VR EXHIBITION “EXPERIENCE TESLA” COMING TO THE WMF
What’s it like to stand next to Tesla in his hydroelectric power plant at Niagara Falls, assist him in Colorado Springs or on the platform of the tower on Long Island? What was Tesla’s room like in the famous “New Yorker” hotel, and what was his vision of the future? These scenes are part of the VR exhibition “Experience Tesla” which is coming to the Weekend Media Festival. Behind this unique project is Direct Media, which donated the VR exhibition to the Nikola Tesla Museum in Belgrade for the 160th anniversary of the birth of the great scientist and fifteen years of successful operations of the company.
“How crazy you have to be to start a VR project?” is the title of the presentation that will be held on this occasion on Friday, 23 September, by Voljena Daničić, Innovate & New Media Manager of Direct Media, and Vitomir Jevremović, author of the exhibition and director of Digital Mind.

RETAILERS CAN NOW BUY FACEBOOK ADS THAT ONLY RUN IF THE RIGHT PRODUCTS ARE IN STOCK
It’s an ongoing challenge for retail CMOs to justify to their CFOs that digital ads drive in-store sales. So one can imagine the teeth-gnashing that must take place whenever brick-and-mortar players realize the products in their digital ads were out of stock for a significant time during a campaign. Facebook is therefore debuting a system called “dynamic ads for retail” that will, in theory, eliminate the above pain point. These new ads are designed to allow merchants to only serve Facebook promos of products that are actually available in a chain brand’s location. They come just in time for the holidays, as brands finalize their fourth-quarter ad budgets.
The ads, which are priced on a cost-per-thousand-impressions (CPM) rate, are currently being tested in the US by companies Abercrombie & Fitch, Argos, Macy’s, Target and Pottery Barn. They’ll become more widely available to brands in the coming weeks.
FACEBOOK ACQUIRES NASCENT OBJECTS

CEO of Nascent Objects Baback Elmieh announced the move on the company’s homepage, while Facebook confirmed the acquisition for Re/code, saying that Elmieh and “other key members” of Nascent Objects were joining the company.
Facebook’s Building 8 group was formed in April to drive advancements in connectivity hardware, and it is led by Regina Dugan, former head of Google’s advanced technology and projects group.
Dugan shared the video below on Facebook, illuminating the work done by Nascent Objects.
Imagine designing, building and delivering a hardware product in just weeks. Instead of months, or even years.
Nascent Objects, a 2016 FastCo Design ‘Innovation by Design’ finalist, has brought this closer to reality with their modular electronics platform. And they’re joining Facebook to work with us in Building 8. Together, we hope to create hardware at a speed that’s more like software.
