Acer Equips SpatialLabs Devs with More Tools on Sterioscopic 3D

Friday, May 26, 2023


Pronouncements from Acer proved quite positive especially for those who are involved in their SpatialLabs technology. It's pretty special as the drive to do things that don't need glasses, and fully utilize steroscopic 3D on Acer SpatialLabs Pro devices is getting prioritized. They equipped developers this time with unity plug in support to produce even more content that are of stereo 3D nature, this goes for content and app development. They certified OpenXR for SpatialLabs so they could use protocols for it.

They also used Acer's SteamVR Bridge in order to maximize it's full potential in using stereo 3D and VR.  Using the Unity Plug-in, they were able to also include creators in devs from a different niche like architecture, education, engineering, medicine and a lot more. They did this together with the Unreal plug-in that has been widely used in the past, making it faster to conceptualize programs with their new tools without the need for pricey glasses and equipment. They also used open standards in building systems for their hardware line, without the need of throwing out working applications, building on compatible solutions especially on OpenXR runtime, like those done in AutoDesk VRED 2023 and those made in Blender.

Acer's SteamVR Bridge driver on the other hand can have existing VR apps especially those that are involved in tours and educational information be converted using Acer's SpatialLabs Pro, you don't have to abuse the word immersive for the quality of images that gets produced even without the usual VR headsets they often have.

Visit them at Computex in Taipei, Taiwan on the 30th to June 2 to know more about it. Try on the new SpatialLabs Pro devices and see the difference first hand. Else, you can visit their official SpatialLabs Developer site at spatiallabs.acer.com/developer to know more about it!

Filipino Actor DINGDONG DANTES is POLICE LIFESTYLE's Global Brand Ambassador on its 40th Anniversary


God must have spent a little more time on Primetime King Dingdong Dantes when he made him. He's a very talented actor, host, Dad to Zia and Sixto and a loving husband to the queen Marian Rivera-Dantes. He's very passionate with sports, motorcycles, and just about any adrenaline inducing activity. He also does it with style, panache and swag without even trying to.


 

He's the perfect fit to represent Police Lifestyle. They have been in the industry for 40 years. Today, he's been hailed as the first and only Filipino brand ambassador together with British F1 Racer Lewis Hamilton. In fact, they've already graced a huge billboard in New York City's Times Square.  Executives from the brand graced the event yesterday at Ideal Vision and Watch Republic at SM Mall of Asia in Pasay City. 

To mark the special occasion, Mr. Dantes was awarded with a special edition POLICE 40th Anniversary Sunglasses with serial number 001. Their call is "AUDACITY WANTED", a term to describe their products and a man's ability to not just exude machismo, but to make it evolved and timeless.



Here are some highlights from the event and a few minutes of the interview that was facilitated by the fabulous Frank Briones, the President of Thinline Advertising. We also included a few minutes to showcase the watches and eyewear that was on display at Ideal Vision and Watch Republic. Dingdong Dantes also went to these stores to say hi to patrons, fans, and the staff. Man was able to spend time taking photos with them too. It was so gracious of him to do that despite his busy schedule.


For those who would want to see what POLICE LIFESTYLE has to offer, they update their Facebook page quite often so just search PoliceLifestyle on the platform. Dingdong also mentioned plans to be in Tokyo, Japan to appear together with other brand ambassadors of Police. Mr. Dantes will be in a few more materials, so stay tuned for that as well.

Congratulations Mr. Dingdong Dantes, you've done the country proud!

Pretty Secret and Jillian Ward Launch Mermaid Collection

Thursday, May 25, 2023

To say we can't get enough of JILLIAN WARD is going to be an understatement today as we get to be with her during her Meet and Greet event at Watsons The Block at SM North Edsa yesterday. It's for the launch of their collaboration with makeup brand Pretty Secret that's been taking the metro by storm, plus we did get to enjoy a movie of The Little Mermaid too afterwards, check out this video I prepared about the highlights of the event:

The theme for the occasion was Mermaids, and during the meet and greet, Jillian and the brand's fans used the make up and dressed up clad in the same colorway, it was really fun to see! Jillian was also asked much about her makeup process, she likes them colorful and bright hence the "Hello Sea! Mermaid" collection. There were also several things in the line that you'll really appreciate.

First is Jillian's favorite the Mermaid Eyeshadow Palette. It's got coral, turquoise, pink and mermaid shades on it which you can mix up for daily wear or special occasions. I like the Mermaid Eyelash Curler, with its specially designed mermaid tail as handles, you just know they took time designing it. There's also the Groom and Go Tinted Eyebrow Mascara with Free Spoolie that can get you a smooth, non sticky finish that also lasts long. Imagine the things you can do with it from office to date night. She also suggests the use of the Mermaid Powder Pact Foundation which can control oil, cover your blemishes and has got UV protection. These are just some of the things you can use for those who want to be #MadeToBeMermaid.





Make sure you visit WATSONS stores and SM Beauty sections as it will all be sold exclusively on these stores nationwide. Just go and ask for Pretty Secret, the pigment is bright you'll love it especially on those special days!

Congratulations Jillian! Hope there will be more products from Pretty Secret that you can showcase very soon!
