*Technical Co-Founder/Sr. Developer

at MotionQwest in Shhhh...   —   May 22, 2013   |  
Overview
A P/T Telecommute opportunity.

Join us and launch MotionQwest.

Are you passionate about programming and new browsing technology?

*Do you want to solve an interesting problem for the Internet and own a piece of your company"

BRIEF DESCRIPTION:

We’re actively seeking a technical partner (or partners) to complete a SlimDX project that’s half way done (~ 800 hrs to launch). This is an opportunity to launch a breakthrough 3D cognitive UI for browsing media on the Internet and from local disks. The project uses .Net 2.0 and SlimDX to deliver 3D game navigation experience to browsing and visual search.

ABOUT MYSELF:

I’m an inventor, entrepreneur and HCI designer. Based on a new browsing paradigm, MotinQwest hits the bulls-eye for spatial browsing . You’ll be able to judge for yourself and test the latest executable. Some added benefits: the technology is US patented/World Patent pending which takes care of potential copycats.

MOTIONQWEST:

• Users cruise in parallel through *two* 3D content channels, at rates that reach 100 to 200 images per minute (that’s not an exaggeration). It’s fast and very responsive with few interruptions.
• Users can browse through different categories or even content sources simultaneously.
• Users can conduct fast visual searches (unlike eye candy solutions) through a seamless and fully immersive navigation experience.

TARGET AIM:

Any visual search that requires a "soft browsing" session for the user to take action. All visual media browsing.
Trend-setters, creative professionals, photo hobbysts, Millenials on YouTube.

Beta: Launch a bare bone but powerful MotionQwest RIA client as a front-end to users' local images and web connected e-commerce, video, photo, and stock photography APIs to get our first revenues.

Besides a kiler experience, MotionQwest's direct added value it that it *lets users see more in less time*. This will translate into improved click-stream metrics and user engagement, resulting in up to 20% in increased click-through rates, ad views and impulse purchases than through a traditional browser and image matrix
presentation.

Version 1.0 productization plan and business model specifics (SaaS) to be shared on an individual basis.

ADDITIONAL INFO:

What’s missing to launch the beta versions:

Phase 1 -

• Data virtualization/Memory management/Dynamic Buffering
• Auto-Update
• UI/Mouse & keyboard controls
• Finalizing the API line-up

Release.

Phase 2 -

• Cloud based storage of customers' creative assets, media and photo collections.
Introduction of subscriptions to our revenue mix.

The site's creative & HTML's are done. The application’s simple UI and look & feel are also done as far as the visual identity is concerned. Business model and Productization plan through 2.0 are set.

The project is half way done but we believes we can do a better job by adding a committed 3rd Technical Co-Founder. In exchange we give you a sizable chunk of the company. This is a unique chance to solve a worthy problem and take a significant equity position in our company.

This is literally a "come in, finish the job, release on the Internet and reap the benefits". Completion is ~ 800 hrs away. Divide development Full-time or Part-time with us. Yes we're all P/T since we're bootstraping this phase.

Will consider different type of partnerships/revenue arrangements.
