On July 19, 2021, Huawei launched HMS Core 6.0, a significant update for app developers in Africa, introducing multiple new open capabilities and updating some existing services and features.
With HMS Core 6.0, Huawei is further opening up its advanced technologies in media, graphics, telecommunications, and other fields. For media apps, Huawei provides the AV Pipeline Kit, which includes pre-set pipelines for video super-resolution, sound event detection, and other media services. This addresses audio/video app developers' pain points, such as difficulties with capability building and high power consumption.
In the graphics field, the 3D Modelling Kit offers AI-based capabilities like 3D object reconstruction and material generation for e-commerce and animation apps. This makes it possible to generate 3D models even with mobile phones, as long as there is an RGB camera installed, bringing more fun to user interactions.
Additionally, the Computer Graphics Kit debuts the 'volumetric fog' feature, powered by the volume rendering technique, for dynamic lighting and shadowing fog effects on mobile devices. This feature is available to all Android devices supporting Vulkan, making indoor scenes more realistic for next-generation mobile games, especially for Cyberpunk-style mobile games.
In the telecommunications field, Huawei's Network Kit has updated its AI-powered network environment prediction function. This allows network parameters to be optimized based on service network access rules and differentiated network requirements, thereby reducing apps' network latency by more than 20%.
HMS Core 6.0 also provides other services, such as Membership Kit, Video Editor Kit, and Audio Editor Kit. To learn more, please visit the HUAWEI Developers website by clicking here.
