In this episode we talk about Google Cardboard and if the claim of one million cardboards in the wild is any indication of what to expect when Oculus, Sony, Valve, HTC, Microsoft and others (including Mike's own NEODiVR) in 2016?  

Our Guest Crashers this week is Zach from "Inventables" to talk about the X-Carve, and Daniel Cahill, professional 3D scanner and designer to talk about hi-end, hi-res  3D scanning. Along with Mike's introduction to "BioStep Capture" the first iOS scanning app to take advantage of 4eyes, as well as a look at using ABS to create seals, plus a whole lot more.

Episodes in the can: Interviews with Federico Musto, CEO of Arduino S.r.L & Ismail Nazif, founder of Rubik 3D

Bryan -
Apple buys Metaio which is a big deal since Apple hasn’t revealed any AR/VR plans even 2 years after purchasing Primesense, could this be the beginning of Apple’s foray into AR/VR?

Structure SDK 0.5 - When are we getting custom calibrator to use with iPhone 6+? Unbounded Tracking demo is very good, better than my Project Tango at unbounded tracking?

Google releases Justin Lin directed Spotlight Stories 5 minute short called “Help” with iOS, Android and YouTube 360 versions (iOS and YouTube haven’t shown up yet). I rated this attempt a 4.6/10.0 and will go into depth this podcast about my critiques (which are many) and what I liked about the piece (hint: very little)
