Develop: Brighton Recap

last month, the samsung galaxy gamedev team attended develop: brighton – the uk’s biggest developer-focused games industry event. the sun-kissed conference showcased the best local talent, with some fantastic experiences from indies and big publishers alike. i particularly enjoyed ndreams' showcase of their upcoming vr game phantom: covert ops – it looks set to be the biggest kayaking stealth shooter of the year! samsung was out in force at the event with two business staff and two technical staff, along with yours truly. we spent most of the time having meetings on the beach in the delightfully bright sunshine. i’m leaving a note to myself that breakfast beachside chats are my new favorite way to spend a work trip! it was particularly lovely to see ex-colleagues and friends from sega, sony, jagex, miniclip, and sumo digital while hanging out in the bar. though i can't go into great detail about what we discussed behind closed doors, believe me when i say the uk has some incredible products coming to mobile over the next couple of years. i am not talking your typical hyper-casual games either – core gaming might be seeing a bit of a shakeup very soon! another show highlight was the develop: star awards, which featured industry heavy hitters like gabe newell and sean murray, and of course, many excellent games. while we were too busy networking to attend any sessions, there were many interesting topics discussed during the conference. three of the speakers that caught my eye were: in-game content generation using machine learning (raheel yawar) mmobile: bringing old school runescape to smartphones (christopher knowles) next gen vr - what developers need to know (andrew ayre/alvaro barua) it would be remiss of me not to mention the social side of develop: brighton, as it is part of what makes the conference so popular. we managed to get along to the gamesindustry.biz party on wednesday night and what a turn out it was. the warm night was filled with energy & laughter, with some excellent new connections made and far too many cheeky lemonades. i can’t tell you how grateful i was to mag interactive for providing free bacon rolls the morning after. if you were there, then thank you for being part of such a great event. if you weren’t, i strongly recommend you come along next time – i may even buy you a beachside breakfast!

VRU: From the Set to the Headset: 5 Tips for Making Compelling Virtual Reality Video

welcome to the last q&a in our vru (vr to the power of you) series, where we’re asking some of the world’s best vr content creators how they’re developing groundbreaking work that’s pushing the limits of vr. in this entry, we chatted with the samsungvr team to get the top tips from the experts receiving and reviewing content every day. vr is not a new technology; however, the worldwide semiannual augmented and virtual reality spending guide from idc forecasts worldwide revenues for the augmented reality and virtual reality (ar/vr) market to reach $13.9 billion in 2017, an increase of 130.5% over the $6.1 billion spent in 2016. our 360 video service, samsungvr, is also seeing a steady stream of innovative content with more videos from brands, studios and independent creators alike added to the platform every day. the industry is growing, and with any developing medium, it needs compelling content for users to engage. as engineers, designers, developers and creators, we’ve watched a tremendous amount of vr and know what makes for great content. whether you’re considering a career in the industry or if you’re already in the field but struggling with developing compelling creative, here are five tips that can help you create amazing, sought-after content: ** 1) choose the right subject matter** today, the majority of vr users are what you would expect: males, aged 16-40, gamers, dreamers and geeks (a term we use affectionately, of course). so, cg, stereoscopy, spatialized audio and interactive content that tells great stories tend to perform best on samsung vr. people want content that makes them feel present. action-adventure, sci-fi, animation, outer space, and horror are popular genres for obvious reasons, as well as travel. but a lot of the travel content still has too much of a documentary look and lacks feeling. there are also quite a few thrill-seekers out there — so roller coaster, high wire pov, and skydiving videos still get a lot of plays in vr today. ** 2) create real stories** just because you’re in vr doesn’t mean you can’t learn something from traditional television. before developing content, ask ‘what would bring a tv viewer back next week?’ while you don’t have to create a cliff-hanger, viewers are looking for addictive, episodic content that keeps them coming back for more. if you can make something that inspires people to put on a headset and watch another episode each week or month, you have yourself a winner. ** 3) never forget you’re developing for vr** remember to always ask yourself ‘why is vr the best way to tell this story?’ vr is not an easy environment to get into, or stay in for long periods of time, so you always have to design with the guiding principle of user experience in mind. also, vr is not flat framed content. there has to be interesting things going on all around you at all times. but, you can't do quick cuts either and hope the user stays immersed like you can in flat video. for example, take the recent nissan rogue star wars-themed video. while it could’ve been just another car commercial, it was an incredible experience using a great mix of regular 360 video and ilm cg that made you want to look all around. as a result, the video has one of the best heat map dispersions we’ve ever seen. heat maps are an excellent tool — a visual representation of where viewers are looking in-headset. the content creator who understands and optimizes for this is head and shoulders above the competition. ** 4) build an immersive experience** regardless of the scene you build, you have to give viewers a chance to immerse themselves in it. keep in mind that your 360 camera is the viewer’s head— anytime you move the camera in a way that the viewer isn't moving in the real world, you risk making them sick. so, put your camera in the middle of the action and be careful that the camera moves with slow, smooth, linear movement. with any dialogue, it’s also best if people talk over the camera as it puts the viewer in the middle of the action. from a quality control perspective, it’s essential that you vet your own content in-headset. watching a video an inch from your eyes will help you see things you never would otherwise. this qc goes for audio and dialogue as well. while most narration is enjoyable in-headset, a lot of character exchange and dialogue in today’s videos comes across as amateurish. ** 5) experiment and network** how are vr developers and independent creators gaining traction? they are taking advise from the vr oems to get great performance. they are also talking to the store curators to get good feature positioning of content before the broadest audience. look to samsung vr for that reach! available on gear vr, mobile and web platforms, as well as over 50 countries abroad—samsung vr is the to-be destination for vr audience and distribution. while we’ve tried to provide some helpful guidelines, never be afraid to try new things. design it. create it. produce it. see the feedback. repeat. if you’re interested in vr, be sure to follow us on twitter (#beasamsungdev), like us on facebook and join us at the 2017 samsung developer conference (happening on october 18-19 in san francisco) where you can attend a variety of vr content sessions and meet and mingle with other vr creators. get your #sdc2017 reduced tickets now using code sdcvru

Best of Galaxy Store Awards 2019 Winner: Vienna Studios' Tomas Joscak Speaks to Blending Design and Technology to Become a Top Galaxy Store Seller

our second annual best of galaxy store awards were announced at the samsung developer conference in october 2019! the awards recognize publishers who have stood out amongst the crowd in the galaxy store's boutique of expertly-curated apps. to kick off our best of galaxy store awards 2019 series, we spoke with tomas joscak from vienna studios, the winner of the award for best indie watch designer. how did your path as a developer/designer begin? i got my first smartwatch as a present from my brother jakub, and i wanted to have my own designs as a watch face. after playing around i finally found a big opportunity at the galaxy store, where a lot of smartwatch users and later vienna studios fans liked my models. tell us a little about your career with vienna studios as a developer and a designer. how did you join these two creative forces together to make such a stunning product? i have a strong technical background and phd degrees from technical universities in austria and slovakia. this might be why i have an affinity for classic mechanical time piece design. on the other hand, i was a ceo of start-up company dascanova for seven years. i do think that combination between engineering/developer skills and leading a store like a real business on the highest professional level possible, makes the success in this case. how long have you been building for samsung? we understand your watch face is exclusive to the galaxy store. why choose samsung? my first free watch face was published only one year ago. i could not believe when i saw thousands of downloads in the statistic tool after the first day. i knew immediately that this is the right place, and there is a huge opportunity on this platform. what was your inspiration for building watch faces for the galaxy store? the design possibilities on a smartwatch are without limits. however, a lot of users like the look of a luxury mechanical watch. i do try to combine these two factors, and i do offer a classic design with functions and mechanisms, which could not be realized in the analog form. we noticed your all your watch faces contain significant features such as animations and motion. can you share about your experience marrying design and technology? how does samsung help you create the best user experience? samsung provides us with a powerful instrument where a watch face could be designed and composed without knowledge of coding. this helps to focus on the most important thing - what the user is looking for, which is a great design with all important functions included. i try to always add an extra element or factor, making my fans and customers happy with my products. as an example, i use the gyroscopic 3d feature to reveal advanced information or functionality, such as a hidden, animated heart to show heart rate. tell us about the samsung developer program. how did you get involved? i feel supported as a developer since day one, as i opened my first store. however, after i was informed that i’m a top seller on the galaxy store, i joined the program, i now feel i am part of team. the most amazing experience was to meet all of the members live at sdc 2019 and to discuss future development opportunities, which we are now a part of. what advice do you have for other developers, designers, or creators who want to grow with samsung and get the most of the product family? there is a lot of information, blogs, video-tutorials, and presentations out there. i was doing research, and learned from samsung team members and successful designers, weeks before i started selling on the galaxy store. advice on how to be successful was compressed into three words by chis shomo from infinity watchfaces: design, branding & promo-video. thanks to tomas joscak for sharing his insights on what it takes to blend creativity and technology to create an elegant, luxury watch design. if you're on a samsung device, please check out his award-winning collection. be sure to follow us on @samsung_dev for more interviews with the 'best of' 2019 winners in the coming weeks.

Get Ready for POW! The Samsung Developers Podcast Season 2 Starts February 22nd!

hi, this is eric from samsung developers. normally, i’m behind the scenes managing the samsung developers website and creating tools for our talented group of developer evangelists. today, i’m going to step into the spotlight and chat with my friend and colleague, tony morelan, about the next season of pow! the samsung developers podcast. eric: we’re starting season 2 of the samsung developers podcast next week. can you tell our readers how the podcast got started? tony: after the success of the best of galaxy store awards at sdc 2019, we talked about new ways we could engage with our audiences. we were already doing live events, webinars, and office hours, but we wanted to find a way to give our successful developers and designers a way to connect with fellow developers and tell their stories. eric: for those who might not know about the pow! podcast, how would you describe it? tony: the goal of the podcast is to inspire people to create for samsung. we do this by interviewing influential designers and developers, as well as people internally at samsung talking about the latest tools and services. eric: i listen to a lot of podcasts about coding, baseball, music, history, and classic cars. some podcasts, like hardcore history, have incredibly high production values and could be the soundtrack for a documentary, while many others are just a casual back-and-forth conversation without a lot of cuts. can you take us through your vision for the podcast and the steps you go through to make a podcast episode? tony: my vision for the podcast has always been to create a channel for developers and designers to learn about new opportunities and hear from the success of others. i was first inspired by the npr podcast how i built this hosted by guy raz. his podcast has inspirational stories, great interviews and high-quality production. i absolutely love how they integrate music throughout each episode to help set the mood and give color to the audio. the first step for each episode is to first have a pre-interview call with the guest. this is my chance to go over the production steps, review questions and topics and just work out any technical issues. about a week later we will record the actual interview, which always is just a casual conversation between two people. the beauty of doing a pre-recorded interview is that we get to make mistakes and do re-takes. this really helps take the stress out of recording so that we can just relax and talk away. eric: one thing i noticed when listening to season 1, is that you always start the conversation by asking who they are. some people answer very straightforward, as if reading their cv, while others go way off script. i think it’s such a unique way to start the conversation. what led you to start with that question? tony: that all started because typically i really don’t know the person before they come on to the podcast. i wrote that question for the pre-interview so that i could get a quick peek into their personality. is this person very type a; structured, formal, precise? or are they type b; free flowing, loose and care-free? having this little sneak peek into their personality helps me write the questions for the interview. however, i realized that listeners would love to know this as well. so as an ice-breaker i always start each episode with this same question, and it is very interesting how each person answers it so differently. eric: because of the covid pandemic, the way we do our jobs has certainly changed. i miss seeing everyone in person, but i don’t know anyone that misses their commute. how has covid changed your work on the podcast last year? tony: samsung had us working from home starting in march 2020. i had just returned from orlando, florida after attending the podfest 2020 podcast conference and was only in the office for one day. none of us would’ve imagined that we’d still be working from home almost a year later. i remember those first remote meetings we did as a group, thinking we’d be isolating for 6-8 weeks and then return to the office environment. fortunately, i have worked on many audio and video projects from my home studio. so i was able to conduct most of the season 1 interviews from home. eric: what were your favorite moments from the first season of the podcast? anything that surprised you during your interviews? tony: there were lots of great moments. having been a huge fan of the forza franchise, it was great to interview andy beaudoin from microsoft/turn 10 studios. it was also a lot of fun for me to be interviewed by our own charlotte allen and tell my crazy story about how i ended up at samsung. another top highlight was the interview with chris shomo. when i was first learning that you could design and sell watch faces for samsung, i found a video of chris speaking at the 2017 samsung developer conference. it was that video that inspired me to see if i could design and sell my own watch faces. who would have thought that a few years later i would be hosting a podcast for samsung and interviewing chris. that was insane! oh ya, and learning that his house was featured in a hollywood movie and that it really is haunted! eric: i believe we got some great feedback from our community on season 1. did any of this feedback influence how you prepared for this season 2? tony: all of the feedback we received was great. i especially enjoyed receiving the personal messages from listeners and how inspired they were. it’s this energy that motivates us to have another great season. eric: season 1 had a mixture of developers, designers, and samsung employees sharing their thoughts. what can you share with our readers about the upcoming season of the podcast? tony: i am really excited about season 2. i think the biggest addition this season is that i will be interviewing many of the 2020 best of galaxy store winners. it seems like each winner has such a unique story to tell. all of their journeys are so vastly different, and i know they will be very insightful. eric: anything else you can tell us about season 2? tony: we have some interviews scheduled around big announcements, new releases, updates, etc. i am super excited to share this news on the podcast when it can publicly be revealed. thanks to tony morelan for joining me today. the first episode of season 2 will be available next monday, february 22nd. to follow along, use your favorite podcast app or listen directly page. for more information on working with samsung to develop apps, galaxy watch faces, and galaxy themes, sign up for our newsletter and visit our developer forums.

in march of 2020, i was fortunate to attend what many refer to as the last in-person conference just before covid-19 was declared a pandemic. the conference was podfest, held in orlando, florida. podfest proved to be my crash-course introduction into the world of podcasting and helped me launch our podcast, pow! samsung developer program. little did i know at that time, it would be a pandemic-filled crazy 17 months before i found myself at an in-person conference again. surprisingly, it would be another podcasting conference, podcast movement in nashville, tennessee. for four days i immersed myself back into the world of podcasting, with a slightly different objective than my first podcasting conference. not only was i attending to improve my knowledge and skill as a podcaster, but with the launch of the new samsung podcast platform, i would also be networking with many industry professionals to promote samsung’s new service. during the conference, i attended over 20 sessions, multiple keynotes, countless meetings, and of course… networking parties! highlights from podcast movement 2021 tom webster of edison research day one highlight of the conference was a powerful keynote presentation on the current state of podcasting from tom webster, industry specialist on the usage of technology, new media and social networking. he not only talked about how the pandemic affected listening trends during the past year, but how research showed the importance of expanding your audience through social media and youtube. the podcast makeover 30 second challenge one of the most insightful sessions was given by a panel of experts who collectively reviewed the first 30 seconds of podcasts. 30 seconds is all a podcaster has to entice their audience to continue listening. conference attendees would submit their show for the panel to discuss, critique, and ultimately decide if they in fact would continue listening based on how effective the first 30 seconds were. the panel included: seth resler, digital dot connector bobby bones, iheart media elaina smith, cumulus shannon cason, shannon cason’s homemade stories interviewing to get the most from your guest with 11 years of experience and over 685 episodes as a producer and host, christine blackburn has interviewed some of the biggest names in show business, including larry king, sugar ray leonard, bobcat goldthwait, and kevin nealon. christine has used her podcast show, story worthy, as a platform for guests to share stories with a positive message. her top tip for conducting a great interview was that the host should really not talk too much. a little “dead air” is a good thing and often leads to the guest expanding on their response. vocal rx: practical tips for a healthy & dynamic voice clara harris gave one of the most valuable sessions of the conference – how to take care of your voice. now that i have hosted 20 episodes of the pow! samsung developer program podcast, i can definitely tell when my voice is sounding good or is just a little off. clara’s session was a cross between a human biology class and yoga, explaining how our voice is produced and what we can do to prepare and maintain healthy vocal cords. networking and fun! in between sessions, i found plenty of time to network with fellow podcasters, meet reps from many of the top companies that serve the podcast community, and explore the expo floor to look for the best free t-shirt and maybe learn a thing or two along the way. high points were picking up a sweet new mic from the good people at electro-voice, a scrumptious breakfast hosted by my friends at squadcast, and exciting conversations with tom at buzzsprout related to our new samsung podcast platform service. oh ya, and the best free t-shirt giveaway goes to buzzsprout, who not only chose an ethically produced shirt, but delivered the absolutely best design and comfort! these are just a few of the amazing highlights i experienced during podcast movement 2021. for those that missed out, you can still register to attend the virtual version of podcast movement and watch over 200 recorded sessions. bring your podcast to samsung devices are you a podcaster and want to grow your listening audience? register for a free publisher account and bring your podcast to samsung devices. all you need is your rss feed to get started. with the launch of the new samsung podcasts listening platform, podcasters are able to reach a vastly growing audience. available exclusively on samsung devices, samsung podcasts enable creators to reach engaged listeners. sign up today!
