Distance Technologies, a Finnish startup that aims to bring mixed-reality technology to any car windshield or plane cockpit, has raised 10 million euros ($11.1 million) of funding from GV (Google Ventures), the venture capital arm of Alphabet Inc. and other investors. Distance raised the cash injection in a seed round led by GV, with existing investors FOV Ventures and Maki.vc also participating. Helsinki-headquartered Distance develops technology that it says can turn any transparent surface into an augmented-reality display, enabling the user to see 3D digital objects overlayed on top of the panel they’re viewing. This avoids the need for any clunky hardware, like a mixed reality headset or augmented reality glasses, both of which require a user to pull an actual device over their eyes to immerse themselves in the experience. https://lnkd.in/eMVfC83Q

If you are interested in the development of virtual and mixed reality, 2024 might be another exciting year, as big brands like Apple, Sony and Meta continue to release new models that enhance the sensation of immersion in digital worlds! #CannabisCountry #Metaverse #Passport #cannabiscountry #metaverse #spatial #cannabiscommunity #cannabisculture #cannabisindustry #dreambig #cannabisbusiness #projects #cannabisprojects #cannabisideias #creativity #startups #cannabisinvest #community #cccomunity #visionpro #applevisionpro #virtualreality #cannfinity

Interesting conversations about venture studios. No one has a problem with game development studios building multiple games they envisaged and conceptualised internally - in fact it is expected. They call them 'titles'. They produce then, market them and continue to improve them. Not sure they spin them out - they could though. A studio might have 20 titles and 2 or 3 turn out to be crazy successful. But mention you are doing this with startups and eyebrows raise. Do you do it for others (i.e are you an agency!)? Whose ideas are you building (your own?? - eyebrows raise even further)? It is curious. #ventureStudios #startups #gaming
