Leap Motion

Leap Motion

It all started when one of our founders, David, was 3D modeling. What took 10 seconds by hand often took 30 minutes with a computer. Technology was actually getting in the way of technology. Fortunately, he’s a super-smart mathematician who figured out a remarkably accurate way of tracking natural movement down to the fingertip. So now we really can mold pixels as easily as clay. We’re obsessed with making technology work the way real life works. Because making it easier to do everything with computers makes life a lot better. It’s a pretty big idea, and we couldn’t do it without the support of our investors, partners, and developers. Then there’s our passionate, talented team. They’re the ones who make it all happen. Maybe you can. too. www.leapmotion.com...

InsideMaps

InsideMaps

Insidemaps is the world”s first mobile APP that allows anyone to easily create a 3D model and floor plan of their home. The resulting 3D model is an immersive, fast, web-based virtual environment with innovative tools to help potential home buyers visualize the interior of a home and for homeowners to try furniture and make home improvements in their 3D home. TECHNOLOGY InsideMaps is an innovative smartphone app + cloud solution that makes 3D model creation of homes easy. The product’s technology components include the following: Guided image-capture smartphone client application + real-time sensor fusion / feature point tracking system. Server-side 3D reconstruction algorithms including feature point detection, noise filtering and object recognition. Optimized WebGL 3D UI and visualization framework for homeowner-friendly usability. https://www.insidemaps.com/...

BitGym

BitGym

We believe the phrase “20 minutes of cardio” has done serious damage to people’s relationship with fitness. People are simply not wired to value miles, minutes or calories. We are wired to value other things: autonomy, mastery, community and tangible achievement. Sports are great at giving us these, but sports are not always convenient for our day to day exercise. We wanted to build something that was. Something we could deploy to millions of people without any costly hardware. Something which fundamentally transforms exercise into a fun and fulfilling experience. The best answer so far is exercise and motion games running on widely available hardware, and so that is what we have been building. It was in our pursuit of this vision that we developed the camera-based motion tracking which underpins BitGym. We believe due to technology like this we are only a matter of years away from a future where video games are the default assumption for what you do after you lace up your gym shoes. http://www.bitgym.com/...
