Future games platforms – Exploiting the possibilities
summary
Panel discussion lays out concrete bets and numbers: PlayStation VR at ~5 million headsets, Play Ventures running a $30M seed fund, and a Nordic location-based operator with three Helsinki sites sold out for months. Emphasis on enterprise wins (mining, manufacturing, surgical training on HoloLens), an AR context-data platform opened to third-party developers, and tooling choices like Unity and standalone headsets (Oculus Quest). Useful if wanting investment timing, location-based performance, or platform tooling tradeoffs.
