Hi friends,
I'm Nick. This is Roometron, my first project that I managed to launch by myself while being a web developer and having a full-time job.
I started working on it in 2019, so it took almost 5 years to deliver a beta version now.
It was both a fun and challenging journey. I didn't expect things to go so slowly, but anyway, I'm happy to announce it's finally launched.
What is Roometron?
Roometron is a tool that converts floor plans into 3D apartments. It is VR-ready, highly performant, fast, efficient, and affordable due to its incredible automation.
Feel free to ask any questions.
Cheers.
- yieldcrv 2y agoHave you consulted a language model on other possible product names? Wasn’t very possible in 2019 but has been my goto since 2022
- streakolay 2y agoNo, I didn't. I've been stick with the name before AI massively spread around
- blensor 2y agoVR ready? Well that's interesting, I have to check it out. You probably should mention that on the front page somewhere
- streakolay 2y agoIt's not mentioned because I didn't add a WebXR support to the viewer yet, but the concept allows to do it shortly enough.
- rtb 2y agoSo what do you mean by "It is VR-ready"? You plan to add VR in the future?
- streakolay 2y agoMeans that technology are compatible with VR headsets. I will add VR support near time, no worries:)
- JCharante 2y agoany chance of vision pro support?
- streakolay 2y agoIt's going to work with any of VR headsets that support WebXR
- moralestapia 2y agoHi Nick, I have nothing more to say but congratulations, the whole project is put together really well, one can see that this thing was crafted with love. I hope it does well in the market and you can profit off your work in here. Best of luck!
- streakolay 2y agoThank you so much:)
- johschmitz 2y agoNice. Feature request: In the top/overview view I would like to be able to tap on each room and then the pivot point should move to the center of that room. After a double tap or tap on the top view button the pivot point should move back to the apartment center point. This will help zooming easily into each room from above.
- streakolay 2y agoYeah, nice notice. I believe I will find time to implement such or similar features with the future updates.
- hnthrow289570 2y agoDoes this accept the floorplans you see on apartment websites, or can it accept draft floorplans like this? https://starttofinishdrafting.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/2-min-1.jpg https://starttofinishdrafting.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08...
- andy_ppp 2y agoThat is a great feature idea!
- streakolay 2y agoYes, this one might be processed manually.
- indigoabstract 2y agoHi Nick, I'm probably not in the target audience, but still, it looks lovely, I've enjoyed exploring the 3d part. As a suggestion, a full screen button for the 3d scene would be nice, as I don't have VR, just a regular monitor. And if you're feeling adventurous, you could maybe even add WASD support for greater immersion. But that's a bit of work, as you would probably also have to include a physics lib for dealing with collisions. Also, I almost didn't see the "try it out" link. All the best with your project!
- mft_ 2y agoAgree - WSAD or just cursor keys would make it really 'walking' - currently it's more like 'click to jump' :) Also, could you tweak you algorithm to have the geometry deform less at the edges of the viewport? At the moment it's a little extreme and distracting.

- megadal 2y agoWhat BIM formats does it support?
- streakolay 2y agoI don't think it's ever will be possible to show a BIM model in this tool, but rather to convert 3D file from Roometron to BIM formats is possible.
- matthewhartmans 2y agoHey Nick, Congratulations on the launch and well done for getting it out there in the wild! Looks cool at a glance and wishing you all the best with it!
- streakolay 2y agoThanks so much!
- peteforde 2y agoHey Nick, congrats on the launch. I created an account with the intention of kicking the tires, but I have hit wall after wall and I never actually got to the cool 3D part. If you take one thing from this message, I strongly urge you to make sure that new accounts start with a sample project in the list which people can play with to see what to expect. In my case, I don't have a floor plan or know my square meters. I went onto Google images and borrowed a plan to upload. The TL;DR is that it seems like I have to pay $33 to see what this place would look like in 3D, and that's when I bounced. I'm curious, but I'm not that curious. After the sample project, I hope that you will add a 2-3 minute onboarding video to show people how to get started. Getting dropped into any interface with only a vague idea of what is supposed to happen is a guaranteed way to lose 90% of your visitors to unnecessary friction. Make it stupid simple to get started. Give people a look at the outcome so that they know what to covet.
- streakolay 2y agoI didn't really expect such a curiosity and my initial idea is to make this tool beneficial for real estate agencies and builders and only then try to make it useful for a wide audience :) Thanks for you interest and feedback.
