I am a bit puzzled by the names of Austin Grossman,
Dave Gibbons and Andy Lanning being cited as employee (whatever that means).
Are they so confident in the technology that they have started to heavily invest in the content? Is this a way to position themselves as an entertainment company rather than a tech company?
- Tangokat 12y agoI agree with this. On top of already doing unbelivable disruptive technology they are also doing several video games, feature films and "being in the same room as your favorite band" content? Trying to do everything themselves seems overly ambitious. Then again I doubt they get funding like this without something provably awesome and a solid plan to move forward.
- rondon2 12y agoTwo things. 1. An elephant on a flower isn't going to get someone to pay $500-$1000 for this hardware. You need very high quality content to get lots of consumers on board. 2. Moving from current cinema production to VR production is going to be a huge learning curve for a lot of artists. You need to create best practices and examples of how it is done by artists.
- _almosnow 12y agoThose sound like real obstacles. Content is always a big problem, but because of the amount of money that has been poured into this and the people/companies backing it up, I'm pretty sure that they already have that one solved.
- dcre 12y agoThey have so much money now, they can heavily invest in anything.
