Taboola News Hits High Market Penetration in APAC and LATAM;
Taboola News Includes Wallpaper, Minus One, Notification and Browser integrations on OEMs

NEW YORK, Aug. 31, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Taboola (Nasdaq: TBLA), a global leader in powering recommendations for the open web, helping people discover things they may like, today announced rapid growth and new innovation for its Taboola News offering, which is expected to cross $50M in revenue for Taboola in 2022.

Taboola News integrates content recommendations from Taboola’s large publisher network with leading mobile device manufacturers across multiple touchpoints, including Minus One screens, news notifications, and browser applications. The newest offering from Taboola News brings editorial recommendations, curated beautifully via wallpaper experiences, on mobile device lockscreens. The product is now live in over 80 markets around the world.

Studies show consumers spending more time learning and reading via mobile devices, and a large portion of time spent on mobile today is on social media. Mobile social apps have become a place where many consumers turn to learn about important topics across politics, health, and local news, despite substantial risks for misleading and false information:

  • In a March 2022 analysis, Newsguard found that within 40 minutes of signing up for a TikTok account, users were presented with false and misleading content about the war in Ukraine.
  • In a 2021 analysis, Newsguard found that within 35 minutes of opening an account, 8 out of 9 children who were under the age of 18 were exposed to misinformation about Covid-19.
  • More than 60 percent of videos with harmful misinformation were viewed by users on TikTok before being removed, in the first quarter of 2022, according to TikTok.

Taboola News continues to provide people with trustworthy news sources to access. It gives consumers direct access to a curated list of the world’s top publishers where they can learn more about local news, sports, entertainment, politics, health and more. Exclusively for Taboola partners, users are sent to those publisher sites to read the articles of most interest to them, and the offering is pacing to send over half a billion visits to the open web in 2022.

The latest introduction brings Taboola News to mobile device wallpapers, giving device manufacturers the ability to provide recommendations directly on their lockscreens. This gives mobile users access to premium content from their favorite publishers matched with engaging, high-resolution images, refreshed on their device’s lockscreen throughout their day. For device manufacturers, this touchpoint provides a channel to engage and add value for users in the dozens of times a day they wake their mobile device.

“The vast majority of consumers get news via mobile and Taboola News is now core to that experience,” said Adam Singolda, CEO and founder, Taboola. “I’m concerned about a future where our kids will discover science, health care and politics on TikTok, and I think our mission is critical to ensure that high quality editorial content thrives and provides the compass our future generations need. I’m so excited to be on his important journey with our OEM and publisher partners and friends, making the open web strong and available for billions of people. This is our mission, and Taboola News is a fundamental part of it as publishers are looking to get new and loyal audiences.”

oToBrite Develops a Compact All-Weather Vision-AI Driver Monitoring System for the Commercial Vehicle Market

Published

on

otobrite-develops-a-compact-all-weather-vision-ai-driver-monitoring-system-for-the-commercial-vehicle-market

HSINCHU, May 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — oToBrite, a leading provider of vision-AI ADAS solutions, has successfully developed a compact all-weather vision-AI Driver Monitoring System (DMS). With a high-sensitivity automotive-grade global shutter image sensor, the system achieves outstanding Quantum Efficiency (QE), providing clear image quality day and night. With oToBrite’s proprietary secondary optical system, the overall combination effectively enhances the accuracy and reliability of the vision-AI algorithm in all weather conditions. The DMS has already been successfully delivered to heavy commercial vehicle manufacturers, mitigating the potential risks of traffic accidents.

oToBrite’s vision-AI DMS utilizes self-developed AI 3D facial landmark technology to identify over 100 driver IDs and recognize driving behaviors, including smoking, phone use, distraction, fatigue. The system remains effective even when drivers wear Level 3 sunglasses or coated glasses, without compromising the detection and recognition capabilities of vision-AI.
The vision-AI DMS features a 940nm infrared and high-QE sensor, coupled with oToBrite’s proprietary optical design, ensuring clear images in strong light conditions (>120K lux) or during nighttime driving. Additionally, oToBrite’s vision-AI technology optimizes facial image quality, ensuring accurate AI recognition whether driving against sunlight, backlight, or through tunnels.
Miniaturization is a significant trend in driver monitoring applications. oToBrite further emphasizes that, compared to many systems on the market requiring multiple LEDs for sufficient illumination, the DMS only needs one LED to meet the system’s image quality requirements. In terms of hardware technology, oToBrite’s secondary optical system adjusts the LED light source to any angle to meet light distribution needs. Concentrating the light source can double the illumination, producing more reliable images for AI recognition. This also reduces optical component usage, enhances image clarity, and saves installation space and system costs.
According to the 2023 market research report by Gii, the DMS market reached $1.3 billion in 2022, with an expected Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 8.3% by 2028, reaching $20.8 billion. Currently, several countries are drafting or have implemented regulations, and driven by regulatory demand, oToBrite’s compact all-weather vision-AI DMS has begun mass production, contributing to achieving Vision Zero.
