Are you bored with http://openphotovr.org and its time to find a new project?

You did a really good job on it. Maybe you can create a business around it?

I'm not bored with it and will definitely continue doing what its users ask me to do, but it was started explicitly as a non-profit: all photos are Creative Commons licensed and the code is GPL.

http://openphotovr.org/ is really cool, good work! I uploaded a small set, and it was very easy to make a 3d scene.

I'm sure people would be willing to pay to be able to host a viewer on their own site. For example, companies may put a 3d scene of their office on their jobs listing page. Or restaurants, museums, universities, and so forth would do well to have one on their site.

Thanks! Actually you can already host a viewer on your own site for free, see the help page for how.
