Thanks to the addition, Cision’s earned media platform can now track visual as well as text info. In market trends, Martech notes that blockchain is starting to lose its luster. Not only is it proving hard to get a real product, it’s proving difficult to work with and not nearly as transparent as everyone hoped it would be. Some stuff emerged in the augmented reality market this week, according to Martech, including a new headset from Magic Leap. Augmented reality has had a host of negatives to iron out, including positioning problems and visual ticks. Whether the headset circumvents these problems is anyone’s guess. But, Blippar has just put together a new visual positioning system that may help augmented reality products overcome their problems. Also, this week the Ad-experience platform RevJet added a cool 30 million to their funding structure and also added more than three times more workers to their payroll. Oracle Marketing Cloud pundits donned professorial glasses this week and cautioned users about picking and choosing different items from their shelf without knowing how they interact together.
