Lots of gamers out there may know about Esports games like Call Of Duty, Halo, and Overwatch. One thing they have in common is, they aren’t in virtual reality. What if virtual reality was implemented into an event where people can compete against each other for some sort of prize? There is hope for that dream so look no further. Video game publisher CCP Games have announced their new release called Sparc.
CCP Games look to provide people the entertainment of virtual reality and the thrill of a competition, through is Vsport which is what they called it. The objective is the games is to throw projectiles at your opponent while they do the same to you and both players have to block whatever comes to them. Sparc’s expected release will be some time this year in 2017 for the Vive VR system.

The field of 3d printing is pretty outstanding. In Russia, a small home was made by a 3d printer in 24 hours thanks to Apis Cor, which is a San Francisco based startup. Other needs like installations took only took a small portion of time. This is house isn’t the like your ordinary home. Apart from it being 3d printed, it is actually quite smaller than most homes.
This compact home measures up to 400 square feet and the cost to actually make it results in around $10,000. Surprisingly, the 3d printed structure was not the majority of the cost. A chunk of the money went towards the doors and windows as stated by Apis Cor. This isn’t the only thing we will see from Apis Cor. Apparently, they will plan on making houses of all shapes and sizes in the future.

What does it mean to be a successful woman in 2017? According to 2016 BNP Paribas Global Entrepreneur Report, almost 90% of women entrepreneurs expected their companies’ gross profits to increase or remain stable in the next year. More specifically, 61% expected profits to rise, compared to an average of 58% among all entrepreneurs. Are we to measure success by statistic or experiential growth? Women-In-Novation indirectly focused on this question. =SPACE hosted Women-In-Novation to showcase the power of women. It is important for people to see women like our Keynote speaker, Nathalie Molina Niño, Founder and CEO of BRAVA investments, a multi-million dollar holding company, discuss her experience as an entrepreneur.
When women are discussed, there is a major focus on being perfect and brave. They have to walk a mile in their predecessors’ shoes instead of trying on their own. We only acknowledge a women who diverts to a different path when there is crowd. We do not walk with the woman when she is struggling with the bumps and steep curvatures that they have faced or will face in the unforeseen future. Society is a fickle beast that “goes with the flow” because it is how we humans learn to survive. However, there are women who leave society at the door, to watch their magic come to life, and it’s time that we stop waiting until we hear sounds of success to accept change.
Women-In-Novation celebrated the women that thrives on change and challenge. We support everyone who is willing to take charge and make change. Women-in-Novation is not only about women but also about enlightening everyone and showing that powerful women are nothing to fear.

You know how Apple products have Siri? Well think of Cortana as Microsoft’s version of Siri. Basically, you have an A.I that you ask questions and you will receive a response —at times snarky. Now, what would happen if Cortana is everywhere? What if she becomes a new part to your car? You can find out more here.
It seems like Virtual Reality is making its mark on the world. The most popular device for virtual reality available goes by the name of the Oculus Rift. Now the creators behind this remarkable invention has released a revolutionary accessory that can make it seem like you are a 3d artist. This device is called the Oculus Medium. This utilizes two controllers with the Oculus Rift (of course) to control whatever is going on in the screen. More information on how it works can be found here.
