LemurBox 2.0
Home: California, United States
LemurBox is a customizable diorama device framework that converts your smartphone or tablet into an interactive AI powered 3D XR device. The device supports talking to an AI powered pseudo-hologram, enables 2 way holographic chats, empowers visualizing and generating 3D models and can also be used as a teleprompter device or as a secondary passive monitor as well. The hardware ships with a suite of smartphone apps that include an AI-powered holographic avatar, a 3D model viewer and much more! Using this framework, we are inventing a radically novel way for humans to interact with Al and has broad implications across EdTech , AdTech, CommTech, ToyTech & of course, the general Consumer Tech markets.

Makers
HAL51 AI
We are a bunch of makers, hackers and research scientists from Carnegie Mellon and UCSD working on frugal science inspired AI hardware. Our vision is to invent a new modality for humanity to interact with AI beyond 2D video, voice and text!

What Inspired You to Make This?
1: Currently, there's an absence of entry-level sub-$50 hardware to experience the riches of the ongoing revolutions in the fields of 3D computer vision and Large Language models. 2: Hardware philosophy: Frugal science meets friction-fit glue-free design meets BYOD (Bring your own device). Don't enhance the silicon footprint unless required to! Hence, we built a modular multi-utility low cost 3D device using 'hidden-in-plain-sight' commercial grade optical materials.
