Want to say something else for me is very hard to figure out what to focus it. That's why I open the topic to see some opinions that are from people with a different perspective from mine. Let's say that I need a help from outside because I am trying to find that answer from years. What would be your choice if you were me?

Thank you for adding more information about yourself and your situation. A couple of suggestions ... 1. Enrol in a English as a second language course. London is the centre from which the English speaking world spread. I know many people who have completed English courses and their careers and successes took off. When you can communicate better, you will be more confident, be able to negotiate better, etc. 2. If you are interested in pursuing an architectural career, find out what you need to do in order to upgrade your education to become registered in the UK. I'm not familiar with architecture registration requirements. For an engineer (electrical/civil/mechanical) those with overseas academic credentials are able to complete bridging courses in 1-2 years part-time and attain professional recognition. 3. Although your ideas for AR in the context of historical homes and places is very good, it is actually a fairly large project. Since you appear to have only entry level programming experience, you might be better off researching whether such projects are already underway somewhere. If not, then designing the "product" and then building a team to achieve that goal. But ... 4. Startups get a lot of publicity, but the news is very much tainted by survivor bias. There is very little written about the thousands of great ideas that putter out and disappear. The reasons are manifold, lack of technical leadership, lack of appropriate venture capital, lack of suitable team, lack of commercially viable market. The UK startup scene is more risk averse than that you read about about Silicon Valley; And ... 5. It is easier to build a professional network of contacts, when you have worked in an industry. Being on the outside, looking in is a lot harder than when on the inside looking to expand vistas. IMHO I would suggest doing the English language course and then getting your professional qualifications up to UK requirements. Work in the industry so that you can build a professional network. Then you will have a more substantial background from which to re-evaluate your startup ideas. GOOD LUCK !

  Thank you for your comment. I was limited with 2000chr that's why I do not add in my first post. 1. English will be my priority until I learned as perfectly to speak in front of public. 2.Yes for sure I will need to get registered in the UK. I will figure out wich is the best way to do it. 3. I am interested in startups but at the moment I am not found something similar to the idea. Yes, this project can grow and to be very big but unfortunately, my lack of confident English speaking stop me to find a good team or to convince people that this is a good idea. 4.Yes, it is very risky to pass all this way because have many things that can fail. 5.Yes, probably I will try to find a job and work somewhere until I polish my missing skills Thank you CyberFonic.Will be better for me to follow a career path before try to build something on my own. I appreciate your help.
