vivo Announces Robotics Lab and Showcases its First Mixed Reality Headset at the Boao Forum 2025
During the "vivo Release Moment" session held on the afternoon of March 25th at the Boao Forum, Hu Baishan, Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer at vivo, and President of the vivo Central Research Institute, delivered a keynote speech titled "Humanity in the Future of Technology by vivo". In his speech, Hu stated that the mobile phone industry is a microcosm of China's technological innovation, and vivo's development reflects the progress of this sector. Hu elaborated on the company's core business philosophies applied over the past three decades, highlighting three different dimensions: long-termism, humanistic thinking and focus on collaboration and mutual achievement. To date, vivo has been the number one domestic mobile phone brand in the Chinese market in terms of market share for four consecutive years, and serves over 500 million users in more than 60 countries and regions worldwide.
Hu Baishan stated that over the past few decades, the mobile phone industry has served as an "incubator" for new industries, transforming how we live and work. Today, advancements in AI and robotics represent the pinnacle of technological achievements in the digital and physical worlds, respectively. Yet, these two worlds remain relatively independent and have not yet been perfectly integrated. The mobile phone industry with its massive consumer base, the most forward-looking technological ecosystem, and diverse application scenarios, could help bridge these two worlds. Robotics could represent the future of the mobile phone industry, blending digital connectivity with physical capabilities. Importantly, this future will continue to emphasize people-oriented values and focus on user scenarios to create ultimate experiences.
In his speech, Hu revealed that vivo has officially established the vivo Robotics Lab. By leveraging vivo's decade of "BlueTech" experience in fields like AI large learning models and imaging, together with the real-time spatial computing capabilities accumulated through vivo Vision, vivo will focus on developing two core areas, the "brain" and "eyes" of robots. At the same time, vivo will focus on the consumer market, developing robotic products for personal and home use. vivo aims to bring technology out of the laboratory and into users' everyday lives. This way, it will focus on gradual breakthroughs and continuous innovation to address real-life scenarios and solve user pain points, iterating product development along the way. vivo Vision, unveiled for the first time at the Boao Forum, marks a significant milestone in vivo's exploration of mixed reality technology. Building on this momentum, the upcoming vivo X200 Ultra, slated for release next month, will also integrate vivo's latest advancements in imaging. Looking ahead, vivo envisions a world where robotics enhances everyday life and is committed to collaborating with industry partners to bring robots to households around the globe.

IBM Study: Sports Fans Demand More Dynamic Digital Content, Powered by AI
Most fans surveyed agree that AI-powered features will have a significant impact on how they consume sports More than half surveyed want AI-driven sports commentary and insights for past, current and future events Mobile sports apps are becoming essential to the fan experience, particularly among fans attending events in-person ARMONK, N.Y., Aug. 18, 2025 /CNW/ -- New global research commissioned by IBM (NYSE: IBM) reveals sports fans are turning to more dynamic digital content experiences, with AI, personalization and real-time features central to how they engage with sports. The study* of more than 20,000 sports fans across 12 countries shows they increasingly view technology – particularly AI -- as a positive force in sports. Total AI usage among fans has grown since 2024 across nearly all re-tested markets, ** with 85% of respondents seeing value in integrating the technology into their sports experience and 63% expressing trust in AI-generated sports content. Surveyed fans identify real-time game/match updates (35%) and personalized content (30%) as their top priorities for AI-enhanced sports engagement. Beyond live events, many respondents are turning to video highlights (51%), post-event recaps (37%) and player interviews (32%) to stay connected to their favorite sports. Dedicated mobile sports apps are also widely adopted -- 73% of surveyed fans confirm using them to stay updated. Social media is the leading platform for accessing additional content, and social media influencers play a prominent role, with 59% of surveyed followers engaging with them for analysis and predictions. Only 27% of surveyed fans expect their sports consumption habits to stay the same over the next two years. Eighty percent (80%) believe technology – specifically AI -- will have the greatest influence on how they follow sports by 2027. More than half (56%) of surveyed fans want AI-powered insights and commentary for past, current and future sporting events. Additionally, 33% of respondents believe real-time translation technology will have the most significant impact on their international sports experience in the next 2-3 years -- particularly in markets where English is not the dominant language. "The sports media landscape is more complex than ever, and fans are comfortable consuming digital content around the clock," said Kameryn Stanhouse, Vice President, Sports and Entertainment Partnerships, IBM. "With fans signaling their readiness to embrace AI, we will continue working with our tournament, league, and media partners to meet fans where they are, whether they're watching the action in person or enhancing their second-screen experience." Other key findings include: Sports engagement expands beyond the game with fast, non-stop content across screens Most (90%) fans surveyed consume sports content beyond watching events, with younger fans leading the trend. 40% of surveyed mobile sports app users rely on apps for centralized information and 35% for real-time updates when unable to watch games live. About 1 in 5 F1, golf, and tennis fans use apps tailored to their favorite sports. Mobile sports app usage jumps among in-person event attendees, with 82% of surveyed fans using apps during events. Of those, 91% engage with apps during live events, mostly for real-time commentary (44%), stats or analytics (41%) and enhanced in-stadium experiences (35%). Among fans surveyed in both 2024 and 2025, multi-device usage to follow sporting events increased from 27% to 29%, indicating a significant upward trend in second-screen behavior. 74% of respondents following sports influencers say storytelling is important to how they experience or connect with sports, especially among fans ages 18-44. Fans seek more connected, community-driven sports experiences 35% surveyed plan to watch more live content over the next two years, and 29% expect to attend more events in person. Fans surveyed agree that enhancements like faster recaps (67%), personalization capabilities (65%) and greater access to players and teams (65%) will improve their digital sports experience. Interest in community-driven experiences is rising: More fans rank community engagement as their first or second priority when consuming sports content, with the share of respondents ranking it as their top priority (1st) rising from 9% in 2024 to 11% in 2025.** More respondents now identify community-building and fan interaction as important areas for AI-driven improvements in sports engagement (21% in 2025 vs. 20% in 2024).** To view the full study, visit: *Study Methodology This survey was conducted in June 2025 among a total sample of 20,864 sports fans 18+ in the US, Canada, the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, India, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Mexico and Brazil.

Xinhua Silk Road: Waterfalls forge stronger China-Italy bond
BEIJING, Aug. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- "The two natural wonders have not only become a symbol of our friendly relations, but also a cultural bridge connecting two places," Walter Semperboni, mayor of Valbondione in the Italian province of Bergamo, highlighted the waterfall-linked friendship between China and Italy in a recent letter. This connection was formalized in December 2020 during the 50th anniversary of the establishment of China-Italy diplomatic relations, when the Jiulong Waterfalls in Luoping County, Qujing City, southwestern China's Yunnan Province and Italy's Serio Falls near Valbondione were officially twinned. "These waterfalls constitute natural bridges for exchanges and cooperation," said Lorenzo Riccardi, president of the China-Italy Chamber of Commerce. On August 7, 2023, Riccardi represented the government of Valbondione to unveil a friendship monument commemorating the pact between the twin waterfalls at the Jiulong Waterfalls scenic area. Thanks to this partnership, the Jiulong Waterfalls scenic area has launched many cultural and tourism cooperation initiatives with Italy over the past five years, noted Hu Yibo, who is in charge of the scenic area. According to Hu, Italian tourist groups make dedicated visits to the Jiulong Waterfalls, where characteristic cultural activities such as ethnic performances and cultural exhibitions offer international visitors immersive experiences. Meanwhile, the Serio Falls, renowned across Europe, provide valuable insights for scenic area management and nature conservation. "The twinning enables the two countries to share tourism development expertise," Hu added. With the 5th anniversary of the friendship pact between the Jiulong Waterfalls and the Serio Falls in 2025, Semperboni envisioned expanded cooperation. "We hope there will be further cooperation through joint planning and promotion of tourism projects, mutual visits and exchanges among the youth, and collaboration in environmental protection and sustainable development."
