Miksi Early Access?

We have big ambitions for Altar Show: a fully featured productivity tool that inherently augments your intelligence through spatial thinking. Exciting, right?!

Before we realize that vision, we have to finish building out important features such as: robust administrative privileges, Cloud storage, the ability to view spatial documents in 2D, templates for turning your spatial documents into presentations, and more. The core application is complete, and now we're working on features to seamlessly integrate Altar Show into your existing workflows.

Miten kauan Early Access -vaihe suunnilleen kestää?

We anticipate Altar Show being in Early Access for six months.

Millä tavoin lopullinen versio tulee eroamaan Early Access -versiosta?

The full version of Altar Show will differ from the Early Access version in a number of ways. To list a subset of some potential differences:

• Full VR-VR collaboration.
  
• VR-Desktop collaboration.
  
• Expanded support for importing external content. Examples of planned file formats include .FBX and .CSV, although this is subject to change.
  
• Content created in Altar Show will be accessible through 2D interfaces for use on-the-go (such as mobile AR).
  
• A significantly expanded feature-set focused on spatial thinking.
  
• A web interface for quickly populating your virtual environment with content.
  
• Viewing/presentation mode.
  
• Integrations with cloud storage services.

Hinnoitellaanko sovellus toisin Early Accessin aikana ja sen jälkeen?

As we start to roll in more functionality the application, we’ll transition from free to a freemium model. In other words, expanded functionality may be made available through a subscription, as opposed to the free version.

Miten yhteisö otetaan mukaan kehitysprosessiin?

Bugs: we do our best to squash all bugs before shipping, but some inevitably slip through the cracks. When our Early Access users notify us of a bug, we’ll fix it as soon as humanly possible.

Features: we have a roadmap in mind, but that roadmap is really dependent on what our users want to see! We’ll be frequently polling users for which features they like and don’t like, and which features they’d like to see.
