Location Kit is a leading position in the industry with its high precision, low power consumption, and indoor and outdoor supporting. Applications integrated with Location Kit rely on the super GNSS technology and pseudo-range 3D model and shadow matching (SDM). This feature provides high-precision positioning capabilities, enabling applications to accurately identify roadsides where users are located. Even in urban canyons, this feature is easy to ride. This function has been tested in 23 cities around the world, including Singapore, Bangkok, Malaysia, Beijing, and Dubai.
In Singapore, ComfortDelGro, a local travel industry integration case, is integrated with the Map Kit and Location Kit of HMS Core. The average weekly download volume increases by 5 times and the industry competitiveness increases by 14%, demonstrating the huge potential of HMS Core.
The lab visit was held in Singapore's DigiX Lab. The lab was divided into 18 screens on mobile phones, TVs, and tablets. Melissa and DTSE of the Asia Pacific Cloud Service Operation Dept based on the topics that developers are concerned about, presented core functions of HMS Core, demos and related solutions focusing on AI, AR, Game Service, Location Site, and Map Kit, and content related to AppGallery Operation & Marketing Support, , attracting great interest from participants.
As the last Huawei Developer Day in Singapore in 2020, more than 40% guests wanted to know more about HMS, and more than 35% expressed interest in monetization.
In Asia and the Pacific region, over 20 guild events were held in 2020 to promote long-tail developers, effectively enriching and improving the HMS ecosystem. In 2021, we will continue to focus on topics that developers are concerned about, fully leverage new capabilities and technical advantages of HMS Core, and deepen the HMS ecosystem construction to improve user experience.
Seems great. Expect it will be launched in more regions.
HMS Core made a show of its major tech advancements and industry-specific solutions during the HUAWEI DEVELOPER CONFERENCE 2022 (Together), an annual tech jamboree aimed at developers that kicked off at Songshan Lake in Dongguan, Guangdong.
As the world becomes more and more digitalized, Huawei hopes to work with developers to offer technology that benefits all. This is echoed by HMS Core through its unique and innovative services spanning different fields.
In the media field, HMS Core has injected AI into its services, of which Video Editor Kit is one example. This kit is built upon MindSpore (an algorithm framework developed by Huawei) and is loaded with AI-empowered, fun-to-use functions such as highlight, which can extract a segment from the input video, according to a specified duration. Not only that, the power consumption of this kit is cut by 10%.
Alongside developer-oriented services, HMS Core also showcased its user-oriented tools, such as Petal Clip. This HDR Vivid-supported video editing tool delivers a fresh user experience, offering a wealth of functions for easy editing of video.
HMS Core has also updated its services for the graphics field: 3D Modeling Kit debuted auto rigging this year. This function lets users generate a 3D model of a biped humanoid object simply by taking photos with a standard mobile phone camera, and then simultaneously performs rigging and skin weight generation, lowering the modeling threshold.
3D Modeling Kit is particularly useful in e-commerce scenarios. Bilibili merchandise (online market provided by the video streaming and sharing platform Bilibili) has planned to use auto rigging to display products (like action figures) through 3D models. In this way, a more immersive shopping experience can be created. A 3D model generated with the help of 3D Modeling Kit lets users manipulate a product to check it from all angles. Interaction with such a 3D product model not only improves user experience but also boosts the conversion rate.
