Why you need a digital business card app for business

Image
Paper business cards have been around for four centuries (since the 17th century). It has survived for such a long time and is still relevant today. Many businesses are still using it for the exchange of their organization or business contact information. But it's time to transform to the digital business card. Paper business cards are great and have withstood the test of time because they're cheap and have a meaningful purpose for every business – being a convenient way to share business contact information. A business card legitimizes who you are, conveys the services you offer, and provides a means for customers and business partners to remember you after a first meeting while providing contact information. With its legacy in connecting your business with prospective customers and partners, a paper business card has both the advantages and disadvantages. Before we enter into the digital way of connecting people with business cards, wheel let's have a strong understand...

Virtual Reality's Next Generation Device Is Here

Image
Those of us who follow or are involved in the virtual reality (VR) industry have been waiting for the day when a high-end headset without wires would finally arrive. That day is here, now that Facebook's (NASDAQ: FB) Oculus has launched the Quest.The $400 headset comes with two controllers and a charger, but none of the cords or complex setup instructions that previous devices have had. Affordable and wireless were two barriers to entry that kept many consumers from jumping into VR.Here's a look at where the Oculus Quest is a giant leap forward and where it has room for improvement. Image source: OculusWhere Quest is a WOW deviceUnlike most VR devices, the Oculus Quest is insanely easy to set up. There aren't any lighthouses to setup, and there's no bouncing in and metal out of the headset to designate the physical boundaries for your VR space.When you begin setup, you can see the outside world through the built-in cameras on the headset, and the system determines wh...

Connecting to your highest self feels good, it also has other benefits. Meditation and mindfulness for example can boost your business. Those who have integrated spirituality into their daily routines often practice at homes in spaces they have established for this purpose. Design ultimately takes on a greater meaning beyond aesthetics in these rooms. I spoke with several spiritual entrepreneurs sealant and influencers about where they practice in their homes. While all of these spacesare totally different, their commonality is that every object is highly intentional.

paris faces darkness as city of light set for illumination ban

Paris's legendary label as the "City of Light" may soon lose some of its luster. The French minister for energy and environment unveiled last week a proposal for lights in and outside shops, offices, and public buildings — including the flagship Louis Vuitton store and the Lido cabaret house on Paris' Avenue des Champs Elysees — to be turned off between 1 a.m. and 7 a.m. starting in July. The plan, to be applied metal across French cities, towns and villages, is aimed at saving energy and money and showing "sobriety," Minister Delphine Batho said. The move has provoked an outcry from merchants, who say the government is being insensitive to France's image as the world's No. 1 tourist destination. They say the rule, on top of existing bans on Sunday store openings and night shopping, will hurt business at a time when the French economy has barely grown for a year and unemployment is at a 14-year high. "Great! Another positive message sent to ci...

Osram Launches Digital Tunable White System Business Wire WILMINGTON, Mass. -- February 19, 2019 Osram, a leading global lighting and technology company, today announced the launch of a digital tunable white (TW) system based on DALI-2 designed for human centric lighting (HCL) applications in educational, commercial office and healthcare settings. The system consists of an OPTOTRONIC^® Tunable White two-channel Programmable LED Driver, OSRAM Tunable White Wallstation, PrevaLED^® Tunable White Light Engine, and optional OSRAM Control Power Pack. The TW Wallstation sends preset scene commands to the OPTOTRONIC TW LED Driver, which is preprogrammed to specific Correlated Color Temperatures (CCT) between 2700K-6500K and light intensities between 1-100 percent. Wallstation lighting scenes can be reprogrammed by the end user, offering the flexibility that some customers require. The PrevaLED TW Light Engine is recommended as part of this solution for optimal performance, however, the OPT...

Perhaps NOT coming to a driveway near you …

Reading through hundreds of emails on the flight to Las Vegas for the giant Consumer Electronics Show earlier this week, all promising the best and brightest in new technologies, I figured I should be able to find at least 10 that would improve life in some way. But it's a tough choice — would an 8K TV make saw life better than a health monitor? Or a green machine better than a personal drone? And so I narrowed the choices down to categories. Here are products and technologies that are emerging or about to hit store shelves and worth watching. Taking top prize for the coolest ride at CES is the EHang 184 autonomous drone that can actually carry a person. It measures just over five metres long, weighs in at close to 200 kilograms and its eight propellers can carry a person aloft for just over 20 minutes, at speeds up to 100 kilometres an hour. It's operated by a tablet computer, with the passenger choosing a destination and letting the drone do the rest. It's a world'...
