Blue Hat adds on it’s patent filing that the system’s characteristics include that of simple circuit structure, low manufacturing cost, and easy realization.
An example of the potential presented by Blue Hat’s ‘Interactive System Based on Light Intensity Recognition’ is the company’s AR Racer product, which comprises a toy car fixed onto a smartphone screen and is designed for individuals ages 12 through 28. Blue Hat states that its AR Racer has been successful in the Chinese market, and sales have continued to rise. With over four million users, AR Racer has attracted a global user base with significant player communities in China, Russia, Korea, the UK and Saudi Arabia.
Xiaodong Chen, Chief Executive Officer of Blue Hat, commented: “We believe that the success of our AR Racer product, which incorporates our ‘Interactive System Based on Light Intensity Recognition’, is testament to this technology’s popularity among consumers.” Chen added, “Looking ahead, we intend to develop a wide range of products incorporating this technology to further implement our goal of creating a rich visual and interactive environment for our users, and we intend to ramp up our overseas expansion and continue discussions with distribution partners in the U.S.”
