Implemented a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) combining deep learning technologywith reverse engineered eye cells as part of an InvestNI Business Proof of Conceptproject. The MVP demonstrated that the BIO-iNspired survellianCe System (BIONICS)was capable of identifying objects in low light significantly better than the state-of-the-art. The MVP was used to demonstrate BIONICS technology at trade shows suchas the Consumer Electronics Show 2019. The MVP supported cloud or on-premisesdeployment.After developing the MVP the BIONICS team successfully applied to the North byNorthwest (NxNW) Innovation-to-Commercialisation of University Research (ICURe)programme. The ICURe programme funds an entrepreneurial lead to identify valuepropositions, develop business model canvases, and to enable customer discovery atinternational trade shows.
