Pantomime Corporation is the creator of the Pantomime™ software platform for interactive, networked Augmented and Virtual Reality. Founded in spring 2014 by virtual reality pioneer Dr. David Levitt and core developer of The Sims™ Don Hopkins, Pantomime Corporation quickly won the Launch Silicon Valley Tech Challenge World Cup 2014 in the Digital Media / Mobile category.Our disruptive patented Pantomime™ technology lets users interact with physically realistic 3D augmented reality worlds instead of just viewing them, turning any mobile device into a gyro-accurate 3D paddle that lets users reach into AR/VR worlds and enjoy a realistic (or fantastic) response. The device’s screen looks like a pane of glass showing the virtual world seamlessly merged with the live scene on the other side.Unlike competitors, Pantomime has a model of how the mobile device is supported: tipped on a table, or gripped in a user’s hand. Users thus can realistically touch, paddle, tap, bounce, scoop, knock over objects, etc. in the 3D world by tipping and swinging the device! After decades of dreams about virtual and augmented reality, Pantomime delivers on the promise of realistic 3D animated worlds where users can reach in and participate. This is especially disruptive because no new device or headgear is needed — the required motion sensor and display hardware is already in billions of tablets and smart phones, and so costs users nothing.In a world of ubiquitous computer screens, immersive reality isn't seeing the world through just one of them. It's about all our devices harmoniously sharing one rich animated reality -- whether they're in our pockets, on our desks, in a friend’s faraway den, or in your hand.
