Aurora claims entering final production

**FryingMan** · 11-23-2015 02:48 PM

Supposedly, all the deposits have been paid to the supply chain and now the Aurora creators are awaiting the flood of materials. They claimed a 45-day lead time. So we're probably looking at early 2016, unless there's a hiccup. There are going to be peasants storming the castle with torches and pitchforks if the Aurora doesn't perform up to expectations.

Previous to this post, I'd never heard of Aurora. It looks incredibly better than all of the other lucid dreaming masks that have come out recently, count me interested.

That's not a very high bar to beat, considering basically only the remee counts as coming out recently, and it doesn't have REM detection. Mine also broke after just a few months of use (and not one LD from it).

I'm adopting a "let's wait and see". I think EILD tech is cool, and would like there to be a rich selection available on the market. Producing a working mass-market EILD device, though, is not easy and not cheap, with a still relatively small market.

Haha, you're not lying at all. That's why I was a little concerned when I looked into it, due to the fact that it looked just like any other dreaming mask. But, after reading your post and looking a bit more into the item itself, I can't help but feel interested as well. Thanks for the share!

I too am looking forward to getting my Aurora. I pre-ordered it in Feb. of this year, (before the price went up), and have high hopes for it to help induce some LD's. I talked with the CEO, Danny Schoonover, and asked him if it worked for him. He told me that for him it worked about 60% of the time, and he is not a frequent lucid dreamer, so I'm more than just interested I'm psyched!!

"Guys, we are building aurora because all prior devices lacked in (1) accuracy and (2) features. And to this day, you still cant find a product like Aurora anywhere! So please be patient, its coming!" (Source - KS).

(1) How do we know the Aurora is accurate? There are NO test results.

(2) The features sound good on paper but are as yet to be proven.
There are many useless gadgets that are not fit for the intended purpose already.

The final product is already well overdue.

I'll believe it when I double or triple my LD frequency when wearing it. We'll see. I HOPE that 2016 really is the year of working and effective EILD devices coming to market. Aurora, N2D2 (PLEASE! I mean, really!), and maybe an Oneirics beta?

Heck I'd probably even settle for a well-documented easy-to-build homebrew solution that doesn't involve wires.

It is not going to happen in 2016.

There are already a few generic designs out there (mainly based around IR technology) already on the net. You could also try Lucidcode, BrainBay, Instructables, etc.

You would need to tailor one to your specific habits and needs for more chance of success.
When I have experimented I always targeted the post-WBTB period, but I usually get flamed for saying that, yet that is when most LD's are likely to occur, due to long REM periods. Simples!

Why wear an EEG-based device from the start of the night when it WILL fail and not calibrate in the middle of the night?

I'm sure you have the background to research and knock one up instead of waiting forever for something that may/may not work as intended?

Update on the Aurora: They had some issues with the plastic molds, and circuit boards, they have also updated the straps on the units. Production is one month behind schedule. :-( Beta testers will receive the product, they are shipping next week.
