SHANGHAI, July 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — On 26 July 2024, the DreamSmart AI Ecological Pavilion officially landed at the 2024 China International Digital Interactive Entertainment Exhibition (2024 ChinaJoy, Shanghai • New International Expo Center Snapdragon Theme Pavilion E4-05 Booth), presenting the latest AI intelligent technology products and multi-field ecological achievements in a new integrated exhibition format at China’s first-line exhibition. At the event, DreamSmart officially announced the launch of the DreamSmart AI Ecological Season, starting from the 2024 ChinaJoy, to create an AI ecological technology feast.

The DreamSmart AI Ecological Season is designed to be centered around AI, connecting the DreamSmart Flyme AIOS full ecological “star” experience, and through the in-depth experience and communication of Flyme Auto, Meizu AI phones, and MYVU AR smart glasses, it will expand towards higher online activity and purchasing power circles such as travel, sports, games, and technology, with the marketing concept of “user first”. It will use technology to drive experience innovation and use AI to illuminate a better life.

As the first special event of the DreamSmart AI Ecological Season, DreamSmart will land its overall ecological layout in the form of a technology experience hall at the ChinaJoy booth, and through the linkage of products in multiple fields such as automobiles, XR, and phones, allow the audience to more closely experience the technological charm of the DreamSmart AI ecological system.

Under the DreamSmart AI ecological system, the fusion of multiple terminals is based on the Flyme application big model built on the three-party general model and domain knowledge base, with Flyme AIOS as the core operating system, empowering various application terminals including phones, car machines, and XR. The various terminals are connected through Flyme Link as a link channel for ecological communication, working together and complementing each other in different application scenarios. The core applications (such as music, video, navigation, etc.) also seamlessly transfer between different terminals through Flyme Link, providing our users with a truly all-weather, all-scene, immersive fusion experience.

At the same time, after reaching a strategic cooperation with VSPO in June, DreamSmart brought strong e-sports elements to the ChinaJoy stage for the first time, with the support of Flyme Auto and AI technology, and launched the concept of “e-sports cockpit” on-site. In the Flyme Auto concept cockpit, DreamSmart empowers travel tools with the concept of e-sports, allowing customized cockpits for the needs of user circles, making the smart car cockpit not only able to provide rest, audio and video functions, but also can bring a unique end game experience for extreme game players, truly realizing the integration of the “game cockpit” into the future Flyme Auto smart cockpit.

In addition, at the 2024 ChinaJoy DreamSmart booth, the Lynk & Co 09 EM-P and BLG championship trophy were also on display as “special guests” from different industries, successfully becoming the focus of the audience and attracting a large number of players to experience and take photos. Among them, the new Lynk & Co 09 EM-P supports Flyme Link driver interconnection function, which can use Meizu phones to connect with the car machine, and achieve functions such as borderless desktop.

In the XR technology field that is at the forefront of the era, DreamSmart also demonstrated its strong technical strength and product charm. The MYVU AR smart glasses are a globally leading AR smart glasses, integrating multiple functions such as AI, translation, navigation, music, and cueing. It weighs only 43g, the lightest in the industry, and has globally leading optical display and audio technology. Its optical engine is also the lightest in the world, with a peak brightness of 2000 nits, ensuring clear visibility even in daylight. In the field of acoustics, MYVU uses AR dedicated super-linear speakers and customized sound cavity design to create a stereo sound field, providing a fully immersive experience.

At the software function level, MYVU uses its independently developed Flyme Link borderless interconnection technology to transfer core high-frequency applications from the smartphone to the glasses for users to experience. It provides users with practical functions including AI conversation chat, intuitive voice translation, navigation, listening to music, and conference cueing, meeting the needs of various user groups including business, travel, and cycling, and bringing them a more advanced and trendy technological experience.

At the ChinaJoy event, in addition to displaying MYVU AR smart glasses in multiple colors and combinations, there are also exclusive gifts customized for the BLG DreamSmart team. MYVU also invited four foreigners from different countries to engage in on-site exchanges about the experience of using MYVU AR smart glasses, and their excellent translation abilities and interactive logic made MYVU AR smart glasses a must-have gadget for many users traveling abroad.

In addition to Flyme Auto and MYVU, DreamSmart AI phones and AI terminals have all landed at the DreamSmart AI Ecological Hall. Among them, with the industry-exclusive aesthetic design of a physical quadrilateral white panel, leading strong hardware configuration with the flagship Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 series mobile platform, and a stable and smooth interactive experience of Flyme AIOS, the Meizu 21 PRO open AI terminal and Meizu 21 Note special forces phone attracted much attention on-site and received high praise from users on various platforms.

After DreamSmart’s “All in AI” in early 2024, AI terminals have become an essential part of the DreamSmart AI ecosystem. The launch of the stable version of Flyme AIOS will also activate the interconnection field from the inside out with AI terminals as the core, achieving a complete closed loop of ecological experience. The smarter AICY assistant, paired with hardcore functions such as AI-assisted input, AI global recording, AI notes, and AI portrait mode, as well as the best animation effects in Flyme’s history, allows Flyme AIOS to stand out among other operating systems and lead the new AI ecosystem.

With the theme of “Infinite Excitement with Original Intention” in mind, many trendy products from DreamSmart’s PANDAER brand were also displayed in the form of an ecological wall at ChinaJoy. In recent years, PANDAER’s products have been loved by users for their trendy design style and rich design details. On the ecological wall, PANDAER boldly and cleverly uses the bright colors of the new “CITY POP” theme to express the emotional stories behind different products, making the trend more warm and meaningful.

From brand renewal to multi-platform layout, DreamSmart is committed to deep integration and super coordination between the consumer electronics and automotive industries with the focus on “phones + XR + smart cars”. It aims to provide users with a multi-terminal, all-scenario, immersive fusion experience and build a global smart travel technology ecosystem. From a pioneer in smart phones to a comprehensive AI leader, DreamSmart continuously integrates in the fields of electric vehicles, XR technology, smart phones, self-developed systems, wearable smart terminals, and trendy lifestyles, and is committed to building a cross-border and integrated full-stack smart terminal platform, using AI to light up a better life.

DreamSmart is dedicated to building an AI ecological season and exploring advanced AI technology. This time, with the 2024 ChinaJoy as the center, it will continue to create, deepen the experience, and develop innovative and differentiated products and brands. In the new AI track, it will draw a beautiful ecological blueprint that connects AI terminals such as cars, XR, and phones.

Who’s Working Remotely? Virtual Vocations Survey Highlights Evolving Jobseeker Demographics

Published

December 27, 2024

This survey underscores the diverse backgrounds and experiences of remote jobseekers, highlighting the growing demand for flexible work arrangements across various demographics.

TUCSON, Ariz., Dec. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — With over 500 participants from the U.S. (69%) and international locations (31%), Virtual Vocations‘ 2024 demographics survey offers valuable insights into the evolving landscape of remote work. By comparing responses across these groups, the survey highlights shared experiences and unique challenges faced by jobseekers worldwide.

“Whether based in the U.S. or abroad, jobseekers are embracing remote roles to align their careers with their personal goals, and we’re proud to be a part of their journey.” –Laura Spawn, CEO and co-founder of Virtual Vocations

Although Virtual Vocations is a U.S.-based company, it supports international jobseekers through its fully remote job board and career resources, addressing the global demand for remote work opportunities. The company frequently receives inquiries from international members seeking to access fully remote roles, punctuating the worldwide appeal of flexible work arrangements.

“The 2024 demographics survey results reinforce what we’ve known for years—professionals around the world are seeking flexibility, balance, and opportunities to work from home,” said Virtual Vocations CEO Laura Spawn. “Whether based in the U.S. or abroad, jobseekers are embracing remote roles to align their careers with their personal goals, and we’re proud to be a part of their journey.”

Fully Remote Jobs Remain Most Desired

A significant 43% of U.S.-based jobseekers and 42% of international respondents named fully remote, no-travel jobs as their top preference. These roles, which allow employees to work entirely from home, offer flexibility, aligning with both personal and professional goals. Although occasional in-person requirements may arise, fully remote roles are favored over hybrid, partially remote, and “work from anywhere” options. These positions provide businesses with access to a broader talent pool and enable employees to prioritize workplace values and culture.

Top Industries for Remote Jobseekers

The survey also highlights four key industries attracting remote jobseekers worldwide. Information Technology (IT) stands out as the leading industry for remote roles, with significantly more job postings than any other field. Healthcare follows closely, benefiting from the growth of telehealth and remote medical roles. Customer service offers engaging opportunities for professionals interested in client interaction, while education presents a wide array of roles in online teaching, tutoring, and instructional design, fueled by the expansion of virtual learning.

Jobseekers’ Common Frustrations

Both U.S. and international jobseekers shared frustrations, particularly with online job scams. Jobseekers expressed dissatisfaction with the prevalence of scams, especially when searching for work-at-home positions. Despite relying on online job boards, only a quarter (23% of U.S. respondents and 24% of international respondents) use dedicated remote job boards, like Virtual Vocations, where job postings are thoroughly vetted to ensure they are free of scams. Additionally, many jobseekers expressed frustration with excessive job requirements and employers failing to provide feedback or “ghosting” applicants during the hiring process, with one-third of respondents from both groups reporting these issues.

Income Insecurity: A Global Concern

Income insecurity remains a pressing issue for both U.S. and international jobseekers, with many reporting their earnings as insufficient for comfortable living. Sixty-five percent of U.S. respondents and 77% of international respondents reported inadequate household incomes. Nearly half (48%) of U.S. jobseekers earn less than $60,000 annually, while 68% of international jobseekers earn under $30,000. To improve financial stability, many jobseekers have set income targets, with 30% of U.S. jobseekers aiming for $60,000–$89,999 and another 30% targeting at least $120,000. In contrast, international respondents generally require lower salaries, with 38% seeking $30,000–$59,999 and 32% aiming for $60,000–$89,999.
