It's good. How is ww.com doing now? I'm actually in a similar situation with ope...

Slowly dying, and has been doing so for the last 5 years or so. There is a lot of competition out there and we've shrunk little by little.

We're in talks with a company about some major move though, so maybe we can get it to be top of the line again without breaking the bank.

To be honest, in spite of making tons of money from it I really can't get excited over webcams any more, it's been enough. Time for fresh blood.

You know, mentioning that ww.com is NSFW would've been nice. I just visited the home page and was greeted by a picture of some guy touching himself. Gross.

That's another excellent reason why I want to get rid of it. Sorry about that, it definitely isn't intended to be NSFW but there always seems to be people that find great fun in shocking others.

Once again, my apologies. We try what we can to keep the jerks out but it is altogether an impossible task to continuously monitor 400+ video streams for abuse.

I like what you're doing with openphotovr.org. I've seen too many private research projects and not enough released software in the general arena of putting 2D images into a 3D scene. If you could add the ability to generate a polygon mesh (or at least voxels), that would be sweet...

Thanks! I'm always on the lookout for new simple things to do with openphotovr, unfortunately any kind of 3D reconstruction is still too complex to make work reliably.

Have you worked with hugin or panotools? You could do something similar to find common points in images instead of having to map images by hand.
