Promising Concept - To show or not to show ??? (Link inside)
EDIT : More Informations about our project here : viewtopic.php?f=29&t=6669
Hi guys !
So I am confronted to a very hard decision.
A dev friend and I have been working on a concept that we think could be a huge revolution in the VR and telepresence fields.
Since we are only students we only had few days to work on it during the last two months, but we already have a promising prototype and some contacts with a lab that might help us in bringing it a step further. We also have some people ready to invest a bit of money on the project, probably enough for a nice start.
Now the problem is that our concept is great because it's simple and pretty damn efficient. Anyone with some skills and money could steal it and do it. We like the idea of open sources projects but we would also like to open a business thanks to this new "technology".
We didn't want to talk about it at all before having a more advanced prototype and some work from the lab, but we are also really scared that someone out there might have the same idea and might show it to you before we do.
So what should we do ? Should we keep it for ourselves until it is advanced enough or should we decide to keep you informed at every step of the project even if it means showing it to people with more means than us ?
