Some decent news - about F'ing time too !

Sorry Lordfont, not sure that a new girlfriend shows anything, unless you are alluding to something else that has passed me by.

Men like women wherever they go and wherever they are, and vice versa to be fair

Would someone like to tell me who else is broadcasting live music performances on a regular, or even semi regular basis by known artists ?
Anyone ?
Is this perhaps the niche that MVR have identified ?
Not VR
Not 360 video
Not some 2D App on a mobile phone

NME liked the Wireless Connect broadcast, no talk about tech glitches, no discussion about tech, just talk about the music.
Just a thought

Just in case anyone is interested in thinking about anything other than spurious trades done by MM's to clean up their books.
The Facebook page for Wireless Connect festival has got
184,000 likes
183,000 follows
64,000 checkins - whatever the hell a check in is !!!

If you are interested in live events you may care to support this

I would just wish to draw a parallel between GamesWorkshop and Melody using something I saw posted on ADVFN today.

"At least one new video is uploaded to Warhammer TV every day across YouTube and Facebook platforms, detailing how to build and paint models as well as unbox the kits. This is a marked improvement from 2016 when only 40 videos were uploaded in a year."

As anyone will know the share price of GAW has gone up 10 fold over this period.

Melody are following a similar track with an increasing rate of output, which in turn will generate an increasing fan base who in turn will market the company

The fan base will mostly be the younger generations who will return and consume for years to come, a marketing mans dream.

Yes, young consumers are always tarts with their consumption, but awareness stays so provided Melody stick to creating an ethical brand which produces quality output with genuinely popular entertainers their star will only rise.

This is not a cross promotion of GAW as you have truly missed the boat on that one

Listening to the JoJo interview it seems to mevthat MelidyVR have some work to do to educate the performers on how their performance can be viewed

Dont know if this has been posted before
Talks about Ulster Uni, new RTC lateral fliw test for antibodies

I think lighter, but not lightweight

Ending the Go does of course end the relationship with Xiaomi in China
So maybe some politics in there, maybe someone was getting worried about tech transfer, maybe FB just want to have their own tech

I think FB have just decided headsets need to be cordless, lightweight and with wholly owned tech
Can't really argue with their thinking.

Some further comment on the demise of the Go and the Quest 2

https://developer.oculus.com/blog/the-next-chapter-of-oculus-development-and-a-new-quest-distribution-path-coming-in-2021/

The Quest is now the go to VR headset
In my super arrogant opinion, if you are considering the Go then the financial jump to the Quest is next to nothing.
Millions think nothing of dropping £1000 on an iphone, so why worry about a couple of hundred on a headset - its the same target market and I think FB know it.

Press speculation on the Quest 2 at this link

Oculus to stop selling 3DOF headsets
So Oculus Go is gone

What will the Quest Mk 2 look like ???

The problem is that the USA is the target market for MVR and it is difficult from the UK to see what is being done over there.
By target market I mean bidders for MelodyVR

Always worth a repost - just for those that missed it

Think Optimist would have been better off investing in BooHoo in 2017, more his style !

Travis Scott's recent concert in the Fortnite game highlighted the issue of server capacity

Fortnite choose to, had to, or were limited to 12 million concurrent users

https://www.abc-7.com/story/42250741/fortnites-the-device-event-reached-capacity-in-just-one-minute-and-gamers-are-naturally-mad

Will Melody limit users / views ?
Isn't Melody about getting into sold out shows ?
If Melody do cap usage and they "sell" out (I know its free) in a minute, then I will be happy

On the Live Nation website all the adverts for cancelled or rescheduled shows go to a proper web page

Wireless doesn't, it goes to a 404 error, meaning they have made a mistake with their redirect, which is unusual as all the other links work perfectly

This is the link the wireless advert tries to reach, it has exactly the same structure as the links that do work for other cancelled shows

https://www.livenation.co.uk/show/1300020/wireless-festival-2020/london/2020-07-05/en

This is odd

For interest
If you start advertising the word combination, "wireless connect" using Google Adwords so that you get an Ad at the top of a search listing with those words then you would pay at least 82p each time the advert link is clicked.

OK for 10,000 clicks, but for a million?
