You know more about that niche than you think you do. Figure out what VOS trades with. Transactions determine niche boundaries and more.

We have one main domain (3D) and a secondary domain (Web) but there might even be others. Actually when we first began this several years ago, we knew someone who knew someone intersted in building factory tracking systems, though we ended up not really considering that at the time. At one point I wanted to do wireless self-organizing sensor networks-- I still think that will be an emerging realm of innovation but I know that VOS is not a good fit for its requirements. I think we have some vague ideas on what we want our specific niches within 3D to be-- Peter and I may not even be able to explain it well yet. So, we're just trying to implement what we can, so we can show it to people and eventually find a niche.
