Pavan Bahl from MouthMedia Network hosted a great panel with John Gibson from Samsung, Megan Berry from Reveal (and myself from Umajin). It was very interesting to dig into the trends that are actually driving users to repeat interactions and conversion versus those which might get a lot of attention but do not show high repeat-ability. An example of a popular cool interaction would be a custom skill for Amazon...
Umajin was privileged to share the AGA booth with two of our partners, PwC and SalesForce. This was at the huge G2E event (Global Gaming Expo) that was hosted at the Sands Expo Center.

Here we see the HTC Vive headset and high speed tracking used to explore a Umajin scene with two animated characters. Because of the level of immersion an application designed to really surprise people can be more stressful that just watching a horror movie.

A very exciting new feature for Umajin is editing and integrated debugging for your JS components, actions and feeds. We are using the excellent new lightweight Microsoft Visual Studio Code. This debugger lets a developer stop the program wherever they want using a breakpoint. They can then step through the code a line at a time. While they are looking at the code they can also see all of the values...
