We’re Mike and @raymondlei – cofounders at Lumina. We’re excited to share what we’ve been working on, the Lumina Desk (https://getlumina.com/desk). Last January, we founded Lumina with the mission of building the next-generation workspace. We started off by launching a product called the Lumina Webcam, essentially a modern webcam that uses software to make you look good. Building hardware is hard, and it’s been no different for us. We ran an Indiegogo campaign in September that raised ~$700k, scrambled to figure out hardware production (encountering every obstacle you can imagine - customs, supplier issues, parts incompatibilities), and chewed through enough glass in order to start shipping in December. But between then and now, we’ve shipped 20k units, made tons of improvements, and gotten some glowing customer reviews. Next: we’re building the desk. We set out to rethink this centuries-old product and figure out how to make it into a more useful, productivity enhancing tool. To start, we’re viewing the desk as a digital device, not just a mechanical one. Your desk could be an extension of your digital workspace; a complement to your phone and computer. So we’re designing the Lumina Desk to have an embedded display. The thought is: from your desk, you’ll be able to check your calendar, receive call and chat notifications, and more. Or you can install (or build your own) apps to further customize it. Think of the browser tabs that you keep open to occasionally glance at – the ones with dashboards or calendars or news feeds. These can now be in your desk, playing a role similar to a paper calendar or newspaper, but now in a seamlessly digital format. With a digital desk, it can also play an active role in your health. Like a way to schedule times to sit or stand, or sensors that detect ergonomic input, or an in-desk dashboard that shows you your health stats. Finally, we surveyed all the desks on the market and were surprised that few of them had the core fundamentals people want. How many desks have enough cable storage to hide all your cables? Enough usb and power sockets to power your workstation? Enough wireless charging space to charge all your wireless devices? These features should be tablestakes for any professional desk. We’re in the early days of the desk, and there’s still room to shape the development of the product. If you have ideas on how we make the ultimate workspace, reach out and let us know. If you might be interested in building apps, we’d love to talk to you about building our first few apps. Thanks so much for reading this. There’s a ton of work to be done, and your early support means a lot to us.

As a long-time standing desk user, this looks INCREDIBLE! What an awesome idea, especially exciting to build our own apps. What languages can we use to build our own apps / what's the dev platform?

I've had a box full of cable management stuff sitting unopened for months, you're saying I can return it? I'm in! 😅

I just got an email asking for a 500 dollar deposit to "secure my spot" on the waitlist. Yet, there's still no information about final pricing anywhere? Not even an estimate? This is nutty.

Incredible product market fit! I’m sold, but can someone build a Breakout app to install in my desk? 👾

This looks absolutely amazing! For me, what it will come down to is: 1. Price 2. Which apps are supported—how easy it is to create your own "dashboards" Other than that—this is an absolute dream—amazing Lumina! (I got the Lumina webcam, and it's probably one of the best on the market. The software layer on top of it really makes all the difference—and it supports name badges which everyone on my team loves!) Keep it up Lumina—y'all are awesome!

I've been using a standing desk for years, and the Lumina looks like it's got everything built-in that I've added piecemeal in 5 years of customization. Plus an embedded display.
