VOXELS - VOX 
“Official Coin of Virtual Reality” - Halsey Minor
http://www.voxelus.com/
VOXELUS & VOXELS "Voxelus" is the name of the VR Platform which allows anyone regardless of skill level — to create VR (Virtual Reality) video games, experiences and virtual spaces without writing code. It consists of "Voxelus Creator" (
Available Here) a 3D design app for PC and Mac (open source building software), and the viewer known as the "Voxelus Viewer" (
Available Here), which works on desktop PCs, Oculus Rift and Samsung VR headset devices. The Voxelus ecosystem, uses an in-game cryptocurrency known as "Voxels" (VOX). Voxels is the official currency of VR and the only form of money used inside the Voxelus Platform. Voxels will power the Voxelus ecosystem and will be used for the purchase and sale of all content, services and awards. Voxelus plans to offer a revenue share with creators as the VR game industry is estimated to be a 12 Billion USD market in the coming five years. Samsung's coinciding Q1 planned release of the
Samsung Gear VR Headsets will allow the technology of Virtual Reality to finally reach mainstream adoption with Voxelus primed as the leader in VR content. Estimated prices will range from 99.99 to 299.99 USD for the
Samsung Gear VR Headsets. Previously, VR headsets were too prohibitively expensive even for developers to use, let alone end-user gamers.

A vast majority of orders came in during the final 48 hours, following in-person presentations to industry leaders at the Money 20/20 and Bitcoin Investor conferences in Las Vegas this past week.
This represents the largest amount ever raised in a private crowdsale of a cryptographic token. The prior record was held by Swarm, which sold $250,000 of its tokens privately before selling a total of $1 million in the combined private-public crowdsale. The all-time record for a public crowdsale of a cryptographic token was last summer’s Ethereum crowdsale, which raised 31,529 BTC across a 42-day public crowdsale (valued at $18.4 million at the time).
