Komikon Indieket 2024 Goes Balikbayanihan

Komikon Indieket 2024 marks the return of Komikon events to Bayanihan Center in Pasig City on August 31, 2024, from 10 AM to 8 PM. The Grand Independent Komiks Market theme "Balikbayanihan", is a play on the words "balikbayan" as a returning event and "Bayanihan Center" as the venue. The theme was also inspired by the "#BalikAshcan" virtual discussion during one of the Indie Komiks Podcasts earlier this year. "Balik Ashcan" refers to the goal of going back to the roots of DIY comics to combat the high costs of comic production and to lower the selling price of comics to allow casual or curious readers an affordable way to sample local komik creations.

Komikon Indieket 2024 features comics creator M.A. (Mark) Del Rosario of Paper Drawing Studio, a published author of short stories and graphic novels such as Gods of Manila, Aswang, Kingdom of Tundo, and Tikbalang - A Collection of Stories, both locally and in the U.S. He advocates reading and often tells people to go to libraries, bookstores, and comic shops.

HONOR To Launch AI Eye Tracking Feature soon

#HONORtheChallenger Explores the Potential of Multimodal AI in Supporting People with Reduced Mobility

In the development of new technology, the needs of people with disabilities are sometimes overlooked. International ALS foundations have been championing the cause, trying to raise awareness to encourage innovation that uplifts these communities. Adhering to HONOR’s commitment to human-centric innovation, the company stands as the first smartphone brand to introduce intent-based eye-tracking technology through its MagicOS 8.0 operating system. The AI-powered technology allows users to interact with their phone using just their eyes to open notifications and apps. The company will roll this feature out to global devices from 27th August 2024. 

“ALS is a progressive disease of the nerve cells in which your muscles gradually fail,” explains Limore Noach, executive director of ALS Foundation Netherlands. “Every loss of function is forever,” she says, adding that ALS patients often retain control only of their eye movement in the later stages of the disease. “People who have been diagnosed with a life-changing disease often find a renewed sense of purpose and want to do something meaningful.”
