To my friends in Thailand:

Next Wed 27th April 2016, (9am at Vie Hotel.)  I have been invited to give a talk at the coming Bangkok International Digital Content Festival 2016. (The organizer is in progress of updating their website)

REGISTRATION:
http://www.bangkokdc.com/#!animation-4/qrfgd

I will be sharing new insights and development of the animation industry.
Below is the synopsis of the talk. Hope you can join me.

SYNOPSIS:
There is a major shift in the animation TV market. As audience are moving away from TV to mobile devices, TV licensing fee continue to drop drastically. As a producer, we need to find new ways to monetize our IP. The revolution of new technology like Stereoscopic 3d, Auto Stereoscopic 3d, Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality are going to slowly change the way the audience consume content. Hence opening up a whole new opportunity for independent producers.

CEO's Thoughts: Where the VR market is heading to?

Some of my own analysis of the VR market growth based on the feedback I gathered from the international clients I met. I saw there is a lot of VR 360 video growing in the market. Especially in China. Almost everything on earth has been made into a 360 video. You will see this expansion growing very fast. Everyone will copy each other. Soon audience will get bore of it. How different can it be? (Unless it is meant for architecture visualization) Soon it will just look like another QT VR.

Base on my analysis, if you are doing VR. You should start looking at interactive VR that allows audience to navigate and interact. Allow multiple user. (That is what we are testing in house) The way you plan for the storyboard and the way you tell the story must also be different. I have seen many videos only have events happening in front. If you look around, there is nothing happen on the left, the right and behind. It defeats the purpose of having VR around.
I also see the potential platform for growth to be cheaper goggles working with smart phone. If it is expensive goggles with expensive machines and troublesome setup. I am not sure if that is going to take off.
The other thing I see it coming is light glasses that serve as goggles for both VR and AR to be paired with smart phone coming in. (wireless) I heard Apple is already working on something like this. This should be the future.

VR will create a whole new opportunity for the animation industry. Hope the thoughts help you to plan forward for your business.
