ZapBoxers!

 

We only went and did it, didn't we? It's past 1am here in London so we'll keep this one short (and get back to celebrating!)

Thirty thousand dollars pledged to making ZapBox a reality by awesome people like all of you. Thank you all so much.

We'll have a bigger update coming on Monday where we can start talking about exciting things like stretch goals - we've got some really cool stuff planned so be excited. By the time we get finished ZapBox is going to be all kinds of awesome :-)

Thanks again. Have a great rest of the weekend everyone!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Firstly, HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

*To our backers from outside of the US, happy Thursday!

We set aside a little time today to create something fun.

*This video was filmed with a wide angle lens attached and we still need to implement camera 'undistortion' to fully align real and virtual... the edge of the table looks a bit odd!

Now I don't know if any of you have looked at the page recently, but we're currently sitting at 90% funded!

This is amazing. In as little as 9 days you've pledged more than $27,000 towards the future of affordable mixed reality. Thank you all for believing in ZapBox.

A second thank you goes out to everyone that set aside some time yesterday to tune in for our live stream. There were some excellent questions coming from the community and it was wonderful to hear from so many of you who are as excited about ZapBox as we are.

For those that missed the stream you can watch it here.

Finally, we met with some lovely journalists today and were pleased to let them try a live demo of ZapBox. A very nice fellow named Andy Boxall has already updated his article on Digital Trends which says some very nice things. You can check it out here.

We'll be in touch again soon :-)
