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. -
647 Virtual Anatomy: Expanding Veterinary Student Learning
647 VIRTUAL PROJECTS DOI: dx.doi.org/10.5195/jmla.2020.1057 Virtual Anatomy: expanding veterinary student learning Kyrille DeBose See end of article for author’s affiliation. Traditionally, there are three primary ways to learn anatomy outside the classroom. Books provide foundational knowledge but are limited in terms of object manipulation for deeper exploration. Three- dimensional (3D) software programs produced by companies including Biosphera, Sciencein3D, and Anatomage allow deeper exploration but are often costly, offered through restrictive licenses, or require expensive hardware. A new approach to teaching anatomy is to utilize virtual reality (VR) environments. The Virginia–Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine and University Libraries have partnered to create open education–licensed VR anatomical programs for students to freely download, access, and use. The first and most developed program is the canine model. After beta testing, this program was integrated into the first- year students’ physical examination labs in fall 2019. The VR program enabled students to walk through the VR dog model to build their conceptual knowledge of the location of certain anatomical features and then apply that knowledge to live animals. This article briefly discusses the history, pedagogical goals, system requirements, and future plans of the VR program to further enrich student learning experiences. Virtual Projects are published on an annual basis in the Journal of the Medical Library Association (JMLA) following an annual call for virtual projects in MLAConnect and announcements to encourage submissions from all types of libraries. An advisory committee of recognized technology experts selects project entries based on their currency, innovation, and contribution to health sciences librarianship. -
Novel Approach to Measure Motion-To-Photon and Mouth-To-Ear Latency in Distributed Virtual Reality Systems
Novel Approach to Measure Motion-To-Photon and Mouth-To-Ear Latency in Distributed Virtual Reality Systems Armin Becher∗, Jens Angerer†, Thomas Grauschopf? ∗ Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt † AUDI AG ? Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt Esplanade 10 Auto-Union-Straße 1 Esplanade 10 85049 Ingolstadt 85045 Ingolstadt 85049 Ingolstadt [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Abstract: Distributed Virtual Reality systems enable globally dispersed users to interact with each other in a shared virtual environment. In such systems, different types of latencies occur. For a good VR experience, they need to be controlled. The time delay between the user’s head motion and the corresponding display output of the VR system might lead to adverse effects such as a reduced sense of presence or motion sickness. Additionally, high network latency among world- wide locations makes collaboration between users more difficult and leads to misunderstandings. To evaluate the performance and optimize dispersed VR solutions it is therefore important to mea- sure those delays. In this work, a novel, easy to set up, and inexpensive method to measure local and remote system latency will be described. The measuring setup consists of a microcontroller, a microphone, a piezo buzzer, a photosensor, and a potentiometer. With these components, it is possible to measure motion-to-photon and mouth-to-ear latency of various VR systems. By using GPS-receivers for timecode-synchronization it is also possible to obtain the end-to-end delays be- tween different worldwide locations. The described system was used to measure local and remote latencies of two HMD based distributed VR systems. -

Using Virtual Reality to Engage and Instruct: a Novel Tool for Outreach and Extension Age Group: All Ages! Dr. Geoffrey Attardo
Using Virtual Reality to Engage and Instruct: A novel tool for Outreach and Extension Age Group: All Ages! Dr. Geoffrey Attardo Email: [email protected] Assistant Professor Room 37 Briggs Hall Department of Entomology and Nematology University of California, Davis Davis, California 95616 Recent developments in computer and display technologies are providing novel ways to interact with information. One of these innovations is the development of Virtual Reality (VR) hardware. Innovations in hardware and software have made this technology broadly accessible with options ranging from cell phone based VR kits made of cardboard to dedicated headsets driven by computers using powerful graphical hardware. VR based educational experiences provide opportunities to present content in a form where they are experienced in 3 dimensions and are interactive. This is accomplished by placing users in virtual spaces with content of interest and allows for natural interactions where users can physically move within the space and use their hands to directly manipulate/experience content. VR also reduces the impact of external sensory distractions by completely immersing the user in the experience. These interactions are particularly compelling when content that is only observable through a microscope (or not at all) can be made large allowing the user to experience these things at scale. This has great potential for entomological education and outreach as students can experience animated models of insects and arthropods at impossible scales. VR has great potential as a new way to present entomological content including aspects of morphology, physiology, behavior and other aspects of insect biology. This demonstration allows users of all ages to view static and animated 3D models of insects and arthropods in virtual reality. -

Exploration Into Advancing Technology on UX of Social Media Apps by Cameron Allsteadt — 121
Exploration into Advancing Technology on UX of Social Media Apps by Cameron Allsteadt — 121 An Exploration into the Effect of Advancing Technology on UX of Social Media Applications Cameron Allsteadt Strategic Communications Elon University Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements in an undergraduate senior capstone course in communications Abstract While the development of technology and its impact on the social media space may seem unclear, one idea is widely agreed upon: The ways individuals use and interact with social media applications will change dramatically as technologies infiltrate the space. This study explored how evolving technologies will impact the user experience (UX) of social media applications. Three interviews were conducted with futurists and members of Elon communications faculty, as well as a thorough case study of Facebook’s 2017 F8 conference. Findings suggest that evolving technology will rapidly transform the components of the UX framework and enhance consumer convenience, but may create challenges with corporate trust. I. Introduction Since the inception of the smartphone in the mid-1990s, the world of digital media has exploded in growth and continues to evolve at a frantic rate. The advancements in consumer technology have been principal driving forces behind the diversifying social media landscape. However, the rise of technologies like augmented reality, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence have prompted essential questions surrounding the effect of technological advancement on user experience and human culture as a whole. When Facebook launched and quickly gained popularity in 2004, the social networking website altered the media landscape. Facebook set the bar for similar social media applications to provide new ways for users to engage with and connect to one another. -

Virtual Reality Sickness During Immersion: an Investigation of Potential Obstacles Towards General Accessibility of VR Technology
Examensarbete 30hp August 2016 Virtual Reality sickness during immersion: An investigation of potential obstacles towards general accessibility of VR technology. A controlled study for investigating the accessibility of modern VR hardware and the usability of HTC Vive’s motion controllers. Dongsheng Lu Abstract People call the year of 2016 as the year of virtual reality. As the world leading tech giants are releasing their own Virtual Reality (VR) products, the technology of VR has been more available than ever for the mass market now. However, the fact that the technology becomes cheaper and by that reaches a mass-market, does not in itself imply that long-standing usability issues with VR have been addressed. Problems regarding motion sickness (MS) and motion control (MC) has been two of the most important obstacles for VR technology in the past. The main research question of this study is: “Are there persistent universal access issues with VR related to motion control and motion sickness?” In this study a mixed method approach has been utilized for finding more answers related to these two important aspects. A literature review in the area of VR, MS and MC was followed by a quantitative controlled study and a qualitative evaluation. 32 participants were carefully selected for this study, they were divided into different groups and the quantitative data collected from them were processed and analyzed by using statistical test. An interview was also carried out with all of the participants of this study in order to gather more details about the usability of the motion controllers used in this study.
