H.Bloom Floral Service Preps To Launch In 5 New Cities, Starting With Boston On June 11

H.Bloom has been disrupting the land of floral gift-giving for quite some time, but the startup is ready to spread its wings and fly into new territory. According to a release, H.Bloom will be expanding into five new cities in the U.S. over the course of this summer.

Currently, H.Bloom operates in New York, Washington D.C., Chicago, San Francisco and Dallas. New cities to join the fold include Boston, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Miami. They’re calling it the “Summer in Bloom.” Clever.

It’s been a solid year for H.Bloom. The company recently launched an iPhone app with more gift-giving options beyond floral arrangements, and 2013 also saw the introduction of H.Bloom’s Hero products on Valentines Day.

The first two new markets to get service will be Boston and Atlanta, which will launch on June 11 and June 18, respectively. According to the press release, H.Bloom can expand so rapidly due to its ability to reduce spoilage to two percent, far below the industry average of 30-50 percent.

The idea is that low spoilage rates can keep costs down to the end-consumer.

We spoke with H.Bloom founder and CEO Bryan Burkhart who explained that the system is paying off handsomely, with H.Bloom doing $5 million in revenue in 2012.

“Our ambition is to be the luxury floral brand recognized around the world. It is a massive market that has been lacking in technology innovation for some time,” said Burkhart. “We are focused on perfecting our operations as we continue to open in new markets, so that we can continue to provide a world-class product and service to our customers.”

Auténticos hologramas 3-D interactivos, muy de película

El futuro ya está aquí, incluyendo los hologramas que siempre hemos visto en las películas, generados mediante rayos de luz, con un aspecto muy característico y disfrutables sin gafas que es probablemente el mayor avance. Pueden verse desde cualquier lugar de la sala y tal y como se aprecia en el vídeo, quedan muy resultones.

El invento proviene del Instituto de Tecnologías Creativas de la USC; la tecnología es por un lado avanzada pero por otro un tanto primitiva, a lo «truco de espejos»: consiste en disparar los rayos de luz a suficiente velocidad sobre un espejo giratorio que da vueltas a alta velocidad.

Tie-Fighter-3D

Entre lo más destacado, alguna de las gloriosas y apropiadas imágenes de ejemplo que pueden crearse con el chisme en cuestión.

Llega el efecto «bullet-time» en tiempo real para retransmisiones deportivas

El sistema desarrollado por la cadena de televisión pública japonesa NHK utiliza un conjunto de cámara robotizadas que no requiere apenas producción posterior a la filmación, pudiendo ofrecer el efecto bullet-time (popularizado en su día por la película Matrix) apenas un minuto después de la grabación, prácticamente en tiempo real.

Inicialmente el sistema está destinado a las retransmisiones deportivas en directo para ser utilizado en las repeticiones o como opción para los servicios multicámara o de retransmisión múltiple.

GREE Ventures Builds Its Southeast Asia Portfolio With Investment In UrbanIndo

GREE Ventures, the investment arm of the mobile gaming giant, has expanded its Southeast Asia portfolio as the lead in Indonesia real-estate startup UrbanIndo‘s preferred Series A funding. Other participants include Japanese-US investment firm IMJ FENOX.

The amount of funding was undisclosed, but UrbanIndo co-founder and Arip Tirta told me that it’s in the seven figure range. The company is the latest investment GREE Ventures has made in Indonesia. While the investment firm’s portfolio is currently made up mostly of Japanese companies, it has ramped up its forays into Southeast Asia over the past six months. Back in January, GREE Ventures participated in top Indonesian e-commerce fashion platform Berrybenka.com’s Series A round and in April it led Singaporean beauty retailer Luxola’s Series A.

The Southeast Asia market has been on GREE Venture’s radar since the firm was established as a wholly-owned subsidiary of GREE in 2011. In addition to Southeast Asia and its home country of Japan, GREE Ventures also looks for potential investments in East Asia.

Launched in 2011, UrbanIndo bills itself as “the most innovative real estate search in Indonesia.” The startup seeks to simplify the process of searching real-estate llistings by allowing users to query directly on a map. Features include neighborhood reports, similar properties and price distribution analysis of a neighborhood within a specific listing.

“The online real estate marketplace in Indonesia is shifting as users rely more and more on market data and tools to make the right decision in buying, renting or selling properties. UrbanIndo is the only online real estate marketplace in Indonesia to combine thousands of property listings with up-to-date market data and local information at the users’ fingertips,” said Tirta.

UrbanIndo will use funds from its Series A to scale up, add to its management team and pursue strategic partnerships. Its earlier investors included Japan and Southeast Asia-based East Ventures.
