Would not worry about a placing Ian
Cash at 31 May 2022 was £10.31m

In the tweet we se DW with the new headset on doing something intricate with his fingers I would stab as guess that they have been working on AR.
On that subject good review here along with what Lenovo think about AR/VR

Unusual tweet from EXR
“Working on something special for the past while. More info coming soon. Congratulations to #meta on there announcements yesterday.”

Thanks SC again a very good read.
This is a summary of the Meta connect event interested to note the new feature’s on Horizon workrooms they seem exactly the same as Engage has had for ages.

Breakout groups: We’ve introduced the ability for teams to shift from a big group presentation into smaller discussions in the same room for more active brainstorming. With spatial audio this means you can hear your breakout group clearly and the ambient discussions in the rest of the room, with less distraction.
Sticky notes for whiteboard: Right now you can turn any free space in your physical environment into a virtual whiteboard. We’re introducing the ability to add sticky notes to the whiteboard for brainstorming and collaborating. And because it’s persistent, it will all still be there the next time anyone on your team logs in to that Workroom.
Multiple screens in a new personal office: The solo Workrooms experience is also getting a major update. We’re shipping the ability to spawn three massive virtual screens on your desk, as well as four types of personal environments. These changes, combined with color passthrough, will turn your headset into a portable office.

Found this on Lenovo
“Firms need trusted technology partners that build, or vet and collaborate with, the best-in-class technology, as well as the means to plan, deploy and manage the technology so solutions that accelerate business today don’t become a roadblock tomorrow,” said Vishal Shah, General Manager of XR and Metaverse, Lenovo. “This also requires an open solution to always make the best hardware and software components for the use cases. … The fact is ‘Open’ always wins and will again in this new world.”

Thanks SC good reading .
Be interesting on Tuesday with Meta,s launch of their Enterprise headset .
Could they join HTC and Lenovo whom both have just launched Enterprise headsets and are already announced as launch partners on Engage link?

Interesting article here
“ Quest for enterprise
Quest Pro is an enterprise device, so I expect more clarity on Meta’s enterprise plans for XR. After the shutdown of Oculus For Business, Meta’s enterprise strategy became very cloudy, with the enterprise Quest becoming the same device as the consumer Quest. A roadmap for the evolution of the enterprise offering was revealed, but the situation remained kinda confused. Now, with the launch of an enterprise-oriented device, it can’t be like this anymore, so for sure there will be the reveal of the new enterprise offering for XR by Meta.”

Great to see St James Place showing off the Engage platform at the HR Vision conference in London yesterday.

Excellent news I wonder if Engage link will be used in China ? It is already set up in the Chinese language.
Also worth remembering
“Target of reaching €10 million annual ENGAGE revenue milestone, 500 active Enterprise customers and 100,000 monthly users during 2023 - 2025:
o Target only reflects the current ENGAGE offering and doesn't reflect huge opportunity from ENGAGE Link”

Great to see Engage platform being used for serious medical debate.

Gents have a listen to this sure you will see the relevance.

Agree SC very positive. Also unlike gold miners striking gold and oilers finding oil and awaiting planning etc with EXR it is a case of when not “if”
Have you looked into ?
“In addition, a multi-national professional services firm, a global technology company and a leading publisher and education company have also agreed to be launch partners. More details of which will be provided as we get closer to the launch.”
Have done quite a bit of research and I hope I am right .
We then have the other 5 that DW mentioned in the investors meet wouldn’t be surprised if we have already talked about them in previous posts .
Anyway not too long to wait GL all OT

Hi Vas rather than give you my biased view I will get a link tomorrow for the recorded event I will post that .

A good podcast I thought some good insights of current and future prospects along with the benefits for the overall medical industry.
Especially liked the Q/A regarding military use . We know the Red Cross have been using it in Ukraine hopefully the benefits have filtered down through the correct channel’s.
