Problem
Presently it is difficult to ensure accurate positioning and environmental understanding in AR/VR/XR headsets and autonomous drones with low-cost sensors in lightweight low-power devices.
SOLUTION
Spectacular AI has developed a software that enables centimeter-level positioning accuracy using cameras and IMUs. This technology is a critical component for any future AR or VR system with regards to inside-out tracking. Spectacular AI’s solutions also enables autonomous navigation in GPS-denied environments, without the need of fixed positioning infrastructure.
The technology behind Spectacular AI’s solutions is based on the founding members own research, and is packaged as an software development kit (SDK), which they license to drone and VR headset manufacturers.
KEY CUSTOMERS AND INTERNATIONAL PRESENCE
The majority of Spectacular AI’s business operations is located in Finland, and includes customers such as ARIA research, Dynim and Xiaomi Finland. Now they are looking to bolster their international presence, and exploring possibilities of expanding internationally.
Team
The team behind Spectacular AI consists of a unique mixture of seasoned software professionals plus established computer vision and machine learning researchers. With a broad range of competencies, they are ideally positioned to solve challenging problems related to Computer Vision, Spatial AI, Sensor Fusion and SLAM.
Unique selling point
The software developed by Spectacular AI is fully independent of Google, Apple, and Qualcomm, making it particularly suitable for the Chinese market. Furthermore, the technology runs in real time in low-power embedded devices, and is not tied to a specific hardware configuration.
Asia Connection
Spectacular AI is eager to connect with Asian companies that are working on AR/VR/XR headsets in any given price range. Their SDK can be thought of as an easy to use component which they specialize in perfecting, which means that they are fully committed to the product as a whole. They are also looking for potential investors for their upcoming seed-round.
