New program offers Lalamove partner drivers added benefits

Lalamove has been providing reliable delivery services since 2016. Operating nearly five years in the Philippines, the organization has successfully created an ecosystem of welfare for their partner drivers through a long list of benefits through their Panalomove program. Present in Manila, Cebu, and just recently, Pampanga, Lalamove continues to enhance the wide array of benefits and assistance services Lalamove and its partners have to offer.

Lalamove officially launched the #UpgradeSaBuhay campaign where all partner drivers are made aware that they can level up their life and be the best version of themselves together with Lalamove. With this campaign, the delivery app aims to continuously improve its services by giving generous incentives and multi-functional benefits to support, motivate, and empower partner drivers.

These include personal benefits such as personal accident insurance, free medical consultation and many more. Vehicular support will also be given to these verified partner drivers through various fuel discounts, vehicle maintenance services, and even vehicular acquisition through the support of Panalomove partners.

The e-identification card of all verified partner drivers fundamentally opens doors to a lot of welfare offerings of Lalamove’s #UpgradeSaBuhay. While some of Lalamove’s benefits partners like vehicle financing may require additional documents to claim products or services.

“Para sa akin magandang tulong po yung benepisyo ng Lalamove kasi po sa kalsada po kami nag tratrabho. Syempre po kapag po may aksidente, maganda po yung kahit papaano, may konting tulong po kaming makukuha.” shares Mark Ericksson Crespo, Lalamove Partner Driver

“Malaking tulong ang vehicle maintenance benefits ng partners ng Lalamove dahil kailangang kailangan namin ang aming sasakyan para kumita.” shares John Malanom, Lalamove Partner Driver

“Importanteng lagi kaming may load para sa pantawag at data kasi ito ang paraan para makakuha ng booking at makatawag sa mga kliyente. Nakakatuwa na pwede kaming makakuha ng murang cellphone at pang load tulong ng Lalamove.” said Lalio Montibon, Lalamove Partner Driver

“To date, we have a total of 36 partners in our Panalomove program, with the initial goal to equip our Partner Drivers with the essentials in addressing their personal and vehicular needs. We hope that with our #UpgradeSaBuhay campaign, more and more partner drivers will become financially independent and safe on the road, especially during this pandemic.” said Dannah Majarocon, Managing Director of Lalamove Philippines.

Here’s a quick look at PS5’s next-gen VR controller

03/20/2021

Following the recent reveal of Sony Interactive Entertainment’s next-generation virtual reality system for PS5, the company excited to unveil more details about the new controller that will play a critical role in providing gamers with the VR experience it’s working to deliver.

The new VR controller speaks to the brand’s mission of achieving a much deeper sense of presence and a stronger feeling of immersion in VR experiences. It will build upon the innovation introduced with the DualSense wireless controller, which changed how games “feel” on PS5 by unlocking a new way to tap into the sense of touch. Now the company is bringing that innovation to VR gaming.

Design

The first thing you’ll notice with its next-gen VR controller is the unique design, which takes on an “orb” shape that allows you to hold the controller naturally while playing with a high degree of freedom. There are no constraints with how you’re moving your hands, providing developers with the ability to create unique gameplay experiences.

The new controller is also designed with great ergonomics in mind, so it’s well-balanced and comfortable to hold in each of your hands. They applied learnings from testing users with a range of hand sizes, as well as the decades of insights from controllers across all PlayStation platforms. The result is an iconic design that will change how VR games are played.

Features

The new VR controller enables players to feel and interact with games in a much more visceral way. There are several features, including key features from the DualSense controller, which match the vision for what next-generation VR games can be.

Adaptive triggers: Each VR controller (Left and Right) includes an adaptive trigger button that adds palpable tension when pressed, similar to what’s found in the DualSense controller. If you’ve played a PS5 game, you’ll be familiar with the tension in the L2 or R2 buttons when you press them, such as when you’re drawing your bow to fire an arrow. When you take that kind of mechanic and apply it to VR, the experience is amplified to the next level.

Haptic feedback: The new controller will have haptic feedback optimized for its form factor, making every sensation in the game world more impactful, textured, and nuanced. When you’re traversing through a rocky desert or trading blows in melee combat, you’ll feel the difference, magnifying the extraordinary visual and audio experience that’s so central to VR.

Finger touch detection: The controller can detect your fingers without any pressing in the areas where you place your thumb, index, or middle fingers. This enables you to make more natural gestures with your hands during gameplay.

Tracking: The VR controller is tracked by the new VR headset through a tracking ring across the bottom of the controller.

Action buttons/analog sticks: The Left controller contains one analog stick, the triangle and square buttons, a “grip” button (L1), trigger button (L2), and Create button. The Right controller contains one analog stick, the cross and circle buttons, a “grip” button (R1), trigger button (R2), and Options button. The “grip” button can be used to pick up in-game objects, as one example.

SIE’s Product, Engineering, and Design teams have collaborated to build our new VR controller from the ground up with the goal of making a huge leap from current-gen VR gaming. The company is thrilled with the controller that was developed, but what matters now is how game creators will take advantage of the features to design the next generation of VR experiences. Prototypes of the new VR controller will be in the hands of the development community soon, and SIE can’t wait to see what ideas they come up with and how the controller helps bring their imagination to life!
