roily - once again many thanks for all.

[jmiddy] 20/11/2014 16:11

well I need $16 to break even, written these off long ago, but nice to see they might be worth a little at some point in the future, even if only a small % back! GL guys

Do the big boys develop from scratch or do they just sit and watch all the small fry, wait to see who starts to come to the fore, then reach for the wallet.

Great work Roily ... I think those considerations are crucial regarding the viability of ARHT as a potential front-runner ..(.. eg why or how are they different from the big Boys eg .. Apple,Amazon,Google, even Disney ? )

Intriguing, to say the least ...if it turns out that ARHT have a Patented advantage over those mammoths ...we can all fasten our seatbelts for the flight of a lifetime ...
Keep us posted Roily ..

I just did a quick google and found a bunch of companies that are in the Holographic marketing market and I sent those links off the my contact and asked him why is ARHT different/better than all the other companies in the market. I also read where Apple has a patent on something and how can ARHT compete with them.

I am going to try to dot the i's and cross the t's on this one. If he comes back with some real compelling answers I will think up some more questions for him.

Thanks Roily
... for me ... the burning question is ...
... at what stage are the Humagram " Patent Pending " deliberations at ?

I accept that question is similar to asking " what length is a piece of string ? "
.. but that makes my question no less crucial in the scheme of things. All pointers on this technology look ultra-positive ... but there's no future in investing in ARHT if they don't have global Patent rights on their baby .. all in my opinion ..

Quote from one IT guy I know "there is A LOT of holographic tech coming out. A lot are gimmicky, however this one appears to be targeted specifically for marketing. I’m definitely not a expert at the technology, however I know there is a lot going on with it"

I have been googling to see what I can come up with and reading about Proximity Marketing as this is one area they are going after. On the entertainment angle their technology appears to be superior to Musion who used the Peppers Ghost technology and I have read several articles that imply that is old school stuff.

If anyone has any questions please let me know as the company has been VERY quick to respond to emails and phone calls. For this reason alone I already like them.

Hi Roily ... agree with you trying to stay realistic about this. Its not everyday that a potential nugget drops into the palm of your hand. Or is it just another worthless pebble LoL ? I'm treating it as a "too good to be true " tale for now ... if it looks like it is about to "lift off" at some stage, I have some readies waiting to dive in ... if I am quick enough
PS ... did your IT friends happen to mention whether they thought any other possible pioneers might be sniffing around the same idea ?
I can't help thinking that AHRT might not be the only, or the first, to discover / develop this tech wizardry ... but an announcement that Patent rights had been granted might persuade me to start loading some of my spare readies into it ...
... I'm looking on with bated breath to see what's in the impending "announcements" mentioned by Mr Duffy

Best thing with the ex vast clan is to forget they even own this just like a few months back. If this comes good in a few years we could even recoup a decent part of our original investment in the black (not from oil seeps) mountain.

[cagey76] 19/11/2014 17:46

Roily, thanks for your efforts, although I did laugh at "I think we may be onto to something here." deja vu

Very interesting that they are working on a payment system, that's a big market in the making.

[gussher] 18/11/2014 17:27

roily - Thanks for the CEO video link
... pl see my 17.20pm post on KOAG ... any ideas re ISA's ?
cheers

[seaclipper] 18/11/2014 16:59

Well just had a listen to that rioly,the guy is very bullish - so we shall see.

[roily] 18/11/2014 13:16

This is an 18 minute interview with the CEO. I think we may be onto to something here.

[roily] 18/11/2014 01:34

Nil Pd- thanks so much for setting this up as there are lot of VST people out there that hung onto their shares and now we have a glimmer of hope and a place to exchange information.

In my research I like what I am seeing and I try to step away from the rose colored wine glass to keep my emotions in check, but this E&P investor wants to believe that a tech company will come good.

[roily] 18/11/2014 01:27

In case you are wondering how you became an investor in a Humagram here is what their attorney told me today:

Here is the short explanation from the company:

Your analysis below is basically correct. Following the relinquishment of Vast’s interest in the Qara Dagh block, it was a public company without any real E&P assets. Delebrity Inc. was looking to go public and one of the mechanisms to achieve this is to do complete a reverse takeover transaction into an existing public company (the other widely used method is an IPO, which is more time consuming and expensive). As a result Vast agreed to acquire Delebrity by issuing shares of Vast, and then Delebrity Inc. became a subsidiary of Vast (this was the reverse takeover transaction). At the same time the RTO transaction closed the company changed its name to ARHT Media Inc. This is how Vast became a technology company called ARHT.

Here is some of the news that they told me was coming out. Looks like exciting stuff.

I had the following email exchange with the company over the weekend. So far all the responses look reasonable. Working on my next round of questions.

Question: Can you please elaborate on the Proximity software and how the Humangram in the storefront can interact with the human on the sidewalk? In this done 100% by the software/ARTengine or is there some human interaction behind the curtain?
Response: The interaction is fully automated. Some local and specific content is obviously uploaded, but the platform is based on the android platform. So it can interact discussing at the same level as the android platform (the equivalent of Siri on iPhone).. the platform also stores information that is collected and sent back to the business for analysis.

Question: I see that you are listed on the TSX as ART but you are still VSTFF on the OTC. There is not enough liquidity on the OTC for my liking and I know you are just getting started but is there any thought about getting listed on other markets?
Response: The liquidity is in Canada. Its trades about 50 to 100k shares per day and no one really knows about the company yet. So on that front it is encouraging. In the US, it is currently only over the counter (which we know is really not adequate). But our listing should be moved to the OTCQX imminently. Besides that, we do not intend to list anywhere else.

Question: We really need to understand how this product will be monetized. I can see all the target markets at the website and this is great, but exactly what are you selling them? Are you just selling them the ARTengine and if so we would like to know what the cost is and what the projections and margins are.
Response: We can sell the platform and the holographic technology. The technology comes in 3 formats and different sizes. It can also be lent for events and things like that. the margins will vary a lot depending on the contract, but our cost are very low, not to say ridiculously low. I will ask Paul if we disclose the exact numbers.

Question: How much cash is on hand and how far will it carry you?
Response: As of the first day of trading, we had cash for about a year. But some money is being offered to us, so I wouldn’t be surprised if our ceo decides to take some to accelerate distribution if the stock gets higher.

Question: Do you just hold the rights to the technology, or do you own the whole package?
Response: We own the technology fully. We developed the holographic technology in-house, and we acquired the interactive and recognition capability.

roily - thanks for the feedback from your phone call with Simon Marcotte.

I note you said that similar info is on the website, so I will c+p relevant items and update the header. I'm heading out right now so doubt if I'll get it done until tomorrow or maybe later tonight.

[seaclipper] 17/11/2014 10:16

roily - many thanks for your time and posting that up.

[andywg] 15/11/2014 18:47

Thanks, Roily

[hazl] 15/11/2014 16:59

Interesting.... this looks remarkably like MDZ technology....holograms etc but I felt the marketing let them down,possibly these may be better at that....I have no idea?
imo

[muddy_40] 15/11/2014 16:50

Roily,

Thanks for sharing, hopefully get something back.

[roily] 15/11/2014 16:30

These people will be issuing a research report on ARHT very soon:

[roily] 15/11/2014 15:51

As Oil E&P people I suspect we have some catching up to do. here is some information on the technology and Paul Duffy, the Pres & CEO:
