It's no secret that my co-founder and I LOVE the LEGO Group. In fact, our houses are both filled with Legos... Like a little too many Legos. Like many collectors, we both like to keep the boxes but don't want to always have to run and get it out of wherever they are stored. Rob Shields and I figured we could come up with a solution to that. Imagine walking into a store, grabbing a LEGO box, and instantly seeing the completed set in augmented reality, right on your phone. Cool, right? Or maybe, you want to scroll through your collection with a companion loyalty app (Waylucid) and see the set to remember what it's supposed to look like when assembled. Here's a rough demo we put together—it’s not perfect yet; obviously having access to the models LEGO has would improve the quality. We were thinking of adding interactive buttons and fun mini-games that could unlock perks when you buy multiple sets. Our aim? To bring digital magic to physical products and make shopping a whole new experience. If anyone out there, especially our friends at LEGO, sees potential in this, let’s chat. I’d love your feedback and ideas on where we could take this! 🚀 #AugmentedReality #Innovation #LEGO #Waylucid #AR

☑️ End of the week update 11.8.24 ☑️ A few MEGA-Trends and some previews of early modules: 【1】According to the 𝘈𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘦 2023 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘶𝘮𝘦𝘳 𝘛𝘦𝘤𝘩𝘯𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘺 & 𝘔𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘢 𝘙𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘩 𝘚𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘺, many people are going to be transitioning from social media usage to more time spent gaming. 🎮 【2】Brands are moving towards in-game and virtual world activations. In Q4 2023 there were 𝟓𝟔 new brand activations in Fortnite vs 𝟐𝟖 the prev quarter. I expect that number to continue to trend up. Especially with the play rates for the newest season. UGC on Fortnite isn't getting anywhere near 100% of the eyes but it gets enough and brands are taking notice. 【3】According to a commissioned report from Walmart on "𝘼𝙙𝙖𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙍𝙚𝙩𝙖𝙞𝙡" nearly half of Americans prefer virtual try-ons vs going to a store and trying stuff on in a traditional dressing room. Wondering what the implications for #AR could be? 【4】 Last item for this week is a preview of some of the gamification modules we are building Waylucid. I think it can be more interesting content-wise to show even the rough development stuff to see how we arrive at a final destination, so I've attached a vid of a test Rob Shields was doing this week. 🏀 🗑️ Just a simple game shooting balls through a hoop. Sometimes the most addictive gaming is just simple satisfying stuff. For example, one of the most popular games that has become iconic and stood the test of time?

☑️ End of the week update 10.25.24 ☑️ 1️⃣ Our team has been conducting some field tests with the updated UI for augmented reality navigation. The stability is vastly improved and I think it's looking really good. Video credit to our co-founder Rob Shields (Let us know what you think below! 👇 ) 2️⃣ There seems to be alot of buzz in the tech space focused on hardware but software (UI/UX) is our focus. People that know me know I like to say this: There is sit-down fine dining sushi and then there is gas station sushi. Both are "sushi" but one is enjoyable and one will leave you with lingering effects. 🍣 Waylucid is building hardware agnostic tech. We are focused on the user experience first and foremost. 3️⃣ I've personally had 100's of conversations about the potential of AR, and most people I talk to are excited and can easily see the possibilities. However, many of the people I've spoken to see AR as a "graveyard" of failed implementations/startups. What sets us apart and why now? 🔍 Focused Vision: At Waylucid, we are laser-focused on creating meaningful AR experiences that solve real-world problems rather than developing technology for the sake of technology. The stuff we make looks cool, sure, but it's focused on solving problems. 🛠️ Robust & Flexible Platform: Our platform is designed to be adaptive and versatile, making it suitable for a wide range of applications and not tied to any single hardware solution or brand. This hardware agnosticism allows us to build a scalable solution for a wide range of businesses while de-risking the investment on a per project basis. 📈 Data-Driven Insights: Leveraging LUCIDCORE, our backend correlative AI engine, means our solutions continuously evolve by learning through each event, and focusing on optimal experiences/engagement. This feedback loop generates compounding value that we use to provide what I like to call "long-tail" ROI for our customers. 🌐 Strategic Timing: With the recent attention and validation from industry giants like Walmart, Apple and OpenAI advancing AI and AR, the market is ripe for innovation. Key industries are now more receptive to adopting these technologies, providing a fertile ground for our well-timed go-to-market strategy. ——————————————————————————————— Make sure to sign up for the waitlist on our website: https://www.waylucid.com ——————————————————————————————— Did you find this update helpful or interesting?
