Parents pay thousands for kids to learn YouTuber skills at summer camps
Parents sending their kids to summer camp is a time-honored tradition. At summer camp, kids learn fun skills like archery, water sports, and crafts, all while forging lifelong friendships with other kids. However, the modern summer camp is shifting with several camps now geared towards one purpose: teaching kids how to be a YouTuber. In a recent article from The Wall Street Journal, reporters dive pretty deep into this relatively new trend of camps designed to give young kids the skills needed to be the next big YouTube star. Some of these camps can run up to $1,000 per week. For example, a YouTube training ground known as Level Up works with kids aged 9-15 and promises to teach them the “skills to create engaging videos.” These skills range from learning how to interview people, how to draft storyboard ideas, and techniques to source and sync audio files.
Editor's Pick
Interestingly, Level Up also focuses on keeping kids — and their parents’ reputations — safe online. “Parents are looking for ways to channel their children’s obsessions into educational opportunities,” Level Up Founder and CEO Jeff Hughes said in an interview with The Daily Dot. “I want to make sure that they are safe online, and if we’re totally honest they want to make sure that their child isn’t going to embarrass them too much online.” Because YouTube’s policies state that kids must be over the age of 13 to have their own channel, the kids at Level Up use accounts run by their parents to upload their videos. This allows parents to have absolute control over their child’s YouTube habits. For the record, YouTube itself doesn’t have any association with Level Up or any other so-called YouTube summer camp.

Android-based WonderOS wants to let you play any game from your phone
For the past couple of years, a fairly mysterious tech startup called Wonder has been teasing us with its plans to offer a high-end gaming experience on your smartphone. One year ago, it revealed in an interview with The Verge that it was working on its own Android smartphone that would have its gaming software installed. Now, the company has relaunched its website, with the first public images of what its WonderOS gaming software will actually look like. Basically, WonderOS is aiming to make your smartphone the only device you will use to play any game, whether it is released for mobile, console, or PC platforms.
Editor's Pick
The site also seems to signal a small change in direction for Wonder. It no longer mentions launching its own smartphone, but its FAQ page does state it is “working with multiple device manufacturers and OEMs to integrate WonderOS on smartphones all over the world.” It is currently signing up users whocould be selected to beta test WonderOS on their phone. What is WonderOS and how will it make video gaming better on phones?So what exactly is WonderOS? According to their relaunched website, think of it as “a Roku of games” that will be so open-ended, it will let you play any kind of game on your phone. In addition to playing mobile games, WonderOS is supposed to let you stream your favorite console and PC games and play them on your phone as well. WonderOS is also supposed to allow players to not only connect and play with other gamers, but they can also livestream their current games for others to check out and watch. The FAQ page says that the core WonderOS platform will be free for gamers, but it will also offer paid options, such as purchasing games directly, or with special membership subscriptions that will add features, including the ability to stream console and PC games and access to a library of premium games for free. While it appears that Wonder won’t sell its own smartphones, it will sell other hardware that will connect to phones with WonderOS installed. That includes a Wonder GamePad, which will allow players to control games on their phone with a console-like experience. There’s also the Wonder Dock, which will allow smartphones to connect to big-screen TVs and monitors, again to better play console and PC-based games. When will WonderOS officially launch?Unfortunately, there’s no word on when the company plans to officially launch WonderOS. As we mentioned before, the site is currently taking signups for gamers to beta test the software. There’s also no word on how much its premium services, gamepad, and dock will cost. Will WonderOS succeed?Wonder is a relatively small gaming startup company, but it definitely has very ambitious plans to turn Android smartphones into a device where owners can play any game they desire. Of course, we are already seeing tons of competition from major companies in this type of gaming space.
Editor's Pick
Microsoft and Google are planning to launch their own streaming game services, (XCloud and Stadia, respectively), later this year. Both are targeting mobile gamers in their quest to offer high-end console gaming to smartphones. Of course, there’s also the Nintendo Switch, which has been highly successful in offering a way for gamers to play its titles on the go with its tablet-like controller. It’s going to be interesting to see if WonderOS will be able to truly offer a one-stop platform for playing any game. Hopefully, with E3 2019 coming up in a few weeks, the company will reveal more info on its plans. from Android Authority https://www.androidauthority.com/wonderos-android-console-pc-gaming-990538/ http://thex-buzz.blogspot.com/2019/05/android-based-wonderos-wants-to-let-you.html May 25, 2019 at 12:32PM

Here are the Stadia details that Google will talk about this summer
With Google set to talk more about its upcoming Stadia game streaming platform this summer, the company announced today on Twitter what some of those details entail. According to the tweet, Google will talk about Stadia’s pricing and launch. Google will also make additional game announcements sometime this summer. The company previously announced that Doom Eternal and Assassin’s Creed Odyssey will be available for Stadia.
We still don’t know what Google means by “this summer.” E3 2019 officially starts June 11, so perhaps Google might make an appearance at the yearly trade event. Alternatively, the company might hold a separate presentation at a date of its choosing.
Editor's Pick
We also don’t know what sort of pricing scheme Google will go with for Stadia. While the trend seems to be to go for subscription tiers, there’s also a possibility that Google will charge people for a set amount of time with each game. Also up for consideration is the price of the Stadia controller. For reference, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 controllers cost between $59.99 and $69.99, depending on the color. Meanwhile, the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller normally costs $69.99. Finally, games will arguably make or break Stadia’s case as a game streaming platform. Stadia already has the support of Bethesda and Ubisoft, two big developers that could announce additional titles for the platform.
