<h3>Funding FAQ</h3>
|
|
|
|
<b>Q: Are we talking VC-money?</b><br>
|
|
<b>A:</b> Think microgrants / no-cure-no-pay funding of digital commons, think <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmopolitan_localism" target="_blank">cosmolocalism</a>.
|
|
|
|
<hr/>
|
|
|
|
<b>Q: Is it easy to get (my game) funded (made with Unity/Unreal)?</b><br>
|
|
<b>A:</b> Indirectly funding/promoting proprietary engines with public money is tough (public money public code).<br>
|
|
|
|
<hr/>
|
|
|
|
<b>Q: Which Open XR engines are preferred?</b><br>
|
|
<b>A:</b> Preferred are Fully Opensource XR <b>Browser</b>engines like:
|
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><a href="https://github.com/jbaicoianu/janusweb" target="_blank">JanusWeb (WebXR) ♥️</a></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
Or roll your own XR hypermedia browser (via <a href="https:/xrfragment.org" target="_blank">XR Fragments</a> e.g.):
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><a href="https://godot.org" target="_blank">Godot (OpenXR/WebXR)</a></li>
|
|
<li><a href="https://lovr.org" target="_blank">loVR (OpenXR)</a></li>
|
|
<li><a href="https://threejs.org" target="_blank">THREE.js (WebXR)</a></li>
|
|
<li><a href="https://babylonjs.com" target="_blank">Babylon.js (WebXR)</a></li>
|
|
<li><a href="https://monado.dev/" target="_blank">Monado (OpenXR)</a></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|

♥️ = janusweb has the highestlocal-first XR hyperedia-factor, see <a href="https://coderofsalvation.github.io/janus-guide/#/wiki/translators" target="_blank">translators</a>, <a href="https://coderofsalvation.github.io/janus-guide/#/wiki/polyglot-files" target="_blank">polyglot</a> and <a href="https://coderofsalvation.github.io/janus-guide/#/wiki/addressibility" target="_blank">addressibility</a> and runs on desktop/phone/headset all-at-once.

|
<b>Q: Regarding hyperlinking, is linking to a webpage enough?</b><br>
|
|
<b>A:</b> Most games or WebXR-sites are shallow-linked disjointed XR experiences (not hypermedia), basically:
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<cite>
|
|
"We don't want customers to leave our premise"
|
|
</cite>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
A much more interesting is <b>seamless XR hypermedia</b> surfing: by interlinking 3D files <b>immersively</b> via <a href="https://xrfragment.org" target="_blank">(XR Fragment) URLs</a> or <a href="https://coderofsalvation.github.io/janus-guide/" target="_blank">JanusWeb</a>.<br>See the difference below:<br><br>
|
|
<img src="asset/img/xrhypermedia.jpg" style="width:100%;border-radius:7px;max-width:900px;filter: invert(1) hue-rotate(155deg)"/>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<b>Rule of thumb</b>: if the XR content can be selfhosted <b>by users</b> separately from <b>the XR viewer</b>, you're on the right track.
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<hr/>
|
|
|
|
<b>Q: Crypto?</b><br>
|
|
<b>A:</b> Not really, because of price volatility and regulatory/AML compliance hurdles. Privacy mechanisms like <a href="https://www.taler.net/en/index.html" target="_blank">TALER</a> can be discussed though.
