So that shows you the kind of vision that the dragons have when it comes to emerging technologies..:) I'm sure he's glad they didn't invest now :)) Just to let you know that the virtual puppet has won awards at the iiapa theme park conference in las Vegas 2 years running for best new technology and best show production..

My company works with augmented reality products much akin to the puppet. And frankly it isn't that difficult to find people willing to spend that kind of money on similar products. Think of using it at theme parks like universal studios, or mixing it with interactive, personalised films and of course corporate events etc.. The list goes on. If you do a search, the guys that presented the virtual puppet have become quiet successful, working with Coke, Disney etc, so frankly the Dragons Den kinda screwed up. But yep your right, the guys didn't sell it well. But someone out there hooked it up pretty fast. I'll be giving them a call today myself. The virtual puppet is a great idea.

I don't see it selling as they intended as the cast are to high for the limited use. If you do want to sell 1000's of these devices, scrap your 3d puppet idea, as you need to aim them at the 3d animation market. You will need to create application plugins for programs like 3d studio max & Cinema 4D plus other, where by the persons actions can animate their own 3d character in real time. Aim this product at 3d animation companys and colleges etc and you will sell many. Everyone has seemed to have missed the larger application for the virtual puppet product!

Useless hagged irratating never invests just sits the whinging because she probably hasnt got any money, hopefully. Really is pointless having her there. Deborah your sh1t GO AWAY . miserable bint. The rest are great though and i have an enormous amount of respect/admiration for them. I hate deborah meaden.

I've updated the table, and it hasn't affected the standings, other than Deborah is now ahead of James due to having made more investments rather than just alphabetically. That is, of course unless I've made any more "deliberate" mistakes? Hi Mouse, Well done on spotting the deliberate mistake ;)

It does look like the Hungry House investment didn't go ahead, so Duncan's still making a profit out of the series (as he will be paid a significant appearance fee) - Den review investment league table rules dictate that it is still counted towards the table though. The puppet guys didn't convey any potential use for the product really. I think they expected the dragons to watch their pitch, go "wow" and hand over £200k - the guy who wasn't controlling the puppet must have said about two words throughout the entire pitch? Thanks for your comments Rob.

No idea about the costings and if it makes business sense with their figures, but I was really disappointed they weren't able to really convey to the judges any real life applications for it. I actually thought it could work great in museums etc where you might have historical figures virtualised to help bring some of the exhibits to life. Like you might have a virtual Anne Boleyn at the Tower of London answer questions on what it's like to have your head chopped off etc. I must admit, I thought that the virtual puppet thing was a good idea.
