* Not in True VR*

The Meercats @ comparethemarket have beaten us to it - in true VR

https://www.heart.co.uk/showbiz/celebrities/robbie-williams-reunite-take-that-concert/

Alongside its current LIVE series I hope MVR are experimenting with CGI to create audiences & crowds. Hopefully, the project MVR are working on with Facbook which could potentially allow you to watch a concert or show with your mates and also allow the creation of a vitual 'crowd' to add atmosphere.

Fantastic watching this unfold live - The music industry was wrong footed by the rapid progress of YouTube and Spotify. MVR is a technology platform backed by the music industry.

Free shows & No revenue generating Live shows - Why?

In the current pandemic the majority of musical events whether on social media channels or traditional TV are FREE and focusing on generating donations for charity. Any big star running a pay per view live event in the current environment would probably face a barrage of criticism. This phase will pass, but not yet.

The free concerts look like a decent dry run to ensure all systems are working before the added complexity of a libe show etc.

Personally, the first live show - in my opinion - should be limited to the first 100,000 fee paying consumers. Helps create a buzz, allows MVR to have better control of the technical aspects etc and ensure the system works frictionlessly.

With concerts & festivals probably on the back burner until next Summer MVR has a large window of opportunity - however, I can understand everyone's impatience.

MVR appeared in list of logos in O2 press ad in today's Telegraph.

This foolows on from TV ads last week.

I agree, why would they need a gloabl PR company when single posts on artists' social media pages can reach millions instantly.

With MVR, artists & record labels all benefiting - MVR has the perfect marketing & promotional model with little outlay.

No stadium needed, no crowds or ticketing to deal with. Just a squence of one-off 30 minute sets from individual artists. I believe Facebook can also collect donations. Impossible no, unlikely yes. But just a series of one-offs from household names will do.

for EVRH to use is studios in London, LA & San Francisco to launch a COVID-19 'Band Aid' type event for charity. Then to charge fees for individual performances like Wireless?

I hope so.

Hi Pascha,

I'm not so much interested in MVR's proposition (I'm clear about it and confident), but the process an O2 subscriber went through and as a first time user what motivated them to choose MVR etc.

Over 20 years ago I purchased shares in Arthur Shaw which was planning to launch cyberconcerts to broadcast concerts online & sell merchandise. The first broadcast was a jean michelle jarre concert from the Pyramids in Egypt. There was also the LimpBizkit concert that was 'comming soon'.

is to find somebody whose subscribed to the O2 MelodyVR bundle to give us an overview of what it offers.

I see IMMO dividing into several business units all using the same platform to distribute content:

One unit focusing on tourist destinations (current) with high footfall with content dedicated to this sector

Second unit focusing on streaming VR experieces to individials at home using headsets or future VR sepcs.

Probbaly other units could be developed as well.

With the platform the engine behind it.

Two artists which appear in Melody's Music Discovery Month also appear in Amazon's list of Ones to Watch - JC Stewart + Hamzaa.

After watching the YT video promo for Discovery Month I came across this:

I'm assuming in the future you will be able to play Air Hockey with your favourite artist.

Hi,

I'm not familiar with Hvivo but could any of the more Hvivo experienced investors comment on whether there is the possibility of any of the data held flu or mosquito-borne diseases vaccines making there way onto Open Orphan's digital platforms? I'm assuming Imutex will continue as a seprate entity or be sold off as its not core to orphan drugs.

Any comments welcome.

UK recorded music market up 7.5%, hits 114 billion streams in 2019 - perhaps this will help oil the wheels so we MVR can launch in the far east.

and how long has Amazin Prime be around?

Fortunately, all the major record companies can have a stake in MVR via warrants and more attractive royalty deals than with YT. In the future what platform would record companies prefer to deal with?
