So we keep rolling on and these past few days have seen us gaining a little bit of traction in the world of unforgiving media responders. The haters have seemed to have settled down a bit at they become more informed and I’m constantly in the process of keeping the KickStarter updated and questions answered as fast as I can get to them. I’ve had over 500 emails in 3 days…I kinda feel like Jim Carey in “Bruce Almighty” when he’s answering prayers via email.

Anyway, I spent a good part of the morning getting some more professional pictures in place, which required me to make a cheap light box so I could get the shots I needed. They came out pretty well and most will be on the KickStarter page shortly. The pic up top is an example of what I’ve been doing today.

So, we’re gonna keep hitting this hard and will be pushing every second of every day to get to our goal. It’s up there, but I know there are enough people out there that want this to succeed and I hope it’ll get there in time!

More updates as I have them, but stay tuned!

 

Not more than a day and a half into our KickStarter campaign and we’re lighting up the tech blogs and creating a bit of a buzz about this! We’re up over $11,000 and are pacing for our goal, but it’s going to be an uphill battle before too long as the praise is almost  out matched by the hate. haha.

But with any project such as this, going on a scale such as this, we knew this was going to be a reality. But, press is press, good or bad and this is what we need to get the word out there.

So anyway, if you haven’t checked out the KickStarter, be sure to do so at the pic below and I’ve also added the links to some of the major tech blogs and what they have to say about it.

After nearly two years of planning, designing, building and rebuilding, The Cross Plane WVI (Wireless Video Interface) has made its debut on KickStarter!

For those of you who may not know, KickStarter is a “Crowed Funding” website which allows project creators to post projects such as ours to a mass market of potential customers and/or willing supporters.  Supporters are given the opportunity to see presentation videos of the project and read the project story and so forth to see if this is in fact a project they would like to fund.

What makes KickStarter unique though is that it is an “all or nothing” platform where the projects funding goal must be met, or no funds at all are transferred. This helps protect both the project host and those funding the project. Supports though, should the campaign be successful, are given rewards that based on their pledge amounts called “tiers”.   These are set by the project creator so for example in our project, $10 or more (up to the next tier) get’s you a Cross Plane Key Chain. Then if you pledge $50 or more you get a signed T-Shirt and Poster or things of that nature. It’s  a really neat set-up and one that has helped thousands of people bring their projects to life!

So please, check out the link (the big picture at the top will take you there) and give the page a look. If you like what you see and want to help bring this to the market, make a pledge and bring my dream into reality! We can’t do this without you and need your help!

With everything in place for the reveal, we decided it was time for The Cross Plane to surface! With almost two years into this project, I can’t describe how excited I am to see this live! Our prototypes work, and our videos to compliment the KickStarter are all ready to go.

With that said, we are just waiting on the approval from the KickStarter crew to bring this project main stream and see if we can soon make a go at producing these. These have been an exciting past couple of weeks and I can’t wait to see what this does once we let it go into the wild! Fingers crossed as we need every bit of luck we can get but things are looking good!

We’re just waiting on the last draft of the video and putting on the finishing touches of the KickStarter page and we’ll soon enough be ready to show off what we’ve been working on so hard and for so long now! Keep it tuned here in the next week or so I’ll have the link to the KickStarter page and we’ll hit the ground running!

Exactly what it sounds like, but nothing too exciting. Just me doing some SMT soldering very quickly.  Thanks Shock Slayer for the video edit!
