Why does everyone look like they’re in a state of hypnosis?

Lol. They had the camera we were supposed to look into way too close so we're all cross-eyed...

All good feedback!

Could you guys be more specific than creepy? Is that...very negative? Mildly bemused?

creepy was half in jest. I don't know enough about your target audience to provide legitimate feedback.

Agreed with comments so far lol.

Suggestions for improvements:

1) Correct the cross-eyed look (perhaps using 3d photoshop?)

2) Get rid of the eyes following the mouse thing... Really creepy. Perhaps just have the heads turn and move if the mouse is over them?

3) Scan the whole head: jagged edges look messy.

lol though. Serious lolz.

I dunno, I kind of like having my cursor feel like an object of worship

Agree with the below – also, not sure how I feel about the “confetti” background (think it’s intended to tie with your logo?). right now the combo of the confetti and the jagged heads is making things look a bit messy, but once the images are fixed, the background might be OK.

Also, I think the logo is supposed to be a 3-d “F” (right?), but the non-white parts of the logo blend into the purplish strip at the top of the page, so on first glance the logo just looks like four random white shapes, and it took me a while to see the F. Not sure if that’s intentional or not.

I apparently don’t have webgl, since no eyes are following my mouse L

I'm not a fan of the marketing aesthetic (confetti = polygons; logo is supposed to be a few polyons that are part of the 3D F, but you're not really supposed to tell).

As to Lisa's suggestions

1) Some people are going for a second scan, but it's kind of funny to see people going cross-eyed following a mouse

2) I think we're trying to show the capabilities of web graphics with this one

3) The place we got the scan done only does the front of the head; I suppose we could fill out the back, but that's time away from...more pressing projects

Such is life at a startup...so many things to do, so little time!

I think an underlying concern is that the jagged edges + general cross-eyed-ness = bad impression of your product?

Hm...will bring these up to folks. My guess is that the response will be the either a) sales are not driven through the webpage at all; b) team page is more a fun landing for people who we're trying to hire

We're updating the marketing and website soon (e.g., we have horrendous SEO; message is really confusing), so will definitely tap you guys for feedback. Sadly, I get the feeling that people are really attached to the confetti / logo...I mean we have business cards 'n shit; can't go back from that...

I think the confetti/polygon stuff is good, just could be executed better – like by using a standardized set of 1-2 vibrant colors for all the polygons throughout the site. Maybe in the F logo, four polygons could be one color and one could be a contrasting color. Conceptually, I like how the polygons are the surfaces of things you 3d scan, since Floored bridges the gap between 2D and 3D.
