Lucid - Eyewear Innovation of the Future

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 become the standard in wearable displays. 

• Acquiring LCD

To accelerate organic adoption and development of Lucyd Lens, we created the Lucyd Lab AR blockchain. When a 3rd party developer submits new Lucydoptimized content to the App Store/Google Play, they also register it with Lucyd. 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. Peer reviewers of Lucyd content are also rewarded LCD.

• 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.

Lucyd plans to design developer tools, productivity and entertainment apps made natively for its smartglasses, available on App Store/Google Play. Such apps would be eligible for purchase via the LCD token. Our goal with Lucyd Lab is primarily to drive 3 rd party native app development and user engagement with an automated reward system. 

OVERVIEW OF AUGMENTED REALITY 

AR smartglasses offer compelling opportunities in industry, entertainment, enterprise, training and education, with numerous features that increase comfort and productivity. The market and momentum

have dramatically shifted in favor of AR applications. Mobile games like Pokémon Go™ created instant consumer awareness of the power and market potential for AR.2 The AR market is forecasted to reach approximately $134 billion by 2021 according to Zion Market Research.3 North America is slated to be the primary market, and is expected to have a CAGR of nearly 80% by 2020.4

Consumers will benefit from Lucyd’s technology advantages, such as advanced eye tracking, a 120°

encompassing field of view, a prescription lens option, a low-profile form factor and customizable control scheme. We believe Lucyd Lens will have transformative applications in commercial, governmental and personal areas. AR is a competitive space, and leading companies are attempting to create mass market smartglasses. However, thus far other companies have produced AR displays that are bulky and/or expensive, limiting their mass appeal. Lucyd is not subject to the bureaucracy and internal constraints faced by our tech giant competitors, and we think our nimble, capable team allows us to move in the space with less friction. 

LUCYD TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW

AR is important because it’s going to change the way we interact with information, the environment and the Internet—making it seamless, comfortable and more efficient. Rather than staring into a screen, Lucyd projects its interface in front of you, reducing eye strain and poor posture. For the first time, everyone can enjoy AR without the headache. Lucyd seeks to bring you the glasses of the future, a truly next-gen product that will evolve the way you see the world. 

1. Projected Features

Lucyd owns the exclusive license to 13 important patents that we believe solve many of the issues

currently troubling the AR space. Some notable features:

• A flush, unibody design provides a discreet, customizable look. Existing AR devices are notorious for drawing unwanted attention. 
• All circuitry is contained within the stems, so it looks and feels just like a normal pair of glasses.
• Can be outfitted with prescription lenses.
• Lens-integrated, stereoscopic LCD microdisplays with a long battery life and ergonomic feel.
• Bluetooth connection to iPhone/Android to experience your favorite apps in AR.
• Integrated microphone and bone-conducting speakers for easy calling and voice control.
• Can be connected to Bluetooth peripherals such as speakers and keyboards.
• Integrated front camera for photo/video capture.
• Navigate handsfree with custom controls among eye tracking, voice control, and finger tracking input options.
• High resolution, with an extraordinary 120° display arc for AR graphics.  See below for a simulation of Lucyd Lens 1.0.

3. Lucyd Firsts 

We believe the technology behind Lucyd is groundbreaking, and there are a number of innovations pioneered by the device:

• First to miniaturize the optics for compact, lightweight projection in a head-mounted display (HMD).
• First full integration of eye tracking in HMDs.
• First integration of occlusion support in HMDs. (Reduces overlapping of natural and virtual objects)
• First freeform surfaces for off-axis design in HMDs.
• First integration of high-resolution microdisplays with retro-reflective surfaces.
• First HMD with high spatial resolution. 
• First wide-scope view in HMDs with up to a 120° field of vision.
• First optimized field of view for small, eyeglassformat displays. 

4. Potential Use Cases

As an entirely new interactive display, the potential for Lucyd is limitless. It should look and feel totally natural, seamlessly integrating computer enhancement with our perception of the world. However, we think it is prudent to develop it with the most common smartphone-like use cases in mind. Here are some examples of how we think Lucyd can help you get the most out of life
