VR Capture
360 Degree
Stereoscopic
3D Lightfield
Multiple cameras are carefully angled
to form a rig that captures 360° video.
Two cameras are placed at each viewpoint and
slightly angled, capturing different video for
each eye that allows viewers to infer depth.
Lenses capture the intensity and direction of light
in a scene, creating a map of the environment
that lets users look around with 6° of freedom.
©BDMI,	Nov	2015	 13
VR Process & Engines
Editing &
Stitching
CompressionEngines
Software to edit videos and stitch
together footage from multiple cameras.
Frameworks for the creation of
computer-generated imagery (CGI),
game development, and animation.
Technology that reduces file sizes.
Particularly pertinent for VR, where video
sizes can reach up to 1 TB / hour footage.
©BDMI,	Nov	2015	 14
VR Distribute
Closed Open
Companies in the distribution space provide platforms
where users can access (stream or download)
content. In regards to being closed / open, they can
be evaluated across three dimensions:
Only available on specific
devices.
Available on many devices, but only
provide specific or curated pieces of
content, and can be fee-based.
Available on many devices
for free, and allow open
uploading of content.
Hardware – can be a closed ecosystem tied to a
specific headset (‘walled garden’) or hardware-agnostic.
Content – can provide premium content (‘Netflix of VR’) or
be open to any user-generated content (‘YouTube of VR’).
Price – can be fee-based (e.g., pay-per-download,
subscription) or free for consumers.
©BDMI,	Nov	2015	 15

VR Business Models
Integrated
The modern era of VR is still in its infancy. A majority of companies in the space are pre-product / pre-revenue, and are frequently
pivoting and repositioning. This state of flux guarantees that new business models will continue to emerge in the future.
The studio model
includes companies
that create VR
content. Some
produce their own IP,
while others work
primarily as
contractors.
The hardware model
includes companies
that produce physical
consumer goods for
VR. They can make
cameras, headsets,
and input / output
devices.
The middleware
model includes
companies that
develop software and
technology for the
creation and
distribution of VR.
The aggregate model
includes companies
that distribute VR
content. They can
take the form of apps,
app stores, and web
destinations.
The integrated model includes companies that operate two or more of the business models shown above.
Pros:
§  many want to create VR
but lack expertise (in
high demand)
Cons:
§  not very scalable
§  relatively low barrier to
entry
Pros:
§  potential for defensible
technology
§  large potential market
Cons:
§  capital intensive
§  many competitors
§  manufacturing risk
§  research & development
risk
Pros:
§  very scalable
§  potential for defensible,
differentiated offering
§  ‘picks and shovels’
approach
Cons:
§  research & development
risk
§  difficult to predict the
needs of content creators
Pros:
§  large potential market
§  very scalable
§  control relationship with
end-consumer
Cons:
§  difficult to differentiate
§  dependent on content
creators
§  threat of winner-take-all
market
Pros: Cons:
§  diversified business
§  many competitors
§  potentially unfocused
§  control more of the user experience and ecosystem §  extremely capital intensive

AR vs VR Revenue
(2020E)
AR is expected to dwarf the VR market by 4x in 5 years. The wholly immersive nature of VR limits
its usage to seated or physically closed experiences (to prevent users from bumping into things),
making it primarily suitable for gaming and video consumption. AR, however, allows users to
interact within real-world environments. This functionality expands AR’s applicable reach to
many other verticals, giving it the potential to disrupt the smartphone / tablet industries.

  • 13. VR Capture 360 Degree Stereoscopic 3D Lightfield Multiple cameras are carefully angled to form a rig that captures 360° video. Two cameras are placed at each viewpoint and slightly angled, capturing different video for each eye that allows viewers to infer depth. Lenses capture the intensity and direction of light in a scene, creating a map of the environment that lets users look around with 6° of freedom. ©BDMI, Nov 2015 13

  • 15. VR Distribute Closed Open Companies in the distribution space provide platforms where users can access (stream or download) content. In regards to being closed / open, they can be evaluated across three dimensions: Only available on specific devices. Available on many devices, but only provide specific or curated pieces of content, and can be fee-based. Available on many devices for free, and allow open uploading of content. Hardware – can be a closed ecosystem tied to a specific headset (‘walled garden’) or hardware-agnostic. Content – can provide premium content (‘Netflix of VR’) or be open to any user-generated content (‘YouTube of VR’). Price – can be fee-based (e.g., pay-per-download, subscription) or free for consumers. ©BDMI, Nov 2015 15
  • 16. VR Display Mobile Low-End – Best for first, introductory VR experiences and quick demonstrations. §  Pros – least expensive, portable, only requires smartphone §  Cons – basic tracking, limited input (i.e., button) Mobile High-End – Best for casual consumption and viewing short-form content. §  Pros – input included, moderate tracking ability, portable, only requires smartphone §  Cons – limited computing power, basic input, can require specific smartphone PC / Console – Best for early adopters and hardcore gaming enthusiasts. §  Pros – best tracking, most computing power, best content §  Cons – most expensive, not very portable, requires external computer Mobile Low-End Mobile High-End PC / Console Name Google Cardboard Wearality MergeVR Samsung Gear VR Oculus Rift PlayStation VR Price ~$20-30 ~$69 ~$129 $200 $350-450 $300-400 Display requires smartphone requires smartphone requires smartphone requires Samsung S6 or Note 4 integrated integrated Computing requires smartphone requires smartphone requires smartphone requires Samsung S6 or Note 4 requires gaming PC (~$1000) requires PS4 ($399) Tracking requires smartphone requires smartphone requires smartphone / integrated integrated integrated integrated Input button on headset not included included touchpad on headset included included ©BDMI, Nov 2015 16

  • 18. VR Business Models Integrated The modern era of VR is still in its infancy. A majority of companies in the space are pre-product / pre-revenue, and are frequently pivoting and repositioning. This state of flux guarantees that new business models will continue to emerge in the future. The studio model includes companies that create VR content. Some produce their own IP, while others work primarily as contractors. The hardware model includes companies that produce physical consumer goods for VR. They can make cameras, headsets, and input / output devices. The middleware model includes companies that develop software and technology for the creation and distribution of VR. The aggregate model includes companies that distribute VR content. They can take the form of apps, app stores, and web destinations. The integrated model includes companies that operate two or more of the business models shown above. Pros: §  many want to create VR but lack expertise (in high demand) Cons: §  not very scalable §  relatively low barrier to entry Pros: §  potential for defensible technology §  large potential market Cons: §  capital intensive §  many competitors §  manufacturing risk §  research & development risk Pros: §  very scalable §  potential for defensible, differentiated offering §  ‘picks and shovels’ approach Cons: §  research & development risk §  difficult to predict the needs of content creators Pros: §  large potential market §  very scalable §  control relationship with end-consumer Cons: §  difficult to differentiate §  dependent on content creators §  threat of winner-take-all market Pros: Cons: §  diversified business §  many competitors §  potentially unfocused §  control more of the user experience and ecosystem §  extremely capital intensive ©BDMI, Nov 2015 18
  • 19. Augmented Reality could be $120B business in 2020 $0 $20 $40 $60 $80 $100 $120 AR VR Billions Hardware Commerce Data Voice Film/TV Enterprise Adspend Consumer Games Theme Park Projected AR Market AR vs VR Revenue (2020E) AR is expected to dwarf the VR market by 4x in 5 years. The wholly immersive nature of VR limits its usage to seated or physically closed experiences (to prevent users from bumping into things), making it primarily suitable for gaming and video consumption. AR, however, allows users to interact within real-world environments. This functionality expands AR’s applicable reach to many other verticals, giving it the potential to disrupt the smartphone / tablet industries.
