Come see Niantic present at the VR/AR Global Summit Nov 1-2
Despite the progress in tools and software, and no shortage of ideas, AR is still limited to the earliest of adopters. Niantic is making a big push to establish a development platform to dramatically simplify the ability for any developer – not just major brands – to make immersive and globally scalable AR experiences for mainstream consumers.
Earlier this year, Ross Finman, Head of AR Strategy at Niantic, joined Jason McDowall on the AR Show podcast to discuss the Niantic Real World Platform. The conversation evolves from Ross's humble beginnings on a Llama farm to selling his company to the world's most successful AR game developer.
The core of the conversation focuses on Niantic’s ambitions in AR that go well beyond creating massively popular games such as Pokemon GO or Harry Potter: Wizards Unite. They discuss the challenges of the AR Cloud and the need to map and understand the real world. They consider the challenges of incorporating private versus public spaces, and some of the impacts Niantic is having on the real world today.
As a bonus, author Kevin Kelly (Welcome to Mirrorworld) asks Ross about the intersection of AR and robotics. Listen to the full interview:
Join us at the VR/AR Global Summit 2019 where the conversation continues. There, Ross and Jason will explore what types of experiences may compel mass adoption of AR, the technology gaps remaining to create those experiences, and the challenges of building awareness and adoption.

Wandsworth Council has teamed up with LIVR - the world’s first VR streaming service for theatre and the performing arts - and VR headset maker, Pico Interactive, to offer Nine Elms residents exclusive access to their very own on-site virtual theatre.
The first-of-its-kind pilot programme will see an eight-seater virtual reality theatre experience installed at the R.O.S.E. Community Centre on the Savona Estate in Battersea this autumn. The initiative will utilize the LIVR platform to make theatre more accessible; increasing local residents’ engagement with performing arts.
Using standalone Pico headsets, visitors to the centre will be able to get access to content from the LIVR library where they can experience great live performances on-demand in stunning 360° VR - completely free of charge.
The extensive content library will feature new works from emerging artists and critically acclaimed productions, performed in theatres, festivals and unique spaces across London and around the country. The fully immersive viewing experience will transport users into the front row to enjoy the performances as if they were sitting in the audience at the live shows.
“I’m thrilled that theatre shows are coming direct to local residents through this incredible virtual reality experience. As arts and culture grows in Nine Elms, it’s fantastic that we can bring performing arts into the heart of the community and I hope as many Nine Elms residents as possible sign up to put a headset on and watch a performance.”
“We’re really looking forward to starting regular VR viewing nights, which, alongside our new Community Theatre Tickets scheme in partnership with Battersea Arts Centre and Theatre 503, will offer residents plenty of affordable ways to enjoy live theatre this autumn.”
“The opportunity to participate in ventures like this and align ourselves with pioneers in the VR space is part of our DNA at Pico Interactive. We build hardware and offer an unparalleled level of service with the goal of helping our partners reach their visionary goals. This is an exciting time in Virtual Reality where people can be transported into unique worlds or experience live content as if they were there, that perhaps, they wouldn’t have an opportunity to do so otherwise.”
The experience was successfully trialed at the recent Nine Elms Happy Streets festival, and it will begin operating on a weekly basis from Wednesday, 25 September. It will be open to local residents of all ages and is part of Nine Elms' wider cultural strategy aimed at increasing the community's access to, and engagement with, the arts through an ongoing programme of events and initiatives.

How does a Kenyan born Canadian end up as CEO of a 30 person VR start up in Hangzhou China?
Short answer, craigslist.
Long answer;
12 years ago, 18 year old Nikk Mitchell had just graduated high school in Calgary Canada and moved to the coast to attend the Art Institute of Vancouver (also in Canada). A lack of interest in structured learning fostered escape fantasies. Instead of doing his homework he fed his fantasies surfing craigslist world wide, dreaming of anywhere, doing anything but school. One day he stumbled across a job on craigslist’s China subforum, and applied on a whim. He was surprised to be accepted, maxed out his student loan in cash, dropped out of uni, and began his journey to the east.
5 years later Nikk was still in China when the Oculus DK1 was released and his life changed drastically. His student loan was long repaid and structured education a faint memory, so why did he choose to pursue his VR dreams in China?
Historically China has been a world leader many times in culture and science. 20th century China was not. While the reasons for China’s painful 1900s are debatable, their recent steps to return to former glory is fact. Brands like DJI in new industries prove that China is past imitation and back to innovation. Now China is in transition, between a recent poor past and fortune’s future. During the internet bubble China was mostly offline, but now, only decades later China has over 800 million internet users, 98% of them on mobile. Other examples like mobile payment and shared bikes/umbrellas/cars/battery packs also show that while China was recently behind the west, they are leapfrogging ahead. VR is going to take time to reach mass market anywhere, but Nikk believes that it will happen quicker in China than in the West.
Another reason that influences VR in China is government support. For example last year one city alone (Nanchang) invested hundreds of millions of dollars in VR including a huge VR theme park and a 148 million dollar fund. These investments trickle down in real tangible ways. Nikk’s current VR company FXG now has 400 square meters, which are massively subsidised by the Chinese government. Including power, internet, cleaning staff and more, the total cost is 2000 USD per month. The On top of this FXG has been contracted by China State Grid, The Beijing Department of Water, and the local government to create VR content for them. Premier Li Keqiang, the second in command to Xi Jinping even visited FXG’s office this summer.
To quote Nikk directly. “I see VR being big in China sooner than in the west. With the serious government support my company has received, I am sure we will not only survive till then, but will continue to find success in the meantime.”

Meet Finger Food and Microsoft at the VR/AR Global Summit Nov 1-2 in Vancouver !
Finger Food Advanced Technology Group recently partnered with outdoor retailer MEC to solve an age old problem. How do you fit a full range of tents into a limited retail floorspace? The product is out this Summer.
Finger Food co-developed a solution that solves the problem of how to showcase the company’s vast range of tents without taking up valuable real estate. 50 assembled tents would easily take up the floor-space of a typical MEC store!
Using its proprietary Photogrammetry rig and Azure-powered data processing pipeline, Finger Food created an Augmented Reality app that works on mobile devices and is adapted for the Hololens.
An app that showcases highly realistic, life-size ‘virtual’ tent models that communicates key product information such as size, capacity, and aesthetics. This is all viewed through an augmented reality viewer or Hololens, allowing customers to quickly make tent buying decisions, without necessarily setting foot in the store.

Come see Varwin at the VR/AR Global Summit Nov 1-2 in Vancouver !
Alex Dovzhikov, the founder of Varwin, shares the idea behind Varwin Reality Management System:
“I believe that the world changes when people gain control of the information they own, instead of relegating it to a programmer. One day creating VR experiences will become as easy as creating websites with WordPress, Tilda or Wix. And I am talking about difficult projects with complicated scenarios and logics: in some years everyone will be able to create a professional VR training, an educational course, an adventure game or a new world with its own rules and storylines.
The USP of Varwin is the simplicity that allows to build and manage any professional VR project. There are various VR tools on the market: engines, drag-and drop tools for casual users, SDKs and plugins. Unlike engines, Varwin allows developers to produce reusable VR projects, which makes it an easier and faster tool. Unlike simple drag-and-drop tools for casual users, Varwin allows to manage and create a much more difficult scenario with much more interactivity.
Here are the 3 tips Alex would give to other startup founders:
1, Planning is way more important than plans themselves. This process brings a lot of insights and creates a knowledge base that is even more important than plans. If you haven’t planned it, most probably it will not be done.
2. Work with people, not companies or projects. When you see your clients, investors, and employees as partners and find the right people, everything works out better than you would normally expect.
3. Try and test: it’s better to fail once than stay in doubt forever.”
