You're going to find it very difficult to get people to invest their money in something that has no demo or detailed information. Your best bet is to create a minimum viable product and get feedback from the community (HackerNews could help).

The "Ghost" blogging platform's Kickstarter is one of my all time favourites (notice how they had something to show their users before asking for money): https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/johnonolan/ghost-just-a...

Thanks for the kind words :) I wrote a series of posts a while back about all of the thinking which went into the campaign https://john.onolan.org/the-anatomy-of-a-successful-kickstar... - OP might find that useful. We borrowed a lot from other campaigns that came before us (Ouya/Pebble/etc)
