OPPO Unveils World’s First Ray Tracing 3D Wallpaper for Mobile at Game Developer Conference 2022

“As a technology pioneer, OPPO has always actively explored new opportunities to enrich the mobile experience for our users,” said Jane Tian, Head of the Graphics Product Management at the OPPO US Research Center. “The ability to take advantage of ray tracing technology across smartphone devices will bring about more realistic gameplay graphics, for more immersive and competitive gaming. Our 3D wallpaper will also serve as a starting point to using the technology to explore future applications in smart devices.”
Ray tracing is a graphics rendering technology that simulates the physical behavior of light and has been adopted on computers in the past. By adopting ray tracing technology, the 3D wallpapers can render light in real-time at usable frame rates, making shadows, reflections and refractions of objects displayed appear more vivid and life-like. It also provides users with the ability to interact with their wallpapers through a series of hand gestures including rotating, tapping and waving.

OPPO began developing its ray tracing technology early in 2018 and had initially adopted a hybrid rendering method to gradually introduce ray tracing to existing mobile devices. For the ColorOS Ray Tracing 3D Wallpaper, OPPO came up with a new approach to accelerate ray tracing performance by adopting hybrid architecture and dedicated hardware cores on the Find X5 Pro (Dimensity version), fully utilizing the potential of the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset and the Arm Mali GPU. The 3D wallpaper demoed at GDC 2022 is a testament to the company’s unrelenting effort to bring new technologies and creative experiences to mobile devices.
Later this year, OPPO will introduce the 3D wallpaper application as an APK to users of the Find X5 Pro (Dimensity version), as well as to global developers, artists, designers in an SDK package to help enable their creativity.

Through a digital tracking system, the entire delivery can be closely monitored in order to provide accurate and speedy same-day deliveries to patients. Patients can also access latest status updates and the information of the courier on the SFHK official website and mobile app to maintain communication during the deliveries.

We are gratified that we can provide this Medication Home Delivery service in collaboration with SFHK and local NGOs at this time to help those in need.”

“depa” Proudly Presents New Normal Market
The Digital Economy Promotion Agency (depa) organized “Transform Market Showcase 2022”, announcing its success on the ongoing project “Transform: New-normal Market” that equips SMEs, local shops, hawkers and stalls in 10 pilot provinces with digital technologies.
The campaign successfully hit its target, created access and online application platforms for sales and product distributions to over 30,000 sellers, generating an economic value of over 300 million baht. In addition, depa is now ready to move forwards in transforming the next 25 provinces to continue its process of driving Thailand to a full digital economy.

Mr. Newin Chochaiyathip, Vice Minister of Digital Economy and Society (MDES) said that the development of digital technology has taken a leap forward. It became an important factor that inevitably affected the way of life, economy and society, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic that urged us to stay resilient. MDES recognized that the most important resource needed to be accelerated and developed for Thailand was the “digital skills”. Therefore, the government did not only support public to gain an access to the internet but also had to ensure that everyone can benefit from it as well as grab the opportunities to expand their knowledge, outputs, jobs and networks in order to sustainably improve the quality of life in all aspects.

Dr. Nuttapon Nimmanphatcharin, President and CEO of depa, said that the “Transform Market Showcase 2022” aims at presenting an achievement of “Transform: New-normal Market” project that provides supports and motivates SMEs, shops, hawkers and stalls to apply digital technologies and innovations to improve their competitiveness in the market. The ongoing project started in September 2021 to March 2022 for the first 6 pilot provinces, including Bangkok, Nakhon Sawan, Nakhon Pathom, Chainat, Sing Buri and Lopburi and also raising public awareness in other 4 areas, namely Pathum Thani, Nonthaburi, Samut Sakhorn and Samut Prakan. The project also successfully encouraged over 30,050 local businesses to join the “Local Application” and sell their products online. Over 200,000 products from 300 local markets are traded in the platform, generating over 300 million baht.

Bangkok, Samut Prakan and Samut Sakhorn were the top 3 provinces that used digital technologies the most while the Flea Market, Fresh Market and Hawker/Stall were the top 3 market types that have applied technologies the most. The top 3 digital technologies are e–payment, Service and Delivery. The project also reported its successful trainings of 5 online courses via 4 platforms, including YouTube, Facebook Group, Classwin and Digital Skill. Since August 2021, these trainings have overseen more than 1.2 million participants.

“The “Transform: New-normal Market” project is encouraging local sellers to access and apply new digital technologies to their businesses. The campaign has started from selecting reliable Thai digital startups and providers in 6 technologies related to e-commerce, to offering online trainings, and to visiting on-site markets. This event aims at sharing the true potential of sellers after accessing to these digital technologies and presenting more market channels and market opportunities that would lead to a revolving mechanism for a greater country’s economic value. On the other hand, our participated digital startups and providers can also effectively access this current networks as well as are able to extend and develop their technologies in accordance with the consumer behavior in each area. We are all putting our efforts together to transform Thailand’s typical markets to the freshly new market model by taking an important role of a creator of cashless society together,” said depa President and CEO.
Dr. Nuttapon also added that depa would undergo its next phase to reach out to over 65,000 sellers as well as to create the digital prototype markets that would cover another 25 provinces, including Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Lampang, Lamphun, Nan, Udon Thani, Khon Kaen, Nakhon Ratchasima, Burirum, Maha Sarakham, Ayutthaya, Suphan Buri, Khanchanaburi, Phetchaburi, Prachuap Khiri Khan, Chachoengsao, Ratchaburi, Saraburi, Chonburi, Rayong, Phuket, Krabi, Surat Thani, Nakhon Si Thammarat and Trang. The continuation of the project is to ensure the strength of SMEs, shops, hawkers and stalls in applying online platforms for their sales and products delivery as well as to create the New Normal Market opportunities together by “changing all physical trades to online and moving all lifestyles to cashless society” in the near future. The campaign hopes to drive Thailand towards a strong sustainable digital economic era.

VP Bank, Hywin Wealth and WealthBriefingAsia shed light on Private Markets in Asia Pacific with new report
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 21 March 2022 – Rising allocation to alternatives has been an unstoppable trend in recent years, with more Asia Pacific (APAC) investors particularly seeking outperformance and diversification in private markets. Developed in collaboration with Hywin Wealth and WealthBriefingAsia, VP Bank launches “Why Wealth Managers Are The Ultimate Private Market Matchmakers”, a report that delves into the phenomenon of private markets investing in the region.
In a world beset by low yields and volatility in traditional asset classes, private markets are becoming increasingly attractive for APAC’s highly dynamic wealthy individuals – client allocations to private markets could even exceed 20% in the coming years.
However, with more options also come increased challenges and complexities. As such, through insights gathered from 69 wealth management advisors, end-client investors and private markets professionals in December 2021 and January 2022, this report seeks to shed light on the phenomenon of private markets investing in Asia Pacific, answering key questions surrounding the asset class and their opportunities for investors.
Strong demand for private market investment opportunities
Over three-quarters of respondents (77%) believe that current client demand for private market investment opportunities is strong or very strong, with investors turning towards the asset class as a means to achieve a wide range of goals.
The potential for outsized returns is seen as the strongest driver, with 50% of respondents citing this as the most important factor in driving demand, followed by achieving greater diversification (29%). However, interesting investment opportunities, the ability to participate in real innovation, and to a lesser extent, ESG aims, were all cited frequently as top three factors.
For many of the region’s ultra-wealthy, excitement and conviction are often key as such individuals seek to expand their knowledge by investing in something that is highly innovative and disruptive. Along with the dynamic entrepreneurialism that has defined APAC’s explosive wealth creation in recent decades, the report also found that APAC investors tend to be more meaningfully involved with their investments – aligned with private markets’ feature of offering better control than with a listed stock.
Who is the typical investor in private markets?
The typical private market investor in APAC was found to be younger than the average private client, likely male and a net worth of US$40m+ made through their own business ventures. However, the extensive range of responses gathered suggests that diverse interest needs to be catered for, with the industry offering various solutions for different client profiles. These profiles include potential female investors, as respondents also share that the demographic is becoming increasingly interested in private markets.
Investors from Mainland China and Hong Kong SAR are showing the greatest enthusiasm for private markets – this trend is aligned with the particularly strong belief in the story of entrepreneurship among Chinese clients – although those from Singapore, Australia and New Zealand are also very keen.
The route to high returns
With the burgeoning growth of wealth in APAC, clients have become generally more demanding than their Western counterparts when it comes to returns. Investors in the region have highly ambitious returns targets from their private market investments. Respondents say the majority (42%) expect a minimum 11-15% Internal Rate of Return (IRR), 16% target a 16-20% IRR and 14% target a 21-25% IRR.
In achieving such results, 36% of respondents believe that North America, the traditional epicentre of dynamic wealth creation, exerts the strongest pull for investors. However, Southeast Asia comes in as a strong second (33%), with China and North Asia not far behind (29%).
Technology continues to dominate
Technology dominates in terms of investor interest (62%), followed by healthcare/life sciences (21%), with a fifth of respondents also seeing investors favouring energy, infrastructure, consumer or other opportunities like education. This finding aligns with EY’s 2021 Global IPO Trends report, which found that globally, the technology sector saw the highest number of IPOs (611) for the sixth consecutive quarter since Q3 2020, raising the highest proceeds (US$147.5bn) for the seventh consecutive quarter since Q2 2020. While Covid may have accelerated these sectors’ growth, it is not the fundamental reason behind this heightened focus. Technology and healthcare are long-term themes transforming our daily lives.
Meanwhile, there is a strong preference for direct investments into private markets, with 67% in favour of the strategy compared to 33% citing collectives. However, although the former might be many investors’ ideal route, this may not always be practicable nor desirable from a risk management perspective – there are also many other strategies such as growth and venture capital that are proving to be popular.
Private markets see high demand, but what are the barriers?
While demand for private market opportunities has grown exponentially, there are undeniably several barriers which may prevent their interest from translating into actual investment. Lack of visibility over opportunities was cited as a key obstacle for end-clients by half of respondents. With that, it is crucial for relationship managers to present such opportunities – aligned with 19% of respondents believing that advisors’ reluctance to bring opportunities to the table is the biggest barrier to private markets investors face.
Aside from this, almost a quarter (24%) of respondents think that a lack of confidence or knowledge is the biggest factor holding investors back from making private market investments. Hottest sectors for these investments – particularly technology and healthcare/life sciences – are exceptionally fast-moving. Relationship and wealth managers that have significant research capabilities must then comprehensively inform end-investors to add value.
Paving the way for private market investments
Recognising the huge growth trajectory in private market investments, VP Bank had launched its ORBIT platform last year, combining traditional wealth management with the advantages of digital ecosystems. The platform redefines access to private markets for partners and participants, offering both direct and collective investment opportunities as well as related structuring services to professional investors which have typically been difficult to invest in until now.
In doing so, VP Bank is paving the way for greater growth in demand for this attractive asset class. “By some reports, in Asia alone there is around US$385bn of ‘dry powder’ waiting for deployment in private markets, and that statistic alone should have wealth managers sitting up and taking notice. We are proud to be leading on this front along with Hywin Wealth, not only for the benefit of our clients, but also for the growth prospects of the region too,” said Pamela Hsu Phua, Chief Executive Officer Asia, VP Bank.
Madame Wang Dian, Chief Executive Officer, Hywin Wealth, added, “The volatility and fluidity of the past few years combined with the potential to be involved with really interesting, innovative endeavours have created perfect conditions for private market investing to flourish in APAC. This study confirms what we have been hearing from our own clients, and validates our decision to invest in both expertise and products to cater to this esoteric area.”
“We are delighted to have partnered with Hywin Wealth and VP Bank to once again probe an important but perhaps neglected area of growth for the industry in APAC. Our research reach is global, but it is always particularly interesting to perform deep field work among clients in a particular region to really see what makes them tick. My conversations with clients tell me wealth managers in APAC need to really watch this space,” said Wendy Spires, Head of Research, WealthBriefingAsia.
