LXR Devlog #0 - Reimagining Computing
Genesis of the LXR Project
Greetings, fellow INNOvators!
Today, we embark on a journey that seeks to challenge the very foundations of our computing experience. The LXR project is born from a vision to revolutionise how we interact with technology.
The Clamshell Dilemma
For decades, laptops have adhered to the clamshell format, a design introduced in the 1980s. While this form has served us well, it's important to question if it still aligns with the demands of modern computing.
The Dilemma:
Balancing Act: Laptops aim to strike a balance between portability and functionality, but often fall short of excelling in either domain.
Health Concerns: Prolonged laptop use can lead to a range of health issues, from musculoskeletal disorders to eye strain.
E-Waste: The pursuit of slimness has led to soldered components, making repair and upgrades a challenge, contributing to the e-waste epidemic.
Privacy Risks: Visual hacking, a growing concern, poses a threat to data security when using laptops in public spaces.

LXR Vision
With these challenges in mind, the LXR project takes shape. It envisions a computing experience that transcends the limitations of current laptops.
The Concept:
Versatility Redefined: A folding keyboard chassis that integrates an ergonomic mechanical keyboard and a central processing unit, providing a modular, compact, and powerful computing solution.
AR Glasses Integration: Connects seamlessly with Augmented Reality Glasses, introducing a new dimension to computing.
The Journey Begins
The LXR project is not just a product; it's a testament to the power of imagination and innovation. In the coming posts, we will share every twist and turn, every experiment and discovery that propels this project forward.
Join us in this quest to redefine computing. Together, let's shape the future.
Until next time, keep INNOvating!
