On July 25, the 15-piece collection will be available on Roblox via a pop-up store within the House of Blueberry Experience and will include styles inspired by the legendary clothes worn by Cher, Dionne, and Tai in the hit film, including Cher's yellow plaid suit and red dress and boa.

"As a big Clueless fan myself, it's been so fun to lead the design process for this partnership," said Ashley Hopkins, chief creative officer of House of Blueberry. I believe the collection will be well received by our Roblox community since the classic looks from the film fit into the Y2K theme that our users enjoy both virtually and in real life."

The Clueless x House of Blueberry line can be purchased in an immersive 3D pop-up store inspired by the film, which includes an interactive showroom based on Cher's classic wardrobe.

House of Blueberry, launched in 2012, is the top metaverse fashion brand, selling over 20 million digital assets on platforms such as Roblox, The Sims, and Zepeto.












Jaguar, IBM, & GSMA all advocate for linked vehicle driving.

The IBM Institute for Business Value (IBV) identified data management as one of the most significant difficulties that operators, OEMs, and regulatory agencies will confront as vehicles become more autonomous, forecasting a boom in associated data.

According to research undertaken jointly by the company, industry association the GSMA, and vehicle manufacturer Jaguar Land Rover, the volume of data sent across telecom networks by the connected car sector will increase over the next two years.

According to Siemens research, if 20% of the world's 1.5 billion cars become highly autonomous, it would generate approximately 300 zettabytes of data.

According to Counterpoint Research, connected auto sales topped disconnected models for the first time in 2022, and a CAGR of roughly 17% is expected until 2027 for a total of 367 million vehicles.


Artificial Intelligence

  • According to the organisation, generative AI could be the key to unlocking totally autonomous vehicles by using algorithms to generate fresh content for virtual environments and simulating real-world scenarios for training purposes.

  • Vehicles could also include a generative AI interface, allowing drivers to interact in natural language rather than predefined orders.

  • Non-terrestrial networks are highlighted as a critical component of the connectivity puzzle, offering coverage in locations that ground-based networks cannot reach, while the firms cautioned that this may cost car manufacturers and users more.

  • Hyperscalers with competence in delivering and protecting cloud, IoT, and edge computing could also play an important role in developing new vehicle connectivity services.

The panel observed that industry organisations and governments appear to be on the same page regarding the cellular V2X communication protocol. The GSMA is collaborating with operators, OEMs, and regulatory organisations to create a unified approach to security, regulatory, and infrastructure platforms.


Energy

According to IBM et al, "Data is the new fuel powering modern cars, and networks are the pipelines," but they also underlined the need for increased coverage, data authentication, and cooperation to keep up with the growing number of connected vehicles.

For car connections with other vehicles, pedestrians, traffic systems, and IoT devices, network performance, cybersecurity, and data reliability are becoming safety imperatives.

According to the group, telecommunications service providers have a clear duty to provide high-bandwidth, low-latency, dependable, and secure connectivity services to enable many of the services.

According to Juniper Research, the operator opportunity for 5 G-connected automobiles alone is $3.6 billion.

In addition to operators, vehicle manufacturers, governments, industry associations, intelligent traffic system developers, and cloud providers must work together to create an ecosystem that will allow the sector to thrive.








Will Ethereum metaverses be transformed by ERC 6551 NFT-owned wallets?

A recent episode of the Unchained podcast addressed how ERC 6551 could revolutionise the crypto market by providing NFTs with their own wallets. The planned ERC 6551 token standard for NFTs has piqued the curiosity of crypto fans since it would allow digital assets to hold other tokens, a development that has the potential to radically alter the NFT and metaverse scene.

What exactly is ERC 6551?

The token standard proposal, announced in February, aims to create a system that provides a smart contract account to every ERC-721 (non-fungible token). These tokens will be able to hold assets and interact with applications without requiring any changes to existing ERC-721 smart contracts or infrastructure.

The key components of this system are a permissionless registry for deploying token-bound accounts and a standard implementation interface.

Each ERC-721 coin will be assigned a unique smart contract account, allowing it to interact with the blockchain, record transaction history, and possess on-chain assets. The owner of the ERC-721 token has control over each token-bound account, allowing them to initiate on-chain operations on behalf of their token.

The proposal aims to be as backward compatible as possible with existing non-fungible token contracts. EIP-155 chain IDs are also used to uniquely identify ERC-721 tokens, allowing for the optional support of multi-chain token-bound accounts.


What are the benefits of ERC 6551?

The ERC 6551 standard was a potential solution to past attempts to standardise NFTs owning assets, such as the requirement for custom logic in their smart contract. The ERC 6551 standard eliminates these limitations by offering NFTs the same rights as Ethereum users, allowing them to hold assets and execute actions.

While ERC 721, ERC 1155, and soul-bound tokens exist as means to own objects on Ethereum, the podcast panelists emphasised that ERC 6551 is not a token standard in the traditional sense because it offers every current ERC 721 its own wallet, unlocking a new layer of compatibility for NFTs.
