I a huge fan of crowded funding since I was in High school. The reason I’m in to this as you will always be amazed that how far people will go in order makes their dream come true. Lots of amazing things that kickstarter and indiegogo—some of the biggest crowd funding website in the world—give birth to, like smart watches, a cool geeky gadget, headphones and movies. And today, When I just hang around on the web side, I came across this.
My first reaction is very difficult to describe. The only words I can say is, wow.
That tells me I got to be that Jarvis in Ironman film very soon!
With that excitement, I scroll down.
This company sells their product “Bleen”and clam that they can project a 3D image into thin air without any medium, as large as 2.5 meters. Also, the “Bleem” CPU is all costume made and extremely fast. They have two products, but basically have the same function: project things in to thin air. It’s seems that if you bought their product, your life will become like this:

How cool is that!
However, as a tech-geek/nerd, I just could not think so what just happened. The reason is very simple: some of the largest company like google and Microsoft, they only have existing product like hololens or google glass that could preform a sort-of reality enhancement; the most famous company of producing Holograns is Oculus is still struggling with how to not make people dizzy. It’s just very hard to believe that such an anonymous company can achieve such a great innovated product. Nonetheless, then, things start to get wired.
First is the amount of the backer. There were only 320 backers for this project, with 66816 US dollars. However, this program was launched in October 2014, and promises that they will have their product finish at around the same time next year. The twitter of them, however, shows a different story. Their last update as at March,18th, 2015, then, they just disappear. Then it’s not hard to imagine that this is just a tech-scam and hundreds of people arguing at the command zone for their money.
Everything about this team was so real: Vladimir Titar, a Ukrain scientist used to the leader of the team, clam that he had worked with a Nobel Prize winner. However, now the page was deleted and no traces for anyone else.
Nonetheless, they never even answer the theory properly, just like the response from them to their own backer below:
But like me and the backer’re words: it just too good to be true.
