LAS VEGAS, Jan. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — At CES 2025, Rokid made waves in global AR scene, showcasing a suite of groundbreaking products, including Rokid Glasses, Rokid AR Spatial, and advanced business solutions for smart tours, reaffirming its leadership in the AR industry. Following this, on January 19, the Spatial Joy 2024 Global AR Application Development Championship successfully concluded its highly anticipated finals in Hefei, China once again demonstrating Rokid’s commitment to driving innovation in augmented reality on the global stage.

The highly competitive championship brought together the world’s top AR developers, featuring a prize pool of 1.1 million RMB. Over four months, more than 200 teams from across the globe registered, making this the largest AR application development competition in history. The projects covered a wide range of sectors, including education, healthcare, gaming, entertainment, and industry, showcasing the vast potential and versatility of AR technology in diverse real-world applications. Entries were meticulously evaluated based on creativity, practicality, and technical execution. Among the standout winners were “MechaWarzone” and “AR Shadow Puppet: Wu Song Fights the Tiger,” which clinched the Gold Award in the Social Category, and “Thorbeat” and “Wu Shi Wu Ke,” which took home the Gold Award in the Campus Category. “Alaya Meditation,” “Xun Xun Mi Mi,” and “Fruit Slicer” were recognized with the prestigious CEO Special Award.

Max Wang, CEO of ZOOM GAMES, the creator of the Gold Award-winning “AR Shadow Puppet: Wu Song Fights the Tiger,” shared his experience with Rokid. “We have been using Rokid devices for three years. The launch of Rokid’s 6DoF device impressed us with its compact spatial computing capabilities and exceptional display quality, inspiring us to develop new applications and games. In 2023, we introduced the AR version of PixelHack, our first official project with Rokid, which received an enthusiastic response. By 2024, our deeper understanding of the device led us to create an AR shadow play experience to showcase its full potential.”

A tech enthusiast from Shanghai shared, “I’ve been following AR technology’s development closely, and I came to Hefei specifically to experience Spatial Joy 2024. Rokid’s products are truly remarkable, and these AR applications have given me a glimpse into what the future of life could look like.” An overseas visitor added, “This is my first time experiencing AR technology, and it’s absolutely amazing!

Rokid’s innovation also extends to industrial applications, where it is making significant strides.

TURFAN, China, Jan. 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On January 23, the successful grid connection of the Xiaocaohu region’s 805,000 kW wind power project brought the total installed capacity of wind power in the Turfan power network to 3.06 million kW. This milestone is expected to result in an annual electricity generation exceeding 6 billion KWH for the first time, making it the largest power supply within the Turfan power grid.

In recent years, leveraging its abundant wind resources, Turfan has installed a total of 20 million kilowatts of new energy capacity. This has attracted numerous wind power projects and introduced wind power equipment manufacturing enterprises capable of producing key components such as wind turbines, tower barrels, blades, and nacelle covers. Additionally, a 240,000 kW energy storage power station has been constructed to support these initiatives. Consequently, an initial industrial chain encompassing wind power equipment production, wind power generation, consumption, and energy storage has been established.

To promote the development of the wind power industry, State Grid Turfan Power Supply Company has implemented comprehensive measures including full-service support for wind power equipment enterprises applying for electricity demands, promoting green electricity and green certificate trading, enhancing the utilization rate of wind power, expanding the clean energy market, and boosting wind power consumption. These efforts have effectively facilitated the transformation of the energy consumption structure.

By the end of 2025, it is anticipated that Turfan will add an additional 2.25 million kilowatts of wind power installed capacity, bringing the total to 5.31 million kilowatts, accounting for 38.3% of the total installed power capacity. The wind power utilization rate is expected to remain above 94%, with energy storage capacity reaching 275,000 kilowatts, further advancing the region’s green and low-carbon energy transition.

Shandong Cancer Hospital and Institute was the first hospital in China to receive the new Tomo C System which has already demonstrated its value by expanding clinical capabilities and the opportunity to offer potentially curative treatment to more people diagnosed with cancer. This first cohort of Tomo C System treatments also represent a milestone for Accuray which is focused on addressing the broad needs of the underserved Chinese radiation therapy market.

The number of new cancer cases in China is anticipated to increase by almost 47 percent in the coming years with about 7.1 million people expected to be diagnosed in 2045, compared to an estimated 4.8 million people in 2022¹. The data reinforces the importance of advanced radiotherapy technology that enables the precise treatment of the full spectrum of cancer cases clinical teams see in their practice.

“We are proud to support the Shandong Cancer Hospital and Institute team as they enhance their cancer treatment options with the new Tomo C System. I am pleased that a wide range of cancer types were successfully treated among these 100 patients and that the fast speed of treatment is expected to meaningfully increase capacity – enabling them to treat more patients per day,” said Suzanne Winter, president and CEO of Accuray.

Continued Ms. Winter, “The system was developed to enable more clinicians in China to offer fast, effective, personalized cancer care to their patients. Its introduction expands our product portfolio in this important region and reinforces our commitment to providing our customers with the tools they need to offer the best care possible to any patient they believe would benefit from radiotherapy.”

Shandong Cancer Hospital and Institute, founded in 1958, is a top center for cancer care, research, and prevention in China. Serving over 400,000 patients annually, it offers advanced treatments and collaborates with global leaders such as MD Anderson Cancer Center in the United States. The hospital is committed to innovation and excellence in cancer treatment.

“The introduction of the Tomo C Radiation Treatment Delivery System, based on the helical TomoTherapy^® platform, is a significant milestone in advancing precision radiotherapy for cancer patients,” said Prof. Yu, President of Shandong Cancer Hospital. “The TomoTherapy platform has already demonstrated its transformative impact on cancer treatment. With the Tomo C System we can treat an average of 95 patient treatment fractions per day, enabling our team to provide innovative and effective care for more patients and reaffirming our commitment to the “Healthy China Initiative.” This achievement sets a new benchmark for cancer care, propelling our efforts to the next level.”
