PayPal began to work fully in Ukraine

In this difficult time, the support of Ukraine by all foreign partners and friends is important. Support that unites Ukraine with the whole world. Yesterday, the PayPal payment service announced the expansion of the list of services available in Ukraine. Now Ukrainians will be able to send and receive funds from their Ukrainian PayPal wallet in US dollars, Canadian dollars, pounds sterling and euros.     Those who have already been registered with PayPal in Ukraine will automatically be able to use all the features, and new ones need to register an account on the company’s website https://www.paypal.com/ua/home and tie up a Visa or Mastercard card. This important step will help Ukrainians get help from all over the world, and it will make it easier for Ukrainian companies to cooperate and pay for their services.

Proof of Concept for software. Risks reduction in the development of AR / VR / MR applications

The development of AR / VR / MR applications is an innovative and dynamically developing area. Active development implies the emergence of many innovative ideas and concepts, technological solutions and equipment. Under these conditions, it is not always clear how one or another function can be implemented and whether it is possible at all. What is the purpose of Proof of Concept To reduce the risk of losing money and time for our clients, we use Proof of Concept. It helps to clarify the technical feasibility and characteristics of the result and then proceed to the implementation of the whole product. Why Proof of Concept is important PoC is for you if you: have non-trivial tasks, in the implementation of which there is no confidence; have a limited budget and want to test the idea. In addition to risks reducing, another benefit of PoC is that you can use it as a pilot project — to evaluate the knowledge and skills of the company’s developers, the level of communication, the quality of the organization of the development process. This is especially true if your idea is feasible, has good prospects and implies a long development stage in the future. Proof of Concept vs MVP If we compare PoC and MVP, we can say that PoC is a bare functionality, the implementation of which allows you to save money at the initial stage, since it does not require costs for UX / UI and functions that are unnecessary at this stage. It is not released to the public, but is tested by a limited number of users. MVP is a complete finished product, only with limited features. It is released to a wide audience and requires more cost and time than PoC. If you have an idea, please contact us — we will advise you on all issues, share experience and expertise in the field of AR / VR / MR development.

Learned about the new features of Artec 3D scanners

We went to visit our friends from the KODA company, who sell 3D scanners. The guys showed us several models of Artec 3D scanners, talked about their capabilities and scope, demonstrated the process of scanning objects and what the result is. The use of 3D scanners allows you to create very realistic 3D models in the retail, real estate, manufacturing and many other industries. Combination of 3D scanners capabilities and AR / VR / MR applications development is already able to bring benefits to businesses and has very good prospects for the future.
