>Users burn $FIND tokens to mint "credits" that unlock videos.

>I care deeply about making the world accessible for all.

Let me get this straight. I'm in a hospital, stressed looking for my X-ray room, I scan a QR code, it opens a link to a video hosted on Cloudflare according to your tech stack, but the video is locked by Krowdovi, so I then need a Solana wallet funded with SOL, and need to have swapped that SOL for FIND, and then I spend FIND on credits to unlock the video that I can then follow to get to the X-ray room?

I assume it's the vendors who are the target to buy these. He said they charge a lot to map a venue, and so I'm guessing he wanted to create a market for the videos that they will buy. If I'm understanding correctly, it's about building up a reservoir of content, then approaching the vendors to be like "all this content is here at this rate if you want to pay this feed to unlock it.

Maybe I'm wrong though, I've spent more time typing to you than I spent reading closely :)

		Kind of - 2 core problems (maybe 3 really) 1. For a long time developers focused on AR tech to try and create indoor nav experiences. Reality check: People don't care how they get there. Just that they get there. 1st person POV gets them there, without ever having to download an app or exchange any of their own data. For a more native type experience, I do intend to have this built into iOS app clips, again with the intention that an end user should never have to download a full app just to be able to navigate a space 2. Videographers are getting displaced by genAI at a rapid rate. This sucks. Krowdovi is an offramp in the future of work. A properly funded liquidity pool and a willingness to pivot talents into a different style of work, the indoor navigation market is poised for massive growth ($28B TAM). This platform is being designed to be very much like Hivemapper, but for indoor spaces. This provides creators like videographers an opportunity to start their own business and through DePIN, have a real ownership stake in the company 3. This is the maybe 3rd core problem - vendor lock ins suck. Especially in healthcare. The burn mint model is designed to be a more future tech approach to value based contracting. Instead of having to pay software vendors upfront for warez that end up not working and nobody uses, in this model, the health systems are only burning (paying) when/if the videos are being used. Proper incentive structures - I am incentivized to build something that isn't just the next vaporware, creators are incentivized to record quality routes with proper overlays, and the health systems themselves can approach this from the perspective of - what do we have to lose? Long tail - there is no good data source for video of indoor spaces either. If compute costs continue to trend down - I really am thinking about machine learning on the video - adding some contextual data, it's possible to create an experiential mode for those who are blind. Instead of just narrating to them how to get where they are going - how about telling them literally all about the world around them... Now that's what I'm talking about!

No no no - 2 definitions of user here. The idea is that the venue only has to cover the burn of $FIND for every instance of the video being served.

So, let's reframe this.

You go to hospital. Theoretically by this point, the tech is integrated with Epic MyCharts - once you enter the geofence of the hospital, you are sent an SMS message that guides you straight from the parking lot right to radiology.

The video is served, you use the route to arrive at radiology.

The hospital is covering the burn. The creator is getting paid royalty on the remint

As the patient, you never even know that any of that is happening

I probably need to reword that.

In my brain it makes sense but I get that is worded confusing

Accessibility is definitely critical to me tho

Core functionality and the most important imo is voice narration for vision impaired. Translated into native device language. Hasn't been implemented yet, but if done correctly by the creator, a mobility toggle becomes available that can serve best route for those who might be wheelchair bound

Make more sense?

		To me yes, it helps. It's still very complicated and I see no way of finding out how your solution really looks like for the actual end user of it, without getting a doctorate on blockchain and devops. Could you at least add a video that shows the user's experience?

as insane as it sounds, it‘s not much worse than the current state of tech tbh.
