Why Early Access?

“10k development is currently a bootstrapped operation - a small team is responsible for creating 10k, so we're hoping that a friendly initial user base can help us work out the kinks and support continued development of new features.”

Approximately how long will this software be in Early Access?

“Anywhere from six months to two years, depending on how many people buy the Early Access version and/or if any external funding materializes.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version of 10k includes basic functionality for creating VR experiences out of real data, with your creations tied to your Steam account. The full version will include more data types, more login types/API integrations (e.g. Google Poly sign in), fancier behaviors and visualizer styles, and more robust and easy-to-use UI controls, such as a more advanced color picker. The full version may also include support for viewing on AR or MR devices and/or the web.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently, using an Oculus Rift CV1 or an HTC Vive, you can import 3D models (FBX and OBJ), protein crystal structures, neuron structures, financial time-series data, and photos/images, and place them around you, change their colors, names, and add some (very) basic animated effects. Next steps include support for static 3D backgrounds and more behaviors.”

Will this software be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The base price will likely increase 2 - 3x, and we'll add a subscription option that lets you create private experiences.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We'd love it if the community could help us out by reporting bugs and voting on our potential upcoming features.”
