Apple plans augmented reality content to boost TV+ video service

Apple Inc. is planning to add augmented reality content to its Apple TV+ streaming video service, seeking new ways to attract and retain subscribers and drive interest in AR technology
In the new feature, elements of a TV show, like characters or objects, would be displayed on a viewer’s phone or tablet and integrated into the surrounding environment

By: Mark Gurman, Bloomberg News

For example, someone watching a moon-walking scene in the Apple show “For All Mankind” might be able to see a virtual lunar rover on their device’s display, seemingly perched atop their living room coffee table. The option would serve as bonus content akin to the director commentary or trailer that accompany a movie download and would be accessed from Apple’s TV app on the iPhone or iPad.

The AR feature is expected to debut next year, ahead of an Apple headset in 2022 that will be built around augmented and virtual reality, said the people, who asked not to be identified because they weren’t authorized to discuss the plan publicly. A release of the TV+ feature had previously been set for later this year, but the effects of the coronavirus pandemic on software development and film production impeded that goal. Apple could ultimately decide to scrap the plan, the people said. An Apple spokesman declined to comment.

Bonus content has been one of several ways that Apple has been seeking to make TV+ more valuable and keep people subscribed. Apple is preparing to introduce podcasts related to existing TV+ shows, Bloomberg has reported. The company is also developing a series of subscription bundles dubbed Apple One, which would include TV+ along with discounted access to other services like Apple Music and Apple Arcade mobile games. Last week, Apple debuted the first TV+ video bundle, offering customers who subscribe to the Apple service a discounted rate on a package of CBS All Access and Showtime.

The Cupertino, California-based company launched TV+ last year for $4.99 a month, but many customers are still on a free year of service that comes with the purchase of an Apple product. The first trial accounts will expire just weeks after the next iPhones are set to debut in October. The company is considering keeping a free access offer to lure new subscribers but with a reduced period of time, the people said.

While increasing subscription revenue is a key strategy for Apple now, AR is central to the company’s future devices. Some of the upcoming iPhones will include the Lidar 3-D scanners used in the latest iPad Pro, making AR apps quicker to load and giving them a better sense of their environment, people familiar with the products have said.

For 2022, Apple is preparing to launch a headset that mixes augmented and virtual reality with a focus on gaming, video consumption and virtual meetings, Bloomberg has reported. An AR-only pair of glasses is planned for as early as 2023. The AR feature for TV+ would give Apple more content to show off on the future products when they debut. Currently, Apple’s only consumer AR features on the iPhone are the Measure app and Animojis. The company otherwise relies on third-party developers to provide AR tools.

University of Pittsburgh Joseph M. Katz Graduate School of Business Selects ImagineAR $IP.ca $IPNFF as Partner in New MBA Course $SEV.ca $VST.ca $YDX.ca $NTAR.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 7:19 AM on Monday, August 24th, 2020

Announced the Joseph M. Katz Graduate School of Business at the University of Pittsburgh is unveiling a new and exciting business disruption series course called, “Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR/VR) for Brands and Strategy.”
The course, in partnership with ImagineAR will be taught by Vanitha Swaminathan, Thomas Marshall Professor of Marketing. “Augmented and Virtual Reality for Brands and Strategy” will be initially available for MBA and MS students and eventually to undergraduate students at the College of Business Administration

VANCOUVER, BC and ERIE, PA, Aug. 24, 2020 – ImagineAR (CSE: IP) (OTCQB: IPNFF) an Augmented Reality Company that enables sports teams, retailers and brands to create their own instant mobile phone AR campaigns, is pleased to announce the Joseph M. Katz Graduate School of Business at the University of Pittsburgh is unveiling a new and exciting business disruption series course called, “Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR/VR) for Brands and Strategy.”

The course, in partnership with ImagineAR will be taught by Vanitha Swaminathan, Thomas Marshall Professor of Marketing. “Augmented and Virtual Reality for Brands and Strategy” will be initially available for MBA and MS students and eventually to undergraduate students at the College of Business Administration. The entirety of the course will be taught in an online format. U.S. News & World Report has ranked the Katz Graduate School of Business 39th in its 2021 ranking of the Best Business Schools in the United States.

During the span of the course, students will work in teams to identify how to apply augmented and virtual reality to a real business or company and to design a branding campaign. To conclude the course, students will present a 10-minute video showcasing their ideas.

“We’re thrilled to introduce the new series of business disruption courses,” said Sara Moeller, Associate Dean for Graduate Programs. “Augmented and Virtual Reality for Brands and Strategy, the inaugural course, is the first step in many new and exciting game-changing courses to come.”

AR/VR technologies have the potential to have a transformational role in how students learn, how managers make decisions and how consumers interact with products and branded experiences. Every business today is required to have an augmented reality strategy in order to unlock creative potential inherent in various touchpoints and user interfaces.

“The offering of this course is extremely unique and timely,” said Swaminathan. “The current health crisis has required marketers to be even more creative in how to engage fans and customers. Augmented and virtual reality tools will provide new, creative ways of engaging with customers during this challenging period of social distancing.”

Alen Paul Silverrstieen, CEO & President of Imagine AR stated, “The adoption of the AR/VR course by the esteemed Joseph M. Katz Graduate School of Business is a real testament to ImagineAR. The school has identified ImagineAR as an industry leader and AR as an enormous opportunity for brands to engage customers during these times where traditional methods would not suffice. I look forward to working with Professor Swaminathan on this revolutionary course work.”

The course will tie into a new case competition, Katz Augmented Reality Case Competition (ARCC), co-sponsored by the Center for Branding, Katz Marketing Club, Katz Technology Club, and ImagineAR. Katz graduate students will compete in teams of four to showcase their futuristic and creative ideas for how products and brands can become more innovative in the future. The Katz ARCC will provide an important way for students to gain exposure to AR/VR technologies and will challenge them to think through the various ways in which it can improve the brand experience.

#Apple $AAPL quietly acquired Israel’s #Camerai, formerly #Tipit, a specialist in #AR and camera tech SPONSOR: Imagine AR $IP.ca $IPNFF $SEV.ca $VST.ca $YDX.ca $NTAR.ca

Apple quietly acquired Israel’s Camerai, formerly Tipit, a specialist in AR and camera tech

Apple is well known for picking up smaller startups on the hush-hush to augment its business, and today news leaked out about the latest of these… nearly two years after the fact
Sometime between 2018 and 2019, the iPhone giant reportedly acquired and shut down Camerai, an augmented reality and computer vision company based out of Israel, which used to be called Tipit.
Calcalist said that the startup sold for several tens of millions of dollars.
From being founded in 2015, Camerai had raised around $5 million — including a $2.5 million round in 2017 and another unreported $2.5 million in 2018 — with investors including the Atooro Fund and another called the SKO Fund.

Apple is well known for picking up smaller startups on the hush-hush to augment its business, and today news leaked out about the latest of these… nearly two years after the fact. Sometime between 2018 and 2019, the iPhone giant reportedly acquired and shut down Camerai, an augmented reality and computer vision company based out of Israel, which used to be called Tipit.

The news was first reported earlier today by Israeli newspaper Calcalist, and we have reached out to ask Apple directly about it. In the meantime, Jonathan (Yehonatan) Rimon, who had been Camerai’s CEO and co-founded the company with Moty Kosharovsky, Erez Tal and Aaron Wetzler, declined to comment one way or the other on the report when we contacted him directly about it. A separate source confirmed the story to us. We’ll update as we learn more.

Calcalist said that the startup sold for several tens of millions of dollars. From being founded in 2015, Camerai had raised around $5 million — including a $2.5 million round in 2017 and another unreported $2.5 million in 2018 — with investors including the Atooro Fund and another called the SKO Fund.

It seems that the acquisition came on the heels of multiple approaches from a number of companies at a time when AR was arguably at a peak of hype and many big tech companies wanted a piece of the action. (Recall that 2018 was the year when Magic Leap raised nearly $1 billion in a single round of funding.) Back in 2018, we heard rumors that those approaching and looking at the startup included Apple, Samsung and Alibaba.

The Calcalist report said that Camerai employees joined Apple’s computer vision team, and that the company’s technology has been incorporated into Apple products already. It’s not clear specifically where and when, but recall that both iOS 13 and iOS 14 have featured big software updates to the camera.

Camerai had built an SDK and specifically a range of software-based AR tools to help edit and use camera-made images in more sophisticated ways,

Its tech included the ability to detect different objects in the picture, and outline them with precision to alter them cosmetically; the ability to outline and apply filters across the whole image; a “skeleton tracking” neural network API that could detect and draw body joints in real time overlaid on a picture of a human; and its own version of selective focus for enhanced portrait modes (remember this was 2018 and this was not standard on phones at the time). Camerai’s site is shut down, but here are some screenshots of how it all looked, pulled from the Internet Archive:

Camerai’s acquisition underscores a couple of interesting, and ongoing, trends.

The first of these is in the development of smartphone technology, particularly around cameras. Some of the more interesting innovations in smartphone camera technology have come not out of improvements in hardware, but software, where the application of breakthroughs in artificial intelligence can mean that an existing combination of sensor, lens and on-phone and cloud processors produce a better and more technically dynamic picture than before.

At a time when smartphone replacement cycles have really slowed down and we are seeing also slower innovation on hardware, bolting on talent and tech created outside the phone companies is one way to gain a competitive edge.

(Separately, I wonder if making cutting-edge technology software-based also means that there could be scope in the future for paid updates to older phone models, which could mean more incremental revenues from consumers that don’t want to invest incompletely new devices.)

The second trend that this deal underscores is how Israel remains fertile ground for bigger companies on the hunt to pick up and bolt on technology, and that the secretive approach is likely to remain for some time to come.

“In Israel there are over 350 global corporate companies, from 30 countries, who search for local innovation. Some of them like Apple, MS, Google, even have local R&D [operations],” said Avihai Michaeli, a Tel Aviv-based senior investment banker and startup advisor. “Those global companies look mainly for tech which could serve as its competitive edge. It is not the first time that an acquired startup is asked not to publish it was acquired, nor talk about it.”

Other acquisitions that Apple has made in Israel have included camera module maker LinX, semiconductor startup Anobit and 3D sensor company PrimeSense.

We’ll update this post as we learn more.

Future Chelsea stars use augmented reality app to supplement training

Chelsea’s stars of tomorrow are already honing their skills by using the Blues’ groundbreaking new augmented reality mobile phone app.

The Stamford Bridge club’s junior academy players are using the Perfect Play app to supplement their training.

Academy graduate Reece James has provided the first digital masterclass for the tool that is now available for anyone to download.

24 hours have passed since the official launch of Perfect Play and we’re so overwhelmed by the support and amazing comments! There’s so much more to come from Perfect Play! Download today and #TrainWithTheBest
Download here: https://t.co/nEEQ3LY40V pic.twitter.com/P0yT5jIegv
— Perfect Play (@PerfectPlay) August 13, 2020

The new app uses video tracking technology to map the user’s space and return inch-perfect data on performance and ability in a host of individual or team challenges.

Chelsea’s academy staff and developers have worked since December 2018 on a product launched this week, one which they believe can take youth training to a whole new digital level.

Chelsea Under-11s head coach Sam Page has helped stars like Mason Mount and Tammy Abraham through the Stamford Bridge ranks and has taken a lead role on the new app.

“We’ve actually already used the app with our academy players and it’s been a really interesting part of our home learning programmes that we developed during the course of the pandemic lockdown,” Page told the PA news agency.

“It presented a really exciting opportunity for us with Perfect Play, and we offered the testing version of the app to our academy players from the Under-Nines to Under-13s as part of their home learning programme.

“They tested it for us and had it as part of their programme, so we had some really nice feedback and were able to make some refinements off the back of that.

“And moving forward we’re really keen for it to be a supplementary part of the programme for the youngest age groups that we only see on a part-time basis.

“Our goal is to remain at the forefront of what’s happening in global academy football, we always aspire to be world-leading.

It’s been fantastic working on this project for the past 18months. I am now really excited to see where we go next. https://t.co/o0h7pswPpy
— Sam Page (@sampage1871) August 12, 2020

“Our head of youth development Neil Bath really drives us as coaches to think in a fully-integrated fashion, and about all the technologies that come with that.

“Perfect Play is a really good example of how as coaches we can think about what technology can do to enhance our coaching practice.”

Manager Frank Lampard awarded a record number of senior debuts to home-grown stars in his first season at the Stamford Bridge helm.

Page admitted his own pride at seeing such a bumper crop of academy graduates, especially when witnessing England midfielder Mount hit the net in the 1-1 home draw with Leicester at the start of the campaign.

“There is immense pride in seeing a lot of our lads playing at Stamford Bridge,” said Page.

“For me the memory of Mason scoring against Leicester in the first game, I’ve been to many games at Stamford Bridge but that’s a very special memory for me.

“We talk to our players about it now, about the pathway and the expectations that Frank has, and the things he talks to us as academy staff about; the commitment, hard work, dedication, all of those core fundamental skills that we’ve also tried to embed in the Perfect Play app.” Stars like Mason Mount, pictured, were helped through Chelsea’s academy by Sam Page, one of the key contributors to the club’s new training app (Alastair Grant/NMC Pool)

Product owner Steve Didd will continue to work with Chelsea on refining an app he believes can help radically alter general sports training.

“Technology is going to be hugely influential in terms of how people train, and it’s something we’re hugely excited about delivering within Perfect Play,” Didd told the PA news agency.

“Our goal with the product is to make kids better footballers, and this technology enables us to show them they are getting better, because it captures their performances.

“Kids are very tech savvy now, but this should be extremely intuitive to set up and use and we believe it’s going to become an essential part of football training moving forwards.

“We’re taking elite academy methodologies that have been developed over decades, digitising that, and allowing kids to have that same kind of training, that wouldn’t be accessible elsewhere. So it’s there to help kids improve and gain the edge.

“We already have a masterclass in the app with Reece James.

“We’re heavily involved with the first-team men and women as well as the academy kids who feature. And we’ll be doing more masterclasses with players from both the men’s and women’s team.”

VIDEO – ImagineAR $IP.ca $IPNFF Adds Media Powerhouse Michael Anderson To Spearhead UK & Euro Sales $SEV.ca $VST.ca $YDX.ca $NTAR.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 4:30 PM on Thursday, August 6th, 2020

If you were a small cap Augmented Reality company from Vancouver that needed to appoint an old media / new media powerhouse to head up your European sales operations, we really don’t think you could have found someone better credentialed than Michael Anderson – and that’s exactly what ImagineAR (IP:CSE) (IPNFF:OTCQB) did.

Anderson is a highly regarded leader in the world of digital with his roots firmly based in UK media. Part entrepreneur, part corporate animal, he quickly rose through the ranks ending up as Managing Director of News UK. He worked for Rupert Murdoch and Les Hinton during his rise to the top and made the Board room of both News UK and Associated Newspapers (publishers of the Daily Mail).

Sensing the changing winds of the media business, Anderson was a driving force on the launch team of Metro, which overtook The Sun in 2018 as the largest circulation of any newspaper in the UK. At Metro, he was instrumental in the paper being cited as a new business case with commercial results not seen previously in the newspaper industry, growing revenue from £100k a week to £1m per week in just 12 months. Additionally, Mike was the founder of the Chelsea APPS Factory which included UK clients KPMG, Ladbrokes, Standard Life, TfL, Vanquis and Waitrose.

….. And now he is sensing another change in the winds to put his considerable talents and team behind the Augmented Reality solutions of ImagineAR.

If you don’t know what Augmented Reality (AR) is, this quote from Apple CEO Tim Cook is all the motivation you need to get up to speed:

“AR Will play an important role in how we use technology in the future – and promises to be as influential in our society as the smart phone”

Anderson wholeheartedly agrees, stating “ImagineAR is the most advanced AR platform in the market today and I am excited to launch the company’s sales and marketing initiatives in the UK and Europe.”

That quote is just the tip of the iceberg. Watch what Anderson has to say about the “unlimited possibilities of Augmented Reality” and some pretty good hints about whose doors he will be knocking on first …. which is pretty impressive given the fact August is vacation season in Europe 🙂

If our interview with CEO Alen Paul Silverrstieen and Michael Anderson is any indication, it sounds like the Company’s growth into the UK and Europe is all but assured in 2020 and well beyond.

Today’s announcement and new total receipts from warrant exercises was preceded by announcements on July 8th, in which the Company announced the receipt of approximately $1,500,000 from the exercise of warrants, followed by an announcement on July 20th of an additional $2,000,000 for a new total of approximately $3,500,000.

FINANCIAL RESOURCES ALLOW IMAGINEAR TO PURSUE ALL AUGMENTED REALITY OPPORTUNITIES

The proceeds from this latest round of warrant exercises is expected to provide ImagineAR with the financial resources necessary to fund growth and operations for a minimum of 30 months, assuming the Company wasn’t able to generate any further revenue from business operations.

However, as the Company expects to generate meaningful revenue from its current and anticipated sales pipeline over the next 12 months, as well as, receive additional proceeds from further anticipated warrant exercises, the Company is confident it now has the war chest necessary to pursue all anticipated business opportunities as the demand for its Augmented Reality solutions continues to grow on a weekly basis.

The Company has also launched a “CEO Verified” Discussion Forum on AGORACOM to serve as the Company’s primary social media platform to interact with both current and prospective shareholders in a fully moderated environment.

AGORACOM Verified Forums provide the first ever identity verification of small cap company executives on an investor platform. As a result, ImagineAR’s CEO and officers can post within a discussion forum without the risk of impersonation, while providing shareholders with the confidence of receiving verified information directly from the Company.

Most importantly, by engaging and communicating in an open forum free for anyone to view, the ImagineAR Verified Forum provides investors will full transparency and equal access to information, without the trolling, profanity and nonsense of unmoderated forums and social media platforms.

Silverrstieen added “Given the growth of the Company in 2020, the demand for engagement and discussion by investors has also grown to the point that it now makes sense to unify these discussions under one umbrella. AGORACOM provides verification of ImagineAR management, as well as, smart rules of engagement to insure civilized, constructive and robust conversation between all of our stakeholders. It will become an invaluable tool given our anticipated developments in 2020 and I look forward to posting our first Q&A later today.”
