Announcing Vizor
 
"The YouTube of Virtual Reality"

---------------------
 
Introduction
 
Virtual reality is looking to be one of the hottest topics in 2015. Google, Samsung, Facebook, and other players have made substantial investments in the core technology, with Oculus Rift, Gear, and Google Cardboard already captivating the imagination of gamers, developers, and dreamers alike. Yet this is just the beginning. With so much public interest and money flowing in, it's clear that the whole Internet is about to get its Z axis.
 
About
 
Vizor is VR for everyone, in your browser — a YouTube-style content portal with a powerful integrated authoring toolset (Vizor Create (http://create.vizor.io/)) that makes it simple to explore, create and distribute Virtual Reality (VR) experiences without expensive hardware or specialist technicians.

Our Team
 
Antti Jδdertpolm (fthr (http://fthrproductions.com/)) — Chief Executive Officer & Lead Designer
 
Jaakko Manninen (Rocket Pack (http://www.rocketpack.fi/), acquired by Disney (http://techcrunch.com/2011/03/03/disney-acquires-gaming-engine-startup-to-build-html5-games-outside-of-app-stores/)) — Chief Technology Officer
 
Lasse Nielsen (Effekt (http://effekts.dk/)) — Senior Developer
 
Wendell Davis (Hive, Humint, Dogeparty) — Product Lead & Chairman
 
Tokenization & Token - Sale
 
We are building a crypto-economy around Virtual Reality. We will issue VIZR, a token which members can purchase for use within the Vizor platform. VIZR token will be used for tipping content creators, purchasing assets for your projects in the Vizor Create Store, and as a drop-in currency for the projects you build. The final token will be issued as a locked and fixed asset on the Dogeparty protocol.
 
The sale will utilize protections such as multi-signature wallets, 3rd party arbitrators, and milestone accountability to ensure smoothness and security for the community. We will announce the details of this sale soon.

Current Status

Vizor is currently at an alpha stage. Though rough, it is an already functioning product. You can create and/or watch a VR experience, right now at vizor.io (http://vizor.io). We encourage all members of the community to check us out if you are interested in this new, exciting and fast-moving space.

I believe that will generate income by selling services.

Cheers, thanks a lot!

I believe that will generate income by selling services.

One way we will generate revenue is by selling assets. Assets are plug-ins and add-ons for the VR projects that you create with our tool — everything from 3D meshes, to textures, to sound effects, code blocks, and so on. A good comparison is the Unity Store (https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/).

In addition, VIZR will be available as a drop-in module for new VR projects made in Vizor Create. In simple language, this means that VIZR token will be easily usable inside of VR projects, and broadly available since it is the "token of the land" of Vizor itself.

Feel free to try Vizor Create now to get a sense of what we mean by drag & drop creation:

We will be doing a live demo of Vizor on Dogeparty Hangout #10 (https://plus.google.com/events/cjl871sld8ujslsce68bqi6r4sc):

https://plus.google.com/events/cjl871sld8ujslsce68bqi6r4sc

Dogeparty Hangout #10 - MAKING GAME TOKENS AND ITEMS USING DOGEPARTY

This hangout will orient itself around the concept of creating new tokens for use in games. The definition of "tokens" may be in-game currencies, in-game items, and so on. We will lead Hangout participants through various scenarios in which they may want to do this, highlighting the interesting possibilities inherent to cryptographically securing such things, and making them fungible. Some minor technical examples will follow, basically utilizing the CP/DP API and showing how quickly a developer can get up and running with it.

Saturday, December 13 @ 5:30pm PST
Estimated non-Q&A time: 30-45 Minutes

Participants/Schedule:
✓ Wendell (Hive (http://hivewallet.com)/Dogeparty (http://dogeparty.io)/Vizor (http://vizor.io)) — introduction to Dogeparty & Tokens
✓ Jens Wiechers (Dogecoin Foundation (http://foundation.dogecoin.com/)) — Bridging the Dogecoin and Dogeparty communities
✓ J-Dog (DogepartyAssets (http://dogepartyassets.com/)) — introduction to Dogeparty API
✓ Michael Sullivan (CryptoVerbs) — an introduction to CryptoVerbs
✓ Gareth Jenkins (Deckbound (https://www.deckbound.com/)) — Deckbound concept & Overview
✓ Wendell (Hive (http://hivewallet.com)/Dogeparty (http://dogeparty.io)/Vizor (http://vizor.io)) — making VR worlds with Vizor & VIZR token

To get an idea of just how far VR on the Web has come (and some speculations about how big it might eventually become), these videos are an excellent starting point:

So you make a V.R. coin and a tool for making V.R. together? Interesting!

So if i understan, the coin will be used in your tool to buy something like parts. Example, I could buy parts to create a building, windows doors etc. But your idea also means that same V.R. coin can be used in the V.R. itself right? So if i make a store in that building i can accept the same V.R. coin?

It is really crazy. :) I like it.

Heh, you hit it square on the head! If you're familiar with something like Second Life and Linden Dollars (L$), it's a somewhat similar idea. But there's one major difference: Vizor is not about making one big "metaverse". While it will be possible to interconnect them, each one of Vizor's "experiences" can have a totally different interaction paradigm (or none at all). On the other hand, the VIZR the token gives the whole platform a unified way of staying economically connected. I hope that makes sense!

okay sure and itscool but what is the point of a new coin? You can use any one existing for this.

okay sure and itscool but what is the point of a new coin? You can use any one existing for this.

We've been asked that a lot and it's pretty simple: VIZR is going to be an absolutely integral part of the experience of Vizor.io. We intend for everyone on the site to have some of this coin. We also want to be able to reward and incentivize certain behaviors, which means we need to be able to give quite a bit of it away at various times...

In addition, it should be said that this is a true "appcoin". We suppose (and in a way, hope) that only a fraction of our users will already be familiar with crypto-currency. They shouldn't need to know much about it to use it. This kind of abstraction is also hard to do with a coin (especially a meta-coin) that we don't issue ourselves.

Does that make sense, more or less?

New theme and UI cleanup for Vizor Create released today!

We have moved all of the menus and display order into the left panel and given Vizor Create a new dark theme. In addition, the preview window is now running in a larger screen, just behind the node editor. More to come in the UI department, soon.

Interesting to come across this project and hope it's going well for you guys!

I'm also starting a business in VR, and have in mind that if it's necessary for me to raise funds later in the year to upscale the business, I would likely do it by offering some sort of crypto-equity too.

I noticed on your Twitter account, you list my home city of Chiangmai as one of your locations. If you're around in Chiangmai and fancy a beer and a chat about our mutual interests some time, hit me up!
