Bridging digital technologies and new media properties to streamline the value chain from content creation to consumer experience

Voyant’s goal is to bring innovative technologies, media assets, and strategic partnerships together to deliver next-generation commercial and consumer solutions to enhance our digital lifestyle. Our vision is the culmination of decades of experience in the technology and entertainment industries joined with the market perspective we have regarding the lack of integration, cooperation, and understanding between these two powerful forces that shape our global economy.

We live in a world where everyone is connected - at home, in the office, and on the go. In just the last decade, the internet has empowered consumers with choice, immediate gratification, and the ability to quickly evaluate, purchase, consume, contribute, and share information like never before. The technology and entertainment industries are two of the wealthiest and most dynamic industries on the planet, yet they work, play, and create using very different approaches to business. Voyant sees these two industries as complementary.

With the rapid transition to an increasingly digital world, Voyant plans to capitalize on these changing dynamics by leveraging its intellectual property, strategic acquisitions, and industry relationships to streamline and enhance the business models surrounding Content Creation, Distribution, Processing, and Visualization strategies.

Content Creation

Voyant intends to develop and acquire select media content, with a special focus on our proprietary distribution network. This content may lead us into merchandising opportunities, as well as opportunities to pull through our technology and integrate it into an overall end-user experience.

One example is the internet portal we will create with Sports Immortals for sports memorabilia merchandizing. For the scientific market, a different type of portal might allow the user to access research data on a particular topic. The portal would provide efficient access to disparate data types and would be powered by Voyant’s technologies. The data in the portal would be manipulated through our content processing platforms and distributed using our content distribution technology, while the end user experience would take advantage of our content visualization technologies.

Content Processing

In order to help prepare content for efficient distribution, significant processing is required. Some specific processing technologies of interest to Voyant include encoding, decoding and trans-coding, as well as compression.

Voyant’s team members have significant experience with these technologies, and we are currently pursuing opportunities in these fields.

Content Distribution

Content distribution and management are significant bottlenecks in today’s digital world, and addressing these issues is a strong part of Voyant’s vision to fuse content and technology. Voyant has already begun addressing Content Distribution through RocketStream, a software platform that allows existing networks to work more efficiently.

Voyant also intends to expand the fundamental network infrastructure by leveraging a wide variety of technologies. These technologies range from wireless to fiber optic platforms and include both component- and systems-level intellectual property. With these technologies, Voyant can address many aspects of the distribution network, all the way from the edge to the core.

Content Visualization

Today, the average internet user has access to many types of data: video clips, text, audio, graphics, photographs and more. All of this data is available to us as we learn about particular subjects. Yet today, we have to experience each type of data individually, and we are left to integrate the data and draw conclusions on our own.

Voyant will focus its content visualization efforts on providing an integrated, fused-data experience to the end user. This experience will include content- and context-aware search methodologies, as well as content-interactive presentation and entertainment formats. Voyant intends to build Content Visualization capabilities through acquisitions, joint ventures, investment, and internal development.
