Our XR in the Wild
Recently we (@disregardfiat & @markegiles) went to a blockchain crawl in Santa Monica, CA. We were excited to show off our platform and see the reactions of users for ourselves. Here is how a typical experience went:
The card:
Video on twitter
It's a little odd handing somebody a piece of paper and telling them they are holding a dApp in their hand. This card just has the two things that auto populate our AR posts printed on it.

When you point your iPhones camera at it(or use a qr reader on android) it asks if you'd like to navigate to dlux.io.

After the application loads the user is prompted to use their camera.

The marker on the card now becomes the physical anchor for whatever information is posted. Of course, this is only one way to use AR software. Remix our Glitch and go wild. Below you can see that these dApps stored as static files on IPFS are aware of their blockchain data when loaded by the dlux front end. This one presents a transfer steem link which funds our ICO from AR, in addition to a vote button which monetizes even the software used to interact with people.

There is also a link to our VR ICO calculator. This runs on the VR section of our platform.

Which as you can see is also monetized. The VR dApps also have a built in VR chatroom so if you post an experience people who are viewing it simultaneously can interact with each other. The possibilities for games and interaction are also infinite.
This is the platform that allows anybody to create anything. We hope to see it used to publish everything from education to entertainment to games.

There are no barriers. If somebody anywhere in the world can get to a website they are likely able to view it in AR and VR. The ways we interact and communicate; uncensorable, monetized. Community controlled resource allocation. The incentivization of contributing information and content to the public domain.
Your Turn
If you own a restaurant you can make a menu app that knows which table and seat somebody is in. customize their order. Pay for it with steem and pay no fees anywhere. They can leave a review directly on your app using the blockchain again as a database. Now your user can even be paid for writing the review.
The platform is so frictionless. It requires no additional investments to do nearly anything. From making and distributing point of sales systems, to games your customers can play while waiting for food. Use TensorFlow.js with ml5.js and make haunted house experiences, sign language translators... bring art to life. That's just AR.
In VR you can utilize the same steem functions, like encrypting and decrypting p2p communication using steem published pgp keys. The trust for distributing public keys is the most exploitable attack vector for pgp... which we believe makes this vgp(very good privacy). Yes, obscured public commerce!
Ride Sharing Use Case Explained
Our world is getting more automated. How much will ride sharing cost when nobody is at the wheel? We can use a posted dApp that gets our location, encrypts the location and then handshakes with the ride-sharing API. Once the details are hammered out the dApp makes a comment, the user is then prompted to like the comment, and the dApp likes the post for the rest of whatever it costs to run the car.
We can apply proof of brain this way to any good or service used by people. By generating services and resources we require we attribute value and encourage opensource answers to our societal problems. Working together. Everywhere. Software that pays for itself. Solutions that pay for themselves.
Donating to our ICO
Software and solutions that pay for themselves. We are tokenizing impact to society. Own your say in the future. Decide what "content" you'd like to see by valuing it with votes. Literally shape your world by resource allocation with your tokenized attention. The ultimate crowdfunding platform. Where everything produced is free for everybody; and where anybody can create and be rewarded.
ICO Announcement
ICO Portal
Looking for Partners
We are looking to work with those who share our vision. Let's revolutionize user experience.
"Spent" ICO donation raises awareness while awarding SP and SBD back to our account. Effectively free advertising while we would have just moved STEEM to SP on @dlux-io anyway. Maximizing use of our resources is a feature of proof of brain. ;)
dlux SMTs are available in uncapped auction blocks.
There are 20,000,000 at auction until ~November 1st and you can participate by sending steem to @robotolux or using our ico portal which does the same thing, but lets you see you pending and locked tokens. More information here.
If you would like to bid for 2,000,000 tokens with delegation you can delegate to @dlux-io and participants will be awarded SMT via the terms/math.
Unfortunately, our steem wallets accurately reflect our real life wallets, our developers haven't received any appreciable pay during the development of this software... we're resilient though and knew the world deserved a better way to transact even if we couldn't convince an investor to help us along so far. @taskmaster4450 did a lot to raise awareness for us; we're excited to see independent viewpoints on our project, always looking for feedback and opportunities to improve ourselves and society.

Omg your question is so annoying...ur basically asking why all virtual reality is useful and thats a huge social debate right now.... but heres a bunch of obvious use cases
Games
Design
Art
Oh but now you can actually get paid when you release a new open source building design or release a new piece of 3d art or game
So for example Consumer VR didnt even exist untill a few years ago and occulus Go is brand new and has all these videos you can watch on this proprietary samsung menu, where no one is getting paid for their videos (besides some non self sustaining one time pay of favoritist selected artists) but in the future samsung can pay a group of open source steem sorcerers to integrate our steem upvote and curation system to the proprietary occulus go menu... and that shit now will let you upvote VR videos or stills or 3d models or games like the occulus has and makes you pay for... well no one will end up long term continuing to pay 10 dollars for a vr game that lasts 5 mins but if you get paid in upvotes for releasing projects you actually love to make you end up with a lot more and way more employed happy creators...
ITS hard to imagine for plankton but one day everyone will get bigger upvotes for making cool 3d objects that will all fit into different games but we just need a genius to come and give us standards
We need a new dan larimer to come build a good idea schematic that humans can then build like ants
Thanks ants

Resteemed and delegated after talking a bit more with one of the founders.
First of all, great idea to allow participating to ICO through delegation, this is something I hope to see a lot more in the future. That alone makes me want to buy more Steem to power up! This is something we should encourage.
Second, this concept is amazing. Imagine world where upvotes could be used for anything. Visit a museum, but instead of paying one expensive ticket, you could just upvote paintings that you actually want to see. Or just pay for coca cola from ATM with your upvote or pay for some cool artwork from another Steemian at Steemfest!
That would make me want to hold a lot more SP than I do now, how about you?
@roelandp this project would be cool to see at Steemfest. There's no better place for showcasing this technology.

Yeah its really frustrating how @ned wont ever look at these blockchain saving projects and how all we are doing is saving his chain and doing his work him and creating something for the actual long term future, its like where is @ned why cant he create less Dlive messes where he gets ripped off, and why cant dlux get the money? wtf man it pisses me off, this is a lot of work disregardfiat and marke have done and no one wants to support them like wtf this is the ONLY relevant thing on steem, this is what makes everything worth it, and they expect them to just sit there and never get any funding when without dlux steem isnt worth anything?
Steem monsters will NOT be worth it without a 3d system to make it fun wtf where is everyone from steemspeak where is fyrtsikken elgeko inertia all those people to help build steem and recognize this project is the only one to make this place worth using, no one will stay here unless its fun, the whole clone of reddit thing only goes so far,
Steem monsters doesnt become interesting WITHOUT dlux
DLUX is the ONLY real application for steem so WTF where is everyone? Off doing "other" projects, projects that are just not as important. This is the fastest moving project with just one or two people doing all the work, this is a joke the amount of unnecessary stress and frustration with no one on steem helping the ONLY project that will make steem actually worthy of mass adoption... fuckin sucks....
you know what steem is? A temporary sinking ship that MIGHT train you for EOS, thats about it at this point with neds failures
