Hey, not sure if anybody has used KickStarter.com yet, but we recently created our own KickStarter project: Create The Matrix - A Fully Immersive Simulation System (a new type of hackerspace) by ImTech — Kickstarter.

We see it as a potential source for 'seed' funding .. and there's some great funds that have been raised for other projects like Diaspora. We've already gotten some biz-dev deals out of it from the exposure.

Let me know if you ever decide to launch your own KickStarter project, and I can let you know how we put ours together.

Congrats.. I once thought about KickStarter, I am still considering applying but just been too busy to create a solid page and videos and such.

Nice video!

I like the idea aswell.
Altough I am having a little trouble understanding the practical aspects of the idea.

I dont have any knowledge in this technology,but assuming you got the equipment and "lab" - how is the process of creating the "virtual platforms" going to work?

@DavidLA we're going to open up an SDK (programming platform) to developers, so anybody can create their own virtual world. Think of as providing an instruction book for HTML, then providing the first web server for people to put their stuff on. This is similar, but 3D surround

@JamesF yeah, time is always a tradeoff .. it took us a couple of weeks to put it together, but consider this - if we get funded, that's $20k in our pocket for a couple weeks of work! Not bad ROI!
