The company developed MPEG-4 advanced video coding (AVC) compression systems designed for HD video content delivery. The technology, based on how the brain processes images, was co-invented by UC Berkeley Professor of Neurobiology William Geoffrey Owen and Sean McCarthy (Berkeley PhD, Bioengineering). The inventors co-founded startup Sensory Technologies, later renamed Viasense, to commercialize a perceptual processing tool kit for professional pay TV encoders, leveraging their research into the biology of human vision. The intellectual property was then licensed to...
Indoor Reality's visual and metric documentation of the indoors creates technological bridges between the physical and digital worlds. The company's patented hardware and software platform automates 3D-tagging of objects, and dimension measurements, making it possible for property owners, facility managers, and others to provide real time, 3D tours of facilities. Applications include architecture, engineering, and construction, energy audits, facilities management, commercial real estate, first respondents, and real time occupancy tracking.
Humen, Inc. is a platform for personalized interactive content creation using artificial intelligence. The AI platform permits transferring movements and skills through video, enabling users to share video content. Its popular iOS app, Sway: Magic Dance, uses state of the art AI modelling to generate video. The fun-to-use app generates videos of users based on a source video uploaded by the user doing basic motions, like moving around, kicking their legs or waving their arms. Its PyTorch-backed proprietary GAN Neural Network model creates a digital skeleton of the user....
