Hi guys, thanks for the feedback, we really appreciate it.

The tech isn't new, however the execution and spin we put to it is, main reason behind this was to show case our team in a different manner than everybody else typically does.

If you really want to differentiate yourselves, allow users to post their decks on THEIR web pages instead of forcing users to your site. THIS would be a value many would pay for.

One other thing. I asked my tech-not-so-savvy wife to watch it, and her issue was the frame that said "this deck took 4 days...".

"FOUR DAYS!!!" she cried... forget it. Perhaps you should frame that "frame" better. How long does a deck take to make from start to finish? What's the tech level required?

Ideally, a deck should be able to be made from scratch in minutes.

you miss understood, we created the entire space + the deck in 4 days from scratch in webGL

if we were to replicate this experience for anyone it would take 5 minutes to setup as easy as uploading photos.

valid point - I think it's unique in the application of the technology more than anything else. They seem to think outside the box in all the right ways.

this is one of the most unique showcases of a team's talent that I've ever seen. very well done through-and-through.

I have been through a couple of startups, sold one, blah blah blah... It's usually the guy who is labeled "genius" that gets cut first :) Interesting concept, but hardly new... this was what SecondLife looked like 5 years ago.
