..to not only help us attain a great night’s sleep

but also bring together some of our favorite things at the touch of our smartphone screen

..from sailing through the stars,

to streaming your favorite TV shows, playing movies and music videos, checking the latest buzz on social media, catching an exciting game or the latest celebrity gossip, watching a concert, or even reading your favorite blog, book, or children's story at bedtime –

whatever you wish to do, let’s do it with StarSailor – LiveSky.

Place it on a flat surface, such as a nightstand or table top, or hang it on your wall and project your requests onto the ceiling. You can set your device up in any room – our favorite: the bedroom.

Lay back and enjoy a scenic view. Whether you are cozying up in your home in Belgium, or on a business trip in Toronto, you can view the African sky in real time right on your very own ceiling. Don’t feel like escaping to Africa for the night? That’s ok. Switch over to the Aurora Borealis as they see it in the depths of the Great White North. You can even add to the experience by playing some pre-recorded sounds such as Desert, Ocean, or Rain – who doesn’t love to curl up to the sound of rain - to give you the feeling of actually being somewhere else. If you’re trying to eliminate the sounds of trees or rain well, that’s okay too there`s an option of a soft, white noise setting.

For those who simply want to climb in bed and go to sleep just use your device to project the time and your own personalized alarm.

StarSailor - LiveSky, with its app and add-ons, allows you to determine if you are getting a restful sleep and if not, why. The settings and data analysis will let you know and monitor room temperature, decipher humidity level, help establishing air quality as measured by dust particles

..with StarSailor`s rich data, determine if snoring, sleep talking, or sleep apnea may be a contributing factor.. View your sleep habits in convenient charts, daily, weekly, monthly.

By doing so, you can determine how long you slept and what the conditions were – temperature, lighting, sound, etc.

The "Sleep Timer" feature will also let StarSailor and the room go dark allowing for deep sleep. Scared of the dark? You can leave the unit on low lighting all night as well, like a night light but cooler.

StarSailor - LiveSky will open up a whole new world before you, creating a liberating feel in your room. With videos and sounds of beautiful scenery from around the world, you will feel as if you are actually there.

Aside from live camera feeds, StarSailor – LiveSky also comes with pre-made projection settings if you prefer the Milky Way galaxy or some of our other designs. You can also connect the device to your smartphone and project live TV, sports games,

An Ambience Creator:

StarSailor - LiveSky also provides soothing sounds to help you drift off to sleep- including gently ocean waves, white noise, swishing trees and other peaceful ambient sounds. These sounds can also be muted at pre-set times (like 10, 30, or 50 min), or allowed continue through the night as white noise to block out the outside sounds and disturbances.

A Sleep Monitoring System:

StarSailor - LiveSky has several sensors that work along with optional add ons to monitor the atmospheric conditions in your bedroom to help improve your sleep. The temperature, humidity, dust particles and such conditions can be monitored while you sleep. When you can monitor and control these conditions, you can improve your sleep duration and quality much more.

"it's better when we're in sync" -- Using a low energy Bluetooth connection, you can use your smartphone to control your StarSailor – LiveSky device. This will allow you to control and change settings quickly without being directly beside your unit.

"if music be the food of love.." -- Built-in speakers allow you to play pre-recorded sounds such as Desert, Ocean, and Rain. Play this while viewing a starry sky and you’ve got the perfect atmosphere to fall asleep in – no pesky bugs and the comfort of your own bed; it’s almost like having a ceiling made of glass. You can also stream radio stations, play your iPod, or use the USB port for your MP3 player when you’re yearning for a quick song and dance.

Don’t worry, we can’t see or hear you so don’t hold back on your best Freddy Mercury impression or Harlem Shake. You can also sync your unit up to your own home audio system to add some oomph! to those bass pumping songs or that really scary movie you love.

"..the air soft as that of Seville in April.." -- The air quality in the room can significantly affect your sleep without your realizing it, as dust and other particulate matter can alter your breathing. The air quality sensor within StarSailor - LiveSky can detect dust, pollen and particulates in your bedroom air, so that you can know and adjust the conditions of your room to remove these sleep disturbances.

"..to live is to keep moving, but..” -- With the help of Add-ons StarSailor will track even more details about your snooze patterns. When do you fall asleep? Do you move a lot? Do you have a dog that jumps on and off your bed repeatedly and if so, does that disturb your sleep?

"..and you are one of the lights, the light of all lights.” -- The night light function uses RGB LED lights that provide a soft, distinct glow. The unit lights up just enough to let you see around your room but not enough to spoil your sleep.

"..you’re hot then you’re cold.." -- Both temperature and humidity can potentially spoil your sleep, and it is important that you can detect and control these two conditions for the best night’s sleep. StarSailor - LiveSky has sensitive temperature and humidity sensors to monitor your bedroom all night, so that both LiveSky and you can learn about which conditions are ideal for your sleep.

"..with a flick of the wrist" -- When you’re ready to shut off that pesky alarm simply wave your hand over the StarSailor – LiveSky. No need to worry about hitting any buttons. When you’re not using motion sensor to shut your alarm off, the same sweeping motion will activate projection display so you can view details such as time and temperature. Also, use motion sensor for the night light function.

"WiFi with my little eye" -- The StarSailor – LiveSky device comes with a powerful WiFi chip built in. This allows the unit to access the most recent updates. It will also allow the global camera feeds to report live imaging back to your device so you can access real-time views as seen around the world.

"..am I awake or am I only dreaming?" -- Research says that sudden, loud blaring alarms are not the best way to wake up in the morning. The StarSailor - LiveSky device acts as a great alarm clock, which wakes you up gently and slowly. The alarm sounds (select from ocean waves to your own favorite radio station!) start at very low volume and slowly increase in volume till you wake up.

"testing, testing, 1, 2, 3.." -- There is a high-sensitivity microphone within the device that can pick up on noises in your bedroom including snoring, sleep talking and any noise disturbances during the night..

..and many more additional features, such as:

Children’s Mode

setting.. In this mode you can select a bedtime story to be projected onto the ceiling and even read out loud to you and your children!

Set the timer for when the book will be finished and the unit will power down so that no one is disturbed.

F.A.Q

How Is StarSailor - LiveSky Different From Other Devices?

There are several projection devices that project the same bland and static images of the night sky or just stars. Some even play soothing sounds as ambience or soothing noise during the night. Then there are other separate devices that can sense some of the room conditions while you are asleep or awake.

However, nothing compares to what StarSailor – LiveSky has to offer.

There are many cool features included in StarSailor – LiveSky. As the campaign progresses, and with your valued feedback and great ideas, we will be sure to add more convenient features to suit your lifestyle!

How Does StarSailor - LiveSky Work?

StarSailor – LiveSky is a small and stylish projection device that can be placed on your nightstand or on a table in your bedroom. The device is controlled using a smartphone app which allows you to manage the projection settings – whether you want to switch from the night sky to the Northern Lights or from ocean waves to gently swishing trees.

The device has some optional add-ons: a thin, lightweight sleep bracelet, a teddy bear and a sleep pad. Together with the sensors on the projection device the details of your sleep duration, sleep restlessness and room conditions are recorded. You can then track these details on your smartphone and check under which conditions you get the best undisturbed sleep.

When you log on to the app using your smartphone you can personalize the sound and projection settings in many ways. You can also set timers for projection and sound so that they turn off at a particular time. In addition to this, you can also turn the sounds on at a particular time, thus making StarSailor – LiveSky a great alarm device that will wake you up with gentle sounds unlike the usual blaring alarm clocks.

Is the device battery operated? What about the add-ons?

- The device does not require batteries. It must be plugged into an electrical socket. The add-ons are battery operated. However, we have designed them to last approximately one year. Replacements can be purchased through us at nominal cost.

Why should I purchase an add-on?

- Well, even though the StarSailor – LiveSky device does a lot of cool things while you sleep the add-ons get up close and personal. What do we mean by this? While the device itself monitors details about your room the add-ons monitor details about you. When you use an add-on you can learn additional things about your sleep habits such as how fast you fall asleep, how long you stay asleep, and how much you might move around. This will help tell you if you’re a sound sleeper or a restless one. These are some of the reasons you should purchase an add-on.

Where can I use StarSailor - LiveSky?

- There is no need to restrict the use of your device to any particular room. As we said before, we prefer the bedroom but feel free to experiment and tell us what your favorite room is! The unit is portable and lightweight so you can take it with you on business trips, visiting the in-laws, or just anywhere you might want to watch a movie or take a nap.

Which phones/devices can StarSailor - LiveSky be used with?

- At this time, it is our plan to make it compatible with iOS, Android and Windows based phones and tablets.

How far away can I be from the device to operate or change settings?

- Since the device syncs up with your smartphone using Bluetooth, normal ranges could be applied here. The average distance for Bluetooth connection is 10 metres or 33 feet. So long as you are within this range and the devices have room to communicate you should be able to skip over that song that you don’t want anyone to know you actually really like.

How big is the device and are there different designs?

- At this time we have designed one unit. We think it’s pretty sleek and sexy, don’t you? Once we get this unit up to our high standards we will absolutely consider other designs but for now, this is the one we’re sticking with. We do make it nice and compact at around 6.30” by 3.15” (~16x8 cm) weighing only a few pounds.

When will it be ready to ship?

- Depending on the success of this campaign – hint, hint – we will have it ready to ship by February 2018, possibly sooner. We promise to keep you posted on the timeline as we progress.

Will you be adding more features to StarSailor - LiveSky?

- Yes! We are constantly working to add new features and cool ideas to this device. Got any that you’d like to see? We would love to hear from you. Please comment and/or use our contact information provided on the campaign page to send us your thoughts. All will be much appreciated and surely will help us to shape the future of the product, add-ons and features.

Yes, We Chose Crowdfunding. Why?

- Well, we chose it because we fully love and believe in our product and we know you will too.

* some design features we made on the road..

It might only take one person to come up with an idea but it takes a team to get it to market and our team needs your help.

* it needs months of intensive hardwork, planning and implementations on everything from time, funds, energy budgets to a big network of people and companies to make something big like this

Your belief in our product and contribution to our campaign make you an important part of making dreams happen, both for our team and for you and your family.

Since we have found a team of individuals who love this device we know there will be more of you out there. We decided to create a campaign page using Indiegogo in order to not only obtain financial support but important feedback from valued ‘backers’ such as yourself.

* From things such as software development, legal consultations, running costs, licenses, Indiegogo fees and everything in between we have done our best to use our own equipment, supplies and funding. For things like hardware, tooling, manufacturing and prototypes there are large numbers involved. We are very meticulous and careful with our calculations for cost; this includes financial, manpower and time invested as well. We cover as much as we can but this campaign will help us with some of the larger numbers that alone, we just can’t reach..

Alarm clock, night light, built-in microphone to pick up sounds, WiFi system, controlled using smartphone apps, plus more cool features. In addition to all of that, we want this to be an “Open Source” project with IFTTT support and Z-Wave capabilities but this requires support from a community. We believe you are part of that StarSailor – LiveSky community and together we will make this device a must-have for every home.

We would like to let you know we have set very high standards for this project and we will not stop until we are satisfied. We still have some stars to map out, if you will, be we have a team of qualified and dedicated people working on this. We are confident that we will meet our estimated delivery date and we may even be ready before then – if we are, you will be the first to know! We are working hard to follow a well crafted project timeline and we are excited for what’s to come.
