Has anyone considered the supply vs demand problem or perhaps there's a better way to phrase it?
Yes, that is a VERY attention grabbing presentation for consumers.
Why is it dead in the market?
Lets consider the SUPPLIERS.
I would love to buy antique used electronic gear off ebay with a full high res 3-d model of the actual device I'm buying. Lets say its a Tek 700 series oscilloscope because I love paying insane shipping fees, or maybe I'm just insane (note WRT this being an insane hobby, I need lead-silver solder, vacuum tube tester, etc). I need full photographic high res 3-d models of that particular scope including all its "problem areas" and partially replaced 'black-beauty' capacitors (or are those a HP-only thing?) and partially replaced leaky electrolytics and toasty looking resistors and all kinds of fascinating detail, including exterior shots, and all sub-chassis inside the machine.
The problem is IRL you're pragmatically honestly lucky to get a single real photo of the device you're buying; not uncommon for someone to copy a pix of someone elses device when selling you theirs. "well its close enough' and in a certain defocused abstract sense that's even true...
So ... we've solved the viewer-consumer side but who's going to generate the models for most realistic apps? Like consider clothing sales online. I need a new shirt for the gym, and its cool in an abstract sense that I could see "a model" wearing my future shirt, but I'd be pretty interested in the experience of seeing "me" in the shirt as opposed to the model.
Where is the data going to come from, if/when we have a way to display it? I think this is the business problem where the display tech is stuck...
