Editor's Notes
- #2: SLIDE TOPIC: Title slide Presentation Thesis: Getting the most out of VR - Virtual Reality and Augmented (or Mixed) Reality have unique and distinct capabilities from other interactive platforms that require new approaches to development and content creation and management. We will explore some innovative approaches to runtime performance, collaborative development, data and live operations to get the most out of your games in development.
- #3: SLIDE TOPIC: Who is MaxPlay? Our leadership pedigree, etc.
- #4: SLIDE TOPIC: What is MaxPlay (tech focus)
- #5: SLIDE TOPIC: What is the size of the VR Opportunity? Give an approximation of what the AR/VR opportunity looks like in the coming years. Explain at a high level, what AR/VR are (basic differences). $150BB in 2020 (AR & VR) “mobile VR will lead the way…but need new tech/ncore”
- #8: SLIDE TOPIC: Establish the challenges of developing for AR & VR, and how MaxPlay’s nCore solution addresses them.
- #9: SLIDE TOPIC: You’ve been hearing over and over again that in order to enjoy high quality VR, you need to go buy a brand new high end machine…but that simply isn’t true. What you ACTUALLY need, is to start using software that actually takes advantage of the incredible processing power that your current machine already has. Let me explain...see, your hardware isn’t the problem. In fact, if you have a Samsung Galaxy S6 in your pocket...you already have a high-performance, OCTA-CORE machine – that’s right, it has EIGHT cores – of which, on your best days – your most demanding days...you are using...two. Your current game development software allows you to leverage just 25% of that machine’s capability. Now...do you think the Samsung Galaxy S7 will have 2 cores, or 8...at minimum? What about the iPhone 7? What do you think Intel, NVIDIA, and AMD want to happen here? It doesn’t take a trendspotter to determine which direction this is going. SLIDE TOPIC – “you know the old myth that humans only use 10% of their brains? Well…in many cases it may even be worse than that, with regard to the % of your computer’s processing power is actually using. It really doesn’t have to be that way...in fact, today i’m going to show you that it is absolutely, no longer the case.”
- #10: SLIDE TOPIC – current state of single & multi-threading. Not up for the task of VR...and what a waste, considering all that processing power that’s being left on the table in current machines.
- #13: SLIDE TOPIC: show the amazing FPS increase when distributing across 6 cores (from just 2).
- #14: SLIDE TOPIC: this demo showcases the performance gains realized by our nCore technology.
- #15: SLIDE TOPIC: Establish the challenges of developing for AR & VR, and how MaxPlay’s nCore solution addresses them. VR/AR present unique challenges for game engines that tax performance, and introduce new concerns for the user experience.
- #16: SLIDE TOPIC: VR & AR are a massive opportunity, especially for mobile developers…who will be the reason that the platform gains broad adoption. However, the current tools available to you are inadequate. MaxPlay’s nCore architecture will help you get the most out of every machine, regardless of whether it has 2, 4, 8, or more cores.
