Hi Everyone! 

I really enjoy writing these blogs. But occasionally I must ask you to be sure to watch the videos. 

In this case the second video. 

And if you do, you will understand "Squad Snaps" so much better. Below is a "Squad Snap!"

"Squad Snaps" are a collaboration between American Bully Manufacturing, a precision machining company, (https://www.americanbullymanufacturing.com/ (The name comes from the owners 2 Pit Bulls),

and Balti Virtual, a full service AR/VR studio. (https://www.baltivirtual.com/). I also like posting pictures of folks websites, but in its case, I must, again, ask you to visit the BV site because it is moving video and tells their virtual reality story. It is deep and has a lot of history.

But let's just say that American Bully and Balti Virtual play in the biggest of leagues, and are from right here in the Baltimore area.

So the BV guys came up with this idea of a virtual reality photo booth. 

They can do the software but needed American Bully to make the attraction. 

Mutual friends got them together and the rest is "history being made." 

So far there are eight of these "booths" being used by both football and baseball teams. (two were installed at M&T Bank last season.) This is a no brainer to say that every team in every pro sports will want one of these, eventually a NO BRAINER. 

Watch the videos. Trust me. 

You will see when K2 has his photo taken with LJ, and ZF! Also watch the third video where we discuss  both companies past work. Like American Bully making some parts for the James Webb telescope, and Balti Virtuoal doing Dungeons and Dragons.(You read that correct.)

Marty B!
