Ah, it is so frustrating to see people liking this idea, but never being able to actually make it a reality. Take a look at the link below. Virtuo is in a top 5 list of incredible ideas that never made it to market?
The problem is that it was a student project, thoroughly worked out and tested but lacking the funds to take it to the next level.
Why can't I get the funds? Everyone wants to see a working prototype. While I do have a partially working visual model, it does not have all the functions Virtuo would have when produced at a mass scale. It is quote understandable since the time and money available for this project during university was very limited. However, this idea has thorough research and user testing backing it up. I worked with leading specialists in the field of design, electrical engineering and user experience to develop this concept.
This product was entered in several competitions and the reason it never it went further was once again the absence of a fully working prototype. I would love to make one, but with the level of complexity of this project and being just one person, it is practically impossible to do it without the help from others.
So it is a vicious circle: in order to get any money support to develop this project, I need to show a working prototype. But in order to make a fully working prototype I need money. Therefore this project is still a concept, awaiting someone who is interested enough to take a small risk and help me in this struggle.
If anyone has any thoughts on this or can help, please contact me here. I would very much appreciate any advice.
Thank you.
