LAS VEGAS, Jan. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- XGIMI, the award-winning projector and laser TV brand, is showcasing its latest concept product, XGIMI Ascend, at CES 2025. This new technology represents XGIMI's forward-thinking approach to home entertainment, blending a motorized Ambient Light Rejection (ALR) screen and two premium Harman Kardon soundbars in a seamless, motorized, compact design. XGIMI's continued commitment to expanding the possibilities of immersive viewing experiences in any living space will be on display at CES 2025, where attendees can go hands-on with Ascend and other incredible XGIMI technologies, during Pepcom 2025 at Caesar's Palace, in Las Vegas.
A New Level of Versatility in Home Entertainment: Introducing XGIMI Ascend and Enhancing AURA 2
The Ascend concept introduces a 100-inch motorized floor-rising screen, elegantly designed to elevate home entertainment with unparalleled ease and sophistication. Ascend pairs seamlessly with the AURA 2, XGIMI's latest ultra short-throw projector, creating a harmonious blend of cutting-edge technology and refined design for the ultimate home cinema setup. Engineered to function both as a cinematic screen and an ambiance-enhancing display, Ascend offers remarkable versatility, allowing users to adjust the screen to just one-third of its height, creating a cozy, fireplace-like ambiance that transforms the room. Alternatively, it can extend to its full 100-inch display, delivering a true cinematic experience. With a wide-viewing angle and advanced contrast ratio enhancement that rejects ambient light, Ascend provides exceptional clarity and vibrancy across various lighting conditions, making it ideal for any space.
Ascend's sleek design resonates with the innovative aesthetics of AURA 2, XGIMI's latest ultra short-throw projector. The AURA 2 features a sophisticated Auto Lens Cover with motorized wing-like doors that open and close seamlessly, protecting the lens while adding a touch of modern elegance. This cohesive approach to design unites Ascend and AURA 2 into a harmonious pairing, reflecting a shared vision of blending cutting-edge technology with refined artistry.
Both Ascend and AURA 2 redefine home entertainment, combining exceptional visuals with unmatched audio. AURA 2 delivers a truly cinematic sound experience with its built-in 60W Harman Kardon speakers by DTS:X® and Dolby Atmos® immersive audio, and Dolby Vision® HDR imaging, immersing viewers in rich, multidimensional soundscapes and vivid images with remarkable brightness, contrast, and color. Ascend offers an alternative audio output option with its premium Harman Kardon soundbars, transforming any room into a next-level home cinema.
An Eye on Future Innovation
While still a concept product, Ascend signals XGIMI's vision for future advancements in home entertainment, pushing the boundaries of what's possible through creative engineering and design. Ascend's potential to deliver cinematic-quality experiences in a convenient, all-in-one format exemplifies XGIMI's commitment to evolving its projector lineup with innovative accessories and solutions that elevate at-home viewing. It's the ultimate solution for home theater enthusiasts, offering a space-saving and immersive experience, thanks to the ultra short-throw design and built-in sound from the screen.
"We're thrilled to introduce Ascend at CES 2025 and showcase our latest technological explorations," said Apollo Zhong, CEO of XGIMI. "Ascend is a symbol of our dedication to continuous innovation in home entertainment and a testament to our drive to provide users with powerful, elegant solutions that enhance their everyday lives.

XGIMI Unveils New Concept Product at CES® 2025
GUANGZHOU, China, Jan. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Recently, GAC's independently developed Quark E-Drive power domain control system has achieved the world's first dual certification for deeply integrated ASIL D functional safety and information security, accredited by DAkkS, Germany's national accreditation body. The certification was evaluated and issued by SGS-CSTC Standards Technical Services Co., Ltd. (SGS), a globally recognized certification authority.
ISO 26262 is the internationally recognized core standard for automotive functional safety. Within this framework, ASIL D represents the highest automotive safety integrity level, requiring near-zero tolerance for safety-critical failures. Achieving an ASIL D certification accredited by DAkkS signifies that the certified product meets the highest globally accepted standards for automotive safety.
The certified Quark E-Drive power domain control system has been in production use since February 2025, and is now deployed across multiple models under GAC's brands - HYPTEC and AION. As the industry's first electric drive power domain system based on deep integration using a single main control chip, the solution significantly reduces chip count, minimizes risks associated with chip-level failures, and boosts motor controller efficiency to as high as 99.9%. The certification confirms that GAC has completed the system's full product development lifecycle in strict compliance with ISO 26262:2018 functional safety and ISO/SAE 21434:2021 information security standards.
Throughout the project, GAC Technology Research Center worked closely with SGS experts, strengthening safety design across all development phases while ensuring engineering feasibility and an optimal user experience.
Zhao Hui, Vice President of SGS China, commented: "The successful certification highlights GAC's strong team and robust development systems. We are pleased to support the safety of the Quark E-Drive and look forward to closer collaboration."
This milestone represents a major breakthrough for GAC in e-drive safety and sets a new global benchmark for the intelligent electric vehicle industry.
