No. You are not declining. You just need a break. Go out with friends. Do some Sports, socialise. Take oxygen.
I am 55 and still ok.

- Creating a startup is fun & rather EASY success.
It's not. It's never been. It will never be.
I am fifty three: I now know.
I also was a teenager then a young adult, influenced by "entrepreneurs" of their time.
Entrepreneurs dream is RISKY.
Start-up's future is 90% of the time doomed.
Worse : Chance plays a big role.
In 2017 The website was closed.
Overall for a decade I had 10.000 unik visitors / month. Impactfull I would say
But still... The very limited part of Matterport is that it is "mostly" a series of 360 photos.
Now, because a pyramid is mainly a long corridor, you do not see too much those limitations.
So great.

But not the solution witch I bet, has had many differents solutions.
This one solution ( 'slices od 2D'), one century old, still used in 3D laser scanning and printing, is poised to have a more robust and fine grained one.
Also a reminder that the 3D scanning is still unchanged after 1 century. Odd...
- But why ? 1) Because it was the good solution ? Maybe....
2) Because no one has had the new-thing that will level up the way we do 3D scanning ? I hope so
I also think it is best to keep a job in the beginning. At least keeping a half time job. In France we have a great unemployment benefit (2/3 of salary Netto). This is great for founders to be full-time on the project on the first year and a half. I used it.
According to many business Angel, unemployment benefits counts for the BIG majority of 'investment' in a startup.
So, This is ho I get ideas for projects.just observe the world of man-made-built
Ps : I knew today's Standard technology was 360°photos. But I was convinced this was not an immersive enough technology.
Immersion, for me, should feel more like a video game FPS.
So I gave it a try: - A No-Coding Editor, just photos as input, plus 20 minutes of clicks and you have your immersion.
Solo project
( load twice to play )
I really will definitely try it out for my free-visit builder installer. If it works well like some have said, boy you saved my day ♥. Love
Some people are born more creative and more clever than others. A leader
In our work, when we explains things, even When my brother does his YouTube family video... we always follow "today's" way of doing things. It does feel ok, but it taste like déjà-vue.
I find it so more captivating when suddenly a unik-and-personal approach steals the show.
Even if the personal approach can be wrong or ridiculous, it feels always very fresh, compare to the me-too explanation.
It's sharp, it's bare bone, it's naked, it's trurth.
It's worth
All the trend of VR usually forgets that until now it was very difficult ( & costly) to have the 3D scan. Of shops, malls, indoor homes, cities, so we can get web users to immerse into. This excites me because it is happening now.
Examples : Matterport, Unity, free-visit ( https://bit.ly/3BIMfwl )
Re: who is your audience ? -Well I would guess photographer who want more than photos : virtual visit
Honestly I do not know yet my target customers... Kickstarter was also a way to find my market, or if there was even one
- Q2 I try to avoid showing to much of the editor because no-patent issue.
- Q3 For now, only tablet, PC or Macintosh
- Q4 you provide the software the floor plan
And moreover : 1) it is higher level : no programming, just cut paste, drag and drop 2) photos are the main data free-visit uses
