Kaarta provides Long-Range Mobile Mapping
Founding Year: 2016
Location: Pittsburgh, US
Funding: USD 6,5 M
Industries: Construction
Partner with Kaarta for Drone-based & Handheld Surface Mapping
US-based startup Kaarta offers long-range mobile mapping for the construction industry. The startup deploys 3D scanners to enable real-time scanning and position estimation for outdoor and indoor applications. Its product has integrated software to display the scanned data in high resolution. The scanners allow construction managers to identify floor structures using smart-scan algorithms and generate 2D images of the point cloud. It further enables mobile mapping for items such as curbs, manholes, signs, and poles, among others. The devices are carried by hand or mounted on vehicles or drones, depending upon their use. Besides, the product is able to scan beneath tree canopies, inside buildings, or in areas where the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) is obscured.
creative crops offers 3D Food Scans
Founding Year: 2018
Location: Winterthur, Switzerland
Industry: Food
Partner with creative crops for 8K Food Model Rendering
Swiss startup creative crops generates 3D scans of food items. The startup’s technology enables real-time food scans and provides the 3D models with high-resolution texture maps in 8K resolution, ready to render. Besides, these lightweight models are re-topologized from millions of polygons to an average of 5 000-20 000 as well as provide a texture map to control subsurface scattering. The startup offers a food scan library that restaurants and other food businesses are able to license on request for use in ads, visualization, games, and more.
The Fit enables Apparel Size Recommendation
Founding Year: 2016
Location: Stockholm, Sweden
Funding: USD 300 000
Industry: Textiles
Engage with The Fit for Digital Size Guidance
The Fit is a Swedish startup that scans body size. The startup uses machine learning and 3D scanning technologies to provide customers with the right apparel size recommendations. Its application enables users to scan and upload body images and uses deep learning algorithms to derive body data from the uploaded scans. The app then matches the body data to the product information in the webshop to recommend the best size. This allows apparel brands and e-commerce businesses to provide real-time size guidance to their customers or website visitors, thus increasing conversion and enhancing the shopping experience.
Precismo delivers 3D Content
Founding Year: 2017
Location: Rudná, Czech Republic
Industry: Entertainment
Partner with Precismo for Immersive Content Creation
Czech startup Precismo creates 3D content for online gaming applications. The startup’s platform develops digital copies of the real world via 3D scanning technologies, allowing developers to directly generate 3D models instead of designing them from scratch. The resulting models are photo-realistic and are compatible with virtual reality (VR)/augmented reality (AR) and other traditional gaming engines like Unity, Maya, and computer-aided design (CAD) tools. The startup also provides a smart photoshoot solution based on 3D scans of real objects. Precismo enables virtual filmmakers, animators, and advertising agencies to create digital content in a 3D engine and place the virtual models in real environments.
BrainKey generates 3D Brain Reports
Founding Year: 2018
Location: San Francisco, US
Total Funding: USD 200 000
Industries: Healthcare
Partner with Brainkey for Brain Report Visualization
BrainKey is a US-based startup that offers 3D brain scans for medical purposes. The startup provides 3D scanning of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reports and generates models of the brain. The generated model superimposes patient-specific information and allows clinicians to simulate them to better understand the underlying issues. The startup’s platform also allows users to measure and track the volume of each brain structure automatically. Further, BrainKey uses artificial intelligence to generate wellness reports of the brain from the 3D scans to provide actionable recommendations and insights. As a result, the startup enables patients and healthcare professionals to visualize medical reports in a 3D format.
