Tesla Robotaxi Launch: My Predictions on Mario Nawfals X Space with Dr.Danish, David Pollack Charbax 2024-10-11 | I participated in Mario Nawfal X Space https://x.com/i/spaces/1PlJQbkYDrYxE that was listened to by 2.7 million people! This was live commentary/analysis before and after the launch of the Self-driving Tesla Cybercab, Robovan, Optimus, Robotaxi and Robots, here's an edit of my appearance on the show, which features some of my predictions before the event started, and some of which can turn out to be true:- A large share of the existing fleet of 5 Million Teslas will be added to the Robotaxi network instantly, Tesla owners I believe could get paid about $10K per year to contribute their car to the network, and at the same time everyone in the household can get unlimited free Robotaxi service. This may amount to Tesla repurchasing a part of the current Tesla fleet to instantly deploy massive Robotaxi coverage in 40 countries globally.- Robotaxi announced as costing half as much as public transport- Remote Human Override mode to resolve any issues with the Self-driving on the road when a Robotaxi might somehow get a bit stuck. Would be triggered automatically as well as by voice triggers or a Help button they might include on the dashboard of the Robotaxi.- You can sleep in Robotaxi and wake up at destination even 1000km/500miles away just let it drive you overnight! This is very disruptive against Short Haul Airlines businesses, the Robotaxi can get you comfortably far during one good night's sleep! And no more need to go through airports, check-in, security, queues, boarding, crowds, traffic, etc etc..I was wrong:- I was confident this could be Tesla's introduction of Battery Swap standards for the Robotaxis, to introduce 1min quick 1% to 100% full battery swapping stations, with possibility for different battery capacities for example swapping in a long range battery just before picking up a customer for a long overnight trip. But Elon Musk only announced inductive charging. Which may currently be limited to 100kw charging speed (as opposed to up to 350kw with a charging cable), this would take approximately 27 minutes to charge a 75 kWh EV battery from 20% to 80% at 100 kW. I speculate if future faster inductive charging may be implemented, or as I actually hope, perhaps they may still include Battery Swap together with Inductive charging, to have both methods available! If the Robotaxi asks you to switch cars twice or to spend over an hour charging inductively during an overnight sleeping trip, I think would slightly defeat that purpose.
Open Systems: Leading Zero Trust Edge Service Provider at Swiss IT Forum (acquired by Swiss Post) Charbax 2024-10-04 | Jacqueline de Groen-Lelieveld, responsible for new business development in the EMEA region for Open Systems, introduces the company as a Swiss-based provider of IT and OT access solutions. Open Systems, headquartered in Zurich, recently made headlines with its acquisition by Swiss Post Communication Services. This move allows the company to continue and expand the services it has been offering for over 30 years. Open Systems focuses on ensuring that users can access their data and applications regardless of their location, whether they are in an office, working remotely, or on the move.In discussing how remote access works, Jacqueline emphasizes that while VPNs are still used, Open Systems offers a more advanced solution through their SD-WAN as a service. This approach ensures reliable application performance across various locations by providing customers with their own SD-WAN backbone. Integrated with this is their proprietary Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) platform, which incorporates security and remote access solutions, including a cloud-based solution for zero-trust network access.What sets Open Systems apart from other vendors is that they have developed their own proprietary SASE platform, rather than relying on technology partners. Their native SASE platform is fully managed in-house, providing customers with a unique, integrated solution. This management model is supported by Open Systems' team of engineers, who not only design and implement the technology but also work directly with customers through the company’s mission control support organization. This direct access to Level 3 engineers ensures that clients receive highly skilled support, a feature that is greatly appreciated by their customers.The recent acquisition by Swiss Post Communication Services marks a significant synergy between the two entities. Swiss Post, founded over 175 years ago, has a long-standing mission to securely deliver information. As the world transitions from physical to digital communication, Open Systems complements this mission by ensuring the secure delivery of information in a digital format. This partnership reflects Swiss Post's evolution in adapting to modern communication needs while maintaining its commitment to secure information delivery.Open Systems is not limited to operating solely within Switzerland; it boasts a global reach, providing services to customers in 186 countries. The company’s expertise in secure information delivery transcends geographical boundaries, making it a significant player in the international market. Their global footprint underscores the demand for secure, reliable digital communication across industries and regions.In terms of staffing, Open Systems employs approximately 250 people, with a significant portion being engineers. This technical team is integral to the company’s ability to develop, implement, and maintain their solutions, but the company also has robust marketing and sales teams to support its business operations. This blend of technical expertise and commercial acumen allows Open Systems to remain competitive and responsive to customer needs.Regarding the name "Open Systems," Jacqueline clarifies that while the company’s solutions are not fully open-source, they are partially based on open-source technologies. However, the services themselves are not openly available to everyone; they are tailored for the company’s customers. Open Systems takes pride in working closely with clients to design networks that meet their specific requirements, ensuring a personalized approach to network and security management.Overall, Open Systems stands out for its proprietary technology, comprehensive support structure, and global presence. Its acquisition by Swiss Post Communication Services represents a strategic move that aligns both companies’ missions to deliver secure information. This partnership, coupled with the expertise and dedication of the Open Systems team, positions the company as a leader in secure digital communication and network management.Description by Chatgpt.This video was filmed at Swiss IT Forum(s) 2024 in Geneva Switzerland, check out all my Swiss IT Forum videos here: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7xXqJFxvYvgk4upSBTibrBuMcgvNjlEqThis video was filmed using the DJI Pocket 3 ($669 at amzn.to/4aMpKIC using the dual wireless DJI Mic 2 microphones without a lapel amzn.to/3XIj3l8 ), watch all my DJI Pocket 3 videos here youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7xXqJFxvYvhDlWIAxm_pR9dp7ArSkhKKJoin youtube.com/charbax/join for Early Access to my videos as soon as I upload them before they go public.

Cisco AI-Powered Video Conferencing Solutions at Swiss IT Forum Charbax 2024-10-03 | At the Swiss IT Forum, Alain Rymar from Cisco discussed the advanced video conferencing solutions that Cisco offers, particularly emphasizing the products designed for rooms of various sizes. These products, such as video conferencing systems, provide interoperability and automation capabilities, making them adaptable to platforms like Microsoft Teams, WebEx, Zoom, and Google. Cisco's systems can manage various room sizes, ranging from small meeting spaces to large conference rooms, while offering features like sensor integration, automation, and AI-driven enhancements to improve the overall conferencing experience.Rymar highlighted the automation capabilities of Cisco's products, such as integration with building management systems, allowing control over aspects like blinds, air conditioning, and lighting. This level of integration enables seamless connectivity with other smart systems and appliances, adding value to different types of room setups. Cisco's video conferencing solutions are developed in Oslo, where the company’s business unit focuses on incorporating advanced AI features, both for audio and video. One key feature is the noise removal capability, which leverages AI to eliminate non-human sounds during meetings, enhancing the clarity and quality of communication.The video products employ AI for features like speaker tracking, group view, and present tracking. These capabilities allow the camera to automatically focus on individuals as they speak, ensuring that all participants are visible, even in large conference rooms. This technology creates a more immersive experience for remote participants, as it captures body language, facial expressions, and reactions, making the experience feel more natural and engaging. The system can automatically adjust to include new speakers or adjust the field of view as needed, contributing to a seamless communication experience.A standout aspect of Cisco’s technology is the ability to adjust to different room sizes using multiple versions of their room bar product, each designed for different distances. For example, the basic bar covers up to 3 meters, while more advanced versions can extend up to 18 meters with additional PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) cameras. This flexibility ensures optimal tracking and visibility regardless of the size or layout of the room, demonstrating the system's adaptability to diverse conferencing needs.Rymar also touched on the AI capabilities for summarizing meetings, which allow for a more efficient and time-saving experience. The AI can generate summaries, chapters, and highlights, making it easier for participants to review key points or catch up on missed content. This integration extends to a variety of platforms, including WebEx, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom, enabling users to search for specific segments of meetings, topics discussed, or even instances when their name was mentioned, making meetings more interactive and user-friendly.Beyond video conferencing, Rymar discussed Cisco's AI-driven solutions for contact centers, which are designed to support agents through features like automated call summaries and behavior analysis. This helps reduce the potential for burnout among agents by automating repetitive tasks and providing real-time coaching, which is particularly valuable for maintaining high-quality customer service interactions. The AI can also monitor for signs of stress or fatigue, making the system beneficial for agents’ well-being and efficiency.Rymar emphasized Cisco's leadership in networking technology, particularly in ensuring low latency and high-quality video conferencing experiences. The AI codec developed by Cisco allows video content to be transmitted at a lower resolution and then enhanced to high resolution on the receiving end, optimizing bandwidth usage without compromising quality. This technology is currently active within Cisco's WebEx application and is expected to expand to video codecs later in the fiscal year, demonstrating Cisco's ongoing innovation in the video conferencing space.Description by Chatgpt.This video was filmed at Swiss IT Forum(s) 2024 in Geneva Switzerland, check out all my Swiss IT Forum videos here: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7xXqJFxvYvgk4upSBTibrBuMcgvNjlEqThis video was filmed using the DJI Pocket 3 ($669 at amzn.to/4aMpKIC using the dual wireless DJI Mic 2 microphones without a lapel amzn.to/3XIj3l8 ), watch all my DJI Pocket 3 videos here youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7xXqJFxvYvhDlWIAxm_pR9dp7ArSkhKKJoin youtube.com/charbax/join for Early Access to my videos as soon as I upload them before they go public.

Brack.ch: Swiss E-Commerce Leader Shares B2B Solutions at Swiss IT Forum Charbax 2024-10-03 | Brack.ch, a well-known e-commerce company in Switzerland, recently showcased its business solutions at the Swiss IT Forum. The company operates in both B2B (business-to-business) and B2C (business-to-consumer) markets, offering a wide range of products from electronics to furniture. In the interview, representatives Greg and Daniel introduced some of Brack.ch's own branded products, such as their latest chairs from the "Onit" brand, highlighting the company's commitment to quality and comfort at competitive prices.Brack.ch stands out with its extensive inventory, featuring around 250,000 products on its platform. The e-commerce giant is a leader in Switzerland, with a close second position in the market, right behind their main competitor Galaxus. The company offers a diverse product range, allowing customers to buy almost anything they need, from garden furniture and barbecues to office supplies and IT products. This flexibility makes Brack.ch a convenient one-stop shop for both individuals and businesses looking for a broad selection of goods.One key difference between Brack.ch's B2B and B2C services is the tailored functionality offered to business customers. The B2B platform includes features such as special invoicing, multi-user access, and spending limits per user, catering to the unique needs of companies. This makes it easier for businesses to manage their purchases and ensures that Brack.ch meets the specific requirements of corporate clients.Brack.ch's history dates back 30 years, and it started even before the advent of the internet. The founder, Roland Brack, initially began building computers from his house, combining various components to meet customer needs. This entrepreneurial spirit laid the foundation for the company, which has since grown into one of Switzerland's most prominent e-commerce platforms. Although often compared to Amazon, Roland Brack is described as a more approachable figure, and his company remains a Swiss-centric enterprise.Logistics is a significant strength for Brack.ch, with its automated logistics center located near Lucerne in Wau. This facility is equipped with advanced robotics, such as an auto-store system, ensuring efficient handling and distribution of products. The advanced logistics infrastructure allows Brack.ch to deliver products swiftly, often within a day, ensuring high customer satisfaction and a reliable shopping experience.The interview also touched on why Amazon has not established a strong presence in Switzerland. Despite being present in neighboring countries, Amazon finds the Swiss market less attractive due to its smaller size, complex borders, and the strength of local players like Brack.ch. The company has successfully built a reputation for offering quality products at competitive prices, with factors such as Switzerland's lower VAT rate making certain items, like iPhones, even cheaper than in Germany.Despite Switzerland’s reputation for being an expensive country, Brack.ch offers cost-effective solutions, especially in IT and tech products. The company’s efficiency and streamlined operations allow it to keep prices competitive, even in a high-cost market. Brack.ch ensures high-quality standards for its own branded products, such as the Onit range, by working with reputable factories and partners to produce goods that meet their stringent quality requirements.Currently, Brack.ch's focus remains entirely on the Swiss market, with no immediate plans to expand internationally. The company aims to strengthen its presence in the French-speaking part of Switzerland, as mentioned during the interview at the Swiss IT Forum. By participating in events like this, Brack.ch seeks to connect with existing customers, showcase its services, network with partners, and reinforce its position as a leading Swiss e-commerce provider dedicated to delivering high-quality products and solutions tailored to both consumers and businesses.Description by Chatgpt.This video was filmed at Swiss IT Forum(s) 2024 in Geneva Switzerland, check out all my Swiss IT Forum videos here: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7xXqJFxvYvgk4upSBTibrBuMcgvNjlEqThis video was filmed using the DJI Pocket 3 ($669 at amzn.to/4aMpKIC using the dual wireless DJI Mic 2 microphones without a lapel amzn.to/3XIj3l8 ), watch all my DJI Pocket 3 videos here youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7xXqJFxvYvhDlWIAxm_pR9dp7ArSkhKKJoin youtube.com/charbax/join for Early Access to my videos as soon as I upload them before they go public.

SwissDevJobs.ch Interview, Top Swiss Tech Job Board | Founder Greg Tomasik Interview Charbax 2024-10-01 | The interview features Janusz Greg Tomasik, a software engineer who moved from Poland to Switzerland in 2017 and later co-founded the job board SwissDevJobs.ch in 2018. He discusses his journey in the Swiss tech industry and how he identified a gap in the market for a transparent job platform specifically catering to tech roles in Switzerland. Over the past six years, his platform has grown significantly, becoming one of the most popular IT job boards in the country with more than 85,000 monthly visitors. Despite the tech job market recently experiencing a slowdown, Greg's platform continues to support job seekers and employers in Switzerland's tech industry.SwissDevJobs.ch distinguishes itself by emphasizing transparency, requiring companies to disclose salary ranges and technology stacks in job listings. This unique approach has helped the platform host over 2,000 job postings over the years. However, the current market is facing challenges, with the number of active job postings halved from around 600 in 2022 to about 300 in recent months. This decline reflects broader economic trends, such as higher interest rates and reduced funding for startups, which have led to companies prioritizing cost-efficiency. As a result, the job market has shifted from being candidate-driven to employer-driven.Greg mentions that while SwissDevJobs.ch isn't a recruitment agency, it offers valuable resources for job seekers. For instance, they provide comprehensive guides on finding and moving to Switzerland as a software engineer, addressing topics like work permits and the Swiss work environment. This has been particularly beneficial for software engineers from the European Union (EU), as moving to Switzerland is relatively straightforward for them due to easier work permit processes. However, for non-EU candidates, the process is more complicated, as companies need to prove they couldn’t hire anyone locally.Switzerland remains an attractive destination for software engineers from the EU due to high earning potential, quality of life, and natural beauty. Greg highlights that, compared to countries like Spain, Italy, Germany, and France, Switzerland offers competitive salaries and a higher standard of living. Although remote work became more popular during the COVID-19 pandemic, companies in Switzerland are increasingly encouraging employees to return to the office. Therefore, developers typically need to reside near major cities like Zurich or Geneva to meet these demands.SwissDevJobs.ch operates as a job board where companies pay a fee to list job advertisements. The basic job posting costs 390 Swiss francs for 30 days, while a business job posting, which is more suitable for harder-to-fill positions, costs 590 Swiss francs and remains active until the position is filled. This model ensures that companies find success with their job listings on the platform.The conversation also touches on the impact of AI on software development. Greg observes that AI tools have become valuable assets for experienced developers, allowing them to improve their productivity by up to 50%. However, this trend has posed challenges for junior developers, as AI can now handle many tasks that were previously entry-level, making it harder for newcomers to gain practical experience. To succeed, junior developers need to adapt and become proficient in using AI tools themselves.Greg discusses how AI tools currently serve two main purposes. Experienced developers use AI to speed up their coding process, requiring a certain level of skill to understand and refine the AI-generated code. In contrast, non-coders, such as business professionals, can leverage AI to create quick prototypes, even without technical knowledge. This allows them to validate ideas or demonstrate concepts to customers.In summary, Greg emphasizes that the tech industry is in a period of rapid change, particularly with AI's growing influence. The impact of AI on the job market is still unfolding, and it's crucial for both developers and businesses to stay updated on the latest tools and trends. This dynamic environment offers opportunities for those who are willing to adapt, but it also presents challenges, especially for those at the beginning of their tech careers.Description by Chatgpt.This video was filmed at Swiss IT Forum(s) 2024 in Geneva Switzerland, check out all my Swiss IT Forum videos here: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7xXqJFxvYvgk4upSBTibrBuMcgvNjlEqThis video was filmed using the DJI Pocket 3 ($669 at amzn.to/4aMpKIC using the dual wireless DJI Mic 2 microphones without a lapel amzn.to/3XIj3l8 ), watch all my DJI Pocket 3 videos here youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7xXqJFxvYvhDlWIAxm_pR9dp7ArSkhKKJoin youtube.com/charbax/join for Early Access to my videos as soon as I upload them before they go public.

Their primary goal is to optimize the delivery process for everyone by implementing a system that enhances efficiency and reduces the overall cost. Currently, many delivery platforms operate using a point-to-point delivery method, where drivers handle individual orders without any grouping or optimization. This results in inefficiencies and increased expenses for both the platforms and businesses involved.The key concept behind Rapidonkey’s system is the idea of grouping orders together. Instead of handling orders individually, their system waits for multiple orders to come in before dispatching them collectively. This method can reduce delivery times and costs, making the process more efficient and ensuring that orders reach customers on time. Vlad emphasizes that customers would only have to wait around 10 minutes for their orders to be grouped, ensuring timely deliveries without unnecessary delays.Rapidonkey aims to serve as the underlying engine that powers future delivery platforms, rather than becoming a delivery app itself. It offers a solution that other companies can implement to improve their logistics and remain competitive in the evolving market. The system they propose is designed to be used by various platforms that want to be more efficient and cost-effective, ultimately benefiting the entire delivery ecosystem.Vlad showcased calculations and visualizations to demonstrate the inefficiencies of the current delivery systems, comparing the distances traveled by drivers in the present versus the optimized future model. The contrast highlighted how grouping orders can significantly reduce the total distance traveled, leading to lower costs and more sustainable operations. This approach not only benefits the delivery platforms but also helps restaurants and other businesses by reducing their operational expenses.The Rapidonkey project is relatively new, having been launched only four months ago. Despite being in its early stages, Vlad and his team are actively searching for ambitious entrepreneurs and businesses willing to adopt this innovative system. They believe that their approach will not only make delivery more efficient but also more profitable for everyone involved. The company is eager to collaborate with partners across various markets and countries, aiming for widespread adoption.One of the critical aspects of Rapidonkey's system is its use of artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced algorithms. The AI helps in efficiently grouping orders and finding optimal delivery routes, enabling faster and more accurate decisions. Vlad mentioned the use of "metais algorithms," which are advanced techniques that help solve complex equations involving multiple variables. These algorithms allow Rapidonkey to operate effectively in an environment filled with uncertainty, ensuring that their system can quickly adapt to changing conditions and provide fast approximations for delivery solutions.Rapidonkey's approach represents a significant shift in how delivery logistics can be managed. By moving away from the point-to-point delivery model, the company offers a solution that reduces costs, minimizes waste, and improves overall efficiency. This model could potentially revolutionize how delivery services operate, creating a more sustainable and profitable industry.In summary, Rapidonkey is a promising transportation management system that aims to revolutionize the delivery industry through the use of AI and advanced algorithms. By grouping orders together and optimizing delivery routes, it offers a solution that can benefit delivery platforms, businesses, and customers alike. The company is positioned to become the driving force behind future delivery platforms, providing them with the tools needed to stay competitive and efficient in a rapidly changing market.Description by Chatgpt.This video was filmed at Swiss IT Forum(s) 2024 in Geneva Switzerland, check out all my Swiss IT Forum videos here: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7xXqJFxvYvgk4upSBTibrBuMcgvNjlEqThis video was filmed using the DJI Pocket 3 ($669 at amzn.to/4aMpKIC using the dual wireless DJI Mic 2 microphones without a lapel amzn.to/3XIj3l8 ), watch all my DJI Pocket 3 videos here youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7xXqJFxvYvhDlWIAxm_pR9dp7ArSkhKKJoin youtube.com/charbax/join for Early Access to my videos as soon as I upload them before they go public.

This proactive approach allows financial institutions to alert customers to potential fraud, thereby enhancing security and trust. The emphasis on better data leading to improved AI performance underscores the importance of effective data management solutions in today's data-driven landscape.Cloudera collaborates with several major Swiss banks and other financial institutions, dedicating substantial resources to tailor their solutions to the needs of these organizations.

Stellium: Generative AI Solutions at the Swiss IT Forum Charbax 2024-09-27 | CEO and co-founder of a consulting company named Stellium, specializing in IT services. Present at the Swiss Forum in Geneva, he emphasizes their focus on generative AI solutions. The company utilizes Microsoft technologies, but also leverages open AI systems like Copilot and GPT for their offerings. Stellium targets a wide range of organizations, from small businesses to large enterprises, helping them manage operations efficiently through tailored AI solutions.The speaker highlights the importance of enhancing employee productivity by alleviating mundane tasks through AI. Improving efficiency benefits organizational goals and contributes to employee satisfaction. By automating repetitive tasks, employees can redirect their efforts toward more meaningful and valuable work. This shift not only streamlines operations but also fosters a happier workforce, showcasing the dual benefits of integrating AI into business processes.In a demonstration of their capabilities, the speaker introduces a gamified application built on GPT-4. This game resembles Trivial Pursuit and allows users to engage in quizzes on various topics, showcasing the versatility and adaptability of AI in educational and training contexts. The potential for such interactive tools to enhance learning experiences is emphasized, providing organizations with innovative means to train employees and facilitate knowledge acquisition in a fun and engaging manner.Stellium was founded five years ago in Switzerland, with growth extending to include offices in Lisbon and plans for further expansion. The company’s client base primarily consists of large and medium-sized organizations around Lake Geneva, including multinational companies and public sector entities. The speaker notes that the firm has grown from three to thirty-five employees, reflecting their success and the increasing demand for AI solutions in various markets.The speaker discusses the evolving landscape of AI adoption among companies, noting that while many are familiar with the technology, there is still a need for structured guidance on implementation. Successful AI initiatives should originate from specific business needs and operational demands rather than being solely driven by IT departments. This shift underscores the necessity for tailored AI solutions that can be replicated across different industries, thereby maximizing their effectiveness.During a recent conference at the forum, Stellium presented two specific case studies illustrating their success in the education and healthcare sectors. In education, they assist students in managing their training programs more effectively, while in healthcare, they help hospitals reduce administrative burdens, allowing professionals to focus on patient care. These examples illustrate the tangible benefits of AI in improving operational efficiency and enhancing service delivery in critical sectors.The speaker also touches on the company’s recruitment strategy, highlighting the importance of having team members with a solid technical background who are also passionate about AI and innovation. While technical skills are essential, candidates must possess a consulting mindset. This dual requirement ensures that team members can effectively communicate and collaborate with clients to address their specific needs and challenges.Finally, the speaker expresses enthusiasm for the dynamic nature of the technology industry, particularly the rapid advancements in generative AI. He believes that joining Stellium offers individuals a unique opportunity to learn and grow within a constantly evolving field. The collaborative environment fosters continuous learning and adaptation, making it an attractive place for professionals eager to explore the potential of AI in transforming businesses and enhancing efficiency.Description by Chatgpt.This video was filmed at Swiss IT Forum(s) 2024 in Geneva Switzerland, check out all my Swiss IT Forum videos here: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7xXqJFxvYvgk4upSBTibrBuMcgvNjlEqThis video was filmed using the DJI Pocket 3 ($669 at amzn.to/4aMpKIC using the dual wireless DJI Mic 2 microphones without a lapel amzn.to/3XIj3l8 ), watch all my DJI Pocket 3 videos here youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7xXqJFxvYvhDlWIAxm_pR9dp7ArSkhKKJoin youtube.com/charbax/join for Early Access to my videos as soon as I upload them before they go public.
IJO: Revolutionizing Sustainability Consulting for IT Footprints and Decarbonization, Swiss IT Forum Charbax 2024-09-27 | The company IJO, represented by Ahmet Ozer, specializes in sustainability consulting, particularly for large corporations and multinationals. They focus on providing precise calculations of the environmental footprint, especially the carbon footprint, for IT departments. Through their consulting and research services, they assist clients in measuring their impact and developing strategies to decarbonize their IT activities. Clients often inquire about specific technologies like AI and VDI, and IJO's role is to conduct in-depth studies that help understand these technologies’ life cycle impacts, allowing for accurate carbon footprint calculations.IJO does not heavily rely on AI at present because they have found it challenging to calculate the carbon footprint of AI technologies accurately. Although they have conducted some studies for clients using AI, and there are ongoing collaborations with universities, IJO’s main focus remains on providing clear interpretations of these studies. Their aim is to help clients accurately measure the carbon impact of their AI use cases, going beyond just AI to encompass broader environmental considerations.The company’s work is not limited to carbon footprint calculations alone; they consider other environmental factors. After assessing the environmental footprint, IJO helps its clients devise actionable plans to reduce their footprint, particularly concerning cloud consumption, equipment lifecycle management, and software procurement. This holistic approach allows clients to implement comprehensive sustainability strategies across their operations, covering areas such as hardware, servers, and software management.One of IJO’s notable tools is the “Calculator Project,” a tool they developed to help clients estimate the environmental impact of a project before it begins. This tool aids clients in understanding the potential footprint, which can lead them to reconsider or resize projects to be more sustainable from the outset. Throughout a project's lifecycle, clients can use this tool to adjust and refine their data, enabling more precise understanding and management of the project's overall footprint.IJO has also worked with technology providers to help them understand and measure the carbon footprint of their products and services. A prime example is their collaboration with OVHcloud, a leading European cloud provider, where IJO helped develop a methodology and tool to allow OVHcloud's clients to calculate the environmental impact of their cloud services usage. This project is still ongoing, and it highlights IJO's role in aiding tech providers to transparently share carbon footprint data with their customers, which is increasingly demanded by clients and in response to RFP requirements.IJO also works to demystify existing carbon calculators provided by other cloud service giants, often referred to as "hyperscalers," to help clients gain a better understanding of what these calculators cover and, importantly, what they might leave out. This insight is crucial for clients to have a more complete and accurate picture of their environmental impact, especially when it comes to cloud service consumption.In addition to consulting, IJO places a significant emphasis on raising awareness and training within organizations about sustainability practices. They use tools such as the “Fresco of the Climate,” which is particularly effective in training top management and helping clients spread sustainability awareness throughout their teams. Another platform, “IJO Learning,” enables individuals across different departments within an organization to understand their own carbon footprint and take actionable steps to reduce it.The company, primarily based in Paris with an office in Geneva, serves a global clientele across various sectors, including luxury, banking, and public sectors, with growing interest from industrial companies. While IJO provides consulting and tools to assist clients in sustainability initiatives, they also collaborate with partners to develop more automated solutions for clients looking to industrialize their sustainability efforts.Description by Chatgpt.This video was filmed at Swiss IT Forum(s) 2024 in Geneva Switzerland, check out all my Swiss IT Forum videos here: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7xXqJFxvYvgk4upSBTibrBuMcgvNjlEqThis video was filmed using the DJI Pocket 3 ($669 at amzn.to/4aMpKIC using the dual wireless DJI Mic 2 microphones without a lapel amzn.to/3XIj3l8 ), watch all my DJI Pocket 3 videos here youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7xXqJFxvYvhDlWIAxm_pR9dp7ArSkhKKJoin youtube.com/charbax/join for Early Access to my videos as soon as I upload them before they go public.

Tyrex: USB Security Solution for Businesses at Swiss IT Forum Charbax 2024-09-26 | Tyrex, a cybersecurity company specializing in a product designed to protect against threats from USB drives and other external storage devices. The product’s primary function is to scan the entire contents of USB drives, CDs, hard drives, and similar devices to ensure they are free of malware and other threats before being connected to a company's network. This tool offers a vital layer of protection, especially when external vendors or partners bring in drives that could potentially compromise a company's cybersecurity.Vincent emphasizes the importance of this technology, noting that USB sticks are one of the most common methods hackers use to infiltrate corporate networks. A single infected USB drive plugged into a company's computer could lead to devastating consequences, such as a complete compromise of the system. The Tyrex product works across all operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux, making it an all-encompassing solution for industries with complex and varied technology environments. It's particularly valuable for large supply chain industries, where disruptions due to cyber threats could result in millions of euros in losses.The Tyrex solution provides flexibility by allowing organizations to ban or control USB usage within their networks. It enables safe data transfer from USB drives to shared network storage, ensuring that files are thoroughly scanned before they reach the network. This feature acts similarly to a network-attached storage (NAS) system, where safe files are uploaded to cloud or network storage, ensuring that only secure data is integrated into the corporate environment.As the world leader in this kind of USB security technology, Tyrex boasts over 3,000 installations worldwide, serving clients across various regions, including Asia, the United States, Europe, Australia, and South America. They leverage existing antivirus and anti-malware solutions and integrate AI-based detection methods to keep up with the ever-evolving threat landscape. Vincent points out that they stay updated with the latest threats by partnering with antivirus vendors and using advanced detection methods, ensuring they can identify even unknown threats, often in combination with artificial intelligence to detect behavioral patterns of malware.Vincent also touches upon how Tyrex handles more sophisticated detection, where the company uses AI to recognize complex threat patterns. For example, certain threats might appear benign when isolated but could become dangerous when combined with others. This sophisticated level of detection helps prevent more complex attacks that might otherwise slip through traditional antivirus programs.Tyrex is expanding its reach and working with partners such as Meanquest, a Swiss company that specializes in cybersecurity products and services. The partnership aims to strengthen Tyrex’s presence in Switzerland and beyond, as Vincent mentions that Tyrex is seeking to grow its customer base in that region and in other European countries, as well as in the US. Despite having a few competitors in France and the US, Tyrex maintains a leading position due to the uniqueness and simplicity of its hardware and software solution.The core Tyrex product is a dedicated hardware device, designed to be straightforward for non-technical users to operate. Companies can also opt for software agents that enforce USB scanning policies, ensuring that if a drive is not pre-scanned by the Tyrex device, it cannot be used on company laptops. This added layer of security helps enforce compliance within organizations and ensures that USB threats are thoroughly managed.Finally, Vincent explains that the pricing of Tyrex's products varies based on the customer’s size and the volume of devices needed. However, he refrains from disclosing specific pricing details, suggesting that potential clients should contact Tyrex or its distributors directly for more information. This approach underscores Tyrex's position as a customized solution provider, offering products tailored to the unique needs and security requirements of different businesses.Description by Chatgpt.This video was filmed at Swiss IT Forum(s) 2024 in Geneva Switzerland, check out all my Swiss IT Forum videos here: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7xXqJFxvYvgk4upSBTibrBuMcgvNjlEqThis video was filmed using the DJI Pocket 3 ($669 at amzn.to/4aMpKIC using the dual wireless DJI Mic 2 microphones without a lapel amzn.to/3XIj3l8 ), watch all my DJI Pocket 3 videos here youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7xXqJFxvYvhDlWIAxm_pR9dp7ArSkhKKJoin youtube.com/charbax/join for Early Access to my videos as soon as I upload them before they go public.

Patrik introduces the company's product line, emphasizing their partnership with major technology brands such as Huawei, H3C, xFusion, and MoGo. He begins by showcasing the "IdeaHub" from Huawei, a high-quality, interactive display that integrates a camera, microphone, and 4K touch screen capabilities. This device allows users to annotate directly on websites and share information with customers, making it a versatile tool for interactive presentations.Patrik emphasizes that the IdeaHub is a cost-effective solution, claiming it offers high brightness and quality at a competitive price. Although he doesn't know the exact technical specifications, he confidently describes it as one of the best solutions available on the market today. Absolut Distribution focuses on serving customers in Switzerland, offering products that are tailored to small businesses yet maintain enterprise-level quality.In addition to the IdeaHub, Patrik also discusses their distribution of network ports and other networking solutions, highlighting an outdoor switch from Huawei. He mentions the switch is equipped with Wi-Fi 7, which offers speeds of up to 19 GB per second, a significant advancement in wireless technology. However, Patrik points out that to utilize this Wi-Fi 7 technology, compatible devices are necessary, which are still emerging in the market. He expects newer devices like the iPhone 16 and MacBooks to soon adopt Wi-Fi 7 capabilities.Patrik explains that Absolut Distribution has a long-standing relationship with Huawei, having worked with them for 13 years. He acknowledges that Huawei is a global leader in technology, although it has faced restrictions in the American market, particularly under the Trump administration. Despite this, Huawei products remain popular in Europe and Switzerland, with no restrictions or negative perceptions, though some customers are still cautious due to its Chinese origins.When asked about alternative solutions to Huawei, Patrik mentions Nokia as a potential competitor. However, he insists that Huawei’s products are superior in terms of quality and are more affordable. As an example, he cites the outdoor switch, which costs around 170 Swiss Francs per unit, making it a budget-friendly option for enterprises that require multiple devices.Patrik also highlights Huawei’s readiness for faster networking speeds, such as 2.5 Gbps, which is ideal for Wi-Fi 7. He mentions that Huawei products often use fiber optics for interconnectivity, ensuring fast data transfer rates between switches. This adaptability and forward-thinking technology make Huawei products well-suited for the evolving demands of modern enterprise networking.Absolut Distribution offers a wide range of Huawei’s enterprise solutions, although they don’t handle Huawei's consumer products like mobile phones. Patrik mentions that Huawei has made significant advancements over the past two years, particularly in 5G and upcoming 5.5G technologies. He refers to Huawei’s demonstration at the Mobile World Congress, which showcased their cutting-edge 5G solutions, all of which are fully compatible with the Swiss market.Finally, Patrik clarifies that while Absolut Distribution is not the exclusive distributor of Huawei Enterprise products in Switzerland, they are the largest, with two main competitors. This position highlights the company’s strength in the market and its extensive experience in delivering high-quality, enterprise-grade technology solutions to Swiss customers.Description by Chatgpt.This video was filmed at Swiss IT Forum(s) 2024 in Geneva Switzerland, check out all my Swiss IT Forum videos here: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7xXqJFxvYvgk4upSBTibrBuMcgvNjlEqThis video was filmed using the DJI Pocket 3 ($669 at amzn.to/4aMpKIC using the dual wireless DJI Mic 2 microphones without a lapel amzn.to/3XIj3l8 ), watch all my DJI Pocket 3 videos here youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7xXqJFxvYvhDlWIAxm_pR9dp7ArSkhKKJoin youtube.com/charbax/join for Early Access to my videos as soon as I upload them before they go public.
Aktio Helps Companies Measure and Reduce Their Carbon Footprint at Swiss IT Forum Charbax 2024-09-26 | Aktio is a software company that specializes in carbon footprint assessments for businesses, helping them understand and manage their carbon emissions. Their primary service involves measuring the total CO2 emissions of a company over a year, providing a comprehensive view of the company’s environmental impact. This analysis covers three main scopes of emissions, capturing every aspect of a company's operations. Given the growing regulatory requirements in France and internationally, many companies are increasingly obligated or advised to monitor and reduce their emissions. Aktio assists them in not only assessing but also strategizing on how to reduce their carbon footprint over time.Aktio's platform works by collecting data from clients, transforming this information into measurable carbon emissions. They support companies in defining long-term strategies to reduce these emissions by providing them with a detailed picture of their current environmental impact. The platform is used by clients across Europe, with a strong presence in France. While most of their customers operate in multiple locations and industries, Aktio is steadily expanding its reach to companies around the world, including those in America and Asia.The company’s software offers a data collection feature that allows internal team members to gather relevant data across various areas, such as energy consumption, transportation, and purchases. After this data is collected, the platform can generate detailed reports, helping companies visualize their emissions over time. A notable feature of the platform is its ability to set long-term reduction targets and track progress against these goals. Clients can see both their actual emissions trends and projected paths if they implement specific reduction strategies.In terms of competition, Aktio operates in a market with several other platforms and consulting companies that offer similar services, particularly in the French market. However, Aktio distinguishes itself by targeting clients with multiple sites and activities, enabling these companies to break down their carbon footprints across various locations and sectors. Their primary clientele includes industrial and construction-related businesses, where tracking emissions can be more complex due to the diversity of their operations.Beyond data collection and assessment, Aktio provides tools to help clients identify action plans to reduce emissions and even offers access to a partner catalog with solutions that can assist companies in their sustainability efforts. The company is not involved in carbon trading but emphasizes the importance of regulatory compliance and investor expectations. Carbon footprint assessments are increasingly required for larger companies, and investors are demanding more transparency in ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) reporting.While some companies claim carbon neutrality through offsetting schemes such as tree planting, Aktio is critical of this approach and emphasizes that such claims can often be a form of "greenwashing." Instead, Aktio encourages its clients to focus on genuine reduction efforts, as complete carbon neutrality at an individual company level is misleading. Their approach stresses that every company has a responsibility to minimize its emissions as much as possible.Aktio's business model is built on a subscription-based platform complemented by consulting services. Pricing is determined by the size and sector of the company, as well as how much consulting support is required.

Their focus on automation has allowed them to efficiently handle their operations, even with a limited team. They prioritize automation and efficiency, which enables them to maintain high standards while managing complex and large-scale infrastructure.ISP Solutions serves two primary types of customers: companies that wish to host their own servers in highly secure Swiss data centers and larger businesses that need their IT services. Additionally, they work closely with IT integrators, who add their services on top of the infrastructure provided by ISP Solutions, thereby expanding their offerings to their clients. The company also supports clients who want to create private clouds across multiple data centers in Switzerland, providing them with power, network, and secure server management.Towards the end of the discussion, they mention celebrating ISP Solutions' 20th anniversary with a special event at the Swiss IT Forum, demonstrating their pride in the company’s long-standing success and commitment to providing high-quality services.

Opennet: Integrating Odoo ERP Solutions for Swiss Businesses at Swiss IT Forum Charbax 2024-09-26 | Opennet, a Swiss company specializing in the integration and implementation of the Odoo ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system. The interviewee, works as a business analyst at Opennet, focusing on integrating Odoo for small to medium-sized businesses. Opennet itself has been in existence since 2001 and has worked with Odoo since 2005. Odoo, a Belgium-based ERP solution, is one of the leading ERP systems globally, competing with other major platforms such as SAP and Salesforce. It is designed to be versatile, addressing various aspects of a company's operations, including HR, production, CRM, and accounting.Odoo is distinguished from its competitors like Salesforce and SAP by being more integrated and cost-effective. While Salesforce is primarily a CRM system that requires additional development and expenses to manage accounting or other ERP functionalities, Odoo offers a unified platform where all business processes, from prospect management to sales orders, are managed seamlessly. This integrated approach means businesses can handle everything from customer management to invoicing without needing separate systems, making it a more efficient solution.Odoo is structured as a modular system that functions like an operating system on the web, offering various applications for different business needs. Users can access Odoo through a web-based interface or on mobile devices, providing flexibility and accessibility. Opennet’s role as an integrator is to help clients transition to Odoo, especially those moving from outdated systems that may be server-based and not accessible remotely. This transition became particularly relevant after the COVID-19 lockdowns, which highlighted the need for web-based solutions that allow employees to work from anywhere.Opennet also emphasizes sustainability in its product offerings, having developed a specialized module for CO2 reporting in compliance with European regulations. This module enables companies to track and report their carbon emissions in their financial reports, which is increasingly required by law, especially for larger organizations. The goal is to promote decarbonization and encourage businesses to minimize their carbon footprint. This sustainability focus aligns with Odoo's capabilities as a flexible, open-source system where additional modules and functionalities can be developed to meet evolving business needs.Odoo's open-source nature allows for collaboration among a community of developers. While the core of Odoo is open-source, meaning the software itself is freely available, there are still costs involved, particularly in implementation, customization, and ongoing support. Opennet contributes to this community by developing and sharing modules that others can use or modify. The shared nature of open-source means that while the software is technically free, expertise and integration work are what clients pay for, ensuring the system is tailored to their needs.One of the unique aspects of Opennet's services includes its work with cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. The company has developed a module for integrating cryptocurrency accounting within Odoo, enabling clients engaged in crypto transactions to manage their financial records accurately. Despite the complexities of crypto business, Opennet helps its clients maintain compliance with traditional accounting practices, ensuring they have accurate balance sheets and profit and loss statements.Opennet primarily serves the Swiss market, working with various clients across the country's French- and German-speaking regions. The company ensures data security by keeping its cloud services within Switzerland, using secure servers and encryption methods to protect client data. Opennet’s infrastructure is hosted with Infomaniak, a reputable Swiss cloud provider, which appeals to customers who prefer their data to remain within national borders for privacy and regulatory reasons.Description by Chatgpt.This video was filmed at Swiss IT Forum(s) 2024 in Geneva Switzerland, check out all my Swiss IT Forum videos here: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7xXqJFxvYvgk4upSBTibrBuMcgvNjlEqThis video was filmed using the DJI Pocket 3 ($669 at amzn.to/4aMpKIC using the dual wireless DJI Mic 2 microphones without a lapel amzn.to/3XIj3l8 ), watch all my DJI Pocket 3 videos here youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7xXqJFxvYvhDlWIAxm_pR9dp7ArSkhKKJoin youtube.com/charbax/join for Early Access to my videos as soon as I upload them before they go public.
Barco ClickShare Bar: All-in-One Wireless Video Conferencing Solution at Swiss IT Forum Charbax 2024-09-26 | Thomas Engelbrecht, Territory Manager for Barco in Switzerland and Austria, introducing Barco’s new ClickShare Bar, a wireless video conferencing solution. Tom explains that this device provides a simple and efficient way to share content during meetings. Users can connect their notebook to the ClickShare system by plugging in a USB button, which, when pressed, shares the content wirelessly to the screen in the room. This makes the ClickShare Bar suitable for various online meeting platforms such as Zoom, WebEx, or Microsoft Teams.The ClickShare Bar is an all-in-one solution that includes a camera, six microphones, and two speakers, providing everything needed for video conferencing in a single unit. It eliminates the need for additional cables, as it connects wirelessly via Wi-Fi, ensuring easy and clutter-free installation. The ClickShare system uses a special Wi-Fi protocol, meaning no extra wiring is required beyond the power supply. If users do not have the ClickShare Bar, they can opt for the regular ClickShare, which functions in a similar manner but without the integrated audio-visual components.In terms of performance, Tom emphasizes the high quality of the ClickShare Bar. The system includes a 4K camera that operates at 30 frames per second, providing clear and detailed video, which is sufficient for most business meetings. The six built-in microphones offer excellent audio quality and feature advanced technology that allows the camera to track speakers. This speaker tracking is achieved digitally, allowing the camera to crop and follow the person speaking without physically moving, ensuring seamless focus on the active participant.The ClickShare Bar is available in two versions: a core version and a pro version. The core version, priced at 2,450 Swiss Francs, includes all the essential features and supports 4K resolution. The pro version, priced at 2,500 Swiss Francs, offers additional functionality, such as the ability to connect two screens simultaneously. This flexibility makes it suitable for larger meeting rooms or scenarios where multiple displays are required.Barco, the company behind ClickShare, has a long history of innovation and quality. Tom mentions that Barco is celebrating its 90th anniversary this year, highlighting their extensive experience in the market. Although the company is based in Belgium, the ClickShare Bar is manufactured in Germany, which underscores the product’s high-quality European craftsmanship.Security is a crucial feature of the ClickShare Bar. The system uses advanced encryption protocols to protect the communication between the USB dongle and the ClickShare device. Tom assures that the connection is highly secure, with end-to-end encryption that is trusted by banks, insurance companies, and even the military. The encrypted Wi-Fi signal is extremely difficult to crack, making it a reliable choice for organizations with stringent security requirements.The ClickShare Bar also incorporates the latest video codecs, such as H.265, to ensure efficient use of bandwidth during video conferencing. However, the exact performance depends on the software being used and the user’s internet service provider. This adaptability allows the ClickShare Bar to work seamlessly across different environments, whether it's a corporate office, educational institution, or government agency.In conclusion, the Barco ClickShare Bar offers an advanced, all-in-one video conferencing solution with easy setup, high-quality video and audio, secure connections, and adaptability to various meeting platforms. With its proven track record in technology and a wide global user base, Barco’s ClickShare Bar is positioned as a leading choice for professional wireless video conferencing systems.Description by Chatgpt.This video was filmed at Swiss IT Forum(s) 2024 in Geneva Switzerland, check out all my Swiss IT Forum videos here: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7xXqJFxvYvgk4upSBTibrBuMcgvNjlEqThis video was filmed using the DJI Pocket 3 ($669 at amzn.to/4aMpKIC using the dual wireless DJI Mic 2 microphones without a lapel amzn.to/3XIj3l8 ), watch all my DJI Pocket 3 videos here youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7xXqJFxvYvhDlWIAxm_pR9dp7ArSkhKKJoin youtube.com/charbax/join for Early Access to my videos as soon as I upload them before they go public.
Geneva International Motor Show 2024 Opening Ceremony, towards the BYD Stand, Microlino and more Charbax 2024-07-17 | The Geneva International Motor Show 2024 reopened after a five-year hiatus. The break seemed to have been due to various logistical or strategic reasons. The event kicked off with an official opening ceremony attended by national and regional dignitaries, including one of the seven presidents of Switzerland, who welcomed attendees back to the show. The Swiss guards were also present, adding a touch of national pride and formality. The event quickly moved to the BYD stand, where a new electric vehicle model, the BYD Seal U, was unveiled. This model marks BYD's continued expansion into the European market with competitive pricing akin to that in China.Since its entry into the automotive industry in 2003, BYD has faced numerous challenges but has made significant strides, particularly in the electric vehicle (EV) sector. Last November, BYD celebrated the production of its six millionth new energy vehicle, a milestone that includes both electric and hybrid models. This achievement underscores BYD's leadership in the EV market, especially since the third quarter when they became a dominant player. The company's innovations and development strategies were highlighted, with a particular focus on their competitive pricing strategy for the European market, which remains a topic of interest and speculation.The Geneva Motor Show has always been a significant event for car enthusiasts and professionals alike. Day 2 of the show was designated as VIP Day, providing exclusive access for presidents and other important figures. The narrator reminisced about attending the show since childhood, a tradition started by his father who would obtain free tickets. This personal touch emphasizes the show's long-standing importance and its role in fostering a love for automobiles. The VIP nature of the initial days sets the stage for significant industry announcements and deals, such as the one involving BYD and Switzerland.One of the critical discussions at the show revolves around pricing strategies for EVs in different markets. The disparity between prices in China and Europe is attributed to various factors, including market competition and profit margins. In China, fierce competition results in lower profit margins, which may not be sustainable in the European market where companies aim for higher profitability. This economic insight provides context to the pricing strategies and the challenges companies face when entering new markets.The role of politicians in promoting mass adoption of EVs was also highlighted. The presence of Swiss federal officials underscores the importance of government support in driving the transition to electric vehicles. Policies and incentives from the government can significantly impact the market, encouraging manufacturers to optimize their strategies and increase production. This collaboration between the automotive industry and political leaders is crucial for the broader adoption of sustainable transportation solutions.The show featured a variety of car brands and models, including a deep dive into two different car models. Renault's new €25,000 EV, the R5, was particularly noteworthy. While the official price hasn't been confirmed, it is expected to be an affordable option in the European market. The car has received positive reviews and was even named the car of the year by European judges, further cementing its appeal. The diversity of models and the presence of various manufacturers highlight the dynamic nature of the automotive industry and the continuous push towards innovation and sustainability.One of the more interesting exhibits was from Microlino, a company known for its unique and compact electric vehicles. The narrator expressed hope that the vice president of Switzerland would take a ride in one of their models and possibly support a national program to increase the adoption of Swiss EVs globally. This segment of the show illustrates the variety of solutions being presented to tackle urban mobility challenges and the emphasis on smaller, more efficient vehicles. A ride with the Microlino through the halls was a particular highlight, showcasing the fun and practicality of these compact vehicles.The absence of several major car manufacturers, including Mercedes and Volkswagen, was noted. This absence might be due to the high costs associated with participating in such trade shows, with some companies opting for alternative promotional strategies like engaging with popular YouTubers.Sadly it's been stated by the Geneva Motor Show organisers that the next year's event is cancelled due to lack of car brands interest.all my videos from the Geneva Motor Show: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7xXqJFxvYvgM4lf6lIVE4ZVoPj_okOp1

Ultimems MEMS Projector raster scanning laser at Computex 2024: AR Glasses, 720p, 60FPS, Low Power Charbax 2024-06-11 | Eric from Ultimems introduced a groundbreaking technology in projection: the laser beam scanning projector. This new device, dubbed the "Vex scan," utilizes advanced laser beam scanning to create incredibly bright and clear images. Demonstrating its capabilities, Eric showed how the projector could be powered by a simple power bank, projecting images that remain sharp and visible even from a distance. This efficiency is notable, as a 10,000 mAh power bank can sustain the projector for up to 12 hours, making it ideal for prolonged use without the need for constant recharging.The technology's standout feature is its ability to function with minimal power consumption, making it a cost-effective solution for various applications, including outdoor signage and advertising. The projector's brightness and clarity are maintained even under sunlight, thanks to the efficient laser beam pointing mechanism that ensures high brightness and sharp images. This method is contrasted with traditional projectors that might struggle under such conditions, highlighting the Vex scan's superior performance.One of the unique uses of this technology is in the realm of augmented reality (AR) glasses. Eric explained that the same laser beam scanning technology could be applied to AR glasses, projecting images directly onto the user's retina. This approach eliminates the need for LCD panels and is independent of the user's eye condition, such as nearsightedness or farsightedness. The glasses can thus provide a seamless visual experience regardless of the user's visual impairments.The integration of this technology with AR glasses is achieved through a partnership with TDK, which helps miniaturize the components while maintaining high performance. Eric emphasized that this collaboration ensures that the technology is both innovative and compact, suitable for various practical applications. The laser beam scanning technology offers an alternative to other projection methods like Digital Light Processing (DLP) and micro-LED, positioning Ultimems as a leader in this niche market.Additionally, the technology is being used to enhance vision for individuals with severe eye conditions. In collaboration with Sony, this projector technology leverages high-zoom cameras to help people with retinal damage. By projecting enhanced images directly onto the retina, the device can compensate for damaged areas and improve the user's overall vision. This application is already available in North America and Japan, indicating its readiness for broader adoption.Eric also highlighted a practical application in the medical field where the technology aids in finding veins for injections. By using an IR camera to capture the vein's location and projecting it onto the skin, the device simplifies the process for healthcare providers. Another innovative use is in tattoo application, where the projector can display potential tattoo designs directly on the skin, allowing clients to visualize and adjust the placement before committing to the actual tattoo.The laser beam scanning projector is not just a prototype; it is ready for mass production. Already, products using this technology are available from companies like QD Laser. These products include AR glasses that are marketed and sold, demonstrating the practical viability of the technology. Ultimems plans to begin selling these projectors on Amazon by the end of June, with a starting price of $299, making the technology accessible to a broad audience.Finally, Eric provided technical details about the projector's capabilities, such as a resolution of 720p at 60 frames per second, with plans to upgrade to higher resolutions like 1080p or even 4K. The device can operate for up to eight hours on a typical smartphone battery, depending on the content being projected. The speed of the laser scanning is impressive, with the laser beam moving 60,000 positions per second to create stable and high-quality images. This combination of affordability, efficiency, and versatility makes the Vex scan projector a significant advancement in projection technology.Description by Chatgpt.This video was filmed at Computex 2024 in Taipei Taiwan, check out all my Computex videos here: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7xXqJFxvYvi-qyXBzlB6Wz6PNE8AafRPMy Early Access Members get full access to all my videos as I upload them nightly youtube.com/charbax/join before they are published are the rate of 3-5 videos per day in the days following the event.
