Smooth, fast 3D viewer
From 3 comments
Not something I need, but after following the "Try it now" button - that is really smooth. Nice work!
Vinnl on HNThe landing page is refreshingly well done. It looks good, loads fast, feels smooth and stable. I also like the price point. It sounds like a lot for a saas, but doing it…
ynniv on HNAbsolutely stunning. From quick play, in first person mode, moving from room to room isn’t as obvious, maybe consider adding a translucent clickable item at the rooms entrance.

Static models; unclear use case versus Matterport and Floorplanner
From 3 comments
The demo is fluid and works well, but I'm not sure I understand what problem this is solving when things like Matterport are already doing this with real images of spaces. It…

cyberbolt23 on HNIt looks nice, well done, but so far I see nothing more than a static 3D model ... so it is difficult to form a good opinion, unfortunately.

Blurry rendering on high-DPI displays
From 1 comment
