Thanks for the feedback! Didn't know if people would like this. If this is interesting, and you'd like to learn more about Ancient Egypt, here are a few more sites that I've worked at: Luxor Temple: https://luxortemple.mused.org/en/guided/178/luxor-temple Tomb of Queen Meresankh III at Giza: https://giza.mused.org/en/guided/4/tomb-of-queen-meresankh-i... I've mostly been working around the Mediterranean, Central Amer…

I'm going on a tour in Luxor & other places in Egypt tomorrow. This amazing, thank you!

Thanks for visiting! Let me know if you have any feedback or questions

>"The ancient historians, like Herodotos, that recorded Khufu, mention that he was a fierce and stern ruler."

>"These accounts are from over 2,000 years after Khufu lived, however, so we might not be able to believe them."

I thought that second sentence was an unnecessary take.

Incredible work bringing so many moving parts together to make such a seamless, immersive experience. Online museums have been an aspiration since the early days of the web, and this exhibit sets a new bar. One slight hiccup I noticed: The guided tour frequently clips through the geometry, which breaks the immersion a bit. I don't know if the Matterport SDK has any facilities for following paths rather than a straigh…

Thanks for the feedback—this is partly due to the way I built the scan tour points. Can revise in the future.

This is really cool. Free explore is really immersive. The guided tour would be better if the movement was on rails instead of glitching through walls though.

Thanks for the feedback—I’ll adjust the tour points and transitions in the future to try to prevent this.

If you open the image modals, and then click next, I see a blurred screen and cannot progress forward/back. react-dom.production.min.js:209 TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'indexOf') at _l.render (ModalImage.tsx:79:21)

Thanks! Will get a fix out for this

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Works great with Quest2 , and it s amazing

with the normal browser?

Yes

Matterport always worked well for me. Surprisingly i have found that some other startups in the VR real estate space do not work at all with the Quest. It's very odd to build a product that doesnt work with the (by far) most popular headset

Incredible. Thank you so much for that. What an incredible project and one I think will make a huge impact for years.

Question. I noticed a very unusual experience I've not felt before in a 3D world; I started to feel claustrophobic - so much so I had to close the tab. I'm curious; has anyone else experienced the same do you know? If so, any ideas why it should be so powerful a feeling in this particular case?
