Lucid Technology - Overview
The underlying concept of the innovation is based upon fundamental properties of signal transmission and its reception on a spherical surface. The technology exploits the principle that a source of light will illuminate one hemisphere of a spherical object (similar to the earth/sun system). The significance of this concept lies in the consistent and mathematically predictable position of the illuminated hemisphere relative to the light source. Harnessing this concept, a spherical receiver can be constructed with strategically placed sensors to determine the position of the illuminated hemisphere and subsequently the three-dimensional direction of the source. Lucid Dimensions is currently exploring the Spherical Detection Systems (SDS) for detecting and tracking infrared heat signatures.
