LUME — Internal Brief (for VC pitch generation)

This brief is the source-of-truth the deck generator reads. It is INTERNAL. Architecture detail is fair game here. The public-content secret-sauce rule does NOT apply to this file or any deck generated from it. LUME is a real-time body-driven audio + visual install engine. A song plays. A body moves. The room watches both. When the rhythm catches the body and the body locks in, the wall remembers it. The room becomes a partner. It runs as a self-contained piece of hardware that goes in venues: bars, lounges, galleries, retail spaces, brand-experience rooms. The body becomes the instrument. The visuals reward the alignment. People stop scrolling. They start watching themselves. - Multi-modal real-time engine: 21 Unity components, audio FFT + body tracking + depth reproject + optical flow + GPU compute pipeline, all running together at 60Hz on a small mini-PC. - Original wire-format suite (LUME / LUMD / LUMF / LUMM) over UDP. Each surface (audio, depth, mocopi motion, point clouds) has its own protocol, version-stable, reusable across publishers. - Computational choreography score: a real-time metric of body-music alignment that drives visuals back into the loop. Patentable territory; nobody else has shipped a scored body-music install engine. - Editor-grade tooling: F2 choreography panel, F12 calibration panel, one-click scene auto-wire. Operators can install + tune in a venue in <2 hours. - Hardware-software co-design: K11 mini-PC + Orbbec Femto Mega depth camera + dual Arducam IMX586 RGB cameras + 1920x440 IPS bar display + custom 3D-printed shell (31 parts, 7 plates, ASA filament, Elegoo Max). - 73-test pytest suite + Wave 1-9 architecture lineage. Production-grade, not demo-grade. - Wave 1-8 complete: audio reactor, depth reproject, optical flow, VFX bridge, fluid sim hooks, F2 choreography panel, motion-OSC bridge, computational choreography scorer - 21 Unity components live and integrated - K11 mini-PC online, three packet streams green - 73 fast pytest tests passing, byte-level wire-format regression - Hardware: K11 + Orbbec Femto Mega + dual Arducam IMX586 + 1920x440 IPS bar display defined for the current shell - Software: full Wave 8 stack on Mac1 main, ready for first reel record - 3D print queue: 31 parts, 7 plates, ~50 hours total, ASA matte white + signal orange palettes
