These guys are crazy over there... Some Americans don't give a toss about the virus. It's crazy... it will either kill them or cure them... my thoughts are the first one.

Adele won't be the first gig in London. She's currently staying.... guess where??? LA? Shes been there for around a year. She's lost 7 stone and was spotted this morning going to an LA gym. She's also just about to release a new album... too good to be true?

and.... so we have it.... it couldn't have worked out better for holders that this virus has reared it's ugly head. After using the platform since it's release (in VR) and having went through the ups and downs as they try to get performances and camera angles right, I've said that the best ever performances will be the ones that we control BUT more importantly when the artists actually perform to the VR camera rather than an audience. This is the true meaning of up-close and personal. Yes, you will never beat the awwwww of a crowd at a festival / venue but this in my eye's is where the true USP kicks in and it will be very, very special... Roll on the bank notes...

John Legends a great name to start with.... no point in Monetising at the start until the experience has been proven by many fans and worth paying for. It’s all about picking up users using our platform. Once we have the users and the experience then it’s time to pounce. Could be an interesting finish to the month...

Here’s a wee insight into why apple could have bought NextVR..

It's always better to cross link all social media channels.

It will be a huge transition for the industry. Especially because artists have been giving their stuff away FOC. Jumping to paid for might be a challenge so needs to have the major WOW factor. I have no doubt though that after this there will be a music explosion with artists all releasing new content they've had time to work on.

Fingers crossed it turns out to be an exciting year for EVRH holders.

I can't work out if Embers is the biggest bullshiner ever or my new virtual best friend. Embers if you're right about asking the ex-employee and things will happen next week then fantastic new and I'm sure everyone will agree you will quickly become the BBs board top predictor. Although if this is true, outing the sex of the person on a public BB will no doubt lead to the source if anyone in the company wanted to track them for non disclosure.

To get back up to the 15p figure fast there would need to be a few things happening IMO. It won't just jump there on the news.

They need to

1) Get the attention of the artists / management teams that this is the new way forward for their PAID for virtual concerts.
2) Get a good uptake and public response (advertising and usage).
3) The first few live productions need to be at least 95% spot on.
4) The tech needs to work with minimal issues.

(this list could go on and on but these are probably just some of the main things).

What would be a blinder if MelodyVR teamed up with the three largest artists that have access to the three different venue sites and they produced a FREE live concert or something like £1/$1 to watch with Melody & the artists giving the proceeds to the NHS or the medical teams in the relevant countries (this would get huge publicity throughout the globe. FB can promote this to areas where Melody doesn't opperate).

Watched the first 30 minutes of the Lewis Capaldi gig last night on Oculus Venues. Good news WhatShare, the gig was totally in 2D / flat and not 3D so this certainly keeps the Venues platform open to us if we are still in cahoots with FB. TBH this is what Venues is all about so would be very surprised if we don't start appearing there. After all Mark wants to make VR a massive success with device adoption going mainstream and this is certainly a way helping with that task. Especially when the Gore stuff comes online.

The Oculus Venues platform is actually really good. I was very surprised. Being on this platform means that you don't need social integration in the Melody software as Venues take full control of this (although we do still need this for pre-recorded gigs on Melody and 360 live events). I was talking to people from everywhere and you can add your friends to the venues gig as well as going in a solo royal box. The experience was top notch but the stream by Supersphere was just that... a stream, not a production and certainly nothing to worry about (apart from the fact they're moving faster than MelodyVR). If Melody got the camera angle right to be in the Venues platform then boom, it would be pretty spectacular and only use a fraction of the bandwidth because it would use Facebooks architecture for streaming to many people at once.

IMO I would imagine the MelodyVR website would stay where it is. Too much has went into this already but could possibly sprout arms and legs as the Gore stuff comes into play with more domain names plus the whole VR production side of things...

Getting myself Cunir... you’re correct. They can’t have that subdomain name. It’s taken up by some Canadian crowd that are strengthening relationships with Jesus. You need to own the top level domain name to create a subdomain. Either that or some can be resellers of the subdomains but this isn’t the case... well that’s a bit embarrassing, unless they have plans to purchase the top level domain.

Waffle, waffle, waffle Patebo. As said... I was more taking about the three months free trial. Melody teamed up with O2 and had an offering of the VR headset and a years subscription. Where did the 3 months free come from.?

Thanks Petebo as usual your ever helpful self. I know how to search thanks. If you’re looking for all good reviews then fire in. If looking at the most recent reviews then this makes more sense does it not? This was in March and one of the newest left. I was more talking about the 3 months free trial but thanks for pointing out my negativity... and me looking up the most critical review.

Fingers crossed The.Italian.. You would have thought that they were building up to something especially in the present circumstances. I suppose I thought this several times during the years... build up to xmas etc.. etc..
You would have thought the app reviews would have really increased with the increased users. Perhaps it's just a case of no news is good news... Did anyone read this review talking about a 3 months free trial?

Few artists, poor quality video

'Got a three-month free trial of this app as an extra when I upgraded my phone contract - I won’t be signing up to subscribe once the trial period runs out. There aren’t that many shows and most of the artists I’ve never heard of. The video quality is really really bad, very pixelated and colours are very flat. Really glitchy in playback as well, keeps freezing up. Pretty pointless in it’s current state.'

Any guesses on when the next substantial RNS will be dropped? Excluding the update on the AGM...

What did they actually talk about?

Hi WhatShares they do look very, very alike. I wasn't 100% sure if they were Melody's because they seem to have one flashing light on the sides and these have two. Plus Melody look as if they used circular stands and these have tripods. That's interesting about Oculus Venues and the 3D. I've watched a few gigs that were 2D in Oculus Rooms but there hasn't been much content at all in the Venues. Looking forward to seeing the Lewis Capaldi set as I never saw the Wiz due to the start time. So will be interesting to see what the opposition holds. I've always wondered why Melody don't use a full 3D setup as I much prefer even the 180 full 3D to the 360 2D. No doubt though this will be in the future as 5G and further technologies progresses.

The file can be downloaded but it won’t give you any clues apart from visually looking at it. It’s been uploaded to YouTube so will get resampled so you don’t have the original format.

Ha ha sorry meant can be voice controlled!

My background is digital advertising but I’m your pure geek when it comes to anything tech related. Nothing in my house hasn’t been tech’d or gadged up in some shape or form and it’s all about the audio / visual. I just love anything that can’t be voice controlled. Love it, but the wife can’t operate a thing.... I think she secretly loves it deep down though. If anything had to ever happen to me.. she’s need to sell the house :-)
