Hi fellow makers and hunters and thanks for checking out WikiSpaces 3D 🪐! (admittedly, am a bit nervous as I launch my first product here, so go easy on me šŸ˜„) šŸ™‹ā€ā™‚ļø who am I? My name's Linus (@linusgeffarth) and I've been building WikiSpaces on and off last year. But what's this all about? 🄄 in a nutshell WikiSpaces 3D is about enabling people to go places *virtually*, where they couldn't go otherwise (physically), by providing a collection of such places as 3d-scans, "spaces" 🪐, explorable in VR (yes, also with vr glasses). (3D-scans made with Matterport.) There are already some really cool spaces: from Boeing 747 cockpits to Egyptian temples or the LeBron James Arena! šŸ¤” but why? Mainly, it's about providing educational value and making knowledge accessible: in the times of the COVID-19 pandemic, students are not able to visit interesting places like museums or galleries; but if said place has been 3d-scanned and shared on WikiSpaces, students can visit it virtually. But it's really about everyone: some of the spaces allow exclusive visits to places you could normally never go to, such as a Boeing 747 cockpit (unless your friend's friend is a pilot of course, ha), or simply places far far away. šŸ’° really free? Yes absolutely! Just like Wikipedia aims to share knowledge for free, WikiSpaces does too. Building WikiSpaces has been possible only because the šŸ‡ŖšŸ‡ŗ EU has provided generous funding (subsidies) for this project. What about user-submitted content though? All spaces are shared under the CC BY 4.0 license. šŸ‘‰ what now? Check out the featured spaces, or scroll down to the explore page and check out a space (or two if you'd like šŸ˜). There are already some really cool spaces, from Boeing 747 cockpits to Egyptian temples or the LeBron James Arena! And then I'd love it if you could spread the word, share a link, and follow me on twitter @wikispaces3d (I'll be a bit more active there soon šŸ¤ž) ā“ Questions? As away! Looking forward to hearing y'all's thoughts! šŸ™
