Hyperconnect launches SLIDE : a new global project in North America
Hyperconnect has officially launched ‘SLIDE’, a video-first dating and social discovery app with plans to roll-out in select markets. As online social discovery channels continue to grow rapidly in the era of COVID-19, SLIDE is making waves. After a year of development, SLIDE is now available in North America, enabling users to express themselves three-dimensionally and vividly through a video-based dating experience. Slide is the product of a multinational development effort, involving resources across Hyperconnect’s global workforce. With SLIDE, Hyperconnect is introducing its third major offering in the ever-expanding social discovery app market. According to App Annie, a mobile app research provider, the total global social discovery market is valued at approximately 100 trillion Korean won — of which dating alone accounts for over 6 trillion won. “Large players in the global social discovery and dating app markets are still text and image-based, but we’re confident that video will soon replace these antiquated communication mechanisms. SLIDE, which focuses on instant video communication, will set a new milestone in the online dating market” says a Hyperconnect representative. Through video-based profiles, AI-driven matching tools and a real time video “Vibe Check” feature, SLIDE enables users to effectively find, match and ‘test the waters’ with others in a transparent, efficient, and fun way. Users can input a variety of tastes and interests, which are shared easily through a wide variety of profile prompts. Taking cues from explosively popular short-form video apps like TikTok, users can also browse short videos of potential matches. SLIDE makes use of Hyperconnect’s WebRTC technology, first employed in the real-time video chat app Azar, which has recorded over 500 million downloads globally. In SLIDE, ultra-low latency WebRTC video technology enables not only fast-rendering video profiles, but also reliable and exciting real-time video interaction. The first-of-its-kind “SLIDE AI” feature — which allows users to select several profiles to analyze and generate their ideal match, and then customizes matches based on that ideal — is built on Hyperconnect’s world-class artificial intelligence (AI) technology. In addition to Azar and Hakuna Live, a global social live streaming platform, Hyperconnect is developing 'AI Human’ technology, which will combine an artificial intelligence “brain” with a graphic augmented reality “body” to create a virtual person that can see, hear, and speak naturally. Eventually, Hyperconnect expects to deploy this technology to SLIDE, enabling social interaction in ways previously unimaginable. “SLIDE is a new category of app in the field of video communication and artificial intelligence — an impressive product of Hyperconnect’s know-how in the arena of social communication. As we expand globally, we’ll continue to uphold our reputation for innovation so that users around the world can experience the joy of connection and companionship,” says JungHoon “JH” Kim, Hyperconnect’s Chief Business Officer, Hyperconnect( https://hyperconnect.com/en ), based in Seoul, South Korea, is globally recognized for its advancements in the world of artificial intelligence, particularly its development of a proprietary “on-device” AI engine. A next-generation deep learning technology that runs directly on mobile devices, Hyperconnect’s on-device AI drives powerful in-app capabilities without data ever leaving the device, mitigating data leakage and privacy issues while enabling groundbreaking outcomes across video, image, voice, and text. Hyperconnect was the world’s first company to commercialize “WebRTC” technology in a mobile environment, first launching ‘Azar’ in 2014, ‘Hakuna Live’ in 2019 and social discovery dating app 'SLIDE' in 2020. Hyperconnect’s accolades also include its real-time voice translation technology, ultimately published and adopted in 2019 and 2020 at INTERSPEECH, the International Society for Speech Language Processing. Hyperconnect was the first Korean company to win the CVPR 2018 International Low-Power Image-Type Competition (LPIRC)

Hyundai Motor Company and INEOS to Cooperate on Driving Hydrogen Economy Forward
Hyundai Motor Company and INEOS today announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding to explore new opportunities to accelerate the global hydrogen economy. Hyundai and INEOS will jointly investigate opportunities for the production and supply of hydrogen as well as the worldwide deployment of hydrogen applications and technologies. Both companies will initially seek to facilitate public and private sector projects focused on the development of a hydrogen value chain in Europe. The agreement also includes the evaluation of Hyundai’s proprietary fuel cell system for the recently announced INEOS Grenadier 4x4 vehicle. This cooperation represents an important step in INEOS’ efforts to diversify its powertrain options at an early stage. Hyundai’s proprietary modular fuel cell system, which evaluation vehicles will use, has already proven reliable and effective in the Hyundai NEXO SUV. The world’s first dedicated hydrogen-powered SUV has the longest driving range among hydrogen-powered vehicles in the market. Hyundai is one of leading company in the field of fuel cell technology having started the world’s first mass production of fuel cell electric vehicles in 2013. “INEOS’ move into the development of a fuel cell electric vehicle and hydrogen ecosystem marks yet another milestone towards sustainable and clean transportation,” said Saehoon Kim, Senior Vice President and Head of Fuel Cell Center at Hyundai Motor Company. “Hyundai believes this will provide an important low-carbon option across a wide range of sectors. We also hope our decades-long expertise in hydrogen fuel cell work in synergy with INEOS’ expertise in field of chemistry to realize the mass production of green hydrogen and fuel cells for the Grenadier.” Peter Williams Technology Director INEOS, said, “The agreement between INEOS and Hyundai presents both companies with new opportunities to extend a leading role in the clean hydrogen economy. Evaluating new production processes, technology and applications, combined with our existing capabilities puts us in a unique position to meet emerging demand for affordable, low-carbon energy sources and the needs of demanding 4x4 owners in the future.” INEOS recently launched a new business to develop and build clean hydrogen capacity across Europe in support of the drive towards a zero-carbon future. The company currently produces 300,000 tons of hydrogen a year mainly as a by-product from its chemical manufacturing operations. Through its subsidiary INOVYN, INEOS is Europe’s largest existing operator of electrolysis, the critical technology that uses renewable energy to produce hydrogen for power generation, transportation and industrial use. Its experience in storage and handling of hydrogen combined with its established know-how in electrolysis technology, puts INEOS in a unique position to drive progress towards a carbon-free future based on hydrogen. In 2018, Hyundai Motor Group announced its mid- to long-term roadmap, Fuel Cell Vision 2030, to increase annual production of hydrogen fuel cell systems to 700,000 units by 2030.
