Over the last few weeks, quite a number of companies from Bose to Toshiba have unveiled augmented reality devices. Everybody wants a pie of this emerging market. With a new product, a new company Lampix is all set to take on tech giants.
Lampix is an AR system which can transform a dumb table into fully interactive and smart augmented screen. The Lampix AR is an ergonomically designed AR kit which ships with a projector and a camera and looks like a really cool desktop lamp.
Lampix uses machine learning to identify objects and hand movements in front the camera to find out the interactions with the device. Lampix AR uses a decentralized blockchain called PIX token to improve its machine learning algorithm by image mining.
The developers now have a huge data set to train their algorithms with the PIX blockchain. The bounty hunters can also earn PIX tokens by creating an image, description pair and uploading it to the blockchain.
Implementing a robust object recognition platform in this manner is free for all users and open for developers. This will help the Lampix system to continuously grow and back various new unimagined unique applications across industries.
The powerful full HD projectors have a luminosity of 700 lumens so that users can use this table based AR with ease even in dim-lit surroundings. This projector is there to help augment office spaces, game tables and changes the prejudices of collaboration.
Lampix system can be used to create, capture and share documents and files. It can also be used to augment game boards when you get bored. It provides a new layer of interaction by combining best of both physical and digital worlds.
Lampix can be a replacement for your ugly desktops PCs present now with its unnatural way of interaction and computing. With Lampix you can use a simple pen and paper, finger taps and hand gestures for inputs to your PC. And when not in use it’s a cool lamp.
The project is looking around $200,000 to raise on Kickstarter. While fundraising is underway the Lampix team won’t be sitting idle and be shipping a small quantity of developer Edition AR systems for interested developers who support Lampix.
According to the VP of Marketing, Lampix, This is a key step in getting Lampix into the hands of developers and technology enthusiasts around the U.S. and, later, the world.
