I-CONIC Vision AB

I-conic is aiming to become the core of the 4D video revolution. In a 4D video you can move freely in the three dimensions of space, plus in the time domain. It is like a computer game where you move in an animated world – but with the exception that this a 4D model of the real world, created in real-time. You can enjoy it in real-time, we then call it 3DLive, or you can use it for replays or analytics afterwards. I-conic’s 4D solution is based on simultaneous video from two or more drones, although it will work also for video cameras on the ground. We have applied for a patent for 4D solutions based on moving cameras. With this new technology a field fire department officer will get a complete understanding on what going on at the fire site and also what it looked like minutes earlier and from any point of view; the security officer could get similar information about a crowd outside a football stadium; defence operators could get an improved understanding of what is going on at the other side of the hill; movie makers and advertisement producers would get new tools to create artistic works with; researchers can study natural events, like rivers/waves, trees, animals and other moving objects in ways that have not been possible before; and the general public could create their own 4D video clip mimicking famous scenes from “The Matrix”. Yes, you’ve probably guessed it already – we’re not really there yet. 3DLive does not yet exist. However, we have made a proof-of-concept, where we process two video streams into 3D point clouds at double video rate, 50 frames per second. Follow us here on LinkedIn, and we’ll keep you updated. Why “I-conic”? - “i” as in ‘eye’; as in ‘revolutionizing the visual impression of video’ - “conic” as in ‘conic’, the intersection of a plane and a cone, central in computer vision - “iconic” as in ‘symbolic of something else’, like ‘successful’; as in ‘the WOW feeling of 3D vision’; and from now on — as in ‘4D vision’
