Leading Augmented and Mixed Reality Optical Display Developer Lumus Ltd. Raises $15M to Scale Expansion

Funding Led by Shanda Group and Crystal-Optech

Lumus Ltd., a leading developer of high-end transparent near-to-eye displays for augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR) and smart eyewear,announced today that it has received $15 million of funding led by Shanda Group, a global private investment group, along with Crystal-Optech, a leading Chinese photo-electric component manufacturer. Lumus will use the funding to scale up production of its market-leading, patent-protected optical technology for the emerging consumer market. Lumus develops and sells transparent displays to companies working on developing consumer and enterprise AR solutions.

The augmented and mixed reality market is predicted to grow dramatically over the next several years, according to new research from MarketsandMarkets, which asserts that the AR market will be worth $80 billion by 2022. More aggressive forecasts from DigiCapital predict an even brighter future, projecting $120 billion revenue by 2020. Growth is clearly evident today, DigiCap reports—while 2015 AR investments totaled $700 million, AR and virtual reality investment has already reached $1.1 billion during Q1 2016, a 20 percent jump from Q4 2015. “Interest in [AR] is off the charts,” Tom Mainelli of IDC writes. “Once you experience it, you realize this technology feels truly important.”

Consumer electronics and smart-eyewear manufacturers use Lumus for the underlying optical technology in their see-through wearable displays. Founded in 2000, Lumus is the gold standard for transparent displays based on its patented Light-guide Optical Element (LOE) waveguide, which always allows for the smallest form factor irrespective of the field of view. The Lumus DK-50 development kit, introduced earlier this year, offers AR creators a fully mobile, wireless, comprehensive stand-alone binocular display development kit.

“With this financing Lumus will move rapidly toward bringing our revolutionary optics technology to consumer applications,” Lumus CEO Ben Weinberger says. “Our production ramp-up is driven by demand for Lumus displays to power high-end augmented and mixed reality applications.”

“Lumus provides innovative, ground breaking optical technology for augmented reality and mixed reality that has been highly recognized industry-wide, and that is the main driver behind our leading this round of financing,” says Tianqiao Chen, Chairman and CEO of the Shanda Group. “We believe that Lumus is poised to solidify its leading position in transparent optical display as AR and MR applications are taking off.”

The Lumus near-to-eye display technology consists of the patented Light-Guide Optical Element—a unique eyeglass lens that contains an array of ultra-thin transparent reflectors—and a small, patented mini-projector that injects an image into the lens. Together they offer a wide field of view, true color, brightness that enables daytime reading, and a crystal clear see-through display. With Lumus technology, wearable eyeglass displays can now be compact, comfortable, and fashionable for the first time.

About Lumus

Lumus (www.lumusvision.com) optics enable the fusion of the digital and physical world, allowing businesses and individuals to maximize the potential of augmented reality and smart eyewear today. Lumus technology makes possible the most natural-looking eyewear, wide field of view, and true see-through performance available today. The augmented reality technology developed by Lumus is in fact already being used by leading consumer electronics and smart-eyewear manufacturers to develop future products. Additionally, health care, military aviation, and logistics are among the industries that rely on Lumus for the optical technology underlying their pioneering AR applications.

About Shanda Group 

Shanda Group is a global private investment group that actively seeks global opportunities with substantial growth or unique breakthrough potential. The company was founded by Chairman and CEO Tianqiao Chen and his family in 1999 and was the first Chinese online gaming company listed on the NASDAQ in 2004. Shanda’s success in the online entertainment industry has led to its transformation into a global investor with a strong focus in cutting-edge technology.

About Crystal-Optech

 Zhejiang Crystal-Optech Co., Ltd., is a national high-tech enterprise founded on Aug. 02, 2002 and listed in the Shenzhen Stock Exchange on Sep. 19, 2008 (stock code: 002273). The company is a domestic enterprise specializing in the research, development, and manufacturing of optical imaging, LED, micro display and reflective materials used in a range of products, including digital imaging lenses.

HoloFilm CEO Brian Shuster Shares His Vision HoloGirlsVR & Adult VR Porn

1. What is HoloGirls VR’s vision?

HoloGirlsVR.com was brought into existence as the result of a Indiegogo campaign that was supported by almost every major company and performer in the adult entertainment business.

Our mission is to revitalize the whole adult entertainment space by bringing together the very best artists, directors, studios and technology.  We have a wonderful team of creative and inspired porn-lovers who are constantly working to figure out new and better ways to use VR to deliver experiences that are ground-breaking and breathtaking.

If everything works out the way we plan, our techniques and technology will get into the hands of producers everywhere, so that this new medium can revitalize and invigorate a whole new era of adult entertainment.

Of course, we have our feet planted firmly on the ground, so we are walking before we run.  We are proud to have produced scenes that are critically acclaimed and that are some of the hottest VR experiences that have ever been made; and our short-term vision is to continue to listen to what our customers like and want, and to make more and better scenes every week.

2. What is HologGirls VR‘s plan in 2016?

We are already outputting three complete scenes every week, and we’ve begun to introduce brand new niches in VR (like our upskirt/face-sitting collection and our Joanna Angel collection).

We have been on a hiring and training spree, and we’ve been buying more and more camera rigs and hardware so that we can ramp up our output even more.

In 2016, we are looking to continue to expand our offerings with some brand new kinds of VR scenes that have never been shot before, but also in a wide range of niches with very well known directors.

We hope to be delivering a scene a day by the end of the year, with some very surprising kinds of content that will really delight our members! 

We are also working with other major VR studios in an effort to make VR easier for customers to access.  We hope this effort can lead to a standardized-player, as well as discounted prices for memberships among participating companies.  These efforts are in the early stages, but we are finding that the other studios are mostly run by people like ourselves – who just want to see VR take off and deliver on its promise.  So we are very encouraged with the comradery.

3. Which adult convention or events will HoloGirls VR attend in 2016?

We always attend AVN/AEE in Las Vegas and the XBiz convention in Los Angeles.  This year we have had a presence at XBiz Miami as well. 

Other than those shows, we mostly decide on conventions only one or two months prior to the shows. 

4. HoloGirl’s VR is known for one of the hottest lineups, who are some up and coming pornstars that will be joining HoloGirl’s VR?

One of the most exciting things about HoloGirlsVR is that we have now begun to develop brand new talent. 

We have a roster of girls lined up for an audition per day over a two-week period in June who have all never shot anything before.  This will become a new “Very First Time” Collection for the site!

In addition, we are sourcing out the talent for our next major porn-star shoot in July.  That shoot will bring back a few of the biggest favorites, along with some of the most requested girls.  The problem with giving any names here is that we sometimes have last-minute changes to the line-up.  But rest assured, the performers coming up will include current and future award-winning ladies!

5. Is HTC supported by HoloGirls VR?

Yes, the Vive is an excellent headset, and it is fully supported!

6. What makes HoloGirls VR different than other VR Porn productions?

Adult VR experiences are unlike any kind of porn that has ever been produced before.  We aren’t just making a movie, we know we are producing an Experience.  For us at HoloGirls, there’s a huge difference.

We consider the comfort of the viewer when they are watching the scene.  That means we are very careful about where we position the cameras so that the viewer is able to take in the scene in a comfortable position (not forcing them to crane their neck, or hold their head/headset at an uncomfortable angle). 

We offer unique kinds of content that can only be watched in VR, like Face-sitting, and we have developed a wide range of cameras and camera-rigs that we use to make sure we are using the right cameras for the scene we shoot (we don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach as every other studio currently does).

This means we have a special VR camera rig to shoot POV, a different one to shoot upskirt, a different one to shoot close-up scenes, and several other rigs to shoot our newest content that is going to get released later this year!

Other things that we are very proud of include that we provide viewers with a “recommended viewing position” for each video.  This way, they can know how to get themselves situated for the maximum enjoyment of each video; and we shoot using a technique called, “NoSick™”, which virtually eliminates any VR sickness even from very sensitive viewers.

All told, we are committed to bringing the very best possible adult entertainment to our members, and making it as easy and practical as can be.  We want the entire world to embrace VR, and we hope to lead by example for a “best-practices” for this new industry.

7. Where do you see VR porn and VR in the next 5 to 10 years? 

HoloGirls has already been working with some of the biggest manufacturers of adult sex toys to deliver a new kind of integrated VR experience.  Based on many meetings and strategic alliances, and I say with a great deal of certainty that VR porn and VR in general will be the primary mode by which most human interaction takes place within a 10 year horizon.

Long before that, we will see much lighter, better and more mobile headsets.  The adoption of VR by the masses will take place within the next two years, and the kinds of adult VR experiences that will be enabled by the mix of haptics and lighter/better HMD’s will lead to a kind of merging of sex and VR that I call, “The Sexual Singularity.” 

The Sexual Singularity will be the blurring of the line between what is real sex and what is porn.  Remote sex with live partners will become very realistic and will offer many advantages over either porn or real sex (such as being able to connect with anyone at any distance, and seeing them in an idyllic form; and no risk of STDs or pregnancy).

Recorded VR experiences like the ones we can experience today will also improve dramatically.  The added sense of touch will make these experiences much more lifelike and realistic.  This will lead to an explosion of niches in VR porn so that every reasonable fetish will be available on-demand.

I predict that the VR revolution is going to be bigger than the Internet revolution was 20 years ago.  We are at the comparable stage to when people were connecting with their brand new 9800 baud modems.  Five years later, people could hardly even remember a time before the Internet.  VR will be an even more significant part of everyone’s lives in 2021 – and, as always, porn will be the content that brings it all about!  

8. We’ve noticed that some of the most recent HoloGirls VR campaigns are featuring pornstars with tattoos, is HoloGirls VR targeted niche?

One of the first producers that HoloGirls brought in was Joanna Angel.  She has been producing some of our hottest alternative videos! 

We’ve also begun working extensively with Samantha Mack and Mistress T to deliver to those niches as well.

As we move forward, you can expect to see more and more directors and producers putting out content under the HoloGirlsVR umbrella web-site!

About HoloGirls VR

HoloFilm Productions, a leading developer of content solutions and adult virtual reality (VR) technology, is bolstering its library of erotic content for new XXX site HoloGirlsVR.com with its third all-star porn shoot, bringing together the top performers within the industry.  Joining the group of HoloGirls that already includes last year’s AVN Performer of the Year and Best New Starlet, this shoot will include this year’s top award winners.

Benjaminsson spent the last five years in senior technical leadership roles leading up to becoming the senior development director at Frostbite Labs, the team inside EA exploring new opportunities to create breakthrough experiences like VR.

Prior to this, he was the CTO of Easy Studios and lead programmer at EA’s DICE and spent nearly a decade as a systems architect and consultant in the web and telecom spaces. Odeldahl was the design director leading the charge behind Mirror’s Edge Catalyst for EA DICE, where he spent over a decade working on most of the studio’s major titles as a designer or lead programmer. Prior to that he was a programmer across several studios working on games and other applications.

Fast Travel Games’ advisors include Mojang’s production director, Daniel Kaplan; Avalanche Studio’s founder and CCO, Christofer Sundberg; Paradox Interactive’s COO, Susana Meza Graham; and Peter Zetterberg, director on the Microsoft Minecraft team.

“The team’s rich history of creating hit games across mobile, AAA, multiplayer and beyond, will allow them to bring a unique blend of skills that bode well for delivering quality IP for VR. They’ll also benefit from serving as magnets for the very best talent, creating what will no doubt be one of the top VR-focused games companies,” added Nikolaj Nyholm, partner at Sunstone Capital.

THE VOID Launches Ghostbusters: Dimension, an Immersive Hyper-Reality Experience Powered by Unity Technologies 3D engine at Madame Tussauds New York

Unity, the largest global development platform for creating 2D, 3D, VR and AR games and experiences, today announced a new and truly unique virtual reality (VR) experience “Ghostbusters: Dimension” has been built using the Unity Technologies platform. Led by tech innovators THE VOID, the experience was created in partnership with Sony Pictures, Madame Tussauds New York, and Ghost Corps.

Ghostbusters: Dimension Created by The VOID VR

In Ghostbusters: Dimension, THE VOID’s proprietary hardware and software allow guests to step beyond reality and into the world of the Ghostbusters. Based on the new movie, this first-of-its-kind, Hyper-Reality experience blends real world physical environments with a unique untethered virtual reality (VR) setup that uses real-time interactive effects powered by the Unity Platform and 3D engine.

“This is precisely the kind of innovative use of VR that Unity is now powering with our 3D engine and platform,” said Clive Downie, CMO Unity Technologies.  “With an untethered VR experience that allows people to roam freely and interact with a physical world that matches the digital one they are seeing, consumers will have whole new levels of delight as they lose themselves in another realm.  It’s giving presence to interactive storytelling putting people into the Ghostbusters world with high definition, high frame rate high excitement action, powered in part by Unity.”

Audiences get to experience what it’s like to be a Ghostbuster, tracking and trapping a supernatural foe through a New York apartment complex. The entire experience lasts about 15 minutes, with up to three people at a time and is scheduled to open to the public at Madame Tussauds New York on July 1, 2016 as an add-on to their Ghostbusters Experience.

“The Ghostbusters world is the perfect fit for THE VOID because you literally strap our RAPTURE gear on and it turns into your proton pack and proton gun,” said James Jensen, Chief Visionary Officer at THE VOID. “One of the key components to powering this experience is a powerful 3D engine, and Unity was the obvious choice. Their VR platform allowed us to rapidly iterate on our ideas, while offering us an editor that lets us focus on storytelling instead of being bogged down in writing a lot of code.”

Born to race

Max Emilian Verstappen was born on September 30th 1997 in the Hasselt hospital. Max showed excellent timing as it meant both parents could enjoy the company of Verstappen junior before Jos traveled to Suzuka to contest the Japanese Grand Prix for Tyrrell ten days later.

That Max is born with an extraordinary racing talent does not come as a surprise as Jos is a thoroughbred racer. However, mother Sophie proved a fast driver on the track too, as she beat several F1 drivers in karting events. No wonder Max was spotted at several karting circuits before he was able to walk. Without a doubt, racing is in his blood!”

Red Bull’s Max Verstappen made Formula One history when, at the age of 18, he became the sport’s youngest-ever winner with victory in the Spanish GP after the two Mercedes collided on the first lap and went out of the race.

Sport360 Interviews Max Verstappen

As Monaco approaches this weekend, he spoke to Sport360 about how he feels now his fantastic achievement has had time to sink in and what he expects for the rest of the season.

Q. Tell us how you feel now about being F1’s youngest grand prix winner. What sort of reaction have you had since last Sunday and were you expecting victory to come so early?

A. It was of course a great achievement to win. I have had a few days now to really realise what happened and yes it feels great. It’s a great feeling and achievement for the whole team I think, we took our opportunities after the crash of the Mercedes cars so I am very happy to win.

Q. How are you going to follow such a momentous weekend? Do you think you can win more races this season?

A. To be honest I will just approach every race like I always do, try to do my best and from there on see what happens. I think you have to be realistic, Mercedes is pretty fast so we just need to keep pushing and hope that’s enough to at least score some podiums.

Q. Many have spoken about your incredible maturity but do you think being so young brings additional pressure?

I think you always have pressure but for me at the moment it’s just positive pressure. I’m enjoying what I’m doing, I like to drive the car and I think if you are a happy person and you feel well in the team, you can produce the performance.

Q. What sort of feedback have you had from world champion Lewis Hamilton and former champions Sebastian Vettel, Fernando Alonso, Kimi Raikkonen, Jenson Button, and other drivers? What sort of things have they been saying to you?

A. Well from Lewis not so much, I think he was pretty disappointed after his race. From the other guys very positive and very happy for me, which is very nice to see. Especially with Seb on the podium, he told me “Max you should go back on the podium and just celebrate it on your own”, so it was very nice to see that. There is a lot of respect between all the drivers.

Q. What did team owner Dietrich Mateschitz and Christian Horner say to you after your win? How did team-mate Daniel Ricciardo react after his unfortunate puncture on the penultimate lap which wrecked his chances?

A. Daniel was very happy for me, he said congratulations on your first victory. It was a great shame he was not there with me because I think he had a great chance to also get to the podium. Mr. Mateschitz was also very happy, you could see he was smiling a lot and also congratulated me and said we did a great job. Christian was also very happy, I think nobody really expected it but just a great achievement.

Q. Were you surprised when you replaced Daniil Kvyat in the Red Bull team?

A. I was a bit surprised it would happen in the middle of the season, but when you get that chance you take it and we have started off in a very positive way.

Q. Tell us a little bit about your childhood and when you realised you wanted to follow your father Jos into Formula One. There is often additional pressure on sons of former F1 drivers to do well. Did you feel any pressure as you made your way into F1?

A. Yes, the whole family was racing so I think it was quite obvious I would start racing. But it’s important you have to enjoy it yourself. Luckily, my parents never pushed me into it, they just let me do what I enjoyed and that was racing. It started off as a bit of fun in Go Karting and then with a lot of help from my dad we have got to Formula 1.

Q. How difficult is it to get into Formula One and apart from being quick, what is the main characteristic you need to succeed in this sport?

A. All the people in Formula 1 are very talented but talent alone is not enough, you have to work hard also to achieve the best result possible. It’s not just doing a great lap but also spending time with your engineers to improve the car, to improve yourself every time.

Q. Your dad has obviously been hugely influential in your career so far. Tell us about that and his decision to now take a step backwards from being so directly involved and let others take your career to its next level. How has the rest of your family supported you and how did they react after your win?

A. I don’t really see him taking a step backwards. We are now in a top team so there is not much more he can do. He is still there like he also was in Toro Rosso but its not really a step backwards. He advised me a lot in Go Karts and Formula 3 so for sure if it wasn’t for him I would not be here now.

Q. Apart from your father, which Formula One driver has been the biggest inspiration for you?

A. You have a lot of respect for people and their achievements in the sport but there is not one person in particular I really look up too.

Q. Who do you see as your main rival among the young drivers now coming into Formula One?

A. To be honest, I don’t really know, it depends a lot on which car they get. A lot of young drivers are very quick but you also need a good car around you to get the performance out.

Q. Red Bull have struggled a little bit over the past couple of seasons with engine issues. They are now clearly on the way back. Do you think you can now compete with Mercedes and Ferrari on a regular basis or is the world title too big an ask this season?

A. I think Mercedes is still a bit far ahead but we get some updates very soon so hopefully that will bring us a bit closer. Like you can see in Barcelona, we were fighting with Ferrari so this is already very positive. We are definitely on the way back to winning more regularly.

Q. What other sports do you enjoy and follow? Do you have any other hobbies?

A. Go Karting and basically anything with an engine on I pretty much enjoy.

Q. What music do you enjoy?

A. All different kinds of music, 90’s, pop music, dance music, rock music so pretty much anything. It depends on what kind of mood you’re in.”

Q. What is your favourite movie?

A. Step Brothers.

Q. Favourite food?

A. Carpaccio.

Q. What road car do you drive?

A. Aston Martin.

Q. Favourite holiday destination?

A. Milton Keynes…(laughs) No I haven’t found that one yet.

Q. Finally, Monaco is next up. What are your chances there?

A. We have a good chance of a podium because our car should be pretty strong there. We haven’t driven the new car there this year so I’ll just take it easy and we’ll see what happens. You need to have good feelings on the street circuit because it’s all about confidence so from there we will keep pushing and see what happens.

The video to be found in the Gates Notes site showcase him and Warren Buffet, the noted investor; post a blog where they get together for snacks and a ride on the golf cart as well as sings as Warren plays the ukulele. Check out the video on this page!
The video has great appeal, especially the part where Bill Gates gets over his initial hesitation and joins Buffett when he plays and sings the song I’ve Been Working on the Rail Road. The informal video definitely works towards cementing their friendship that began about 25 years ago when Gates met Buffett when he was visiting his mother. Both today share common insights in business as well as common passions.

The song is only for a few seconds who can be watched in the browser, but it can also be viewed with the Gates Note link or by trying out the Google Cardboard app through a headset. Gates is exploring ways of harnessing the VR technology and how it can be used to document footages in developing countries. His former company is planning to create a console for VR apps to run.

How Jaunt And Paul McCartney Are Using VR To Bring Storytelling Into Music?

Gateway to the past

If you are looking at the way liner notes were designed, you would be transported to another world if you remember the piercing images of your favorite artists and the details about an album or its creation that would be detailed on the laminated pages. McCartney has probably been the smaller figure of the collages you might have seen of the Beatles, but he is the one who exists to tell the tales of these legendary singers. There are many portraits, some taken by the singers caught unawares in their act of singing or performing which make them memorable the most.

The loss of liner notes

Today all the streaming services have made us lose out the glamor of liner notes. The textual journey of albums and the singers is lost out in the world of online streaming of music. As it is easier to find the music you wish to listen to or download, the age of looking at editor’s notes or biography of the singers and the album is an effort that many do not put up with as it often requires additional subscription services.

Recapturing storytelling in music

Sir Paul McCartney as well as the Jaunt team in August 2014 has been pioneering to recapture the art of storytelling for music which can be achieved through VR cinematic experience. The program, called Pure McCartney VR being produced at Jaunt will have documentary series for the listeners along with some of the music videos and favorite songs of the artist, which is hoped to be a great replacement for the liner notes of yesteryear albums and records.

SoundStage in VR Can be the Music Sound Tool for the Future

There are several audio workstations today where one can produce music of different genres. For music producers who are looking to use VR in music making might wish to know how sound design and production would happen in VR platform.

One such tool is SoundStage which depends on traditional music production techniques in the new platform.

If you are wondering, that’s how the music composition would be like with this tool, you can imagine yourself surrounded by synthesizers which offer different modulation techniques. You would be surrounded by gear that might be traditional, but the platform would certainly need some getting used to. There are demo modes like Synth, Rhythm and Sequencer. These offer pre programmed sounds that can help you to get started by adding new instruments, erasing and starting afresh or modifying the sounds that exist.

How Virtual Reality Will Revolutionize The Movie Experience

VR would have an effect on cinema and those who own such businesses wonder how the future will look for them as VR becomes a reality.

Cinema owners have seen changes in movie technology and since the 1890s, it has posed challenges to revenue as DVDs or TVs have tried to snare market share from the cinema hall owners. Today VR is set to bring about further changes and real time rendering and its effects will force adaptation for cinema as well.

VR Film Festival World Tour & Film Experience Startup

The VR Cinema would soon become reality which is currently the name of a new VR company that offers VR screenings in the city of Amsterdam. However, cinema experience cannot be the same when it comes to VR. It would become a personalized experience. Cinema goes and the art of social interaction, discussions about the movie and sitting together to experience the movies would not be relevant anymore. Kaleidoscope VR is hosting a World Tour for VR film screening, check out the event page.

Starbreeze is a company that is into head mounted displays and Imax is teaming up with it in order to come up with a supportive experience akin to what they have been delivered to the cinema goers. Cinemas would need to invest in technology that offers VR compatible screening and viewing so that they can stay ahead of consumer based VR accessories that would soon be available in the market.

Arcades with VR technology could also be coming in, such as Vizuality Studio or The Void. These companies are gearing up technology that can offer experiences through body movement. There would be games and experiences where several users can experience a game and physical sets at the same time along with sensory experiences. Here you will find the arcades, cinema and games as well as theaters merging all in one as VR content would incorporate different features and allow one an immersive experience unlike any other.

If you look at the economics of the change in cinemas, while pricing for tickets and floor space requirements would remain the same, people would need more space for VR cinema as they would need to look in different directions and move their heads accordingly. High ceilings would not be required while more space per person would be the altered seating arrangement. In arcades the space needs to be larger. For that reason one might be charged for space and for shorter experiences whose lucrative economic model needs to be looked into.

Changes We’ll See In The Next 5-10 Years

Cinemas will have VR experiences on offer which will help support and increase revenue for them. VR arcades will rise and be part of the traditional multiplexes and bowling alleys with cinematic and gaming experiences on offer. These will not have many profits to offer, but the setup will be hard to find in any home based VR entertainment unit. VR headsets, TV screens and other streaming services will eat away at the profits of traditional movies and gaming arcades.

Pop cinemas will be in vogue in festivals, cities and countryside Cinemas will evolve with flexible infrastructure being offered for different kinds of movie experiences. There would be movable seating as well as layouts that can be altered as per arcade or cinema style viewing or ones that offer the VR experiences.
