HTC has a new CEO: Yves Maitre. HTC, one of the most important companies in the VR landscape, has now a new boss: Yves Maitre. It has bought the hand-tracking company LeapMotion various months ago for $30M since the two hardware are a perfect fit the one for the other. Funny link. The same doesn’t hold true for Audica.
The local government is trying to push it to make it become a very big hub for the VR industry , and that’s why it is organizing such a big event. Markers can be used to define where to show virtual elements, and in the demo that I tried were used to show virtual Chinese artworks in a room; LeapMotion device on Realmax glasses.
China is a very interesting market for VR, because the government is investing a lot in it. The epic Noah Zerkin (the guy making the LeapMotion North Star headsets) at our booth to try the game! The Chinese government is investing a lot in Nanchang and the many building sites in the city are a proof of that.
I had the pleasure of participating to the “VR Visionaries” event in Kaohsiung and then I headed to Taipei to meet some XR companies (like HTC ) and people. Even worse, it wasn’t able to track my finger movements well (it was worse than LeapMotion … and LeapMotion doesn’t have worn sensors!).
Alvin is the China President at #HTC leading all aspects of HTC’s business in the region (Vive/VR, phone, Viveport content platform, partnerships and investments). Has been at the forefront when it comes to XR, earlier he was VP, Platform Strategy & Dev Community at #HTC and is currently working at Facebook Reality labs.
And we actually tried to tackle this problem with the help of major headset manufacturers – Oculus, HTC, LeapMotion, Intel — and they supported us to create VR/AR labs around the world. Ferhan: It is quite interesting, because we talk with institutions not only in educational, but government institutions.
