Celebrating National Day through Showcasing Robust AI Capabilities

Bringing an Immersive Sci-Fi Experience Based on the “Three Body Problem” to Hong Kong for the First Time

Part of the “Glorious Voyage: Splendid Achievements of the People’s Republic of China in Its 75 Years”

HONG KONG, Oct. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — To celebrate the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China (PRC), the Leisure and Cultural Services Department presents the “Glorious Voyage: Splendid Achievements of the People’s Republic of China in Its 75 Years” exhibition series and SenseTime collaborated with the Hong Kong Science Museum to organise the “Era of Intelligence” exhibition. SenseTime presents its innovative artificial intelligence (AI) technology at the exhibition, where it introduces the “Gravitational Battlefield” experience for the first time in Hong Kong. Based on SenseTime’s immersive experience project “The Three-Body Problem: Beyond Gravity” science fiction (sci-fi) immersive experience, “Gravitational Battlefield” is an innovative and interactive game that integrates AI and mixed reality (MR).

The “Era of Intelligence” exhibition allows visitors to embark on AI’s rapid advancement journey over the years, and how it is intrinsically interwoven with Chinese culture. Spanning about 3,000 square feet, SenseTime showcases a range of innovative AI technologies and applications that are integrated into our daily lives.

A key attraction is SenseTime’s ground-breaking immersive MR-powered game “Gravitational Battlefield”, which is based on the sci-fi epic “The Three-Body Problem” by Chinese author Liu Cixin, providing visitors with an innovative and interactive experience.

“Gravitational Battlefield” has been well-received when it was launched earlier in mainland China, and the game’s format has been elevated especially for the Hong Kong exhibition. Leveraging both AI and MR technologies, the game can broadcast and generate summaries of players’ performance and rankings in real time. Up to six players can take part as crew members in each game to embark on the mission where the “Gravity” spaceship pursuing the “Blue Space” spaceship. The interstellar contest between the two crews would take players on a trip that blends real world and sci-fi scenarios, allowing them to appreciate the unique appeal where science fiction and technology intersect.

“The Three-Body Problem: Beyond Gravity” is an immersive in-person gaming experience jointly developed by SenseTime and the copyright owner of “The Three-Body Problem.” It was unveiled in Shanghai in April 2023 and had a 6-month pop-up experience store in Hangzhou in December the same year. Through the entire experience, including “Gravitational Battlefield”, the riveting storyline of “The Three-Body Problem” was brought to life, captivating audiences with a blend of diverse art forms and technology.

In the exhibition, SenseTime will also feature a range of achievements in AI research and development, including large model, machine learning, and how these technologies can be merged with Chinese culture to create unique artistic and practical applications. Among them, the SenseRobot Go and SenseRobot Chinese Chess leverage deep learning and self-training methods to play expert-level chess games. With SenseMirage, visitors will experience first-hand the robust capabilities of AI technology in text-generated images. The exhibition will also display large-scale paintings donated to SenseTime by Professor Qiu Zhijie of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, which explore the intricate relationship between technological advancement and human society. The “River of AI” painting that links history, technology, algorithms, and AI applications together will let visitors understand and experience the evolution of AI.

Dr. Xu Li, Chairman of the Board and CEO of SenseTime, said, “As SenseTime stands on the cusp of its 10th anniversary, it is especially meaningful for us to be part of the ‘Glorious Voyage: Splendid Achievements of the People’s Republic of China in Its 75 Years’ exhibition series. As the sole enterprise partner of the “Era of Intelligence” exhibition, we believe that our exhibits will not only let visitors appreciate China’s all-rounded development over the past 75 years, but also represents the journey we took over the past decade to create innovative AI solutions for a better tomorrow. Since our founding in Hong Kong 10 years ago, we have been committed to accelerating the research and development of AI technologies that bring practical benefits to the whole-of-society. As we look ahead to the next decade, we will continue to challenge ourselves as we strive to continue leading the ecosystem in co-creating more cutting-edge AI technologies that bring about greater social good in Hong Kong and beyond.”

Top lines:

Next-generation EcoFlow OCEAN 2 Plus Single-Phase system unveiled, designed for a new era of scalable, whole-home energy, supporting up to 12kw AC outputStorage capacity expandable up to 300 kWh, with 10,000 cell-cycle battery lifespanEngineered for faster installation and lower ongoing energy lossAdvanced solar optimisation with triple MPPT architecture for complex UK rooftopsExclusive preview of upcoming OCEAN 2 products and EcoFlow STREAM technology at the event

BIRMINGHAM, United Kingdom, April 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — EcoFlow is set to unveil OCEAN 2 Plus, its next-generation home battery system, at Solar & Storage Live London 2026, taking place at ExCeL London from 29–30 April.

Positioned at the intersection of performance, scalability and intelligent energy management, OCEAN 2 represents a significant step forward for residential energy systems in the UK – designed not just to meet today’s demand, but to evolve alongside it. As the market shifts towards more flexible, decentralised energy models, EcoFlow is delivering systems that scale from everyday households through to high-demand, fully electrified homes.

At the event, EcoFlow will also offer attendees an exclusive first look at upcoming additions to the OCEAN 2 series, alongside a showcase of its STREAM technology, reflecting growing momentum behind small-scale and emerging solar solutions in the UK.

EcoFlow OCEAN 2 Plus Single-Phase has been designed with long-term flexibility at its core. A single system can start small and expand over time, supporting up to 300 kWh of storage capacity when configured in parallel. This enables the system to move beyond traditional residential use cases, supporting larger homes with electric vehicles, heat pumps, and increasing electrification demands. With a 10,000-cycle battery lifespan, the system is built to deliver consistent performance and savings over many years of operation.

Performance has also been optimised for real-world UK conditions. With three independent MPPTs, OCEAN 2 is able to maximise solar generation across rooftops with multiple orientations or partial shading, ensuring more consistent energy capture throughout the day. Each string supports high input capacity, enabling installers to design more efficient, higher-yield systems without compromise.

Efficiency extends beyond generation. OCEAN 2 has been engineered to minimise its own energy consumption, operating at just 50W during light-load discharge. While often overlooked, this reduction in baseline energy use contributes to meaningful long-term savings, with estimated lifetime energy savings reaching up to 6,000 kWh over a 15-year period.

Installation has been streamlined throughout. With a compact form factor, integrated components and reduced on-site complexity, OCEAN 2 is designed to save time at every stage, from handling and positioning through to commissioning. At 46kg per battery pack, and with support for both indoor and outdoor installation, the system provides practical flexibility for installers working across a wide range of property types.

Whole-home backup functionality is built in as standard, with seamless switching designed to maintain power continuity across essential systems. This is complemented by a multi-layered safety architecture, combining both passive and active protection mechanisms across the battery system, alongside a 15-year warranty designed to support long-term peace of mind.

At the system level, OCEAN 2 integrates into EcoFlow’s wider Home Energy Ecosystem, connecting solar generation, storage, and smart home technologies into a single intelligent platform. Through its Home Energy Management System, the system can automatically optimise when to store and use energy based on demand and dynamic electricity tariffs, helping households reduce reliance on the grid while improving overall energy efficiency.

Craig Bilboe, Head of Residential UK&ANZ for EcoFlow said:

“UK homes are changing quickly. We’re seeing more electric vehicles, more heat pumps, and more people wanting to use their own solar more effectively. OCEAN 2 Plus Single-Phase has been built for that reality. It gives installers a system that’s quicker to work with, and gives households the ability to store more, use more, and expand over time without replacing what they already have. Alongside that, technologies like STREAM are opening the door for people who want to start smaller, making solar more accessible in a way we haven’t really seen in the UK before.”

Visitors to the EcoFlow stand will be able to experience live demonstrations of OCEAN 2 Plus Single-Phase, explore upcoming product developments, and speak directly with EcoFlow’s technical and commercial teams.

Loftie Launches Loftie+ Habit System to Help People Put Their Phones Down

Published

on

By

LONDON, April 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Loftie, maker of the award-winning alarm clock that replaces the smartphone on the nightstand, today launches Loftie+ — a behaviour-change system built to change habits, not track data.

Over half of UK and Irish adults stay up later than planned because of their phones — rising to 73% of 18- to 24-year-olds in the UK (Deloitte, 2024). The sleep industry’s answer: sell people a tracker and a score.

“The sleep industry is obsessed with measurement,” said Matt Hassett, founder and CEO of Loftie. “People are staring at a dozen numbers every morning trying to figure out why they feel terrible — while the phone that’s wrecking their sleep is the same device giving them the score. We’re not interested in adding more data. We’re interested in helping you put the phone down.”

Loftie+ is a mobile app (£9.99/€9.99 monthly or £59.99/€59.99 yearly) that works on its own — no Loftie hardware required. It combines nightly app blocking, daytime focus tools, and screen-time challenges, plus a credit card-sized Loftie Card for your wallet and a free browser extension.

At night: the app schedules blocking around sleep in three phases — Relax, Sleep, and Rise — guiding users from wind-down to wake-up with minimal phone interference.

During the day: the Loftie Card triggers Focus mode with a single tap — at your desk, before a meeting, when the kids get home. Unlike screen-time apps that stay on a shelf at home, the Card lives in your wallet, with you wherever you need to focus.

A free home screen widget, Flip, replaces your phone’s app grid with just the apps you choose — no icons, no distractions.

Loftie+ builds on a platform serving over 15,000 members across curated audio, personalised bedtime stories, and wind-down routines. For Loftie hardware owners, an optional feature called Loftie Drift blocks selected apps automatically when you enter the bedroom, using Bluetooth from your Clock or Lamp.

Loftie+ is available now on iOS and Android across the UK and EU. The browser extension and Flip are free.

About Loftie

Loftie is a sleep wellness brand designing products that help people put their phones down — for deeper sleep at night and better focus by day. The line includes the Loftie Clock, Loftie Lamp, and Loftie+. The Loftie Clock has been named a TIME Best Invention, recommended by Wirecutter five years running, and is carried at MoMA Design Store, Goop, and URBN.
