Space And Time Valued At 300 Mln After Microsoft Venture Arm-led...
The company, which aims to run analytics on data stored on blockchain as well as outside of it for smart contracts, plans to use the funding to hire more engineers, said Nate Holiday, co-founder, Space and Time.

was not at full strength with goal-scoring star Alex Morgan sidelined with a knee injury and Mallory Pugh out due to a family commitment. Meanwhile, England captain Leah Williamson was unavailable due to injury.
Sept 15 (Reuters) - Britain's antitrust watchdog said on Thursday it would launch an in-depth probe into Xbox maker Microsoft's $69-billion purchase of "Call of Duty" maker Activision Blizzard after the tech giant failed to offer remedies to soothe competition concerns.
Britain's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) said earlier this month the takeover of the videogame publisher maker could hurt competition in gaming consoles, subscription services and cloud gaming if Microsoft refused to give competitors access to Activision's best-selling games.
Reuters previously reported that Microsoft would pay a $3 billion break-up fee if the deal falls through, according to a source familiar with the matter, suggesting the company was confident of winning antitrust approval.
England was guilty of sloppy passing in front of its own net that led to the equalizer. Lindsey Horan forced a turnover by Stanway and quickly passed ahead to Smith, who calmly delivered her 10th goal of 2022.
The first goal was a build-up that led Beth Mead from the right flank to send a cross to the goal box that U.S.
defender Alana Cook mishandled. Hemp pounced and used her left foot to slot the ball past goalkeeper Alyssa Naeher.
Meta Quest 2
Best (and still most affordable) VR headset
Good: Self-contained and wireless; great touch controllers; comfortable design for gaming; doubles as PC VR headset; plenty of apps
While Cole grew up patiently playing his way through mainstream games that weren't designed with his needs in mind, he said some younger blind gamers have grown up with audio-only, although whether these are in fact better is a question of taste.
But things are changing rapidly, according to US-based video game industry accessibility consultant Brandon Cole, with mainstream games that incorporate the needs of vision impaired players, and a range of audio-only games on the market.
If you're looking for the best VR headset, the ideal choice will depend on what you enjoy doing in the virtual world. VR's strongest applications tend to be gaming and fitness. The Oculus Quest 2, which is an excellent home VR console, is still one of my favorite ways to play games. But you still have to decide whether you want a headset that plugs into your PC or console, or a stand-alone option like the Quest 2 (which can also double as a PC headset).
"Video games are the one of the greatest mediums for escapism, because not only do they allow you to experience a story the same way a book or a movie would... you get to play those characters and interact with that world," he told AAP.
"There is massive amounts of data and use cases coming from blockchain technology's multi-chain world, and insights and pkvgames data from centralized data stores ... and Space and Time sits at the bridge that links them," Holiday said.
Do any of these headsets work with phones?
The old world of phone-based VR headsets -- like the Samsung Gear VR and Google Daydream -- are basically dead. A good number of the current iPhone, Android and VR app options don't even work with the old mobile VR goggles. The Quest 2 does have a phone app for streaming content for a parent to monitor, and can receive phone notifications and sync some health data for workouts, but it's still not fully integrated with phones. If smartphone-based VR comes back, it will more likely be in the form of small headsets that plug into phones via USB-C for VR content, VR gaming and other uses.
The Quest 2 reminds me of the Nintendo Switch for its versatility and fun, and it has a growing library of surprisingly effective fitness apps. The Quest 2 can also connect with a PC to run more advanced apps from Steam or Meta's own app library, or wirelessly.
The cost of a new VR headset might be going up these days, but the quality of VR experiences still makes the price tag worth it. The best headset out there, the $400 Quest 2 offers a completely wireless experience, with access to a huge library of fantastic games like Resident Evil 4 and The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners -- it can also be connected to a PC to play titles like Half-Life: Alyx. Yes, it's a great time to get into VR, but it might get even better in the coming months.
