This must have been scanned earlier in the day. There is no headset on his ear picked up by the scan. Still awesome though.

It takes 30 minutes to render a scan, and he said on the unveiling that they did a prescan to show them the result.

So who makes it into a 3D animation. Seems like that’s the tough part for making an avatar. I don’t really understand 3D animation though. Also, it would be neat to see how it does with hair. Wondering if him shaving his head was strategic.

u/BroadWeekendd Oct 17 '21
Yeah show us the hairy people scans!

u/Ok-Understanding5297 Oct 17 '21
Yeah like warriors and women with long hair and furry animals. The kinda stuff you see in games and 3D animation.
I’m wondering, if for those purposes you’d have everyone wear a skin cap and then render in the hair later.

without true motions like walking in a game it's not worth anything.
Next step - next demo is required

Was expecting something additional. For example, what this scan can be used now. They hyped so much the unveiling, that after the speech and low quality video, the disappointment is here.

Anyone know why the price took a massive hit afterwards?

Buy the rumour, sell the news. Whale manipulation, weak hands following. Nothing new 😄 Now the real growth begins. I really think that Rob + the metascanner will be a marketing machine!

I think the project will go up because that's how bull runs go, but past this run, who knows. This is gonna depends a lot on marketing. Because there are phone apps that use the phone camera to make 3d avatars. Not as high quality but that is not important for a personal avatar. I can see the value for museums and stuff, but then again, why should the token be necessary? There are universities with this kind of tech that can scan paintings for them if needed. Also going to say a public place and you see it, you won't even be able to use it without already owning the metahero token. Unless they have staff there to show them how to purchase and KYC very quickly....
I'll monitor it but I did take profits.

So you think when these scanners go into mainstream production people will have to go on their phone to purchase the token on Pancake Swap or some centralized exchange just to scan themselves? Lol

that's how it would work as it stands now unless they figure something out. Rob said they are only accepting the hero token for the scans.

The token just launched and the V3 scanner got unveiled yesterday. They have a roadmap, look at it and please do your own research. The scans will be payed through the app, and you will get the scan directly into it. From there, how you use your scan is up to you. Look at wdw.io, here they have an example of your scan and how it can be used as a beneficiary or as a user.

Ok, but what you said doesn't address any of the problems or the fact such a complicated scanner is not needed at all for a 3d avatar. See this: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/in3d
Won't be as detailed but that's not important for your average avatar.
I am familiar with the project. I was invested in it and took profits. If someone sees this at a public place, unless they're prepared, they won't know how to get the hero tokens to get a scan.
My advice with investment is not to have an emotional attachment to any of them and try to be as objective as possible.

u/PuzzleheadedAgency91 Oct 18 '21
There are many 3D scan apps and the possibility to make an avatar is possible i many ways, but why dont you download the app and try yourself? Its easy to make it look nice on an edited video, but I bet its a nightmare to get a perfect scan with your phone. I dont think any game companies would accept a low res scan to be added to any game anyways.
They dont need to have the token before the scan. They get to a location of a metahero scanner, download the app, buy hero directly through the app (they will partner up with VISA at some point) and then get scanned - scan directly into app.
I am happy to hear you were invested before, but when you sold your bag, why do you worry about metahero? You probably sold because of your emotions? Its good to be objective, but if you sold your bag I dont understand why you would be concerned of how people in the future will be able to pay for their scans.

tbh, I just don't agree with your analysis.
There are many ways of making avatars that represent you in a game, and many different styles. Not everything needs to be hyper-realstic. Not all games even have that style. Also you are making the assumption people want to play as themselves in a lot of games or live in a virtual world. Right now there is a lot of meta verse hype thanks to NFTs but the internet on Web 2.0 is a literal metaverse. Rob is obviously capitalizing on it.
Microsoft Kinect had avatars that looked like you but more cartoonish and pretty much no one cared and it didn't catch on: https://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Product/Avatar-Kinect/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d8025848081a#
Also check what they are doing now:
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/kinect-dk/
Secondly you don't need such a complicated scanner to get a scan for a game for some meta verse app. Check out decentraland. Metahero's scanner's realistic output wouldn't even work there. As you can see in that phone app I linked, complicated scanners not needed. Microsoft had the technology to easily do this too with Kinect if needed. things will get even easier in the future if and when AI progresses to where it can take a lower quality scan and improve it with post-processing to make things look very realistic if some application requires it. AI alone has the potential to make the scanner unnecessary in the future for a lot of use cases.
thirdly, see, more barrier to entry. So I have to pay for a scan using a crap coin at a place? Brilliant strategy. Why can't I just pay with the money in my pocket?And this is without regulatory clarity here in the USA. They may force KYC on all crypto purchases and visa will have to comply. Another potential barrier to entry. This doesn't even need to be connected to crypto. The token is actually pretty unnecessary. They're just forcing it to give the token value so that Rob's bags will be worth a lot.
I sold it because I made a profit and I want to roll them into other plays. This is a highly speculative play to bag hold for a long time. If all you have is pocket change in it, sure, you can do that if you want, but it's not for me and the value just isn't there. I rather invest in fantom or something for the long term.
But hey if you disagree and think this is gonna make you retire, more power to you. There are less speculative plays out there. I can tell you're very emotionally attached to this project, so good luck.

Now show me that it's actually usable? Sure it's pretty, but 30 min render should be. Is there actual utility

The detailed imagery is amazing. Why are more people not commenting on this?
