FYI

https://aws.amazon.com/sumerian/
Sumerian is just the brand-name Amazon Web Services has picked to label a new game-maker, video=maker, showmaker in Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality modes.

(Ihave no connection whatsoever with Amazon except as a consumer.)

This facility is in preview mode and looking to sign up people to try it out with or without experience.

Interesting but they need your credit card number to suscribe (AWS account creation) to the beta..... Nop for me.

Hi mtakerkart

Thanks for that,

But where is your child-like trust? Your faith in Bezos?

Mind you my optician the other day told me that optimism was an eye infection.

Seems I already have an AWS account to use Amazon Polly...:unsure:  No real interest in VR at this time, but thanks anyway.

child-like trust to give my credit card number ?  Nop . My child-like trust led me to a personal bankruptcy with two children...
we grow up very quickly in this case ;)
I have an Amazon account with all my personnal and credit card info so I don't understand why we can't participate to this
beta with that account ??? Did you see that Stingray are no longer supported by Autodesk ? Really don't want to have
the same with Sumerian...

@mtakerkart

I think I should have put one of these after 'child-like trust' ;-)

@animagic. I am not keen on VR myself, but there are AR and other possibilities and it is a cheap way in to global markets if you do it right.

And although my own child-like trust evaporated  long ago Amazon does need satisfied customers.

But I'm the first interesting of 3D VR experience. I'm working on that , It's a niche market and that's why we have more chances
to performe on it with Iclone. My dream is for exemple to  broacast VR episodes on the PS4 channel (No interactivity). Iclone could be an esay tool to do that.

I agree. Good strategic thinking. But designing for interactivity is difficult. It is necessary, it seems to me, to closely restrict the possible interactions. Sumerian claims to give you Amazon voice interaction a la Alexa, with a little trouble you could have a global hit - multilingual!
