Virtual Reality has gained a lot of popularity in recent years - and it will undoubtedly become a key part of Entertainment in the future.
Both Virtual and Augmented Reality take the user to another level of Entertainment - it makes you feel as if you're actually there, something that regular TV could never achieve.
VR has already been around for quite some years, but it was only recently that the prices for VR gear finally dropped so that VR headsets could become more of a household products.
Now as we know, Blockchain Technology and Cryptocurrency have countless advantages and applications - so why not combine it with something as innovative and futuristic as Virtual Reality?!
That's exactly what the new startup "VibeHub" aims to do.
What is VibeHub?
VibeHub is a marketplace for Virtual & Augmented Reality, powered by Blockchain Technology.
Essentially, you can buy or sell Virtual Reality sessions - for example with a teacher, a celebrity, a musician and more.
It's a new way to use Virtual Reality, and it's even a new form of social communication.
Imagine experiencing a meet & great with your favorite artist in virtual reality, hearing some live music, or learning a new skill. The use cases for this concept are almost endless.
It's a totally new way of interacting, learning and communicating!
Vibehub is a Virtual space that allows access to various market hubs by creating a meta-virtual world of our own. The allowance of micro transactions with our VIBE currency will usher in a new paradigm of social interactions as well as safe transactions in a virtual space, which has never been done before. Virtual reality will create social experiences, more personal than a live chat or a phone call, providing a more immersive experience with someone on the other side of the globe, all on our platform.
Features
- Unique social experience - much more real than a phone- or video call
- Buy or sell Virtual Reality sessions
- Blockchain Technology - featuring the native cryptocurrency of the platform VIBE, an ERC20 token.
- No fees for micro transactions
- Fair rewards for publishers - no payment cuts
- One platform for countless different types of content
- Secure blockchain-based technology
Vibehub transactions will run on the Ethereum blockchain. The web platform will be compatible with Metamask and Myst browser, making it easier to bridge non-crypto users to our platform for the first time.
The combination of different technologies will allow us to develop a cross platform product that will work on existing AR/VR hardware and future hardware as well. The voice chat, and body tracking of avatars in virtual spaces, will use P2P technologies that allow massive user scaling while keeping costs down. We take pride in our innovation of integrating our Vibe Coin crypto wallet in the virtual space; As it has never been done before. Future plans for AR will also include the use of special multi sensor stereographic cameras, to achieve what we like to call “HoloPresence”.
VibeHub ICO
The tokensale for VibeHub has just started 3 days ago, so you can still invest if this project sounds interesting to you.
Currently, there is even a 20% bonus round which will last until August 28.
The ICO will continue until september 21, with a maximum cap of 115000 ETH.
60% of VIBE tokens will be credited to the token sale, 15% will be going to the Founders, 10% for future development and maintenance, 10% for early contributors and 5% for marketing.
What do you think about the idea of creating a virtual reality marketplace? Would you buy or sell these lessons?

@SirWinchester So good info, I'm a Virtual Reality producer in Unreal Engine I know the world of this and at least for me is not prepared to work properllly till 2 more years at least. Not now, anyway entered to inform myself and wanted to contribute but the PLEASE DO NOT send funds from exchanges like Coinbase, Poloniex, Bittrex, etc. Killed me! Whyyyyyyyy.....
To be honest your average young person would be absolutely thrilled with creating a virtual reality marketplace. And I would probably buy and sell these lessons, seems fun!
Off to the new/hot section of steemit!
I like it! Big like for you!
VR + AR + Blockchain. Its going to blow.
Will look into it.
Great post

Well done buddy @sirwinchester
I will follow you.

Thank you for the news or information we hope to be able to do business together and achieve success .. hopefully we can be well-secured by sharing good news2
Interesting, I guess they will try anything with VR.
Interesting product, it seems kind of similar to the SpectivVR platform. The ICO will start on the 8th of december. Maybe you wanna have a look at this as well. I think they want to create a streaming platform for VR and AR content.
Greetings @ddot
Thank you for your share information...great post
At first I thought it would be like Voxels but this seems interesting. Their biggest challenge seems to be making a good experience communicating in a VR world. Facebook is already doing this (Facebook Spaces) and has an infinitely huge network. VibeHub's main draw would be that content creators have a hard time making money on platforms like Facebook and would make more money charging VIBE.

@SirWinchester Great article. I really believe there is a final third element we need to add to VR and cryptocurrency: AI. In VR we do not only need computational power to support digital environments, but a logic power to process these worlds making them significant to users.
Been getting into a bit of VR myself, recently downloaded Arnold camera for Autodesk Maya and the 360 cam is very intuitive to use. Anyways Its just super cool to see VR take off. Its becoming what we wanted Virtual boy to always be :)
Woah, I could see celebrities using this to have virtual meetups with fans possibly
