KaHa - COVE Technology Experience Walkthrough

KaHa, a Singapore-based end-to-end smart wearable IoT platform company, recently showcased its wide range of consumer products and features at the first COVE Technology Experience Walkthrough in Singapore at JTC Launchpad, an immersive exhibition space constructed to provide first-hand experience of KaHa’s smart wearable platform and products.

“We are at an inflection point with regard to how IoT and wearable technology i changing how we interact and go about our daily lives, and KaHa’s technology is taking advantage of this disruption. KaHa has demonstrated the demand of such technology through its various local and international partnerships."

--- Chirayu Wadke, partner at SeedPlus ---

KaHa’s consumer solutions were created using its unique operating system inbuilt with Artificial Intelligence (AI) / Machine Learning solutions, and designed with a range of consumer verticals in mind: Safety, Sports & Fitness, Health & Wellness, Convenience, Lifestyle, and Special Needs.

Through inbuilt AI and machine learning algorithms, KaHa smart wearables provide innovative consumer use cases and exciting user experiences, with the goal of personalizing and improving the

user’s everyday journey. Highlights include:

Virtual Runs - where users are able to run “anywhere” in the world for an immersive experience...

With the use of a Virtual Reality (VR) headset or large-screen TV, KaHa creates a realistic immersive running experience for users, including syncing the footage speed to the user’s pace for realism. Filmed footages of run trails, which can be forest paths or urban cities, can be uploaded and shared to increase the fun factor when compared with  conventional treadmill running.

Play on Pace technology incorporates smart wearable technology to track users’ running pace and synchronizes with their workout music to keep them motivated. Additional modes include pre-programming different paces and distances for training, and setting the music to stop to alert users when they are going out of pace.

Users can form a trusted Safety Network of friends, family and other social contacts and adding in  Guardians’ contacts, to enjoy a wide network of safety contacts, increasing the possibility of nearby help at any time. KaHa’s safety interface allows Guardians to easily spot and alert their own contacts nearest to the user for help during emergencies.

Digital Payment – “on-demand” payment features built with security in mind...

KaHa’s smart payment solution is built on-demand, where the user confirms payment after receiving the payment request e.g. by providing their phone number. The user receives the prompt on their wearable, and confirms the payment for security measures.

Stress Management - Through AI and deep pattern matching algorithm, the user’s lifestyle patterns and bio-data such as their metabolism are paired with the wearable’s stress alert features, helping the user be more aware of their wellness, e.g. to detect periods of heightened stress with guides for breathing exercises to regain their composure.

Smart Home - AI-based identification algorithms and proximity algorithms learn and automate the smart home experience without any input from the user itself...

Deploying AI-based identification algorithms to identify the homeowner and their wearable devices and combined with geo-location/proximity algorithms, KaHa personalizes one’s abode by learning and automating various living conditions such as air conditioning, lighting, favourite TV and radio channels. The same technology helps conserve power and energy when the homeowner is not present.

Hybrid smart watches and jewellery which brings together the best of traditional watches with hidden digital functionality...

"We use technology to help consumers in their everyday lives, and ultimately redefine the consumer experience and journey. Our AI and Machine Learning-led products will make wearables truly smart,

provide personalized experience, and are easily adopted by fashion and luxury brands to suit their consumers’ tastes."

--- Pawan Gandhi, CEO and founder of KaHa ---

Sony Launches Home Cinema Projectors For That Immersive 4K HDR Viewing Experience

Sony today announced the expansion of its ultra short throw home theatre line-up with the introduction of the VPL-VZ1000ES 4K HDR home theatre projector, designed to integrate easily into people’s homes. Sony’s latest innovative laser light source projector is High Dynamic Range (HDR) compatible with native 4K resolution. It can be positioned as little as six inches away from the wall, yet command the room with a 254cm (100 inch) image, measured diagonally in 16:9.

The VPL-VZ1000ES is approximately 925 x 494 x 219mm in size. Despite its compact size and lower price, the VPL-VZ1000ES generates 2,500 lumens of colour light output. Sony's advanced SXRD panels, coupled with the Z-Phosphor laser light engine, produce high dynamic contrast, enhancing the highlights and lowlights of HDR content.

"Up until now home cinema enthusiasts have needed a dedicated room for watching projected content; this isn't always ideal, since not everyone has the luxury of extra space to accommodate an extra-large screen. The new VPL-VZ1000ES changes this dynamic completely, providing an enchanting home theatre experience up to 120" in your existing living space."

-- Riki Nishimura, GM,
Business & Industrial Solutions Marketing Division, Sony Electronics Asia Pacific ---

The VPL-VZ1000ES ultra short throw 4K HDR home theatre projector is available in Singapore now at a recommended retail price of S$28,000. For more information, visit Sony's Professional Solutions website at pro.sony-asia.com.

requires so little space that it fits easily into any compact space...

For those seeking a more immersive experience, Sony also launched its line-up of Home Cinema projectors with three new high-performance models that bring an immersive 4K HDR viewing experience to the home at IFA 2017.

• The versatile VPL-VW360ES with high dynamic contrast and adjustable function of image quality is suited for various types of viewing contents.
• The affordable VPL-VW260ES delivers immersive and authentic 4K HDR images with great value-to- cost performance.

All three new models deliver high-contrast, detail-packed images thanks to Sony’s cutting-edge native SXRD panel. This is combined with Reality Creation, an impressive resolution processing technology that uses a unique Sony algorithm to perfectly map pixels, for consistently crisp images. in addition to HDR10, which is the standard HDR format for UHD, the new projectors also support HLG for broadcast and online content.

The startling difference between SDR and HDR quality can be seen in the eyes of the marmoset...

The Reality Creation enhances the authenticity of the viewing experience...

The VPL-VW760ES produces stunning images, using a laser light source with 2,000 lumens for spectacular and long-lasting brightness. The technology ensures high-dynamic contrast with new light level control that adjusts to the brightness of the scene in real-time, so bright scenes appear more vivid and darker scenes have more depth. Because of its compact size with 496mm in depth which is 40% smaller than current laser light source model 1 , the projector is easily installed in a shelf or hang on the ceiling.

The versatile VPL-VW360ES allows viewers to experience the beauty of 4K HDR with 1,500 lumens of brightness. The model has additional features to reproduce even more realistic images including an Advanced Iris for 200,000:1 dynamic contrast and picture positioning memory to adjust to the aspect ratio of whatever content is being shown.

The VPL-VW260ES delivers a 4K HDR experience with high cost performance. The 1,500 lumens projector includes many of the features of the other two projectors, including a native 4K SXRD panel, Reality Creation and TRILUMINOS TM , so users get precise and clear images at a cost-effective price point.

AI Noise Cancelling constantly further analyses ambient sounds, automatically selecting the most effective noise cancelling mode to suit the current environment. Even with Bluetooth® and noise cancelling switched on, a huge 20-hour battery life offers plenty of stamina for that transcontinental trip – or just some valuable "me time" during a busy day.

Snug earpads effectively tune out most loud noises except for certain mid-level frequencies which seem amplified due to the effective cut-out of other levels...
