What it is
Lumen is a phone-controlled projection mapping tool from Shift-9, a design and engineering studio. The product appears positioned as a creative tool for live projection work, but evidence of adoption and monetization is minimal across available sources.
The one thing to knowNo corroborated user adoption, revenue, or demand signals exist beyond a single subreddit post; the landing page emphasizes studio services rather than product-market fit.
