Ask YC: Status of your startup

Re:Ask YC: Status of your startup by cousin_it on Saturday February 02, 2008 @07:28AM (#108332)

I launched http://openphotovr.org (virtual reality from photos) very quietly yesterday night. A non-profit, my midnight oil hobby project. After two months of development I feel it's time to go online, maybe get some visitors. No rush. Already see glaring mistakes in the UI :-)

LOVE IT! (reminds me of the Photosynth demo @ Ted Talks)

Yes, Photosynth was the inspiration, but I managed to avoid the stages of image analysis and 3D reconstruction =)

The main problem right now is non-intuitive interface. It's hard to predict where the camera will go when you click. Working on it.

Thanks! What would you do next if you were me?

Incorporate before MS sues you.

OpenPhotoVR is only superficially like Photosynth: I don't do image analysis, 3D reconstruction, or 3D display. And my project is non-profit. And I'm in Russia.
