    Irvine, Ca, Us
    As CEO I oversee all aspects of a deep-tech start up developing the next generation platform for fully automated Spatially Augmented Reality unencumbered by shape complexity, size or movement. If traditional projection mapping is on earth trying to get to the moon, we are on the moon launching for Mars. Our success is measured by how much our technology fades into the background so our customers can focus on their business. As a platform the applications are infinite so we continue to develop a unitary code that supports any camera & projection set up from front, rear, surround or internal onto any shape regardless of complexity. By using advanced computer vision algorithms to capture the 3D mesh of the projection surface system acquisition, calibration and rendering is accomplished in minutes vs hours or days. Current applications are scalable large immersive displays for data-to-decision, mobile (defense/emergency management), low cost simulator displays (fixed & portable), and advanced applications for remote surgical guidance projected conformally onto the patients anatomy.
