Last Monday, I walked three blocks uphill on Mason St in SanFrancisco to the Fairmont Hotel to demo a stealth product that had been touted to me as one of the biggest advancements in XR tech this side of MagicLeap.
Researchers at the National University of Singapore first showed us how face electrodes can simulate food in virtual reality– and now they are bringing wind and heat to your virtual world. The notoriously secretive mixed reality company MagicLeap has acquired parts of Dacuda , a B2B computer vision software company.
I completed a handful of puzzles in an early prototype of Laser Dance , ending with me rolling down a quiet hallway under some virtual lasers at the Moscone Convention Center of SanFrancisco. It was immediately reminiscent of mixed reality work done by MagicLeap with its AR headset and projects like Dr. Grordbort's Invaders.
At their flagship London store, Topshop made a waterslide simulator to celebrate the start of summer: complete with a virtual tube ride through a 3D recreation of the actual Oxford Street that lies just outside of the real-world store. Now this is what I call retail theater. INVESTMENT & FUNDING WRAPUP. Apparently the $1.4B
To get some insight into those numbers, I moderated a panel on investing in virtual reality and augmented reality at Greenlight Insights’ recent Virtual Reality Strategy conference in SanFrancisco. Toby Zhang: I’m a partner with Youku Global Media Fund and CRCM in SanFrancisco. It focuses on media, AR/VR, and A.I.
They are a passionate team of 3D designers, VR and AR experts based in New York and SanFrancisco. And so we have our MagicLeap build coming out very soon. And obviously the MagicLeap 1 is a tremendous device and we’re excited about MagicLeap as they continue to push the space.

Are they building stuff for MagicLeap? So that piece of equipment that’s connects the gate to the plane itself, to other vehicle simulation and training throughout their portfolio of airports. And then when I– it was was a military simulator, so it was a bit graphic. Are they building stuff for Hololens?

Irena Cronin and I are seeing huge shifts coming as autonomous vehicles get to the point where they are driving around SanFrancisco without humans. At the heart is a simulator that lets AI teams train the system to do new things. Tesla AI and Its Simulator Advantage. That company failed to get enough funding.
SanFrancisco, London, Tokyo, Los Angeles, New York City, and Seattle?—?for Image by MagicLeap). MagicLeap has sold units of its first device for $550. More info (The Last Clockwinder) More info (First Person Tennis) More info (Flight Simulator) More info (Drunk or Dead 2). News worth a mention.
Alan and Vice discuss the pros and…well, are there really any cons to non-radioactive training simulations? I got there and I sat down, and all of a sudden this guy on stage is talking about nuclear reactors and using Hololenses for training and virtual reality training and simulators. Vice: Yeah. But it is a very good hospital.

In April, we opened the doors to the first Upload Collective in SanFrancisco, a hub for VR and AR startups, development, co-working, education, meetups and even live broadcasting. With over 40 member companies in SanFrancisco, The Upload Collective has quickly grown both in size and in scope. February 2016.

And I'm really honored to have you on the show.
But for a while that really looked like they and MagicLeap — and we weren’t really sure what MagicLeap looked like until very recently — were the only players in that market. They had a beautiful central hub in SanFrancisco and LA and they were the hub of virtual reality.

A lot of what I do is try to take new and emerging technology -- obviously right now, VR/AR/XR; all that falls into it -- and using that to enhance messaging and storytelling, training, simulation, all of that type of stuff. Alan: I think one of the ones is doing that amazingly is a company out of SanFrancisco called zSpace.

MAGICLEAP, THE NOTORIOUSLY SECRETIVE STARTUP, STEPS INTO SPOTLIGHT. MagicLeap has raised $1.5B Now it looks like the 600-person company, based in an old Motorola factory in Fort Lauderdale (yes that’s in Florida, guys – not a neighborhood in SanFrancisco), is finally breaking their vow of silence.
Upload VR has been able to visit Kura offices in SanFrancisco and try the technology behind the Kura Gallium glasses, the AR devices that promise a 150° FOV, a resolution that goes up to 8K, variable focus, and brightness that allows for outdoor usage. Last year there I interviewed important people like MagicLeap’s John Gaeta.
