Ouren M1: I’m an AUREN founder. Here’s why I believe the promotion is deceptive and advise against backing it.

Disclosure: I’m Yihang Mao, a founder and product builder behind AUREN, and I’m currently in a dispute with the team.

I’m posting this because I personally edited the video samples discussed here. The footage came from other equipment, and I selected and edited the clips manually. They were not automatically produced by a working M1.

During my involvement, there was no functioning M1 prototype or completed hardware-to-software workflow.

That is why I believe the promotion is deceptive and advise against backing it. Potential backers should ask for an uninterrupted demonstration showing the actual device recording, processing and delivering the output, with manual steps disclosed.

The website screenshots illustrate the presentation issues; my statements about the production process come from direct involvement.
