Smart Carnival appears to be a legitimate but small-scale IoT venture focused on automated photography for amusement rides (specifically water rides, citing hydrophobic lens tech). While the core utility is valid—modernizing ride photography—the submission contains significant exaggerations. The claim that 'most people have used my product' is contradicted by the stated financial data ('all time marketcap: 500,000', likely meaning total cumulative revenue or valuation), which implies a micro-scale operation since its 2016 launch. With a team of 6 and no major recent press or verifiable large-scale deployments since exhibiting at IAAPA 2018, the project seems to be a niche lifestyle business or stalled venture rather than a ubiquitous industry standard.
