Sorry, but this feels like the Cicret bracelet all over again.

The main purpose of the website really just seems to be pumping money into your ICO for this new altcoin you guys have created. The information on the website about the actual product is vague, at best, and the 'concept art' for the interface is, frankly, embarrassingly terrible and inconsistent.

There is no regard for reasonable UX/UI principles, and the 'interface' varies wildly from image to image. example 1 - example 2

Obviously it's understandable that these are conceptual as the device doesn't exist currently, but considering how paramount the user interface is for a device that is literally centered around the idea of presenting information to the user in a visual manner, I would have expected a little bit more effort and forethought in your concept mock-ups than something that looks like a junior graphic design student created in Photoshop in under an hour.

Even more troubling is the prototype concept image for the glasses themselves, which can be seen here.

To put it simply, there's just no possible way you'll be able to fit all of the tech you've outlined into a device that comes close to the form factor you're insinuating here.

With current, even bleeding edge technology, it's just ridiculous to think that you're going to fit:

  • bone conducting speakers
  • eye tracking cameras/sensors
  • two 'next-gen' high definition LCD screens (of which the projection method onto the lenses you don't even attempt to explain)
  • bluetooth or other wireless connectivity
  • all of the hardware to run the glasses themselves
  • wireless charging hardware
  • plus enough battery capacity to run a device with all of this hardware for any reasonable amount of time

So either the real-world device will look nothing like what you're showing here, or building something that goes on your head and doesn't look like a VR headset is just impossible, period.

I'm sorry, and I would love to be wrong about this, but all of this really just smacks of an attempt to 'raise money' for your product development through an ICO, which will likely never be developed, leaving your organization with a convenient stack of real fiat currency people have exchanged for a useless altcoin and no recourse to get their money back in the event that this doesn't ever come to fruition.

EDIT: Here's a great article that articulates some of the concerns I outlined, alongside a detailed breakdown of some of the patents that this Lucyd representative has been repeatedly referring back to: http://www.kguttag.com/2018/02/07/lucyd-ico-scheme-wrapped-around-worthless-ar-patents/

You said in your original post that you had a pilot that was almost picked up by NBC, yet the article you linked to in reference not only mentions nothing about you having any sort of pilot deal (it has a brief line mentioning a possible pilot with Samantha Bee and another former Daily Show correspondent), but the article is actually about some entity named PX This (who is obviously you, given the username) complaining that this supposed pilot in question used a 'stolen storyline' that's 'too close to be coincidental'.

So is that your thing? You just go around trying to ride other people's coat tails by claiming their idea was your idea in the first place?

I didn't buy your Original Posted story from the get-go, especially with all of that IP Tracer nonsense (which inadvertently, by your attempted explanation, showed how technology illiterate you are), but this just shows a pattern of behavior that's consistent with you being dishonest.

I think this AMA is going to go badly for you. Redditors can smell bullshit, and they don't like it.

Dude, can you answer even ONE of the hard questions anyone in this AMA has asked you? Why would one of the 'Advisors' to Lucyd be completely unfamiliar with your team or the concept? Why would you spell their name incorrectly?

If you can't give an actual answer, then the assumption is going to be that you're lying, and given your general evasiveness in answering anything with direct answer through this entire AMA, this whole thing just seems like smoke and mirrors anyway.

You just keep digging a deeper and deeper PR hole for yourself and for Lucyd, which is a real shame if this is legit, because you're doing a great job of making it look like it isn't.

Actually, Intel Vaunt is extremely far off from what you're proposing. They use a mono-side rear projected laser aimed into your retina to put a small unobtrusive window of monochrome information that's roughly 400x150 pixels in your periphery, not two 'full HD' LCD screens that encompass your entire field of view.

Beyond that, Vaunt has no audio hardware or haptics, it's just the VCSEL laser assembly, hardware to control the laser, battery to power the device, and a bluetooth radio. Even with this barebones set of hardware, Vaunt is already bulkier than your hardware mockup.

And, regarding the interface, you really just sidestepped the points I brought up and made some vague statements about how interfaces need to be adaptable for different users. That's an obvious and superfluous statement. Can you explain why for a device that is defined by what the user sees visually, your team didn't think it a wise investment to put a little more effort into commissioning someone to make some interface mockups, and maybe a little less effort into pumping your ICO?

It just seems very obvious where the priorities of this company lie, and the hardware and concept doesn't seem to be at the top of that list.

Holy shit, you are the master of avoiding answering questions. Let me make this abundantly clear, not for you because you obviously know what you're doing, but for anyone else who may be reading this and is successfully distracted by your non-answers:

/u/CryptoMansory said the following in their previous comment:

I contacted her on her university email. Her reply was if i could introduce her to the team and blockchain.

If you need this broken down further for you: /u/CryptoMansory contacted a person you claim to be an advisor to your company, and that person responded that they don't even know who you are.

Can you explain why someone you have listed on your website as an advisor doesn't know who Lucyd is? That would suggest that you're misrepresenting your relationship with that person.
