- 1. SPACETIME XR COLLABORATION SPACETIME | COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE
- 2. SPACETIME XR – EXECUTIVE SUMMARY SPACETIME | COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE 2 The world as we know it, and the way business and entertainment is carried out, is changing and it is changing quickly. With the increased rate at which data can be transmiHed, the reduced cost of transmiJng data and the mass commercialisaKon of hardware, both business and entrepreneurs can now access paying customers across the planet through the creaKon of virtual and augmented worlds that could only be imagined a few years ago. AcKve parKcipaKon or engagement in a live show, a collaboraKve meeKng or an exhibiKon is no longer limited by the physical locaKon of the end user. Through the use of virtual and augmented reality, a teenager in Beijing can visit a once in a life Kme exhibiKon in Shanghai or Paris. A sports fan in Berlin can parKcipate in an exclusive esports event being hosted in New York. SPACETIME XR is a unique commercial plaSorm that allows content developers anywhere to create exciKng new experiences for many concurrent users anywhere in the world to access and collaborate on both AR and VR devices be it Android devices, iOS devices, PC/Mac, HoloLens, Meta, HTC Vive, Oculus RiW, Oculus Go and similar headset devices like the Pico Goblin, etc.
- 3. WHAT IS VR + AR + MR ? = XR SPACETIME | COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE 3 Virtual Reality (VR) -‐ A fully immersive experience in which digital content completely replaces your view of the physical world. Augmented Reality (AR)-‐ Any technology that overlays digital content on your view of the physical world. Peter Jackson's Augmented Reality film preview is a good example of what can be done. hHps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDxzlwEriAw Mixed Reality (MR) -‐ Any Virtual or Augmented Reality experience where the real and digital worlds interact. XR Includes VR, AR and MR technologies as a whole.
- 4. MASSIVE INVESTMENT IN XR TECH SPACETIME | COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE 4 The cost of hardware is plummeKng and the range of opKons growing on a monthly basis
- 5. XR INDUSTRY SECTORS SPACETIME | COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE 5 XR can be applied to a wide array of industries from entertainment to mining, agriculture, healthcare to airports, oil & gas to building and construcKon. Large corporaKons such as Boeing and Exxonmobil have been leading the way with innovaKve applicaKons of AR/VR/MR technology in their industry operaKons. Other key growth sectors include defence, security, and educaKon. This presentaKon focuses on XR for entertainment/educaKon and collaboraKon in a variety of industries, powered by the innovaKve new plaSorm -‐ SPACETIME XR.
- 6. XR CONTENT DEVELOPMENT ECO SYSTEM SPACETIME | COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE 6 Globally, digital content creators, design agencies, film and TV producKon companies, architects, industrial designers, story tellers, engineers and developers have included XR as part of their products and service offering. Some have specialised in XR whilst others see this as the next wave and are skilling up. In a similar way to the early internet days, tools and technologies are rapidly developing to enable the creaKon of rich new experiences. Early adopKon is in games and entertainment with single user Ktles and many social VR worlds launching. XR Collabora6on is the game changer.
- 7. A collaboraKve virtual environment is a space in which people can interact with each other, oWen from mulKple locaKons. The aim is for these people to share ideas and experiences in a co-‐operaKve seJng. CollaboraKon in a virtual environment can be enKrely digital (VR) or a mixture of the virtual and real world (AR). The main advantage is to allow a group of people who are based in a variety of locaKons with different devices to share informaKon or a common experience. SPACETIME XR has been developed with collaboraKon and mulK user/mulK technology access at it’s core. WHAT IS COLLABORATION IN XR ? SPACETIME | COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE 7
- 8. Shared VR experiences have their roots in social VR mulKplayer systems and are being adapted to enable immersive group learning. SPACETIME XR uses mechanisms for loading virtual worlds and synchronizing the playback of 2D, 3D and mulK-‐media content for all users -‐ so the users share the same experience at the same Kme no maHer where they are based. The problem VR developers face is that their focus is on the creaKon of content. Consequently their projects oWen only allow access through one parKcular type of device and not a range of VR and AR devices. This limits the size of the potenKal audience and reduces the potenKal revenue opportunity. WHAT IS COLLABORATION IN XR ? SPACETIME | COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE 8
- 9. SPACETIME XR supports all avatar formats. Photogrammetry and volumetric video can be used to scan a 3D version of a person but in the pursuit of realisKc VR avatars the level of fidelity has to be very high to be successful. In most cases, VR Avatars are designed as graphical representaKons. The eyes are designed not to move and the face is designed not to require a facial expression. Based on the rest of your body language/ pitch of your voice, your brain has a easy Kme filling in this informaKon. SPACETIME | COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE 9 WHAT IS COLLABORATION IN XR ?

- 11. WHAT ARE THE CURRENT LIMITATIONS ? SPACETIME | COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE 11 • Few people have access to the latest high-‐end hardware that most content developers wish to focus on or incorporate into their product offerings (nor does everyone want to wear an AR/VR headset) • ExisKng social VR plaSorms are targeted at the tech-‐savvy early adopters (and it is not easy to quickly invite in guests and clients/classrooms) • ExisKng enterprise AR/VR plaSorms are complicated and bespoke (and target specific hardware) • ExisKng mulK-‐user plaSorms are designed to run over the internet but not able to run many users locally, and VR Arcades don’t work remotely.
- 12. WHAT DOES SPACETIME XR SOLVE ? SPACETIME | COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE 12 SPACETIME XR allows large groups of users to parKcipate in a shared collaboraKve VR/ AR experience such as events, meeKngs, exhibiKons, performances, eSports both at the same physical locaKon and remotely over the internet using a variety of devices with outcomes saved to the web. It allows developers to focus on the creaKon of content and use SPACETIME XR to expand the reach of their projects to end users. Key SPACETIME XR features include: • Available on every device • Mix VR, AR, mobile, desktop, and voice simultaneously • Payment gate for revenue generaKon (future releases) • Easy email invitaKon and inclusion of parKcipants • Content synchronizaKon to all local and remote parKcipants • Avatar system with voice chat • Content library access or upload your own branded worlds • Includes collaboraKon tools and a web portal • Spectator cameras for live streaming • Third Party app integraKon
- 13. SPACETIME | COMMERCIAL IN CONFIDENCE 13 • ParKcipants can talk to each other even when levels are loading • Common user experience and user interacKons across all devices regardless of locaKon • AR and VR physical user space synchronizaKon: a facilitator can set users point in physical space (presets or calibrate) • AR and VR in same experience: 3D layers can be tagged and hidden when switching to AR • A payment gateway will allow retail end users to be charged for access to an exhibiKon, live show or eSport event. With the acceptance of online gambling in the US, this has significant upside potenKal UNIQUE FEATURES OF SPACETIME XR
