Inside the Computing Power Behind Spatial Filmmaking: Hugh Hou Goes Hands-On at GIGABYTE Suite During CES 2026

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At CES 2026, VR filmmaker and educator Hugh Hou led a live spatial computing demonstration inside the GIGABYTE suite, showing how immersive video is created in real production environments, not in theory or controlled lab conditions.

The session gave attendees a close look at a complete spatial filmmaking pipeline, from capture through post-production and final playback. Instead of relying on pre-rendered content, the workflow was executed live on the show floor, reflecting the same processes used in commercial XR projects and placing clear demands on system stability, performance consistency, and thermal reliability. The experience culminated with attendees viewing a two-minute spatial film trailer across Meta Quest, Apple Vision Pro, and the newly launched Galaxy XR headsets, alongside a 3D tablet display offering an additional 180-degree viewing option.

Where AI Fits Into Real Creative Workflows

AI was presented not as a feature highlight, but as a practical tool embedded into everyday editing tasks. During the demo, AI-assisted enhancement, tracking, and preview processes helped speed up iteration without interrupting creative flow.

Footage captured on cinema-grade immersive cameras moved through industry-standard software including Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve. AI-based upscaling, noise reduction, and detail refinement were applied to meet the visual requirements of immersive VR, where any artifact or softness becomes immediately noticeable across a 360-degree viewing environment.

Why Platform Design Matters for Spatial Computing

Supporting the entire workflow was a custom-built GIGABYTE AI PC designed specifically for sustained spatial video workloads. The system combined an AMD Ryzen™ 7 9800X3D processor with a Radeon™ AI PRO R9700 AI TOP GPU, providing the memory bandwidth and continuous AI performance required for real-time 8K spatial video playback and rendering. Equally critical, the X870E AORUS MASTER X3D ICE motherboard delivered stable power and signal integrity, allowing the workflow to run predictably throughout the live demonstration.

The experience concluded with attendees viewing a finished spatial film trailer across Meta Quest, Apple Vision Pro, and Galaxy XR devices.

By enabling a demanding spatial filmmaking workflow to operate live and repeatedly at CES, GIGABYTE demonstrated how platform-level system design turns complex immersive production into something creators can rely on, not just experiment with.

EQT’s mid-market portfolio includes, but is not limited to, CareNet and HRBrain in Japan, Compass Education in Australia, and WSO2 and Indium in India.

If any shareholder of the Company exercises their right to require the purchase of shares less than one unit as prescribed by the Japanese Companies Act, the Company may purchase its own shares during the Tender Offer period in accordance with applicable legal procedures.

All procedures relating to the Tender Offer will be conducted in the Japanese language. While some or all documents related to the Tender Offer may be prepared in English, the Japanese-language documents will prevail in the event of any discrepancies between the English and Japanese documents.

ATOTO CB7 Pro 301% Funded–Head‑Unit AI Console for Wireless CarPlay/Android Auto and Camera‑Smart Driving

SHENZHEN, China, Jan. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — ATOTO shared an update on CB7 Pro, its Head-Unit AI Console. It’s built on a simple philosophy: don’t replace the factory screen—give it new capabilities. CB7 Pro plugs into the USB port used for wired CarPlay or wired Android Auto, upgrades the head unit to wireless CarPlay and wireless Android Auto, adds a switchable Android 13 system, and expands the factory display into a more capable in‑car console with video, AI assistance, vehicle data integration, and entertainment options.

To put that idea in real drivers’ hands faster, ATOTO launched CB7 Pro with an Indiegogo‑first release, making early allocations available to customers who want to experience CB7 Pro sooner than broad retail rollout. ATOTO reports the campaign reached its funding goal within 46 hours, and as of January 21 has reached 301% of its funding goal.

So what makes CB7 Pro stand out—and why did it resonate so quickly with drivers? 

Visit the campaign page here for more details:
https://atotodirect.net/CB7Pro

CB7 Pro
CB7 Pro

Most vehicles don’t need a bigger screen. They need the screen they already have to feel modern again—without losing what OEM systems do well: clean integration, familiar controls, and audio behavior that “just works.” CB7 Pro is designed around that reality. It adds a richer environment when drivers want more flexibility than phone projection typically allows.

CB7 Pro’s most distinctive leap, however, is video—not as a single “camera feature,” but as a deliberate choice based on how people actually drive. CB7 Pro introduces a dual‑mode video architecture. A shared interface can be configured for one of two outcomes (mutually exclusive), so customers choose the mode they will rely on most.

In Wireless Video Input mode, pairing CB7 Pro with ATOTO’s WR2A wireless video system enables practical viewpoints on the factory screen without running video cables through the car—such as a wireless reverse view for everyday parking, a wireless front view (front plate camera) for curbs and close maneuvers, and a wireless rear‑hatch/cabin view depending on camera placement for quick situational checks.

In AHD DVR mode, CB7 Pro connects to a specified 1080p WDR camera for recording—and turns that DVR camera into something more than a dash cam. In this configuration, CB7 Pro is designed to support remote video calling and two‑way talk/intercom experiences using the DVR camera view (feature availability depends on configuration and software version). The difference versus a typical phone video call isn’t “another way to talk”—it’s the viewpoint: a mounted, stable, wide‑angle lens that can share what the camera sees. A family member can call in and, when it’s safe to answer (or when a passenger handles the screen), the in‑car user can share the road ahead—the scenery on a trip, weather on the route, or a moment worth showing—without fumbling with a handheld phone camera. when someone borrows the vehicle, where sharing a clear road/cabin view can communicate conditions faster than a shaky handheld call.

CB7 Pro also introduces an AI Vision roadmap built on cloud‑assisted photo analysis from the DVR camera feed. Example scenarios include recognizing road types such as mud, snow, or sand to surface context‑aware driving suggestions when relevant, and cabin‑view awareness designed for family comfort—such as checking on a rear‑seat baby or pet and offering gentle prompts in specific situations (one example: if rear passengers appear to be asleep, the system may suggest lowering audio volume). Additional AI Vision agents are planned for future software updates.

CB7P – HDMI & Camera Integration
CB7P – HDMI & Camera Integration

Beyond video, CB7 Pro is designed to feel like an “upgrade of the whole experience,” not just one feature. It includes AI assistance and car‑IoT functions intended to be useful day after day:

  •  DriveChat (powered by ChatGPT) brings voice interaction to the in‑car Android system—helping drivers launch apps, ask questions, and get online answers by voice (DriveChat controls CB7 Pro’s software environment, not the vehicle’s factory functions).
  •  CIoTHub + a compatible Bluetooth OBD‑II adapter enables vehicle data integration such as diagnostics and real‑time driving/vehicle data on the factory screen, turning the head unit into a more informative driving companion.
  •  TrackHU GPS Tracking adds practical security and family‑use tools such as real‑time location, trip/route history, and geofence alerts.
  •  AI ParkFinder is built for one of the most common “small stresses” in modern driving: forgetting exactly where you parked. It uses footage captured by the DVR camera during parking to record both the visual context and the location, making it easier to find the vehicle later via the SSHub app.

CB7 Pro also expands what the factory screen can do for passengers and parked moments, with entertainment and extension features designed around flexibility:

  •  HDMI Input/Output supports connecting external sources such as game consoles or media players, and projecting to a rear/headrest display for passengers.
  •  A stand‑alone Android system enables split‑screen multitasking and direct use of Google Play apps—helping users go beyond the limits of CarPlay/Android Auto when appropriate (for example, richer tools and passenger/parked entertainment).
  •  SSRadio is designed to keep listening effortless, with a wide selection of preloaded internet radio stations available out of the box, and cloud syncing that lets users discover and add favorite stations from around the world.
  •  SSFrame brings a more human, calm cockpit feel when the system is idle by syncing photos from the cloud and displaying them as a screensaver—ideal for family moments and travel memories while parked.

ATOTO emphasizes responsible use: camera views and video features are intended for passengers or when parked where legal. Drivers should remain focused on the road and comply with local regulations. Remote calling and AI Vision depend on the AHD DVR camera configuration, connectivity, and software version. Wireless Video Input mode and AHD DVR mode are mutually exclusive, as they share the same interface; customers choose the mode that best fits their priorities.

Availability

ATOTO CB7 Pro is available now on Indiegogo. Visit the campaign page here for more details:
https://atotodirect.net/CB7Pro

Following the crowdfunding campaign, CB7 Pro is planned to be offered through additional sales channels, including ATOTO’s official website and major e-commerce platforms such as Amazon.

A Year in Review: Initial Listings Are Not Accidental, but Strategic

According to HTX’s annual report, the exchange added 166 cryptocurrencies throughout 2025. HTX’s asset strategy has consistently focused on projects with strong narrative momentum, community resonance, and long-term value potential. In 2025, this translated into multiple high-impact initial listings, including PIPPIN (95x), DONKEY (69x), M (42x), and TRUMP (10x). 


Through partnerships with premium projects and sustained focus on initial listings, HTX repeatedly positioned itself as a market front-runner. Many assets first listed on HTX were later adopted by major exchanges, allowing HTX users to benefit not only from lower entry prices, but also from cross-platform valuation premiums.

1. Macro Narratives: Early Positioning Before Consensus Forms

In 2025, political narratives entered the crypto market at scale for the first time, and HTX led decisively.

In January, HTX became the first exchange globally to list TRUMP, officially announced by Donald Trump himself on Truth Social as the “official memecoin.” The listing ignited market sentiment, with the token reaching a 10x peak gain, making it one of the most traded and widely accepted assets of the year.

In May, HTX again led the market by initially listing USD1, a USD-pegged stablecoin issued by World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a Trump-family-affiliated project. In September, the project’s governance token WLFI debuted on HTX, becoming the first major exchange to systematically support this emerging political-finance ecosystem.

2. Community Sentiment and Ecosystem Cycle: Capturing the BSC and CZ Narrative

In March, riding the Middle Eastern capital inflows into Binance, HTX listed TST and MUBARAK, both of which doubled shortly after launch. In July, M emerged as one of the strongest BSC assets of the year with a 42x gain. In October, GIGGLE debuted on HTX with a 4x gain. The power of HTX’s initial listings once again speaks for itself.

During the same period, HTX became the first centralized exchange to support Chinese-language memecoins for spot trading, launching “Binance Life”.

3. Forward-Looking Narratives: Early Coverage over AI Agent, DeFAI, and Payment Sectors

HTX positioned itself ahead of the explosion in AI Agent and DeFAI narratives. PIPPIN, listed in January, achieved a 95x peak increase by November, becoming one of the most representative wealth-creation assets in the AI Agent sector. 

Furthermore, HTX has taken the lead in listing assets that fully cover the emerging x402 sector. By being the first to list the Base leader project PING and the Solana-based x402 leader PAYAI, HTX witnessed a phased doubling in the assets’ value following Coinbase’s launch of the x402 V2. Consequently, HTX has become the sole trading platform to support the core assets of this specific track.

4. Long-Term Focus on Value: Perpetual DEX Infrastructure

Beyond high-heat narratives, HTX maintained a strategic focus on infrastructure-driven, application-oriented sectors.

In September, as perpetual DEXs gained market traction, HTX moved swiftly to secure early exposure. ASTER, the native token of the benchmark BSC-based Perp DEX, rose 3x on HTX before being listed on Binance Spot within one week. AVNT, a key Base ecosystem project, delivered a 14x return after listing on HTX.

Outlook 2026: Tapping Value-Driven Assets and Doubling Down on Initial Listings

As institutional capital increasingly shapes market structure and the industry matures, HTX will further reinforce its strategy of value reversion and early discovery of high-potential assets. Going forward, HTX will prioritize assets with verifiable revenue streams, regulatory clarity, and sustainable business models. Conversely, high-FDV, low-circulation VC tokens, as well as purely sentiment-driven memecoins without real use cases, will face the strictest listing standards in HTX’s history, ensuring the utmost protection for users’ assets.

Shifting decisively from traffic-driven listings to value-driven selection, HTX will anchor its strategy around three core criteria: real revenue backing, strong compliance foundations, and sustainable models. Based on these principles, HTX will focus on four high-conviction sectors: RWA and tokenized real-world assets; prediction markets; revenue-verifiable perpetual DEXs and derivatives infrastructure; and mobile-first PayFi solutions and super DApps.

HTX, highlighting longtermism, is building a secure, transparent, and self-sustaining asset ecosystem, positioning itself as a reliable global platform for value discovery.
