SCALE Nanotech, an advanced R&D company based in Estonia, has announced the launch of its spinout Dragon Elements in Spain, aiming to enter into the XR and wearable electronics sector. Dragon Elements is set to commercialize LATIDO® capsules, a graphene-based technology designed to "redefine human interaction with hardware by eliminating the need for traditional audio and video components", as per the Company.
LATIDO® aims to mark a "radical shift in audiovisual hardware". Unlike conventional technology that requires separate components for sound and vision, LATIDO® harnesses millions of graphene membranes to seamlessly control both light and sound within a single monolithic device, removing the need for separate screens or speakers.
“We are building a paradigm shift with the power of people worldwide,” said Santiago Cartamil, CEO of Dragon Elements and Managing Director of SCALE Nanotech. “LATIDO® is designed to reshape the audiovisual market, and the XR industry needs to adapt. The change is happening now.”
To ensure a global rollout, LATIDO® chips will be initially distributed in “capsules” for testing, simplifying evaluation and pre-commercial testing, while making them accessible to lead users and developers. This positions Dragon Elements as a new entrant in the XR and wearable markets. Dragon Elements aims to unify audio and visual capabilities into one device, elevating the user experience in a new way.
Dragon Elements is launching a community-driven financing campaign (crowdfunding) to gauge public interest. The initiative will offer LATIDO® capsules and evaluation kits for developers, fostering a community around the technology while laying the groundwork for future gadgets.
