Are you guys also planning different models of the glasses in the future?

Yes - the free form optics technology and much improved light guide, wider field of view will enable the glasses to come in a variety of frames.

The fact that the technology makes the glasses prescription-ready is one of the best features, and will much add to an appeal to mass consumers. Something that previous efforts were missing.

I am very curious about the combination of optical industry and the application of the block chain, neither to understand what technology can be extended, do not understand what pain points, a friend explain the situation?

Hello,

Blockchain technology will let anyone easily develop and distribute content on our platform. The whole thing is built on the LCD token to easily facilitate P2P transactions in the glasses themselves, forgoing dependence on traditional financial systems, while also organically motivating community engagement with LCD rewards. We believe the Blockchain will enable Lucyd to grow exponentially.

LCD has several functions. Its initial use is to fund the development of the Lucyd Lens prototype. LCD will also facilitate rapid peer-to-peer transactions in the Lucyd AR world, and is used to organically motivate user and developer engagement with Lucyd Lens. It accomplishes this through the Lucyd Lab blockchain, on which new AR content & apps are registered. Blocks then release LCD to developers based on user ratings of their content, and to users based on their feedback to the developer community, and participation in ads and promotions. LCD can be used to purchase AR products from Lucyd and other developers, as well as bought and sold on token exchanges.

Best,
Lucyd Team

Many people write insecure comments about the project, but I hope all the same it will turn out something worthwhile! Let's hope and believe

[KotiKo]

I have high hopes for this idea. I will support the project. I hope that the team will make a good effort and promote Lucid to a high level! Good luck to the team

Thanks for your reply, people can be very picky in choosing glasses. They have to fit and look good in the end aswell!

[John Cryp]

Why the need and use of a token? Couldn't this project been done without a tokensale? Please elaborate on this matter.

[John Cryp]

What happens if the ICO won't raise enough funds? And what happens with unsold tokens?

Thank for your reply in advance.

John, a couple reasons to say at least. LCD will  facilitate rapid peer-to-peer transactions in the Lucyd AR world (which we think is going to be more efficient than traditional payment system), and will be used to organically motivate user and developer engagement with Lucyd Lens. It accomplishes this through the Lucyd Lab blockchain, on which new AR content & apps are registered. Blocks then release LCD to developers based on user ratings of their content, and to users based on their feedback to the developer community, and participation in ads and promotions. LCD can be used to purchase AR products from Lucyd and other developers, as well as bought and sold on token exchanges. With the broad app ecosystem in place, why wouldnt you want to create your own currency if you could? We believe the Blockchain will enable Lucyd to grow exponentially, faster and more efficiently that if we relied on traditional solutions. Let us know your thoughts.

And, by the way, about the fact that glasses will be charged wirelessly, it's very convenient. This will give you the opportunity to always carry them with you and create yourself a virtual reality, when you like: D

Ideally, the smart glasses interface should be integrated with smart clocks or fitness bracelets. This combination will be really useful. Do you guys randomly plan a similar thing from Lucyd? 

Hello,

Absolutely - Lucyd Lens 1.0 will be a peripheral device, and will be able to connect to devices with computing power and bluetooth. We would not want to limit just to the cell phone, so the answer is likely yes.

It's great. I'm really glad to hear it. In general, in fact, glasses can be synchronized with completely different smart devices. You did not think that you can create a 3D effect outside the screen, while watching movies on a smart TV? This, too, could become a very cool idea.

[Zerotosixty]

L'il help, please, about contributing ether in the LCD presale...  I do not have a myetherwallet but I do have a Ledger Nano S with ETH in its ETH wallet.  What is the procedure once I open the Nano S's ethereum wallet, and I'm ready to enter the receiving address provided on the Lucyd website and my ETH quantity?  How do I designate "Lucyd," or does the system intuit Lucyd from the address?

[DirtyMartini]

This is a really exciting project, I'm surprised there hasn't been more hype about it..
I really hope this gets the exposure it deserves. Following closely now

[KotiKo]

Before the sale of the tokens there were only 5 days left! I hope that the company will collect a lot of money and will be successful! I believe!

[KotiKo]

I admit the idea that in a short time, in 5-7 years, smart glasses will surpass the supply of smartphones. And everyone will walk with smart glasses, not with phones

[Dimosscolorist]

Very interesting ideas and developments. I like it. I think in the future such glasses will be very useful. I need to support this team in social media space.

LCD will  facilitate rapid peer-to-peer transactions in the Lucyd AR world = you could use existing crypto payment systems for this, you have to exchange anyway if it's only meant for your platform.
LCD as reward for devellopment is only good from one side and not much of use on user aspect of the token.

You have to build in a more unique functionality for the user imo. And how are you guys going to make money? What's the businessmodel behind the token? Not sure if your current plans will work out...

By the way, you are right. Considering the fact that more and more people are moving to the side of a healthy lifestyle lately, many people have fitness bracelets and they might like this idea

It's very cool, you guys are great! Pleases us more and more! Really, it is not necessary to be limited only by mobile phones, it is necessary to go forward

Hello. All very interestingly written and submitted, I believe that your technology at the same height. To give you such a high score, also I agree. But how are you guys going to combine quite earthly things: for example the scratch resistance of the lenses, fogging and many more that are sure to be in reality?

What is your relation to the Research Foundation Of The University Of Central Florida. I saw all the patens are owned by them, but are also the researchers there involved in the project? Are there any statements from the other group members on lucyd.
AR looks interesting, but is not so new anymore and it will make the big turnover only because 1000s of companies are working on it. So, would would be the main difference to the competitors making you something unique?

Hi John.

Tekcapital plc (LSE:TEK), has had a working relationship with University of Central Florida for some time. That relationship helped secured exclusive, worldwide license (noone else can do anything with the technology including UCF) to the 13 patents discussed for Lucyd, a porffolio company of Tekcapital.Dr. Jannick Rolland is the lead inventor behind Lucyd patents, and is on board as an advisor. Dr. Rolland has already developed the central optical system that will be utilised by Lucyd and is excited to be on board.

Lucyd is very different from existing AR solutions because our tech is truly next-generation. Lucyd’s 13 AR patents were developed over a decade of well-funded research at the College of Optics and Photonics at UCF. Lucyd patents enable thin microdisplays for a richly textured, dynamically layered HD AR experience, unlike existing smartglasses that use a clunky external display and have grainy AR objects. This tech also enables Lucyd Lens to be the first smartglass that can be fitted with prescription lenses, and looks like a normal pair of glasses. Lucyd also has an advanced patent for real-world object detection, allowing its AR interface to smoothly intermingle digital content with the real world. Other notable Lucyd firsts are a dynamically adapting user interface that automatically adjusts to the task at hand, built in bone-conduction speakers, light leakage prevention and a 120° enhanced field of view over 3X larger than existing AR displays.
In our opinion, it doesn’t matter if someone else makes smartglasses—there are already several current on the market. But their user base is limited to the ultra-geeky. We strongly believe Lucyd Lens will be the first smartglass that works for everyone.

It is highly unlikely that a pair of smartglasses will come out with all of the features our technology addresses. There might be some improvement, but our technology really makes it much more mass market ready. PLus blockchain will enable much faster and efficient content development for the smartglasses.

Its entirely normal to be skeptical, but if things were that binary we would have no successful startups
