Just came across this on AppleWorldToday website ....

If Apple’s seeking companies to buy, it should look at Stream TV Networks

[edcrane] 06/1/2016 09:05

From myinforms.com website on the best of CES today ....


One that truly stood out among the pack though was a 65-inch UHD set from StreamTV Networks that allows you watch 3D content without 3D glasses. More impressive is the tech behind this. The company pulls it off by using light fields and defractive indexes, which the company's CEO said are similar to "early stages of hologram technologies."

StreamTV Networks news overnight ahead of the CES show in Las Vegas

Glasses-free 3D TV finally gets real





LAS VEGAS — Consumers never really took to 3D TV. Perhaps it was the need for glasses (passive and active), the lack of quality content or the overall cost. Whatever the case, rarely has anyone been heard saying, "Why don't you come over to my house to watch some 3D football."

At least one of those hurdles, though, is about to fade away as StreamTV Networks finally starts to deliver practical, consumer- and retail-grade glasses-free 3D displays called Ultra-D. The company announced on Tuesday at CES that it has finally begun production and shipping of a wide array of glasses-free 3D displays for home, business and mobile.

StreamTV Networks CEO Mathu Rajan is confident the new technology will be a game changer. “This will be the breakout year for glasses-free,” he said.

The company is not the first to attempt glasses-free 3D. A few years ago, Toshiba showed off a glasses-free HDTV, but the technology, which needed to track viewers to present a 3D image, was clunky and inconsistent. More recently, Amazon's ill-fated Fire Phone's Dynamic Display used eye-tracking to create fairly convincing glasses-free 3D.

Raja told Mashable that, in the case of Toshiba, they used head tracking technology to create its 3D imagery, which meant it was difficult for multiple people in different spots to see quality 3D. StreamTV Networks, by contrast, uses light fields and defractive indexes, something Rajan described to us as "like early stages of hologram technologies." As a result, there is no tracking and there are no viewing angles or zones.


The company showed off a par of Ultra-D displays at their CES press conference: a 4K PC monitor and a 65-inch UHD TV. When looking at the TV, I was able to move around in front of it without losing the 3D effect. It's not as immersive as, say, what you'll see at the movies while wearing a pair of polarized glasses, but it was still pretty impressive.

Even if the effect is somewhat more subtle than the immersive content we see on the big screen, Rajan is convinced that this is the only path for success not only for 3D but for virtual reality and holograms as well.

What about the content?

Early 3D HDTVs were hobbled by a dearth of content. Rajan said his technology won't suffer the same fate. "Existing content can be transformed by our algorithms," he said. This year, StreamTV Networks will also add support for a number of 3D imagery technologies including OpenGL and DirectX 12.

Since Ultra-D doesn't need glasses, it's applicable to virtually any screen type, including more commercial uses like digital signage. "The minute that panel was turned on and the content started to play, I was in love," recalled Inception Visual President Eric Sherman, who was on hand to announce plans to bring retail and wrestling content to these Ultra-D displays.

StreamTV Networks partner Pegatron is actually building the panels and is already delivering HDTVs in 55-inches and 65-inches and PC monitors in 27-inches and 32-inches. Ultra-D sets should arrive in retail outlets soon. Rajan wouldn't share pricing, but did say that it would be competitive.

10:1 buys to sells tells the story, plenty more to come in my view.

Brisk start.

Great volume and hopefully we've cleared out a few early profit takers, I'm looking for .5p end of first quarter 2016 and am confident we can make that.
Have a good night and weekend all.

BTL Group launch their Interbit remittance platform on Jan 18-19th, they are ahead of the game regarding this area and overseas payments.

[daicaprice] 31/12/2015 08:36

[flashheart] 31/12/2015 08:29

Now getting noticed a little....and rightly so.

[maverick247] 30/12/2015 19:57

Thanks guys for info

[daveandlaura] 30/12/2015 17:17

When more up to date portfolio valuations are released by rns. This should then be just simple maths to show real worth, its currently sitting with a Mk based on initial investments which are out of date.

Fintech/Blockchain investment is a different animal there is a lot of hype around this sector atm, a sniff that a particular company may be successful in breaking through will bring a lot of interest.

I think Vela will start to wake up now. :)

[daveandlaura] 30/12/2015 17:08

Yes cash burn @£90k per 6 months, balance £138k, so fully funded near term. I have enquired about updating their website and waiting for response. At a glance I believe there is circa 50% free float. I expect several news updates in the next few weeks, volume is coming back and is getting mentioned on twitter, Velas portfolio more than justifies the tiny mk of circa £1mil WITHOUT the Fintech investment! . This should be .03plus as it stands not taking into account any news that will be coming prob nearer .04p Imo.

Fintech is all the talk atm, and BTL Groups Interbit platform which allows remittance payments overseas using blockchain has its official launch Jan 18-19th could well kick-start blockchain into real world usage.Visa stated that it believes first real world usage for blockchain technology will be remittance payments.

[daicaprice] 30/12/2015 16:30

According to post 272 £138k cash maverick.
Disappointing few sells there at the end.

Taken from LSE.

1) Social super store launch imminent. Last published Investment value £222k.

2) Airportr Gatwick north launch early 2016, now in Heathrow also. Investment value back in August pre Gatwick South and Heathrow £525k.

3) Stream TV about to start mass production and have announcements on Jan 5th. Investment value in 2013 $100k, Vela should update as to current investment value which should have vastly increased.

4) 3leg RTO should be imminent Vela hold 23.5mil shares with a current value of £73k, upside potential here with Jim Mellon involved.

5) Blockchain investment in BTL Group, Interbit platform official launch on Jan 18-19th this is big news. Investment in November'15 £175k.

6) £50k investment in Revolve performance a well established company with expected growth in 2016.

7) £250k investment in Disruptive tech ltd, with Nektan getting a lot of contracts and with a successful recent fund raise to further progress US market.

8) £50k value of RDT shares in portfolio.

9) £138k cash, no debt.

10) Advance laser imaging investment waiting on updates.

Approx £1.5mil value +. As per half yearly report. This figure is based on initial investments in not listed company's which have now made tremendous steps forward valuations have been made in the past at fund raises etc so some of these figures are now out of date.

Airportr investment alone in August was worth £525k and Gatwick South, Heathrow happened since, other terminals at Heathrow and Gatwick north coming in early 2016, next valuation should take these revenues into account and I would think that this valuation alone could be worth £1mil for Vela near term.

Take all this into account and with a current market cap of £1.1mil !!!, there is plenty of potential upside here, basically the majority of investments are only now at that turning point of growth.

As mentioned previously this should be 0.003p as it stands thats 60% upside without taking into account near term news and excellent growth potential starting January. Risk/reward a no brainer.

[daveandlaura] 23/12/2015 12:52

Half yearly report as expected, only basic info. News flow moving forward expected from early January. Primed and ready.

[flashheart] 21/12/2015 18:14

Yes, I have a feeling that this is primed for lift off.
