| I have recently read multiple accounts of Openhaus being a ghost ship. Here are a couple: "Hi all. Has anyone been using OpenHaus to enhance their Matterport offering? I stupidly used it on a clients tour and now I feel duped. It doesn't seem to support some of the features I saw in promotional vids. Their Youtube Channel is abandoned. No one answers emails and the 'talk to us' button on the website is a dummy icon. Dead company existing to keep taking subs?" (posted 10 days ago on Matterport subreddit) "Hello all, I tried multiple times to contact openhaus.app through their website, they didn't reply. Does anyone know what is the situation with this overlay platform? Thank you in advance." (posted almost a year a go on WGAN forum) I have tried to reach out to OpenHaus via email a few times myself and have not heard back. In the past I've had great communication with their team, namely with Carson and Christian, although that was a couple years ago now. Anyone heard anything? |

| I have an active Openhaus subscription at a very low and very friendly monthly rate. But I can also confirm, that there has not been further development, news or subscriber outreach via Email in the last 18 months. I have 5 or 6 test and demo spaces running on Openhaus. Openhaus has great and unique features (Openhaus themes, mirror mattertags to Matterport, etc.) and the best E-commerce-integration that I have tested so far. But unfortunately there was no sustainable market for Matterport E-Commerce-Tours and obviously @Carson and his team could not build a Matterport SDK Overlay system, that would pay their bills. I think they just keep Openhaus active for their early adopter clients. I´m not sure, if Matterport-E-Commerce tours will ever have a market potential. Neither if Matterport will ever go through the roof in other market verticals than property marketing or in the rest of the world outside of the United States. But for successful immersive e-commerce-solutions we will need much more 3D quality, and more magic and immersion, than Matterport will ever be able to provide. And I think, that Openhaus is one of the examples that confirms this. They had great ideas, great design and coding creativity. But Matterport was not the right platform for their approach. |

| Too bad it seems like another good idea that will fall to the wayside, so sad. | ||
