We are building the first blockchain based ‘image mining’ network for augmented reality or any other computer vision system, such as the Lampix product. We are creating a new blockchain that will hold {image,description} data-sets of real world objects. This data is a vital prerequisite for augmenting reality systems ranging from smartphones, wearable glasses, or our own Lampix product.
We already have the lampix software team, used it to build the platform to its current stage and deliver to the current POC customers
2017/08 - Hardware team: core in place
More resources recruited as needed.
2017/08 - Lampix (tens, 3D Printed, 3rd prototype version)
These are the prototypes we are currently building and selling to POC customers.
2017/09 - Lampix POC customers
Signed BMW, working on a few other large accounts which we will disclose soon.
2017/10 - Business development and operations team complete
Currently recruiting business development team for both PIX ecosystem and Lampix
2017/12 - Lampix larger rollout from POC customer
Our next business development target with Lampix is to do a larger roll-out of the device, probably in a retail environment.
2017/12 - Lampix Kickstarter
To increase visibility of both the PIX ecosystem and Lampix as a device useful for mining but also for other applications (open API) we will launch a Kickstarter campaign for an initial developer-oriented version of Lampix. Buyers will be able to mine, create apps, and also use the PIX ecosystem to get their own training data teaching Lampix new skills.
2017/12 - PIX software team complete
Currently recruiting for the PIX software development team, already have good candidates for both backend and frontend positions.
2018/01 - Javascript API public release
This is the public release of the Javascript API enabling developers to build their own Apps on Lampix. It includes an improved version of the simulator.
2018/02 - Lampix (hundreds, urethane casted)
Next level of prototypes, we can build hundreds of these using a technique called urethane casting. These will be used in the first larger customer rollouts. For this step we have to figure out the details of the hardware, including if we do a partnership with Intel.
2018/04 - PIX Ecosystem Closed Beta
We will use the PIX ecosystem platform for creating internal datasets, to assess / test the system. We might include key customers in this phase, but it is still TBD. Already using external miners which can earn PIX.
This includes the lampix app that guides the user through mining samples, as well as the server side software that gathers the samples and parts of the system that assesses the quality of the dataset, in order to provide instant feedback to the miner. It also includes an automated training system on a standard DNN architecture, so users without ML knowledge can train and directly use their data in their lampix apps. The data is also submitted to the PIX ecosystem.
2018/06 - Whiteboard collaboration app
The whiteboard collaboration app will be delivered with the Kickstarter version of Lampix, it shows off the usefulness of Lampix in a collaborative work environment.
2018/06 - PIX Ecosystem Open Beta
We will have a first version of the system ready to be used for external customers, enabling them to search for and request datasets.
For the PIX ecosystem we need to sign at least 2-3 external participants for the initial open beta phase. Through our crowd-funding we already have access to data miners, so the initial open beta participants will mostly be data consumers.
2018/08 - PIX ecosystem Launch
First version of the PIX ecosystem for full production use, containing a subset of all the envisioned features. Subsequent releases will follow on a quarterly basis and add all planned features. The order in which the features will be added is dependent on the results and feedback obtained in the Beta stages, as well as the feedback from the BD team up to this point.
2018/10 - Lampix (first production run)
First production version of Lampix, delivered to B2B and also to Kickstarter customers.
