AR/VR M&A Timeline: Facebook, GoPro, HP, Apple Begin To Grab Startups.

Deals to AR/VR startups have seen a massive boom in recent years, with 2015 seeing a record 135 deals and $700M in funding.

Tech giants like Google and Twitter are getting involved with AR/VR. Google led investments in Magic Leap, the secretive AR startup that’s raised $1.4B, and Twitter recently confirmed it’s building a dedicated AR/VR team in-house.

Google teases Daydream, a platform for ‘high-quality’ mobile virtual reality, launching this fall.

Google today announced the launch of Daydream, a new platform designed for providing better virtual reality (VR) experiences on mobile devices. This is Google’s way of moving beyond the Cardboard headset introduced two years ago.

There will be a headset, a controller, and many smartphones that work with Daydream.

Google is now working with Samsung, HTC, LG, Xiaomi, Huawei, ZTE, Asus, and Alcatel on phones that meet the Daydream spec, and the first phones will become available this fall, Google VR head Clay Bavor said today at the Google I/O developer conference in Mountain View, California. The controllers, which have their own specification, will also become available this fall.

How virtual reality in 2016 prepares us for the Internet of experiences.

Some exciting news for virtual reality: Data from VBProfiles shows that last quarter saw the largest amount of investments in the landscape in the last five quarters.

Compared to the same period of time last year, the budding industry has seen four additional investments and almost $588M more in funding — an increase of over 120 percent. While the total number of investments has decreased, with only 19 investments in Q1 2016 as compared a high of 32 in Q2 2015, the total amount of funding has skyrocketed, with more than $1 billion invested — mostly in Magic Leap and MindMaze.

With a Patient's Virtual Heart, Doctors Predict Cardiac Arrest.

Sudden cardiac death is a terrifying possibility for patients who have been diagnosed with arrhythmia (abnormal beating of the heart), and the risk is particularly acute after a heart attack. To guard against this outcome, cardiologists implant defibrillators in the chests of all patients deemed at risk, but that leaves a lot of room for error. Identifying those patients who really need the devices is tough.

HumanEyes Technologies launches $800 Vuze consumer VR camera.

Virtual reality headsets have debuted, but now they need VR content. That’s why HumanEyes Technologies is launching a 360-degree Vuze camera today that can capture images in VR. The camera is available for preorders from today and will ship this fall.

The Denver-based company is launching its Vuze VR camera for $800, or less than 3 percent of the cost of the recently announced Facebook Surround 360 ($30,000) and less than 2 percent of the cost of the Nokia Ozo ($60,000).

Loook studio will make mixed reality apps for Microsoft HoloLens.

Inspired by Microsoft’s HoloLens holographic glasses, the founders of Loook are announcing today that they are creating “mixed reality” apps that blend holographic animations and the real world.

Microsoft starts shipping its HoloLens augmented reality development kits.

Microsoft said it has begun shipping hardware development kits for its HoloLens augmented reality glasses today.

Kudo Tsunoda and Alex Kipman, two of the leaders who spearheaded the project, came out onstage to announce the shipments at the Microsoft Build 2016 conference in San Francisco this morning. Microsoft is staking its claim in augmented reality for a wide range of applications, from games to education, while rivals such as Facebook are pushing the Oculus Rift virtual reality headset. Combined, augmented reality and virtual reality are expected to be a $120 billion market by 2020, according to tech adviser Digi-Capital.

Avametric is a fashion software company that has developed technology it hopes will prevent this problem from ever happening again. Today it has raised $10.5 million in a funding round led by Khosla Ventures to bring its product to the retail market.

Virtual reality stadium lets distant friends watch the game together.

Most sports-lovers would agree that one of the main pleasures in watching a match is the shared experience of being among fellow fanatics. Now, LiveLike is a virtual reality platform that aims to enhance the home-viewing experience by enabling viewers to watch games together in a virtual stadium.

To begin, users download the app and create a customizable stadium. They then choose an avatar and invite their friends to join them in the virtual space. LiveLike VR is currently available using Samsung Gear VR and will soon be playable through Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and Google Cardboard VR. Users put on their headsets and are then able to chat, access stats and highlights and choose from different angles of the field.
