UNESCO recommends DingTalk to the world

News in Brief: In view of the tense situation of the global COVID-19, many countries and regions have suspended classes. UNESCO urgently calls on 421 million students in 39 countries and regions around the world to take classes remotely, and DingTalk has become the first home-based learning platform recommended by the United Nations.

Mr. Gangtie said: We live in the same world and we have the same DingTalk. We are all “sons of DingTalk”. As a Chinese local APP application going global, it has brought convenience to more than 400 million students around the world. This is something to be happy about. But for students, I am afraid they may not be so happy. Whether it will usher in a global one-star warning, we will have to wait and see.

Qingfeng Times launches 3D printed masks

News in Brief: Recently, LuxCreo, a 3D printing scale service provider, has developed a high-performance protective mask equipped with a 3D elastic skeleton keel .

The mask took only 48 hours from concept design to finished product . The special thing about it is that the three-dimensional lattice structure can reduce the leakage rate of the mask; the soft EM material can reduce the pressure on the face, suitable for long-term wear, and can adapt to different face shapes and sizes of users through shape changes. The mask has reached or exceeded the KN95 standard in the test and is being put on the market.

Gangtie said: Previously, many frontline doctors and nurses posted photos of marks on their faces after wearing masks for a whole day. This is because the current international N95 masks do not conform to the facial features of Asians. This 3D printed mask that adapts to different face shapes can solve this problem very well.

Gangtie said: At the beginning of this month, SpaceX conducted its first unmanned test launch of the manned version of the Dragon spacecraft (Dragon 2). According to the plan, the spacecraft will dock with the International Space Station 24 hours after launch, and will detach from the space station and return to Earth 5 days later. Perhaps this manned space flight will really be successful.

iPhone 12 may be equipped with 3D depth lens for the first time

News in Brief : Apple has hired San Jose-based Lumentum to supply the VCSEL lasers that will power at least one new iPhone this year with a rear-facing 3D depth-sensing lens, according to a report.

This 3D camera is called World Facing, which can measure the distance between the phone and the subject by emitting light , bringing new photo and video effects. The portrait function will have the opportunity to make in-depth use of the 3D lens to bring better background blur effects, and even allow users to manually adjust the degree and range of blur. In addition, it can also improve the AR experience.

Gangtie said: Apple is not the first company to add a rear 3D depth lens to its mobile phone. Samsung's Galaxy Note 10+ and other Android phone manufacturers have already added 3D depth lenses to the rear combination. How to discover new selling points is a question that Apple needs to think about now.
