The goal of LunCo is to integrate Space & Robotics industry existing models into one Virtual World, allowing collaborative (concurrent) engineering.
It has an educational mode to onboard students into space engineering and web3 without knowing that they are learning, so it's kind of a Play2Learn mode.
On the other hand LunCo has a strong social component for engineers, issuing IP-NFT for their designs, allowing sharing CAD and other types of designs easilly and without central authority
The below diagram highlights the overall idea.
LunCo is focused on Data Sovereignty, meaning that there is no need for central server. Users can run it locally, use it to edit their project, and then share it with the community using IP-NFTs for data discoverability, and decentralized data exchange networks like IPFS to share data itself.
Why Web3?
Web3 technology allows decentralization, which is crucial as engineering work is often dispersed across various teams.
The most common approach to knowledge sharing is email, which, while universal, is not the most efficient form of data exchange in today's digital age. On the other hand, Web3 provides advanced tools for file sharing and data exchange.
Impact
Through LunCo, we aim to:
- Lower engineering costs, by making knowledge sharing much more efficient
- Democratize the engineering landscape, providing equal access to manufacturing software for all
- Foster a global engineering community encouraging data and technology transfer across domains
- Serve as a repository of high-quality data for engineering AI
Roadmap & Features
