I just posted in here a few hours ago because I was pretty excited about VibeHub and seriously thinking about contributing to the token sale. I have recently discovered a huge red flag and I would like an answer from the project owners because it is a serious subject. After discovering the LOOQ Vr scam earlier today, it made we want to research Vibehub a little more in-depth. I have always been impressed with Vibehub's development and their demos in their videos, so I was confident in the team. I own an Oculus Rift and use VR personally, so in my research I wanted to find other apps that might possibly be like VibeHub. I discovered one app called Bigscreen Beta which let's users share experiences in environments, and it came out much earlier than Vibehub plus has investors. I downloaded Bigscreen to test it out and I was shocked when I realized that one of Vibehub's environment is exactly a copy of BigScreen's environment with a couple slight changes. I have included a couple of side/side comparisons below so you can see what I mean. I am hoping there is a good answer for this because I wanted Vibehub to be legit. I am big fan of VR and Vibehub is the only VR crypto I am exicted about right now since Spectiv delayed and I couldn't get into the Decentraland token sale.

I was pretty shocked when I discovered this tonight. I was just testing VR apps that seemed to be Vibehub competitors and when I saw this I was reminded of the Vibehub video. Take this for what you want, but it definitely scares me. I do think Vibehub has done a lot of work on their interface and such, but if they copied this, I don't know what else could be copied.

Hello! NO need to be alarmed... All the 3d models and assets used in our beta platform have either been created in house or purchased licensed for use...it is normal practice to purchase stock art or 3d models to help complete projects...that is also just one of many scenes...btw 3d models come with no logic, user interface, networking functionality, animations, voice chat, vibe wallet, ect...All things we have built in house...Our vision is so expansive that one of our first priorities is to expand our team of modelers and animators so we can create 1000's of custom digital assets...We know there are apps that do individual things...thats why we strive to present a one stop shop on one platform...virtual desktop support, 360 videos, social interaction, live and ondemand photorealistic performances...and various marketplaces...im sorry you feel that is a red flag...but again i can assure you purchasing art for projects is common practice...

Thank you for answering my question so fast! Don't get me wrong, as a fan of VR I want to see Vibehub succeed because VR needs more applications and innovation. It was just a bit weird for me to see these environments being the same, especially after identifying Looq as a straight up scam. I'm not a developer at all so I'm not sure about sharing 3d models and purchasing stock pieces, but I will take your word for it. At the same time, I think I will end up passing on the ICO because I am still a bit hesitant. I will continue to follow this project though and may buy coins later on.
