United Nations members are meeting to agree on a deal to protect international waters.

Countries have tried for years to reach a global agreement on protecting the high seas.

These are areas of the worlds oceans that fall beyond the jurisdiction of any one nation.Two-thirds of oceans are considered international waters, but only 1.2 percent of these high seas are protected.

This means most of the worlds marine life is exposed to growing threats from climate change, overfishing and shipping. United Nations member states meeting in New York City aim to have a legally binding treaty to protect 30 percent of the worlds oceans by 2030.

But what has prevented an agreement until now?

Sea of Thieves Captaincy update makes the seas feel more alive – Polygon

Posted: at 5:50 pm

Sea of Thieves has continually been updated since its launch, bringing in everything from spectral phantoms and coral beasts to Jack Sparrow and Spanish fleets. But the most recent Captaincy update, which launched at the start of August along with season 7, may be one of the most impactful updates yet. Captaincy allows players to name and decorate their own ship, sell to a special vendor, and otherwise flex their status on the high seas. Its the first update to really shine the spotlight on other players, and it makes the Sea feel so much more alive.

When Sea of Thieves first launched, threats were thin on the ground. Developer Rare has since expanded the map into the fiery, frightful Devils Roar and added a whole host of dungeons and quests to explore. But all of these updates have been external, changing the world. Pirates themselves have received new tattoos or dresses, but rarely have they been granted new ways to meaningfully progress their own story.

Now, on the high waves, peering down a spyglass at a Captained ship plays a little tune, and you get to see their ships name, which is also emblazoned above their quarters. For instance, if you were to encounter me on the seas, youd see that I run The Bewwowing Hewwo, a fearsome sloop. I greet others with a heartfelt Hewwo. Im the captain of this ship, and you cant do anything about it although many try, often with cannons and fire. Peering at others ships, with names like the parrot-cosmetic-adorned Chicken Club or the black and gold Booty Hunter, and flipping through their log books, make them feel like similarly established characters.

[Captaincy] always felt like a core part of the pirate fantasy, says creative director Mike Chapman in a call with Polygon. Chapman says the team has discussed adding this feature on and off since launch. I think weve kind of reached a point now with the sandbox facilities that have evolved so much, and theres such a breadth of different experiences and play styles, that it was time to allow players to become Captains.

In Sea of Thieves, players can progress through the Tall Tales quest lines, earn reputation with factions, show up for Adventures, and battle through world events. But there wasnt much in the way of meaningful personal progression. A few rare pirates have earned Easter eggs in the world through community contributions, but there are no Boots of Better Sailing to acquire or Pirate Points to spend in talent trees. Your pirate could gussy themselves up in new cosmetics, like tattoos or a cool sword, but each session still started with a fresh, unadorned sloop.

Now, players can assemble their own fleets, purchasing new ships and locking specific customization slots like a treasured capstan or cool cannon to automatically load on a sloop, brigantine, or galleon. As Captains go about their adventures, theyll accumulate Milestones, which unlock new trinkets and treasures. And if your ship gets jostled about, you can straighten up paintings and realign your little statues so your ship is neat. If your ship is krakend or firebombed, that damage will show up unless you pay a small sum to remove it.

When we thought about deep levels of customization, we thought that players want to express how they play and who they are as a captain, says Shelley Preston, lead designer on Sea of Thieves. If you love the Devils Roar stuff, youll have Milestones that correlate with globe-y, volcanic rock looking decorations and you can progress that way and become that reflection of that play style.

Some of the trinkets are trophies from dramatic adventures, and some of them are just nice little ferns or a humble hook on which to hang ones hat. It was about ensuring that weve got enough variety and kind of role-playability to actually make the cabin and the quarters feel like its theirs, says Preston.

Chapman says that it was a process to make sure that Captains had fun options without cluttering up their ships too much. What you dont want to do is push it so far that you can adversely affect the core gameplay, that youre impacting the free flow of walking around the ship and accessing damage holes when youre under stress and your ship is sinking. So its trying to tread that line of not affecting the core gameplay, but really giving that ability to express yourself and the things that youve done.

While Rare has given Sea of Thieves a multitude of updates since its launch over four years ago, the Captaincy update is one Ive enjoyed the most so far. A new voyage or glowing landmark on the map to investigate is always fun, but the dolly dress-up element of fastidiously arranging little trinkets on my sloop is delightful.

Its also great to sink another ship and read their logbook. When my buddies and I were aboard a brig, being chased down by a Reaper ship called The Audacity, we feared for our precious cargo. But we managed to stay afloat and win a brutal war of attrition, and then we seized their logbook and marveled at their achievements. All of the other Captaincy features, like the ability to sell your loot en masse to a convenient vendor at outposts, is just the icing on the cake.

Surfing a wave of controversy over deep-sea mining | Greenbiz – GreenBiz

Posted: at 5:50 pm

"We have to create the legal framework to stop high seas mining and not to allow new activities that endanger ecosystems."

That statement by French President Emmanuel Macron during a side event at the United Nations Ocean Conference earlier this summer hooked attention for an issue every climate tech entrepreneur should reflect on deeply: the race by mining companies to dive into exploration and extraction activities in the deep sea, on the hunt for oil and gas, as well as mineral deposits and nodules rich in manganese, iron, nickel, copper, cobalt and other metals vital for electric vehicle batteries or clean energy generation.

What most news stories failed to report, however, was Macrons next comment: "My point is at the same time, I think we have to promote our scientists and explorers to better know and discover these high seas We need to better understand in order to better protect."

The urgency of what is at stake is tangible. Last year, the tiny Micronesian country of Nauru triggered a legal process under which it could begin commercial extraction by July 2023 under whatever regulations and rules are in place at that time. That has sent the International Seabed Authority (ISA) responsible for setting rules to "organize, regulate and control all mineral-related activities in the international seabed area for the benefit of mankind as a whole" scrambling to comply. Indeed, according to environmental group Greenpeace, ISA has already approved 31 contracts to begin "commercial exploitation." It has been hosting negotiations this summer, mostly behind closed doors.

The concern is that no one really knows what impact these mining and extraction activities might have on the deep ocean floor. Picture the worst practices of terrestrial mining. Now imagine that happening 4 or 5 miles below the ocean surface. (The deep sea is generally defined as whats below 656 feet of depth.)

Its not just seabed mining; it is the whole responsible metals approach that we should be concerned about.

The situation has inspired a tsunami of criticism from activist groups, including Greenpeace, and has prompted calls for a moratorium by countries including Chile (seeking a 15-year freeze on the practice), Palau, Fiji and Samoa and by businesses including BMW Group, Google, Patagonia, Philips, Renault, Rivian, Samsung, Scania, Volkswagen and Volvo. Other companies including Daimler, Ford, General Motors, Microsoft and Tiffany have written clauses into their procurement policies that exclude deep-sea minerals, according to the organization that organized the moratorium statements, the Deep Sea Conservation Coalition. A half-dozen or so banks and financial institutions, including Lloyds Banking Group and NatWest, have pledged not to invest in these activities, according to its research.

Earlier this year, the U.N. Environment Program published an analysis suggesting how financial institutions should respond to the deep-sea mining sector. Heres one of the biggest takeaways: "In the context of ongoing work being undertaken by UNEP FI with respect to financing the sustainable blue economy, there is no foreseeable way in which the financing of deep-sea mining activities can be viewed as consistent with the Sustainable Blue Economy Finance Principles or compatible with the spirit and intent of the Sustainable Blue Economy."

In the case of deep-sea mining, what we dont know is one of the biggest arguments for pushing pause.

According to a statement so far signed by more than 650 marine scientists and policy experts from more than 44 countries (including Esri Chief Scientist Dawn Wright, speaking this year at VERGE 22), the deep ocean is one of the worlds most expansive carbon sinks, one that provides critical ecosystem services for global fisheries. But we know very little about how it actually does this only 20 percent of the seafloor is mapped, and just 1.1 percent of the regions being considered for deep-sea exploration have enough data available to understand the risk mining might pose to biodiversity and other ecological factors.

According to the statement signed by those scientists, these are some causes for concern:

"We strongly recommend that the transition to the exploitation of mineral resources be paused until sufficient and robust scientific information has been obtained to make informed decisions as to whether deep-sea mining can be authorized without significant damage to the marine environment and, if so, under what condition," the statement reads.

The big dilemma, of course, is that the seafloor is believed to be rich with resources that are vitally important for the transition to a clean economy. Those resources could also be a valuable source of income for emerging economies (such as Nauru) that host these minerals and metals in their national waters.

To be clear, no deep-sea commercial mining is going on at the moment, but testing is going on in the Clarion Clipperton Zone of the Pacific Ocean, considered the greatest potential trove for polymetallic nodules, and activities are occurring at shallower depths.

To better understand whats next, I spoke with Renee Grogan, a signatory of the group calling for research and testing, who also happens to be the co-founder and chief sustainability officer for Impossible Mining, a Canadian startup developing technology for harvesting polymetallic nodules that lie on the ocean floor. The company raised an additional $10.1 million in seed funding in June to help fund pilots of its technology.

We strongly recommend that the transition to the exploitation of mineral resources be paused until sufficient and robust scientific information has been obtained to make informed decisions ...

Impossible proposes using autonomous robots and artificial intelligence to search out and collect nodules that can be harvested for their metals and minerals. The technology is endowed with features designed to help it avoid fragile sealife, such as coral tendrils, as well as the sediment, Grogan said.

The company is also working on a bio-extraction technique that removes the metals from the nodules using bacteria and without relying on acids, toxic chemicals or extreme heat, she said. "Its not just seabed mining; it is the whole responsible metals approach that we should be concerned about," Grogan told me. "It is not a single headline story."

As part of her argument, she pointed to the supply chain for cobalt, which even today rests on the backs of at least 40,000 child laborers. Rather than dismissing alternatives outright, there needs to be a sharper focus on responsible experimentation, she said. Impossible Mining is actively engaging with a number of the scientists signing the statement seeking research on deep-sea mining, Grogan noted, and is incorporating elements of their recommendations into its product development.

Impossible Mining is just one company, of course. One of the most high-profile startups in deep-sea mining, The Metals Co. (formerly DeepGreen Metals), in mid-July said it is working with an Australian research consortium to sketch out an ecosystems management and monitoring program related to its collection operations in the Clarion Clipperton Zone. The blueprint will be used to create a predictive technology that builds on what The Metals Co. has already learned and that can be shared with others.

Its clear that any mining company with deep-sea aspirations has a responsibility to participate in developing approaches that minimize their impact, or they could see their business plans scuttled by an ocean of opposition. And companies building the essential components of everything from EVs to wind turbines to solar panels should be asking their suppliers deeper questions about the source of the materials theyre building them with. "Every form of mining has an impact even selective harvesting will have an impact," Grogan acknowledged.

Global broadband reaches for the stars to connect the Earth – ComputerWeekly.com

Posted: at 5:50 pm

Around the world, people in cities, towns, villages and hamlets, even in the most remote places, want to get online and enjoy online experiences that are transformational for homes and businesses alike. And over the past few years, demand for high-speed connectivity from anywhere and everywhere has seen an explosion in the number of satellite broadband providers, and now demonstrable financial success.

In August 2022, and despite facing a number of headwinds, satellite operator SES reported a solid first six months of the year, with its networks business outshining a declining core broadcast line, delivering annual growth of 2% driven by important wins at individual companies, such as Argentinean telco Arsat, Hispasat-owned teleport operator and satellite services providerAxess Networks, as well as agreements signed in key industries such as utilities and cruise lines.

Its the same story at arch-rival Eutelsat, whose full-year results reported at the same time show fixed broadband and mobile connectivity businesses delivering double-digit growth, highlighting their long-term potential, whereas broadcast continues on a similar decline, albeit tracking at a slower rate.

So buoyed was Eutelsat, and looking to the future, it confirmed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to join forces with the global low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite provider OneWeb, a company whose dramatic recent history clearly shows the way in which satellite broadband is gaining a higher orbit and delivering for those everywhere.

Despite its somewhatcontroversial beginnings, being rescued from bankruptcy by a cash injection from the UK government and Bharti Global, OneWeb has established a satellite constellation capable of providing improved capacity,mobile resilience, backhauland coverage, includingfixed wireless access, in challenging geographic locations.

Thecompanysconstellation of global gateway stations and user terminalsis designed to provide an affordable, fast, high-bandwidth, low-latency communications service to the most hard-to-reach places globally, connected tointernet of things(IoT) devices and making a pathway for massadoption of 5G services.

In July 2021, OneWeb completed its Five to 50 mission to supply broadband connectivity from the North Pole to the 50thparallel, addressing remote locations in the UK, Canada, Alaska, Northern Europe, Greenland and the Arctic region. It would appear that OneWeb will be slugging it out with Elon Musks Starlink in the constellation game; in fact, the companies have been cooperating on launches.

The aforementioned Hispasatannounced its Axess Networks acquisition in March 2022 and has a broad customer base in industrial and corporate sectors related to telecommunications, oil and energy, and mining, among others, with critical operations in remote areas where service resilience and quality are extremely important.

The acquisition has also positioned Hispasat to accelerate the development of technology for emerging markets,such as the IoT or satellite 5G telecoms networks an objective especially notable in Latin America. Weeks after announcing the acquisition, Hispasat announced a collaboration with internet service provider GlobalSat in the roll-out of free satellite connectivity hotspots in 500 remote towns in Mexico, where only satellite was able to provide such coverage and capability.

In Asia, satellite communications services provider ST Engineering iDirect confirmed in July 2022 that Malaysian satellite operator Measat is significantly expanding its iDirect Evolution-based satellite network to deliver a plethora of services to enterprises and communities located in rural and ultra-rural areas. Launched on 22 June 2022, Measat-3d is designed to provide C, Ku and Ka-band high-throughput satellite(HTS) capacity so that users will be able to enjoy high-speed broadband regardless of their location in Malaysia.

So, while the market for satellite broadband has, you could say, taken off, its worth looking at where this connectivity is being used by enterprises and in commercial application.

Its once again interesting to note the trajectory of OneWeb. The company has been putting the general connectivity building blocks in place over the past two years and has now begun in earnest to sign up commercial clients with acute need for cost-effective broadband connectivity in the most remote places, such as the high seas.

In May 2022, OneWeb signed a memorandum of understanding with maritime technology firm Navarino, delivering high-speed, low-latency connectivity to the global commercial shipping industry. A series of sea trials are being undertaken, with the aim of connecting the first vessels from the first quarter of 2023.

At the time, Carole Plessy, head of maritime atOneWeb, described the potential for using enhanced connectivity, particularly on sensitive routes where real-time video and cloud syncing can be used as standard, even on deep sea vessels, as game-changing.

Navarino is an industry leader in maritime technology and were proud to work with its team to make a difference to the operations of commercial shipping and to shape the future of sustainable smart shipping, she said. Together, we can provide a selection of tailored, customisable broadband channels.

Not to be outdone in seeking fortunes on the high seas, Eutelsat was selected in May 2022 by Telenor Maritime for in-orbit resources and managed services for cruise connectivity on several of its satellites. The partnership was constructed to boost the performance, coverage and resilience of Telenor Maritimes at-sea connectivity resources, providing reliable and secure connectivity to the cruise segment.

The agreement gave Telenor Maritime targeted resources and services in specific sailing areas, while further highlighting the maritime sectors interest in managed connectivity services and supporting the strong momentum in the Mediterranean and Caribbean connectivity markets, where the cruise industry is hugely popular.

Also hugely popular on a global basis is 5G, and the satellite firms are all over the possibilities of delivering this to places traditional masts cant reach. For example, May 2022 saw OmnispaceandThales Alenia Space successfully launch and deliver the Omnispace Spark-2 satellite to advance and validate the development and implementation of the operators global non-terrestrial network (NTN).

The new-generation NGSO satellite constellation, in low Earth orbit, will operate in 3GPP band n256, which has been standardised for NTN operation, making direct-to-enterprise and government IoT, as well as consumer device connectivity, possible worldwide.

The partners also believe that 5G mobile connectivity from a single global network will help transform industries and serve as the communications infrastructure to support the digital economies of the 21stcentury.

Another key market for satellite-based broadband is the internet of things, especially in the ability to provide connectivity to devices no matter how remotely they are located.

The beginning of 2022 saw IoT broadband skies getting more crowded, with Astrocast unveiling the commercial launch of its bidirectional satellite internet of things (SatIoT) service, designed to connect IoT devices globally when outside of cell-based terrestrial networks, at a comparable cost.

The company says that in any remote IoT deployment, device size, power consumption and reliability are priority concerns, and Astrocast believes bidirectional IoT has a significant role to play in a workable IoT system. Indeed, it regards the ability to send commands back to assets, rather than just receive data, as hugely powerful and enables an array of new use cases, including remote management of equipment.

In one possible use case, Astrocast says SatIoT could enable farmers to command silos to release food, open gates or manage irrigation systems, with no need for expensive and often hard-to-source human interaction. It also suggests that utility companies could remotely control water management systems in line with flood prevention strategies.

Around the same time, Wyld Networks entered into a partnership with Agrology to enable farms to collect data in remote locations. Founded in 2019,Agrologydevelops predictive agricultural technology (agritech) to help growers maximise profits with minimal input costs and environmental impact.

Itspredictive agricultureplatform combines proprietary sensor arrays with machine learning to provide actionable insights and trends via a mobile application. For its part,Wyld Connectis an IoT global connectivity network based on low-orbit satellite systems.

In the partnership, the use of its technology will ensure Agrologys ground truth sensors continue to gather data, from even the most remote locations, and deliver that data quickly to Agrology customers, regardless of connectivity status.

The firms say their network will empower mobile network operators, their customers and partners to fuel innovation, power industries and connect billions of users, as the payload antennas will be used to enable a direct connection, no matter where in the world the user is, meeting the consortiums commitment to enabling disruptive technologies for the benefit of all.

Meanwhile, semiconductor and advanced algorithms technology provider Semtech has announced a joint initiative with Lacuna Space to further increase the coverage and resilience of connectivity based on LoRaWAN (long-range wide-area networking), a standard designed to bridge between terrestrial networks with worldwide satellite to offer low-power ubiquitous connectivity.

Designed for IoT use cases, thelow-power WANcommunications technology uses unlicensed frequency bands to transmit data over a far longer range than Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.

Semtechs LoRa device-to-cloud platform is a long-range, low-power service for IoT applications, enabling the development and deployment of low-power, cost-efficient and long-range IoT networks, gateways, sensors, module products and IoT services worldwide. The companys LoRa devices provide the communications layer for the LoRaWAN protocol. LoRa is regarded as ideal for connecting battery-powered devices, however, until now, its use has been limited to receiving data from immobile devices in areas with terrestrial connectivity.

Mobile satellite services providerEchoStar Mobile is also aboard the LoRa world, confidently predicting it will unlock massiveIoTcapability across Europe. It has unveiled an early adopter programme for the pan-European satellite-based LoRa IoT service. The EchoStar Mobile LoRa solution allows sensors to roam freely in real time while sending and receiving information, making use of the companys licensed S-band spectrum and capacity on the EchoStar XXI geostationary satellite with a LoRa-enabled module that integrates easily into IoT devices.

Government agencies are also eyeing up the satellite broadband opportunities. SESs non-geostationary medium Earth orbit (MEO) satellite network will now be part of the governmental satellite communications (GovSatCom)-grade satellite communications platform it has developed with funding from the European Space Agency (ESA).

Based onO3b high-throughput, low-latency and secure communications, the MEO satellite network is designed for data-intensive applications sought by European governments, such as remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS) operations, high-performance networks and cloud services, and allowing for artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML).

The agreement with ESA is an evolution of thePacis-1project that resulted in the development of a dedicated platform comprising geostationary (GEO) satellites for governments and institutions the SES Reach platform. The Reach platform capability was developed by SES specifically for European governmental and institutional users requiringGovSatCom-level servicesfor safety, security and emergency response.

And so, it goes on. As long as everyone, everywhere wants and needs broadband connectivity, there will also be a huge market to supply it. Watch this space, literally.

Wanted Chinese Online Casino Businessman Nabbed in Thailand – GamblingNews.com

Posted: at 5:49 pm

Police in Bangkok, Thailand has led a raid against a Chinese businessman who is wanted back in mainland China and is subject to an international arrest warrant. The man, one She Zhijiang, aged 40, has eluded Chinese authorities since 2012, according to local media outlets, but he will now face charges of running an illegal online casino.

China has been known to pursue escapees internationally, especially when it concerns the safety of its own people. The country has shown a gung-ho approach to anyone who has breached its gambling laws, which are getting tighter by the day and more targeted toward everyday people who participate in illegal gambling.

She also operates gaming ventures in both Myanmar and Cambodia and he has been involved in various lottery businesses in the Philippines, a media report said. As a result of the evidence presented against the businessman, Shes visa has been canceled, exposing him to deportation back to China. Commenting for the AFP, a Thai police official said that the public prosecutor will submit a request to the criminal court this week.

Back in China, She may face up to 10 years in prison, as per the Interpol red notice issued in his name in May 2021. All charges pertaining to him running an illegal casino. In doing so, She may have committed other offenses, the red notice specifies.

According to the arrest warrant, he was the head of a criminal gang that operated between January 2018 and February 2021. He had to collaborate with a number of companies to maintain the operation of his online gambling platform. Some 330,000 gamblers are known to have participated in the gambling operations run by She, authorities argued.

Some $22 million have been transferred abroad by gamblers which goes against the grain of what China expects from gamblers. Even in Macau, where gambling laws were overhauled recently, concessionaires were told to make sure that they take less from Chinese nationals in terms of gambling money, and focus on overseas VIP customers instead.

Simply put, China is exerting soft capital control in which it wants to make sure the countrys money is circulating inside and not feeding foreign companies or economies. However, Shes operations were not as innocuous as simply offering people a choice to gamble. At least one person has committed suicide after losing money gambling through the platform, a report by Thai media said.

At this point, its not clear whether Thailand will press on with extradition, but this is usually the case. Regardless, the treaty signed by both countries demands careful preparation of paperwork and a right to the people targeted by the measure to argue their case why they should be extradited.

VR hardware requirements are needed to play virtual casino games – Hardware Times

Posted: at 5:49 pm

A VR-based casino is an online gambling establishment that uses virtual reality technology to provide gamers with a realistic gaming experience. Virtual reality casinos need special hardware to build a practical, three-dimensional environment that mimics the look and feel of a genuine casino. Players sense that they are actually at a casino since they may communicate with the dealer in real-time. Virtual reality as casino New Zealand says, feels more real and more fun to play at than regular online casinos.

How does a virtual reality casino work?

A headset is used in VR-based casinos to immerse the player in a real, three-dimensional setting. Thanks to this comprehensive setting, players can engage with the casino games and other gamers, just like in a live casino. Because it gives players a much more authentic and interesting gaming experience, virtual reality technology has grown in popularity in casinos in recent decades.

Gamers at virtual reality Gonzos Treasure Hunt use customized eyewear that transports them into a three-dimensional environment that is extremely lifelike. These headsets in VR-based casinos are equipped with sensors that can follow the players motions and can be connected to a computer or a gaming console. Let casino games respond to and change based on what the player does, giving the impression that the user is playing in a real casino.

With the following VR hardware requirements, you may play any game you want at a virtual casino without leaving your home if you have the right technology. Technology enhances the immersion and realism of VR casinos, giving players a simulation as close to the actual thing as possible.

What you need to know

Virtual reality has evolved alongside technology. Your head or body can be tracked to produce particular effects in the virtual environment. To ensure that your actions and replies are instantly changed, it is crucial to have a gadget with low latency.

For the virtual environment to remain realistic, the device requires a high frame rate (often a threshold of 60 FPS, 90 is suggested). The illusion and the pleasure would be destroyed by frequent skipping or cutting. The following are Vr hardware requirements to play virtual casino games.

1. A computer

A gaming computer is essential to have a successful virtual reality casino experience. With a powerful computer, your games can run without hiccups and look amazing.

Applications that use virtual reality (VR), whether for gaming, watching movies, or live television, are becoming increasingly popular. However, you wont be able to replicate that same level of quality on your computer at home. Virtual reality (VR) needs a powerful computer system to analyze huge amounts of data and send it to the users VR headset and controllers.

The PCs with the most processing capacity and the greatest chipsets for VR are designed expressly for VR. A good cooling system is crucial since these processors produce a lot of heat. These are merely the minimal prerequisites for a VR-ready computer, though.

2. Headset

It all boils down to individual preference, from the virtual reality software to the VR headgear. Your choices in gaming, as well as your budget, will determine the virtual reality headset that is best suited for you. However, the year 2022 is a good moment to invest in virtual reality (VR) since more and more software for VR is now being developed, and it is a good idea to get on the ground floor of the creation of the Metaverse.

The most crucial piece of equipment youll need for a VR casino experience is probably a headset. Sony PlayStation, HTC Vive, and Oculus Rift VR are available as headset options.

3. Controllers

A new sort of controller is available to go along with a new form of online casino game! Casinos may be readily accessed and engaged with using VR Casino controllers. They are made with ergonomics, so holding one in each hand feels natural.

Some even sense your presence when you pick them up spontaneously, which shows how intuitive they can be. The devices sophisticated sensors are what make this work. The Virtual Casino avatar will then mirror your moves after translating them.

4. A Vr-ready TV/projection Vr/monitor base Vr.

Rear projection screens and audio speakers are examples of static displays that are permanently installed. The generated output reflects the users input sense organs shifting positions.

While not necessary, a VR-ready TV can improve your VR casino experience. A VR-ready TV will deliver a clearer, wider view than a regular TV.

Conclusion

Virtual reality gaming requires seven times the processing power regular games do to bring you 3D vision; now, no computer can do that. Additionally, while a typical desktop frame rate is 60 frames per second, VR gaming would need 90 frames per second for gameplay to be decent.

Because Virtual Reality Casinos are much more advanced than traditional games, you wont get very far using a standard computer mouse, gamepad, or joystick. Virtual reality game players utilize data gloves instead of conventional gear. Data gloves not only ensure that your presence is noticed by the game but also allow the game to detect how your body moves, thanks to the large number of minuscule sensors embedded within the glove.

Once the glove has detected what movements you are making, those movements will be fed back to your computer in the same way that your brain sends signals to your body for action to occur. This happens in the same way that your brain sends signals to your body for movement to occur. This information is analyzed, and the virtual world will understand your activities as they are perceived in the actual world. Because of the high expense of both of these pieces of equipment, the creators of virtual casino games have made sure to create Virtual Reality Games that can play without either of the components mentioned above of hardware.

Technologies that will change the iGaming industry – Yogonet International

Posted: at 5:49 pm

In this new column, Ayvar Gabidullin, Head of Business Development at Slotegrator, shares insights about the iGaming steady growth from Dmytro Taran, COO of Slotegrator,and gives a rundown of what technologies are already in use, as well as which ones could radically change the industry in the near future. This analysis covers blockchain,PWA features, Big Data, and VR/AR.

The online gambling market continues to grow steadily. According to European Gaming, the size of the global casino market was estimated at almost $546 billion in 2021. The CAGR over the forecast period is expected to be 5.79%, reaching almost $765 billion by 2027. But industry growth is measured in more than just dollars and cents; you can also see the vitality of iGaming in the introduction of new technologies.

Cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies have had an exceptional impact on the evolution of the iGaming industry. Theres no denying the growing popularity of bitcoin casinos. Supporting cryptocurrency payments on gambling platforms opens up new advantages: no personal data is needed, the amount of payments is not limited, and transactions are carried out without commissions and intermediaries, which guarantees fast deposits and payouts.

While fiat currencies are supported by the state that issues them, cryptocurrencies are backed by a decentralized registry that tracks every transaction, which is distributed over a large database with a million copies. This has several implications: first, anyone with access to the network can verify the transaction, and second, the history of bitcoin cannot be faked; any attempt to falsify a block will affect every block in the network.

Decentralized public records are characterized by security and transparency, which is especially appreciated by privacy-conscious players. And a significant advantage for operators is protection against chargebacks, which are impossible with cryptocurrencies.

Blockchain technologies can also be used to record transactions between the user and the casino all bets, deposit amounts, and payouts on winnings are recorded in encrypted form. General statistics on payout percentage is displayed for each game. Thus, gambling platforms can prove that players really receive the payout percentage declared by the providers. There are not many casinos with blockchain reporting on the global online gambling market, but this mechanic is gaining momentum and will scale as a trend in the near future.

Recently, online casinos are increasingly using Progressive Web Applications, browser-based applications that have become an alternative to native mobile applications. PWAs are launched as a regular web page of a gambling site; i.e., a player can install the application he is interested in directly via Chrome or Safari, without using online stores. By clicking the Add to home screen button, an Android user can add the casino to their mobile phone. For IOS devices, one more quick additional step is needed.

PWA technology has three key features:

"Given the growing popularity of mobile applications and the desire of the user to get the result at the lowest cost and with PWA the player can enjoy their favorite games on their mobile phone by simply pressing the download button it can be said that the tool works effectively to attract new users and retain existing ones," commented Dmitro Taran.

Sifting through mountains of data is as difficult as it is important, but there are a number of concrete benefits to sorting data. Online casinos use Big Data technology for a few different purposes:

- Personalization. With each visit to the gambling site, players provide more and more information about themselves. Activity tracking using Big Data technologies allows you to find out user interests. Operators use these data to set their strategies, thereby increasing the overall efficiency of the business.

- The fight against fraud.Unscrupulous players and organizations can use VPNs and other tools to abuse bonuses. New methods for analyzing the behavior of players and their patterns help to identify cheaters.

- Combat problem gambling.In order to preserve the reputation of the industry, its participants pay significant attention to the safety of end users. Data analysis is used to prevent problem gambling. Certain behavioral characteristics of players may indicate the development of addiction. By setting up the alert system, the operator can identify and correct the problem before it occurs.

-Data-driven KPIs. In the iGaming industry, various metrics are used to evaluate business performance some of these include gross gaming revenue (GGR), net gaming revenue (NGR), average revenue per user (ARPU), and first-time depositors (FTDs), and churn rate (CR). Continuous analysis of these indicators across different time periods allows the operator to identify shortcomings and make informed decisions about how to correct them.

Customer relationship management (CRM) systems allow you to competently manage data. The CRM system included in the functionality of the new platformfrom Slotegrator is equipped with reporting tools that make it possible to track user behavior and, based on this analysis, target certain player segments, which helps the operator improve player retention.

The use of VR/AR technologies in gambling has not yet become as widespread as in some other industries. Nevertheless, the potential of virtual reality in gambling is huge, and some brands have already launched casinos in the metaverses. Interested participants in the iGaming market expect that in the near future, leading game content developers will develop products specifically tailored for VR/AR experiences.
