Readit NewsThis was true for our house mid-peninsula: The appraised value of the land was 95% of the purchase price; the appraised value of the structure was less than the cost to bulldoze.
Given the proximity to Los Altos, this house will be purchased by a developer & razed, and they'll build a new 4000-sqft 2-story which will be listed for $5M+.
Just curious: is there a reason to create your own site for this? Instead of listing on things like Sketchfab?
They seem to support public domain for a long time already: https://sketchfab.com/blogs/community/sketchfab-launches-pub...
I actually tried something like this and talked to lots of potential users about this (during 2020 pandemic). But the willingness to pay for the camera is quite low.
But I'm wondering whether I can pass if I don't speak up at all? Or just passively play along?
1/ Hubs and spoke (https://hubs.mozilla.com/spoke) are trying to solve the problem of how to composite and deliver 3D assets over web protocol.
1.1/ Unlike jpegs that can be passively embedded into web pages, 3D assets requires active interactions with other objects.
1.2/ Traditionally, we need a 3D game engine to pack all the assets into one big binary, then build and ship the binary over cartridge, DVD, or recently Steam.
1.3/ Spoke + Hubs is the new web-based 3D engine, which can potentially revolutionize how we create and access 3D content.
2/ Being a popular, open source, and independent browser company gives Mozilla the position of leading the effort to standardize the convention of the 3D Web.
3/ This is low level tech and worth investing in. Also Mozilla makes decent money (> $500M each year) and this is something they can comfortably afford.
4/ Virtual meeting space is just one use case. Admittedly Hubs' implementation is less than super well polished, but I don't know whether they want to be the 3D Zoom in the long run. But I will say it's pretty neat if we treat it like a tech demo for their Web-based 3D engine.
