We will continue to help the community build new experiences through our Cardboard open source project.” Cardboard app development and experiences are still supported. There may still be some units from third-party retailers. It’s not clear until when Google will offer official support. We also won’t be surprised if the company totally stops providing it. So, the videos and games are still active, goggles can still be purchased BUT Google themselves are no longer selling the cardboard. https://media.giphy.com/media/ZqUati0nE4sgM/giphy.gif https://androidcommunity.com/google-cardboard-vr-goggles-no-longer-sold-on-google-store-20210304/ http://www.howitworksdaily.com/wp What you need to know about watching movies in VR - content/uploads/2015/09/Oculus • https://www.vrheads.com/what-you-need-know-about-watching-movies-vr • Take a break once in awhile, no matter how enthralling the movie is.

  • Virtual Reality Headsets
    VIRTUAL REALITY HEADSETS LILY CHIANG VR HISTORY • Many companies (Virtuality, Sega, Atari, Sony) jumped on the VR hype in the 1990s; but commercialization flopped because both hardware and software failed to deliver on the promised VR vision. • Any use of the VR devices in the 2000s was limited to the military, aviation, and medical industry for simulation and training. • VR hype resurged after Oculus successful KickStarter campaign; subsequently acquired by Facebook for $2.4 bn. • Investments rushed into the VR industry as major tech firms such as Google, Samsung, and Microsoft and prominent VC firms bet big on the VR revolution.

The study also analyzes the components of added value that virtual reality gaming brings on top of a more traditional gaming experience Summary An extensive examination of already published academic research regarding product adoption and value concept was conducted to realize the key notions that would act as the cornerstones of the primary research. A quantitative survey was designed for the relevant sample to see whether the earlier findings on the topics of product adoption and value concept resonated with the results gathered from the survey focusing on virtual reality gaming and the products surrounding it. Conclusions The research shows that the product adoption in the virtual reality gaming market essentially operates under the already established concepts of product adoption.

  • M&A @ Facebook: Strategy, Themes and Drivers
    A Work Project, presented as part of the requirements for the Award of a Master Degree in Finance from NOVA – School of Business and Economics M&A @ FACEBOOK: STRATEGY, THEMES AND DRIVERS TOMÁS BRANCO GONÇALVES STUDENT NUMBER 3200 A Project carried out on the Masters in Finance Program, under the supervision of: Professor Pedro Carvalho January 2018 Abstract Most deals are motivated by the recognition of a strategic threat or opportunity in the firm’s competitive arena. These deals seek to improve the firm’s competitive position or even obtain resources and new capabilities that are vital to future prosperity, and improve the firm’s agility. The purpose of this work project is to make an analysis on Facebook’s acquisitions’ strategy going through the key acquisitions in the company’s history. More than understanding the economics of its most relevant acquisitions, the main research is aimed at understanding the strategic view and key drivers behind them, and trying to set a pattern through hypotheses testing, always bearing in mind the following question: Why does Facebook acquire emerging companies instead of replicating their key success factors? Keywords Facebook; Acquisitions; Strategy; M&A Drivers “The biggest risk is not taking any risk... In a world that is changing really quickly, the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks.” Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Facebook 2 Literature Review M&A activity has had peaks throughout the course of history and different key industry-related drivers triggered that same activity (Sudarsanam, 2003). Historically, the appearance of the first mergers and acquisitions coincides with the existence of the first companies and, since then, in the US market, there have been five major waves of M&A activity (as summarized by T.J.A.
