LUCYD : the world’s first ergonomic, highly functional mass market smartglasses

Augmented reality (AR) is a live view of a real-world environment overlaid with a computer-generated interface. Lucyd is launching the LCD token generation event to decentralize the AR revolution. We are designing next-gen smartglasses that correct many of the issues plaguing currently available products, and a blockchain app ecosystem to support them. Lucyd Lens smartglasses will evolve your vision, by seamlessly merging valuable data with your sight.

The mind is keen for visual information. “More than 50% of the cortex, the surface of the brain, is devoted to processing visual information,” according to Professor David Williams at the University of Rochester. Lucyd is poised to satisfy this need, and usher in a new era of visual exploration with Lucyd Lens. We believe the knowledgeable team, revolutionary technology, and innovative blockchain behind Lucyd all contribute to its potential for success. Lucyd has a technology advantage in the AR arms race because it has 13 advanced patents and a team of optics experts that will allow for the development of a uniquely powerful pair of smartglasses. Lucyd Lens will be the first that is lightweight, ergonomic, wire-free, comfortable, encompassing, auto-adjusts to lighting conditions, accommodates corrective lenses and appears like a normal pair of glasses. It will be an interactive AR peripheral that can display Android and iOS content in AR, while also supporting Lucyd-native content.

About Lucyd

Lucyd is a new augmented reality company dedicated to producing the world’s first ergonomic, highly functional mass market smartglasses. In their premier form, Lucyd smartglasses are planned as a peripheral device that allows users to interact with their smartphones more comfortably and effectively. Lucyd smartglasses will be supported by a basic operating system that optimizes existing smartphone apps for use in an AR interface.

Lucyd is built on both a portfolio of 13 AR patents, and a team of leading optics and AR experts. Lucyd is launching a token issuance of the LCD cryptoken in Q4 2017. The purpose of this is to create the first AR-based cryptocurrency to secure the funding needed to build our first pre-production prototype. The LCD token allows anyone to help develop and experience the AR revolution. Here you can learn more about the LCD Token Sale and the structure that makes Lucyd potentially an exciting new player in AR.

According to Greenlight Insights, the world AR market is expected to reach $36.4b by 2023, Lucyd is an opportunity to get involved in this rapidly emerging sector.

MISSION

Lucyd’s mission is to enhance the visual experience. We’re doing this by developing ergonomic smartglasses, and a blockchain-based app store to support them. Our platform will make it easy for anyone to create, share and experience AR content. From gaming, to sports, to navigation, to professional tasks, Lucyd Lens will put the apps and content you need right in front of you, so you never have to look down again.

LCD Token

Lucyd is offering a new token named LCD, which is an opportunity to help develop and experience the next big thing in AR. This is possible because Lucyd has 13 synergistic patents and a team of optics and AR experts which enable the manufacture of Lucyd Lens, a pair of lightweight AR smartglasses. With its powerful IP, Lucyd Lens is in a strong position to be the standard in wearable displays, and a foundational AR ecosystem.

Acquiring LCD

To accelerate organic adoption and development of Lucyd Lens, we created the Lucyd Lab AR blockchain. When a 3rd party developer creates new Lucyd-native content, they register it with the Lucyd Lab store. This creates a new block for that app, which then releases LCD to the developer based on the community impact of the app. This is an additional bonus atop traditional app revenue. Community users of Lucyd content are also given LCD for actions like

Spending LCD

LCD tokens may be used to purchase Lucyd hardware and native content when available. LCD will also function in Lucyd promotions. For example, the first 500 units of Lucyd Lens will be reserved for purchase via LCD only, so owning LCD gives you an opportunity to be among the first to wear them. Although actual production costs may vary, Lucyd estimates 5,000 LCD will be able to be exchanged for one basic pair of Lucyd Lens. LCD can also be sold to token exchanges for other tokens and fungible currencies, and transferred inLens. Lucyd plans to design developer tools, productivity and entertainment apps made natively for its smartglasses, available via the Lucyd Lab store in-Lens. Such apps would be eligible for purchase via the LCD token. Our goal with Lucyd Lab is primarily to drive 3rd party native app development and user engagement with an automated reward system.

Lucyd Technology Overview

Introduction

AR is so disruptive because it’s going to improve how we interact with information, the environment and the Internet making it seamless, transparent and more efficient. Rather than staring into a screen, Lucyd projects a tablet-like interface in front of you, reducing eye strain and poor posture. For the first time, everyone will be able to enjoy AR without the headache. Lucyd Lens will be the glasses of the future, a truly next gen product that will evolve the way you see the world.

Projected Features

Lucyd owns exclusive licenses to 13 disruptive AR patents that we believe solve many of the issues troubling the AR space. Some notable features:

1. A flush, unibody design for a discreet, customizable look. Existing AR devices are notorious for drawing unwanted attention.
2. All circuitry is contained within the frames, so it looks and feels just like a normal pair of glasses.
3. Can be outfitted with prescription lenses.
4. Lens-integrated, stereoscopic LCD microdisplays for a long battery life and ergonomic feel.
5. Bluetooth connection to iPhone/Android to experience your favorite apps in AR.
6. Integrated microphone and bone-conducting speakers for easy calling and voice control.
7. Can be connected to Bluetooth peripherals such as speakers and keyboards.
8. Integrated front camera for photo/video capture.
9. Navigate handsfree with custom controls among eye tracking, voice control, and finger tracking input options.
10. An up to 120° display arc for HD AR graphics, over 2x larger than currently available AR displays.
