Voxpop Games Design Mark Anthony Rodriquez and Charles Yu CEO and founder Game developers and distributors VoxPop Games is a profit sharing games distribution platform focused on independent games. In the United States gaming platforms continue to grow consistently during the Covid pandemic and accelerated in 2021reaching $33.9 billion annually. Of that, $33.9 billion dollars, a little over $3.4 billion is independent games. That is comparatively small compared to the larger market. We talk about disruption a lot. How do we plan to disrupt? Using a method that will revolutionize the market. VoxPop uses a revenue sharing business model. Any game that is sold on the VoxPop platform, the developer gets a percentage share of that revenue. If my percentage share is set at 5% we offer 20% to specific users. What this model does is engage influencers. If an independent gamer has a killer idea, you have a great game already built but what you don't have is the money to buy marketing to help that game get sold. Advertising can be as much as two thirds of a triple A games budget. An example is Call of Duty with a $255 million budget, over $210 million of which was for advertising and only advertising. If you are an Indy Dev, you don't necessarily have the money to engage in a traditional advertising campaign. What you want is to engage influencers. Independent gamers live and die on streamers and ledge players. Among Us is a game that went so viral, 85 million downloads, that game came out 3 years ago but it was a complete flop. It was only during the pandemic when streamers picked it up at random that it created a cascading effect. One streamer picked it up then a group of streamers picked it up and all of their viewers got on board as well. You might wonder what was stopping developers of AmongUs from engaging streamers like this three years ago? The answer is streamers these days have an audience and gone are the days when a free copy of your game has meaning. Streamers want to keep the lights on, they are looking for sponsorship and with having their own audience, we are beyond the days when you can just give us a free copy of your game to a streamer. They want to keep their channel alive and what streamers want is a cut of the profits. So on VoxPoP developers engage streamers and say hey listen I got this new game, I want to showcase my game. If you recommend this game to your audience, I will give you 10%, 20%, 30% of every sale. Its an old model of reciprocity built into the system. You can attempt virality on another platform but with VoxPop you stand to earn a profit if people buy a proven model.

Our Guests-Chuck Gershman Chuck Gershman is cofounder of Owl Ai This startup develops sensor systems for satellite systems in outer space, defense applications, automotive applications, and medical applications. The firm developed a proof-of-concept thermal camera system for the U.S. Air Force. Digital cameras were the original sensor source but only with 2D sensor systems. The automobile systems were designed for visual driving. Using two eyes, human beings guesstimate estimate distance or depth, and they allow us to absorb information from the environment and this is how the road system in the United States was developed. Digital cameras were the original sensor source with only 2D capability. Automotive companies have supplemented visual sensors with radar systems that produce depth information so that information was fused together with visual sensors. What was discovered was just like humans see well during daylight, they struggle with shadows, seeing well in darkness and at night, and headlights limit driving ability to see well and humans really struggle in the rain, snow, and fog. This is exacerbated in the sensor's world. They're worse. Thermal imaging does not know the difference between night and day. It is a camera that produces an image that is the same in either day or at night and does not rely on light photons. It relies on an energy photon emitted by the object. It is still photon-based physics it is just not light daylight, so the images are the same night or day. The wavelength that we sense is longer than a visual wavelength. As such it is less encumbered or attenuated by things in the atmosphere like snow, rain, smoke, or fog. That is not to say there is not some attenuation, but the degree of attenuation is orders of magnitude less than what we experience. Therefore, humans can see in environments like snow, rain, etc. Keywords Wavelength Radar proof-of-concept thermal camera systems 2D capability energy photon Thermal imaging Digital cameras energy photon emitted road system energy photon 3D Point Cloud

[…] We're harnessing the user's mobile phone's browser. So there is nothing for the user to install. It's deployed from the very front face of the organisation's web server. So literally all users inherit it instantly. So there are three components. One is an encrypted invisible keyboard, which will either generate the credentials or capture existing user credentials. You then retrieve these to create a passwordless experience. And then this is multi-factor authentication, but done in one step that's invisible to the users. It's what you see as a user when you go to the website with your mobile phone or tablet, it recognizes you and just logs in. […]
