of falling raindrops. New 3D Arc Design delivers beautifully symmetrical front and rear edges and gently curved corners, creating a sleek, flowing form factor that fits perfectly in the hand and is pleasing to the touch. Four expressive colors* – Illusion Sunset, Aurora White, Aurora Gray and Aurora Green – in a premium, glossy finish gives LG VELVET a unique personality and individual sense of style.

Whether it’s watching movies, streaming TV, and gaming or listening to tunes, users will enjoy the enhanced detail and realism of LG VELVET’s 6.8-inch, 20.5:9 aspect ratio P-OLED Cinematic FullVision display. And continuing LG’s legacy of superior smartphone audio, LG VELVET offers powerful stereo speakers for an immersive sound experience.  What’s more, LG 3D Sound Engine utilizes artificial intelligence to automatically analyze and optimize all audio content.

LG VELVET features all the multimedia tools users have come to expect and love about LG phones. The device features a 16MP camera up front and a 48MP main, 8MP wide and 5MP depth sensor on the back for capturing every moment in astounding quality. It inherits the popular Voice Bokeh feature from the V60, for clear outdoor recordings even in the presence of loud ambient noise. Vividly capture even the tiniest sound with ASMR Recording and two built-in high-sensitivity microphones. 4K Time-lapse also has been improved with the new Timelapse Control that can automatically adjust recording speed consistent with the subject’s movements and also allows users the freedom to adjust the recording speed themselves.

To ensure users get the most out of 5G service, LG VELVET features Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon™ 765 mobile platform. Produced using the latest 7 nanometer process, the 765 includes Qualcomm’s second-generation Snapdragon X52 modem to provide all the key features customers want without the extra bulk. The new processor delivers the added benefit of boosted performance when using LG Dual Screen for twice the fun, twice the productivity. LG VELVET and Dual Screen also support compatible active pen input for comfortable note taking and sketching when a finger just isn’t precise enough.

Make A Difference to Low-Income Families With Fave ‘Kasih Ramadan’ Initiative

This Ramadan will be like no other in Malaysia. Large gatherings are prohibited and cut off from their communities, and the less fortunate and low-income families are at risk of hunger. In the spirit of #KitaJagaKita, Fave has launched an initiative under the social campaign
‘Kasih Ramadan’
 to encourage Malaysians to purchase Ramadan meals for those who are hit the hardest in Malaysia.

Fave has prepared a food matching programme like no other to support 1,000 refugees, needy families and daily wage earners who struggle to access food during the month of Ramadan due to the Covid-19 pandemic. More than 600 meals have been donated to the low-income families over the past few days which are adequate for one evening dinner of 150 families with four people.

With the help of Malaysians’ generosity, users can purchase set meals for a family of five or ten from three designated restaurants on the Kasih Ramadan website. The food will be distributed to three organisations: the Al-Hasan Volunteer Network, Pertiwi Soup Kitchen and NGOHub. Fave users are able to contribute to feed families in need by buying RM60 or RM110 deals and may share anonymous messages of encouragement or gratitude with each other.

Fave’s food matching programme provides favourite Malaysian hearty meals such as Nasi Lemak & Ayam Goreng, Nasi Kukus and Nasi Minyak freeing families from worry about where their next meal will come from during the month of fasting.

“On this occasion, with the ‘Kasih Ramadan’ campaign, we hope to continue the gift of giving and promote the spirit of solidarity and compassion by supporting the needy in Malaysia and those affected in crisis-stricken areas,” said Jake Abdullah, Managing Director for Fave Malaysia. “We understand the spirit of the holy month is lost if families are not together and if there is no access to food or earning a living during the lockdown. Hence, we are adapting our F&B and charity programmes to keeping people safe and fed while working tirelessly to identify vulnerable groups of people.”

Maxis Hari Raya Campaign Launches With A Twist To Reveal The Perfect Celebration

Even in the face of adversity, there is nothing that can break the festive spirit of Malaysians. This Raya, Maxis reminds us of this spirit of celebrating the perfect Hari Raya with the launch of its
full campaign film

8D Audio film

 featuring the voice of young Haziq, with scenes of real-life Malaysian festive stories from the past and present.

“As we practice social distancing and safeguard our health collectively in these unprecedented times, we believe Malaysians will continue to find ways to stay close and connected with the use of technology, ingenuity and optimism. With this special Raya campaign, we hope to inspire Malaysians and their loved ones to remain positive and strong during this truly special time of the year,” said Gokhan Ogut, Maxis’ Chief Executive Officer.

“For our Raya campaign this year, we wanted to first stir the listeners’ imagination to picture the perfect Raya in their own ways, as everyone has a unique take on what makes the occasion meaningful to them – which is why we launched the 8D Audio film as a prelude. The full film, with images of past celebrations and present circumstances, serve to celebrate and salute the Malaysian spirit where we have always celebrated Hari Raya with enthusiasm, love and appreciation undiminished regardless of the situation,” said Tai Kam Leong, Maxis Head of Brand & Marketing.

The images in the film, now accompanying the 8D Audio narrative, show that Malaysians have experienced imperfect Hari Raya circumstances before – from natural disasters and distanced loved ones, to underprivileged and unexpected locations – yet have had joyous, perfect celebrations.

Maxis is also aggregating positive, real-life Malaysian stories during this Raya period, in collaboration with our media partners, to be featured on the
Raya campaign’s microsite
 as a source of daily inspiration. The amplification of these stories are a reminder of the tenacity and spirit that is within all of us even in challenging times, and that we can celebrate Raya with a full heart because #RayaTetapRaya.

Keeping Malaysians safe and sane with webAR

An initiative to help Malaysians remain vigilant in this new phase

Malaysia is moving on to a new phase in its fight against COVID-19.

With interactive contents refreshed daily, My Safe City is brought to life through webAR, where AR experiences are accessed through a web browser via
mysafecity.com.my
 without the need to download any app.

From learning about how long coronavirus lasts on common surfaces to debunking myths on the disease, MY Safe City hosts a variety of informative, educational and entertaining content for all ages.

Parents will find MY Safe City a useful and engaging tool for children. While schools remain close, the premise of this augmented world will be one that is immersive and educational for the young and the young-at-heart alike.

Some of the contents within the city are sponsored by brands including TIME internet, Grab Food and Zalora. My SafeCity is also proud to be supporting KitaJagaKita, the “one-stop platform” for Malaysian civil society COVID-19 efforts.
