Fujifilm Launches FUJIFILM PROJECTOR ZUH6000
FUJIFILM Corporation announces the launch of the “FUJIFILM PROJECTOR ZUH6000” (FP-ZUH6000), an ultra-short-throw projector capable of projecting 4K images and equipped with the industry's only*1 “folded two-axial rotatable lens.” The FP-ZUH6000 will be available late June 2025. The FP-ZUH6000 is capable of projecting high-definition 4K images thanks to the latest DLP®*2 chip installed in the image processing unit. Furthermore, by enhancing Fujifilm’s unique optical engine, the FP-ZUH6000 achieves color reproduction that is approximately 1.5 times better than that of the current model*3, as well as smoother gradation expression. In addition, the FP-ZUH6000 is the first projector to feature “Film Simulation”*4, which delivers the rich color tones highly regarded by users of the X Series and GFX Series digital cameras. The FP-ZUH6000 offers three “Film Simulation” modes*5, allowing for the projection of images with dynamic tonal expression and subtle color reproduction reminiscent of film, thereby expanding possibilities in spatial design. Additionally, the unique “folded two-axial rotatable lens” enables multi-directional image projection simply by rotating the lens, making it possible to project large screen images from very short distances. This flexibility makes it ideal for creating immersive spaces regardless of the installation environment. FP-ZUH6000 in black FP-ZUH6000 in white These days, projectors are being used more and more for spatial design in commercial facilities, art galleries, museums, and other venues. In particular, there is a rapidly growing need to create immersive spaces by arranging multiple projectors in a single space and combining them to project 360-degree images. In spatial design using multiple projectors, there is a need for higher image quality in the projected images as well as for greater efficiency in image adjustment. In 2019, Fujifilm launched the Z Series projectors, which were the world's first to feature a “folded two-axial rotatable lens”. Since then, Fujifilm has expanded its lineup with the launch of the FUJIFILM PROJECTOR Z8000, which has a high luminance of 8000lm, in 2021, and the FUJIFILM PROJECTOR Z6000, which has a high luminance of 6000lm, in 2022. The Z Series has been highly praised by customers for its exceptional installation flexibility and its impressive range of spatial effects. It has the capability to project images in multiple directions and from very close distances, enabling the creation of large, immersive visuals in various locations. The FP-ZUH6000 is the first projector in the Z Series to support 4K high-definition projection, and it is a projector that effectively creates immersive spaces with its excellent color reproduction and smooth gradation expression. In addition to providing vivid images with a brightness of 6000lm using the latest laser light source technology, it has also been designed to be lightweight (approx. 17.5kg) and compact (486mm wide, 496mm deep, 175mm high). It also comes with a lens shift function that offers the highest level of performance in its class*6, with 82% vertical and 35% horizontal shift. This allows the position of the projected image to be moved over a wide area without changing the position of the projector itself or the direction of the lens, contributing to more efficient image adjustment work. Fujifilm will continue to respond to diverse needs and expand the possibilities of spatial production through the development and provision of projectors that offer high installation flexibility, making the most of its unique optical technology. “FP-ZUH6000” display example (InfoComm China 2025) 4K high-definition image projection creating an immersive space.

Introducing Auto Ears— the Smart Hearing Protection That Automatically Turns On and Off
Auto Ears, the revolutionary new smart hearing protection system designed to automatically adapt to local audio surroundings, is live on Kickstarter with a breakout crowdfunding success story, having already raised over 500% of their initial raise goal. Auto Ears are the world’s first auto on/off electronic hearing protection muffs. Traditional earplugs and muffs block all sound, often making it difficult to hear conversations, music, or enjoy the live experience. Auto Ears solves this by using advanced real-time sound processing to reduce harmful noise levels while preserving situational awareness and speech clarity. The innovative auto on/off design is a first for any over-ear headphones or earmuffs. "Auto Ears are the first over-ear headphones or hearing protectors in the world that power on and off automatically. When you put them on, they turn on instantly for convenience and rapid protection. When you take them off, they turn off instantly to save battery. Multiple companies have tried to do this and failed—but after 3,000 hours and 11 different designs, we succeeded” says founder and CEO Logan Warren on the inspiration behind the project. “Ultimately, I decided to launch my own brand of electronic hearing protection with this auto on/off functionality included, and I am hoping to license the design to a major consumer audio company in the future to enable greater convenience and ease of use for users of over-ear headphones.” Logan further explains, “10 percent of Americans have tinnitus – a permanent ringing in the ears due to hearing damage. Millions more people will get tinnitus in their lifetimes. I have personally had tinnitus since age 13. It ruins quiet nights of camping, and prevents me from ever hearing silence again for the rest of my life. I hope that Auto Ears can help save people from a lifetime of tinnitus by ensuring they have hearing protection that is fast, convenient, and reliable.” Key Features of AutoEars: Automatic Sound Compression: Protects ears by automatically reducing harmful noise levels in real time. Environmental Awareness: Amplifies safe sounds like voices and ambient noise so users can stay alert and connected. Auto On/Off Functionality: Auto Ears are the world’s first auto on / off electronic hearing protection that will only turn on and off when placed on or removed from the-head. Bluetooth + 3.5mm Jack Support Can connect to a radio or phone using either Bluetooth or a wired 3.5mm connection. Designed for Loud Environments: Ideal for concerts, motorsports, construction, hunting, industrial work, and other high-noise settings. Compact and Comfortable Fit: Lightweight and ergonomic design suitable for long wear without discomfort. Included Gel Pads: Gel pads make a much better sound seal over eyeglasses, and provide dramatically enhanced comfort. Auto Ears are not noise cancelling headphones. Noise cancelling headphones do not protect hearing, they block outside sound and conversations. Auto Ears are electronic hearing protectors— they protect hearing from loud sounds, while still allowing wearers to clearly hear the world around them. Users are able to hear a whisper from across the room, while subsequently receiving hearing protection from loud sounds over 83 decibels. “Your phone turns on automatically when you pick it up. Your earbuds turn on automatically when you wear them. Now for the first time, over-ear bluetooth headphones and electronic hearing protection muffs can do the same! They turn on instantly when you put them on. They turn off instantly when you take them off, preventing unexpected battery drain when headphones are left on accidentally!” adds Warren. Auto Ears is currently live and available to support on Kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/autoears/info/description About Auto Ears Auto Ears is pioneering the first true auto on/off design for over-ear headphones and electronic hearing protection muffs. Focusing on making an affordable “premium midrange” electronic hearing protection product, Auto Ears makes electronic hearing protection for tradesmen, hunters, police, factory workers – anyone who needs to enhance their hearing, while protecting their hearing.

Geekey 2.0: The Ultimate Everyday Multi-Tool Returns with Next-Gen Upgrades
Geekey, the viral everyday carry multi-tool, is back with a brand-new model. Geekey 2.0, now live on global crowdfunding platform Indiegogo, reimagines the original design with significant new features and enhanced functionality— all while maintaining the sleek form factor that made the original a favorite among EDC enthusiasts worldwide. Originally launched in 2017, the original award-winning Geekey was a crowdfunding sensation, quickly earning a cult following for packing countless tools into a TSA-compliant device small enough to fit on a keychain. The next-generation Geekey 2.0 takes its form-factor cues by integrating the classic mini Bic® lighter, offering a sleek design that pushes survival multi-tools to the next level. “The inspiration to design Geekey 2.0 came from using so many small solid multi-tools that always seemed to fall short on capability. They would only do a few things well. I wanted to design a multi-tool that would provide more function in a smaller package,” says founder and CEO Brad Sliger. “When I looked for design inspiration for this next generation multi-tool, it made the most sense to stick with a small form factor that was still very portable and could easily fit on your keychain— that is where the ‘key fob’ inspiration came from. In addition, oftentimes in survival situations or when you are just in a remote area, having the ability to make fire can be a critical survival need, and that is where marrying the mini Bic® lighter came into play.” Key features of Geekey 2.0: Mini Bic® Lighter-Integrated Design: Geekey 2.0 is a tightly integrated lighter dock sheath that provides a multi-tool dock to integrate with the lighter.

A Duet of Technology and Aesthetics: Hisense Redefines Future Lifestyles at "CHINA NIGHT"
The 78th Cannes International Film Festival was held in grand fashion from May 13 to 24. Here, cinema serves as a bridge that transcends borders, uniting the finest artistic talents from around the world. Against the backdrop of this romantic and artistically rich setting, the official Cannes Film Market event "CHINA NIGHT" was successfully hosted on the evening of May 15 (local time) at the festival’s official beach venue, Plage des Palmes. The event stood out as a distinctive cultural highlight within the global film celebration. Jointly organized by the Marché du Film (Cannes Film Market), the China Film Producers Association (CFPA), and Wing Sight Media (Beijing), CHINA NIGHT brought together hundreds of international filmmakers, industry leaders, artists, and entrepreneurs to witness a cultural showcase that fused Eastern aesthetics with a global perspective. One of the event’s most anticipated moments was the official launch of the “CHINA FILM+” initiative, a program designed to foster mutual cultural exchange and promote Chinese culture abroad. With a mission rooted in cultural dialogue and global outreach, the initiative aims to build a comprehensive ecosystem that integrates film with a wide range of industries. In an era where technology is profoundly reshaping modern lifestyles, innovations in artificial intelligence, display technologies, and smart home solutions are redefining how we experience entertainment and daily life. This year’s CHINA NIGHT at the Cannes Film Festival placed a special focus on pioneering tech brands, highlighting the synergy between technological advancement and cultural expression. As the official home appliance partner of the event, Hisense played a prominent role, showcasing its industry-leading display technologies and design-driven lifestyle concepts. Through its participation, Hisense made a bold statement about the strength of Chinese innovation and its vision for a technology-enabled, aesthetically enriched way of life—adding a vivid chapter to this celebration of East–West cultural exchange. Technology Illuminates Cinema: Mini-LED Redefines the Visual Experience As a global leader in consumer electronics and home appliances, Hisense captivated international audiences with an immersive experience that fused cutting-edge technology and Eastern aesthetics—showcasing the brand’s technological prowess and its vision for a sustainable innovation ecosystem. At the heart of the CHINA NIGHT exhibition area, Hisense's 100-inch television, equipped with Mini-LED technology, stole the spotlight with its stunning cinematic display quality. This product not only represents the culmination of Hisense’s years of expertise in display innovation but also underscores the role of Chinese enterprises in advancing global film industry standards. From hardware engineering to intelligent image processing algorithms, Hisense is actively redefining what "immersive viewing" means for audiences worldwide. When Design Meets Technology: ASKO Wine Cabinet Embodies Premium Aesthetics As the evening breeze swept across the red carpet and golden champagne bubbles danced through the festivities, ASKO, the luxury home appliance brand under Hisense Group, unveiled its intelligent Triple-Zone Wine Cabinet—a fusion of professional-grade wine preservation technology and refined Scandinavian design. Merging minimalist aesthetics with precise temperature control, the wine cabinet reflected the harmony of technology and artistry in the soft lighting of the exhibition space. As an integral element of the “future lifestyle” experience, the ASKO Triple-Zone Wine Cabinet is not just a functional appliance; it serves as a storytelling centerpiece—much like a cinematic prop—communicating the brand’s unwavering commitment to craftsmanship, detail, and premium living on the global stage. Innovation-Driven Ecosystems: China’s Solutions Connecting the World Amid the global wave of digital transformation, Chinese technology brands are embracing openness and inclusivity—seamlessly blending technological innovation with cultural heritage to build sustainable business ecosystems. Hisense’s presence at CHINA NIGHT embodied this vision in action. From display technologies to smart home ecosystems, Hisense leverages an open and collaborative R&D framework to deeply integrate innovation with cultural expression, delivering smarter, greener lifestyle experiences to users worldwide. On the Cannes stage, Hisense once again demonstrated that Chinese brands are not only participants in global technological advancement but also key architects of future living. The 78th Cannes Film Festival’s official CHINA NIGHT event was more than a celebration of cinematic artistry—it was a pioneering case of cultural innovation on the global stage. The design of the CHINA NIGHT logo itself captures this spirit: incorporating motifs such as a window, lantern, and traditional Chinese knot, it reflects the depth of Eastern cultural heritage while resonating with the visual language of today’s digital, multi-screen era. In this way, CHINA NIGHT serves as a cultural gateway—bridging Chinese brands with international markets and enabling mutual empowerment through global collaboration.

Decant Index Launches Platform That Makes Collecting Fine Wine and Spirits as Accessible as Watches and Sneakers
Investing in wine and spirits once meant gaining access to exclusive networks, private brokers, or established auction houses. That dynamic is changing. Decant Index , a digital platform developed by Decant Group, has introduced a new system that brings structure and visibility to an asset class long considered opaque. With real-time tracking tools and vetted sourcing, Decant Index treats fine bottles like other collectables that have surged in investment interest—luxury watches, rare sneakers, and sports memorabilia. What distinguishes the platform is its focus on infrastructure, offering tools to manage, store, and value physical assets at scale. Wine and spirits are no longer judged solely by taste or provenance; they are now tracked for financial performance. Decant Index operates similarly to platforms such as Chrono24 and StockX, where authenticity, pricing, and market demand guide decisions. Every bottle is part of a data-backed portfolio. Decant Index’s new Wine Cellar Plan offers monthly investments starting at $330. Subscribers can choose from Bronze Plus, Silver Plus, and Gold Plus tiers. Each provides access to curated wine selections informed by global pricing trends, auction performance, and critic scores. Gold Plus members receive added benefits like dedicated account management, private tastings and waived fees. Selections focus on regions with proven resilience—Bordeaux First Growths, Burgundy, Champagne, Super-Tuscans, and premium wines from Napa and the Rhône. Chosen for age-worthiness, scarcity, and resale potential, these wines represent investment-grade assets. Preserving value requires secure storage. In June 2024, Decant Group—under its own brand Decant Bond—opened its bonded warehouse in Alloa, Scotland, with optimal climate control and full insurance. Regular condition updates are provided through the platform. Users receive valuation updates and can exit via private sale, marketplace listing, or auction consignment. Every step—from acquisition to sale—is documented and data-driven. “Some clients build to drink. Others for profit or legacy,” said Alistair Moncrieff, CEO of Decant Group. “We support all those paths.” Investors today expect clarity, liquidity and long-term infrastructure, which Decant Index delivers through its digital services. With over 1,618 exits and $6.1 million returned, Decant Index is helping redefine luxury assets. As it expands into American Bourbon and premium rum, the platform turns physical goods into liquid assets—visible, measurable, and investment-ready. Soon to launch fully into the market, House of Decant is Decant Group’s dedicated e-commerce platform — luxury retail, reimagined. It offers a curated, concierge-led experience with fast delivery, flexible subscriptions, and a home for both heritage labels and emerging brands. "We’re building a platform that redefines how premium wine and spirits are discovered, purchased, and enjoyed — tailored for the expectations of the modern luxury consumer," says Chris Seddon, Managing Director of Decant Group. Shop with House of Decant here . About Decant Group Decant Group leads innovation in the alternative collectables sector, focusing on rare and premium spirits, wine and rum collectables. Through technology-driven solutions and collector education, Decant Group has established itself in the wine and spirit collectables market, serving over 44,000 members and managing $126 million in stored assets.
