I definitely second the idea that a standalone app downloadable for offline use where we could apply AI maps to our vids would be great. There would be no need for storage on SLR servers/space and then we could get around any legal issues as well since it would only be material we, the end users, would have access to.

Otherwise, what is the plan if any currently to make this standalone AI/Drive/Hub thing? And what will differ about it that will make it permissible if it indeed was legal reasons? Or if it was technology issues/space issues, how it being standalone be better/feasible?

Thanks

    Hairsational Same here. I questioned how this could be legal without getting sued when I first heard about this. I was told it was just like hosting by other companies so I let it go. I might not know much about computers but I do know business in America being an American.

    agreed, have a standalone app thats like an "SLR Player" that can connect to the server, generate ai masks, and haptics, the ai mask and the haptic are encrypted so that hey can only be played within the app. Make the app like 10$ a month or something. you can keep the haptic/ai mask server side but the video file can be local.

      The point of my suggestion of making this a standalone app, is exactly for that reason - Not reliant on online services so the app will work offline. Also to keep the costs down for both host and users - The idea of another subscription just makes me laugh as again the economies of the world are about to implode and the majority of users just won't pay on top of their subs - Maybe include the service with premium as a bonus for monthly subs to keep them tied in to their sub.

      But offer the downloadable version as a one off payment on an app for $19.99 for lifetime subs as this is a new feature and shouldn't be expected.

      It's quite simple provide users a downloadable app for eg $19.99 as a one off payments, possibly annual renewable payments if the app is constantly updated and supported.

      Personally i won't pay for another subscription

      Also i was watching a review of a Bosch washing machine on Youtube which had basic washing features hidden within an app and locked unless the user signed up to online Bosch Services - What type of idiot do you have to be to buy something like that ?

      Every company is trying to coerce users into thinking they need a sub for basic life requirements - It's quite simple - They don't !

      However, this is just a suggestion and won't happen anyway as obviously non of us actually understand how this tech works and whether it can be contained in an app.

        It can easily, but the will is not there and not everyone has good enough hardware anyway.

          Hairsational It can easily, but the will is not there and not everyone has good enough hardware anyway.

          You're probably right, i always just like to speak what i'm thinking (with exceptions) and throw suggestions out there as it can make others think about alternatives which may incorporate some of my ideas and come up with a better solution.

          It would be a shame to waste good tech as half the work has already been done.

          However, i understand now is not a good time for investment in new ideas and maybe this is just a cost cutting as a business it's probably time to batten down the hatches

          In my other world i'm also just watching Boston Legal and the line ' It's the fat biggot and mr puffy tongue ' did make me chuckle - Americans really are good at this sort of stuff - Cheers being one of the best ever !

          Sorry to hear you are going through it.

          What are the chances you could allow the drive scripts to be downloaded as part of our 3+3 downloads a month?

          If not for everyone, what are the chances you could just send me mine? Haha

          considering its been stopped could those of us who have spent money on credits be given the ability to download the scripts we got created, that would be very cool

          Oh well, already over it. How about lets turn our focus to much more interesting things such as "volumetric vr". This is something mindblowing that needs development and attention. Bring this to SLR

            doublevr Can you clearly explain what will happen to those of us that bought the extra drive space and 30 credits? What will happen to our purchased drive space and credits?

            @doublevr any chance to compensate the ppl who bought the extra drive space ? since you guys mentioned nothing will be lost and now everything will be deleted. At least give us a chance to download the videos we have right now with ai pt mask.

            Before SLR Drive says goodbye, I've been uploading short clips of my favorite parts of scenes (Do people watch a scene from beginning to end? In my opinion, no). The combination of AI Passthrough and the DeoVR player features is perfect. @doublevr, I hope the SLR team finds a way to make this viable (technologically and legally) in the future.

              Wait a minute, I'm just catching up. So all the money we spent is going to be for nothing in a couple months? I bought the max space and tokens with the thought that it was going to transition over to the pool service on the full release. It didn't say that we would just be spending our money for a few months just to loose it all

                shayne35 I second this. If there is a way to download our scripts that would be at least something to take the edge off in the event that Drive is actually kaput. Scripting 40 min videos is pretty tiring and there are VR vids that I have had in my damn folder for YEARS that I never got around to scripting because it is just so time consuming even to script one of them.
