ItÔÇÖs been a while we are focusing on AR Technology and its uses. We like to introduce our users a new program where holders of LPK will be able to explore this technology.
Want to know about “Augmented Reality”?
Augmented reality (AR) is a technology that will turn the real-life environment into a digital interface by creating virtual objects in the real world, in real-time. There are three main ways to experience AR now. The first method is through an AR viewer which places life-size 3D objects in the environment. The second method is an AR browser which would, for example, give you information about a certain monument if you were to point the camera at it. The third method is AR gaming which will create objects of the game in real-life surroundings. The most well-known example of AR gaming so far is Pok├®mon Go. The most commonly used form of AR now is through mobile devices. However, head-mounted displays, glasses, and lenses, as well as PC and connected TV players can also be used.
L-Pesa will use Spheroid Universe platform in this program.
Space Dividends for LPK Holders
We are excited to reveal that, from 26th January, LPK holders will be getting a Space per week as a Dividend for holding 2 Million LPK with them. Spaces are now ERC721 token and will be credited to the user’s Metamask wallet that will be linked to Spheroid Universe.
Users who will hold 2 Million LPK will get 1 space per week. Users will get their favorite space in Indonesia, India, Bangladesh & Africa! More countries will be added soon under this program.
(More details about its working will be shared on 18th-19th January)
what is virtual plots (Spaces)? How can it be utilized?
The Earth is shaped as a Spheroid. The world of Spheroid is the world of planet
EarthÔÇÖs augmented virtual reality. It comprises a limited number of 3D plots with precise geographic coordinates on earth surface, which are filled with visual information.
We call these plots Spaces.
A Space is intellectual property that is created, registered and protected based on and in accordance with the laws of the European Union.
Each Space may be filled with advertising, visual imagery, reference, navigational, entertaining and other content, grouped into layers within the Space. The owner of a Space manages the information within these layers and monetizes it. He or she chooses who, how and on what terms may publish information in his or her Space.

Important Update: January 14 2019
Yesterday, we had taken a trial of the distribution of Space as dividends.
We got following things from it:
1. Its quite a tough job to collect the details of the users, details include:
Metamask wallet address, Chosen Space and its screenshot, Its Space key.
Users will also find it irritating to choose a space and fill-up the Google form every week.
Collecting Info with users then buying their desired space and then allocating them one by one into their wallet is a lengthy process and might got delays to credit our users.
Giving spaces in selected countries will limit the users search and there will be many users who would not be interested in getting in these specific countries.
So, to solve all the above findings, we comes to a solution!
Eligible users will get 100 SPH(Tokens to buy space, 100 SPH is 0.10$*100=10$) every week into their Spheroid universe’s wallet. This will make users more comfortable as they could independently choose their space anywhere in the world and also for us, it will be a sweet and short process to follow.
