Transform Your Android Phone into a USB Camera: The Future of Video Conferencing and Streaming

The concept of using your Android phone as a USB camera is becoming a reality. With smartphones now equipped with advanced cameras, this feature has the potential to change the game in terms of video conferencing and streaming. The integration of “DeviceAsWebcam” into Android would allow devices with USB video class support to easily send video feed to other devices like a PC, making the need for expensive webcams a thing of the past. As stated in at Fon Centrala.

The advancements in technology have made it possible for smartphones to handle the processing power required for this feature. The use of the phone as a webcam will likely require its own dedicated app, or alternatively, a background service that starts automatically when the phone is connected to a PC through USB. This service was recently discovered in the Android Open Source Project repository, which is open for contributions under Google’s supervision.

It’s important to note that most Android smartphones already have the video class required for this feature, making it a surprise that it’s only now being developed. However, with the increasing demand for high-quality video for streaming and conferencing, the need for a device with the necessary processing power has become critical.

While Google has not yet confirmed this feature as part of the Android 13 or Android 14 update, the prospect of using your phone as a webcam is certainly exciting. It will allow users to take advantage of their high-end devices in new and innovative ways. With the integration of “DeviceAsWebcam” into Android, the future of video conferencing and streaming looks promising.

BitFall Charity – The Crypto that Prioritizes Charity

Most companies in today’s fast-paced world are obsessed with earning money rather than offering value and ownership to their supporters. For this reason, most communities are seeing a drastic decrease in value as people are choosing to make money rather than supporting projects for their value.

Project of the People


Most blockchain projects are primarily focused on introducing cutting-edge technologies and solutions to real-world problems that will help improve the quality of living on this planet.

Ammbr develops the world’s first Bearer Bond NFT

Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, Nov. 29, 2021 Ammbr Limited today announced delivery of its newly completed Bearer Bond NFT, which makes it possible for clients to wrap digital assets into an NFT, with the bearer being able to claim the assets at the maturity date.

Ammbr limited

The Ammbr Bearer Bond NFT is a standard BEP-721 NFT built on the Binance Smart Chain, which acts as a cryptographic proof of ownership for crypto token virtual assets that are placed in a time-locked smart contract. When the smart contract’s time lock expires, the crypto assets can be claimed. The Bearer Bond NFT allows the holder, or bearer, to claim the unlocked crypto assets from the smart contract.

Bearer bond

NFT stands for “non-fungible token.” The technology allows the ownership of Internet content to be tracked as it is traded to different owners.

“Unlike conventional NFT, which signify ownership of a piece of digital art or animation, the technology that underpins NFT can also be used to tokenise other assets, and this is the direction in which Ammbr is building out its infrastructure,” says Derick Smith, CEO of Ammbr. “Creating an automated and highly efficient process and protocol that delivers functionality that matches market requirements, but without the cost and complexity of traditional finance, is exactly what Ammbr is about.”

Bearer Bond NFT are being tested by select customers and will be made available to the wider public within a few weeks. Compliance with conventional regulations such as anti-money laundering will add to its appeal for institutions and regulated entities.

Ammbr envisions numerous uses for its innovation, including the ability to achieve vesting of crypto tokens from sales to prevent “dumping,” while ensuring buyers have custody and liquidity of their tokens via a secondary NFT market. Ammbr is offering Tokenization as a Service, or TaaS, for virtual, physical and intellectual property assets.

Rakesh Rajagopal, Founder and Chief Strategy Officer for Ammbr Group, is excited by the ever-expanding scope of NFT technology. “We are now only scratching the surface of what can be done,” Rajagopal said. “Our clientele is diverse with commensurately creative ideas for employing blockchain to improve and enhance their businesses.”

Located in Abu Dhabi, Ammbr is a decentralised technology company that develops and operates one of the leading tokenisation platforms that will forever change the way owners and creators of physical, intellectual, and digital assets conceive of ownership, trading, and
interaction.

Ammbr Group is headquartered in the United Arab Emirates, with operations in the United States, Hong Kong, India, South Africa, and Madagascar. It builds digital platforms, with a particular focus on decentralised systems.

Era7: Game of Truth, A Brand New Innovative Play-to-Earn NFT Trading Card Game, Hits GameFi

Singapore, November 12, 2021 -/DailyVoice/- Deploying the concepts of GameFi in the exciting combination of DeFi and NFT technologies, upcoming Play-to-Earn trading card game Era7: Game of Truth has successfully closed its first round of fundraising. Investors include some of the most renowned VCs and institutions in blockchain: Hashkey, Huobi, Okcoin, Binary Capital, DAG, Waterdrip, Dreamseeker, BTC12, Tembusu and Mobox.

Era7 will be launched in Q1 of 2022 and is expected to take the global NFT GameFi market by storm. The game has been developed by core team members who hail from well-known international Korean game manufacturers such as Com2uS, NCsoft, Nexon, and Netmarble, companies with more than 15 years of success in the traditional mobile and online video gaming industry.

Game of Truth is an innovative NFT-based competitive game based on TCG (Trading Card Game) concepts, with its creative essence coming from Hearthstone and Magic The Gathering R&D. Standing on the shoulders of giants, the Era7 team aims to bring innovation even further with the development of its GameFi product.

Players collect cards to fight and they win when their opponents are defeated. Given that the learning curve is not steep, the game appeals to all kinds of gamers – from your housewife and granny demographic to your technophile gaming gurus. Players from all levels will be able to find their place in the game. Moreover, Era7 incorporates a complete economic incentive system with the first batch of NFT drops slated for release in December 2021.

Era7 Combines Play-to-Earn & Play-for-Fun!

According to Newzoo, the overall market of the global gaming industry will reach US$175.8 billion in 2021, the total number of players will reach approximately 3 billion, with esports gamers exceeding 474 million. In 2019, the global Collectible Card Game market size was US$ 9,949.63 million and is expected to reach US$ 27,294.79 million by the end of 2026, with a CAGR of 15.89% during 2020-2026. Aware of the growing gaming market, as early as 2018, Era7 had already successfully developed and perfected its game and to date has amassed a user base of more than 10 million players.

The development team has included NFT concepts and technology which greatly benefit players. The income aspect and the value of the NFT assets will naturally attract a large pool of users to join. Furthermore, the game does not require prior knowledge of cryptocurrencies. Getting started is easy, and offers what every gamer wants – strategy and fun gaming.

Standing Out from the GameFi Competition

There are three ways that Game of Truth differs from other GameFi projects on the market. Firstly, the project’s games are rich in depth and content, providing users with long hours of entertainment. The large and well-designed card system is underpinned by a well-developed numerical system that supports innovative gameplay. The combination of a mildly competitive mode with extensive rich gaming content are not usually available in GameFi.

Secondly, the low threshold for players to get started and the extent of gaming content helps attract gamers from the traditional gaming space to join, creating a huge market when combined with the blockchain/crypto gamers.

Lastly, novice or experienced gamers can all have fun and benefit from play2earn – and that is a truth shared by both developers and players in this brave new horizon of GameFi. Both the project and the players work hand in hand to create an ecosystem of gaming that produces value to mutually benefit both parties.

Top Quality Trading Cards to Fight, Trade or Sell

Traditional TCG users will resonate with the exquisitely designed and excellent quality of all the Era7 cards. Card combination strategies are distinctive, and the game has established a market-oriented approach since the beginning of its game development. Presently, strategy gaming and play2earn, all while having fun, are its highlights.

The game contains 1,000 different cards, each having different values ​​and attributes, bringing players a variety of card combination strategies. A lightly competitive 3-minute game can provide gamers with endless imagination and fun, thanks to the unlimited changes in strategy.

What to Expect in Era7’s Premiere NFT Drop this December!

Era7’s debut NFT launch is planned for December 2021, with the Master Card and Blind Box containing different card highlights.

One billion Era tokens will be issued with more than half of which will be used for in-game incentives. Players can obtain Era tokens through the following: in-game event rewards, participation in daily PVP (player versus player) and various tournaments, land pledges and marketplace purchases. The Era tokens held by the player can be exchanged for cryptocurrency that can be traded on exchanges.

Competitive Gameplay Development, Ecosystem Expansion and UE are underway

Era7 currently offers strategic gaming that provides competitive elements, with a focus on PVP gameplay. The game is designed to successively open up different types of competitions between players, such as ranked games and World Cup games, as well as other gaming activities such as watching and betting. While attracting traditional esport stars to participate, it will also groom and train new Era7 stars.

Plans for 2022 to 2028 include building a scalable competitive ecosystem that will encompass a live broadcast platform, esports community, animation series and GameFi IP. In the future, the most advanced UE engine will be deployed, combined with the Era7 platform to launch a competitive product based on the metaverse.

About Era7: Game of Truth:
Era7: Game of Truth is a Play-To-Earn NFT-based trading card game (TCG). It offers the perfect combination of traditional gaming and decentralized finance (DeFi) to gamers, bringing an entertaining gaming experience while providing an avenue to earn.

First Folio “Fragment” of William Shakespeare’s Henry IV, Published in 1623, will Hit The Auction Block October 29th

Reno, NV, USA, October 22, 2021 -/DailyVoice/- An exceedingly rare First Folio single play “fragment” of William Shakespeare’s The First Part of Henry the Fourth, published in 1623, will be offered during Holabird Western Americana Collections’ Autumn Splendor Western Americana Auction, slated for October 28th-November 1st. The First Folio play will be offered on Day 2 – Friday, Oct. 29th – live and online.

The auction is being held in the Holabird gallery located at 3555 Airway Drive in Reno. Online bidding will be via iCollector.com, LiveAuctioneers.com, Invaluable.com and Auctionzip.com.

The full catalog can be viewed online now, at www.holabirdamericana.com. For those planning to attend the auction in person, regulations and protocols regarding COVID-19 will be enforced.

The First Folio of Shakespeare’s plays has been widely referred to by historians, collectors and scholars as the most important literary work in the English language. It is considered by most of academia to be one of the most important books ever published. It’s impossible to tell what the fragment will ultimately sell for, but Holabird has assigned it an estimate of $50,000-$100,000.

“The possibility of owning a piece of the most important literary work extant is a once-in-a lifetime opportunity,” said Fred Holabird, the president and owner of Holabird Western Americana Collections. “We’re proud to present this original copy of a First Folio fragment of Shakespeare’s The First Part of Henry the Fourth. Its new owner will possess literary history.”

The work’s full official title is The First Part of Henry the Fourth, with the Life and Death of HENRY Sirnamed HOT-SPVRRE. The fragment represents one complete play (in a two-part production of Henry IV) that was published in 1623 in England, in the First Folio of William Shakespeare’s Comedies, Histories & Tragedies, Published according to True, Original Copies.

The First Folio was reportedly compiled and edited by two of Shakespeare’s actors and friends, John Heminges and Henry Condell. It was printed in London by Isaac Jaggard and Edward Blount. The fragment has been rebound in bright red patent leather and consists of 13 pages printed on antique Renaissance rag paper, originally numbered 46,49-62,65-73 in the First Folio.

As an original fragment of Shakespeare’s First Folio, these bound pages are, by very definition, unique. Nowhere else exists a copy of Shakespeare’s original, very first, professionally published copy of The First Part of Henry the Fourth that is identical to this one – from the provenance to the unique watermark design to the old Renaissance rag paper and gold-trimmed red binding.

In September of this year, Dr. Eric Rasmussen, the University of Nevada / Reno Professor and Department Chair of English and Philosophy, a world-renowned Shakespearean scholar and one of the leading experts on Shakespeare’s First Folios, examined the fragment and authenticated it as an original 1623 fragment of Shakespeare’s First Folio. He added its value was “inestimable.”

Inside the front cover of the fragment, a custom book plate is affixed with the name Otto Orren Fisher, a nationally renowned collector of rare books and manuscripts. An industrial surgeon, Dr. Fisher began his hobby of collecting with the goal of owning one rare item in his lifetime. Upon his death in 1961, he owned more than 80,000 rare books that occupied three floors of his home.

Included in his collection were four complete Shakespeare Folios—described as “the first printed collections of English literature’s greatest writer and among the rarest volumes in the world.” In 1949 Dr. Fisher donated all four complete Shakespeare Folios to Miami University, where they are still housed today in the King Library. Extraneous folio fragments remained in his collection.

Rare books containing the Otto Orren Fisher nameplate have surfaced all over the world, many donated to academic institutions’ libraries’ special collections departments, and others appearing in rare book auctions. There are very few sales of First Folio fragments published online, and none are comparable to this one, relative to page count, completeness, binding, and condition.

As Henry IV was one of the most popular of Shakespeare’s plays at the time, copies of this play were highly prized and treasured, and therefore may have had a higher likelihood of surviving three to four centuries. It is possible Dr. Fisher acquired many different fragments of original Folios over the years as he was amassing his rare book collection. But that is pure conjecture.

It is safe to assume, though, given the time period of the binding and the name plate present, that Dr. Fisher had this fragment bound by the London firm Sangorski & Sutcliffe. It’s important to note here that one page is missing from this fragment: it’s printed on both sides and is numbered pages 63/64. Missing pages are rather common for authentic First Folio copies and fragments.

It’s likely the page was known to be absent at the time of binding. Often pages are lost to antiquity and authentic replacements can’t be acquired. According to Dr. Rasmussen, it is not uncommon for fragments and “complete” folios to be bound with many pages missing, as the rarity of original 1623 copies make compiling a truly complete copy of a single play a huge task.

The subject of missing pages has been a topic of much debate; specifically, of how many missing pages is acceptable before a 900-page First Folio no longer qualifies as “complete”. Put in the context of 400-year-old literature, and “complete” copies missing as many as 30-40% of the original pages, only one missing page out of 14 does not significantly affect the condition rating.

Overall, this First Folio fragment is in very fine condition. There are some small chips and tears on the edges of some of the inside thinner paper pages, and the paper is discolored in varying degrees from page to page, commensurate with the fragment’s age – 400 years old. During Dr. Rasmussen’s inspection, nothing concerning about the condition of this fragment was noted.

Geneva, Switzerland, September 24, 2021 -/DailyVoice/- Liti Capital SA, the Swiss-based litigation funding provider disrupting private equity investing with blockchain technology, is launching ScamBusters, a revolutionary new tool that allows users to vote for which crypto-focused cases the company should pursue next.

Devoted to fighting fraud

Liti Capital commits to allocating between 5% and 10% of its yearly investment budget to finance cases that have affected its community members. Any LITI or wLITI token holder can report a purported fraud to the company.

How ScamBusters works

ScamBusters is a community voting event to select which crypto scam cases Liti Capital will sue. LITI and wLITI token holders can use their tokens without spending them to vote for the case(s) they think have the most merit. The more tokens they have, the more voting power they can exercise. Voters of the winning case will share an award up to 250,000 wLITI, distributed pro-rata to their votes.

Once members of the community have submitted cases on the ScamBusters website, Liti Capital instructs its team of legal experts based in 140 countries across the world to explore details of the case.

A selection of cases are then presented back to community members, with the case collecting the highest number of votes being added to Liti Capital’s portfolio. Community voting begins on September 23, 2021, with the first winning case announced on October 15, 2021.

“If cryptocurrency is going to become the de facto way people take part in the Web3 world, trust, regulation and a robust legal system are all parts of that puzzle,” says Jonas Rey, CEO at Liti Capital.
