VR team the key to investing in their eyes is what? Device is represented by Microsoft HoloLens augmented reality virtual reality will impact the industry? VR here is a look at Silicon Valley investors is how to answer these questions.Why the interest in VR? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCtR-ARh1aY When answering this question, several investment per capita refers to the VR can help traditional movies, games, and other traditional industries "tells a story"."Virtual reality (device) is the ultimate storytelling device. "Chennavasin believes that Visual impact of virtual reality equipment to be able to make movies, games and more attractive contents, which make him an extremely interesting; though Oculus Rift DK1 now seems very normal, but when he got this product he believes that this is a very promising device.Plumer also shares this view, he believed that "story" is the most attractive place in virtual reality, it can make very ordinary content becomes very attractive. But in his view there was no enough good "stories" make virtual reality devices to "talk": "I think it (virtual reality) is not a technical issue, but a matter of creativity. ”And in Holland, in addition to the stories, VR also has a wide coverage of the character, "it touches everything, is not only a great movie and game, can also help in education, health care, VR can help you learn a language, or the treatment of certain diseases." He believes many killer applications haven't received enough recognition, "tourism and education over the next ten years will be (VR) killer app."VR from an early age what's the key to the public?Plumer, Oculus VR has focused on large game areas, but what makes VR to a wide range of mobile products. "The first 1 million people access to VR must be by Cardboard instead of Oculus, so mobile VR field will have plenty of opportunities in the short term … … Both Sony and Microsoft want to breakthrough in VR should start from mobile. ”Chennavasin believes would not have a suitable for everyone's killer application, "like TV, different people like different content, so for the VR, we need to create enough different types of experience to catch as many different types of people. ”Corazza also believe opportunities lie in the vertical area, and in a vertical field to create superior VR experience will allow VR into more people's lives, "such as millions of painting, 3D, VR's painting was phenomenal."Hollenbeck considered developers instead focused attention on how to enable the VR to the public, it would be better focused on segment, "do what you are interested in, you know, to attract part of your product groups with high enthusiasm".VR entrepreneur how to impress the VC?To address this problem, all guests are considered a superior demo is the most important.In Holland's view, a good virtual reality demo application is not only an attractive enough, and its experience in virtual reality also needs to be good enough, it is hard to convince people that "VR will be the future trend." He even thinks Google Cardboard are at risk because of the simplistic: "I appreciated them bringing virtual reality to shuyishiwan of thousands of people, but the experience was not good enough Cardboard, by contrast I prefer Gear VR, it brings really good mobile VR experience. ”Hollenbeck emphasized three points: smart, passionate, great demo.Chennavasin added that VR application scope is not limited to games, but mining is big, and developer, do a demo of different type of VR applications with others more likely to attract the attention of investors. MIU MIU iPhone 5 CaseOther than the demo, Plumer thinks because VR is a "cross-border" areas, a good VR team not only needs expertise in software, hardware, and also require certain professional skills, "a software engineers say that they want to be a filmmaker is not enough." He deemed worthy of his investment team needs balance needed expertise in all aspects of the project.Augmented reality virtual reality VSAudience asking guests if that augmented reality virtual reality industry is a threat, and mentioned that Microsoft just released HoloLens and widely popular augmented reality glasses.

VR at least you (developers) can control the platform you want consumers to see what consumers will be able to see anything. "In his view, augmented reality brings people into the real world, although sensors than there used to be a lot of promotion, but there are still many limitations on the other, virtual reality needs to be combined with the real world and the virtual world, but this process also faced computing power, bandwidth restrictions. "AR to reach VR now levels will take a number of years. ” MIU MIU iPhone 5 CaseCorazza agreed that augmented reality applications the environment more complex, "there are more moving parts, should be integrated into the more sensors you need more interaction and the environment, obviously more complex."Makerlink will be through "front in Silicon Valley to" public accounts continued reports of hot topic in Silicon Valley smart hardware.
