Company Description | BeBop uses smart fabrics to create elegant sensor solutions for OEMs. Where things or people interact, BeBop sensors comprehend force, location, size, weight, shape, motion and presence across any size, resolution, and geometry. BeBop technology is robust and proven with over a million sensors in daily use. BeBop Sensors make things knowable for product designers and visionaries. BeBop uses a proprietary Monolithic Fabric Sensor Technology that integrates all of the sensors, traces, and electronics into a single piece of fabric. This approach affords greater sensitivity, resolution, range of deployment and fantastic Robustness with diminutive size. Different than other Wearables that measure physiology (EKG, EMG), BeBop measures physicality. BeBop technology senses and displays 3D maps of pressure, bend, location, rotation, angle, and torsion. | VividWorks offers a unique 3D visual sales solution for omnichannel commerce that is designed to help our clients take advantage of the business opportunities that the disruptive technological changes to retail and commerce bring. VividWorks upends the purchase process, enabling “virtual trying before buying” and customization helping buyers to configure and visualize products in real-world environments, in life-like 3D, providing customers with an unparalleled buying experience. VividWorks was founded 2006 in Oulu, Finland, due to a growing customer potential seen in the furniture industry. Our founders had solid backgrounds working with web-based 3D visualization tools and with further developing launched our 3D visualization and sales management tool VividPlatformTM for the furniture industry that same year. Since then our focus has been to provide innovative visual sales solutions while expanding to multiple market segments. Today our solutions are sold to manufacturers and retailers all over the world to digitalize their sales processes. We resolve to make sales processes easier by helping buyers to configure and visualize products in real-world environments, in life-like 3D, providing customers with an unparalleled buying experience with digital continuity and seamless experiences through immersive visual interaction with products and spaces. | DigiLens is a Silicon Valley-based startup revolutionizing AR displays through innovative waveguide optics and proprietary materials. The company licenses optical nano-materials and holographic printing tools to leading manufacturers of wave-guide optics. DigiLens’ mission is to be one of the world’s leading waveguide display technology providers. With the most creative, innovative and profitable products, our customers can merge the digital and real world imagery that augments their customers’ realities. | Vision Lab Apps is a software house specialized in developing enterprise software solutions for AR, Machine Learning solutions and wearable technologies. Our mission is to support and empower industrial operators through significantly improving their productivity and security. Our vision is to be a central force in driving the Industry 4.0 revolution.
The company has developed ERA - its Augmented Reality software platform for the industrial workforce. ERA has been tested and validated through several pilots. It is currently in use within clients’ facilities that successfully tested it and acknowledged the benefits of adopting ERA. In particular, the areas chosen to deploy ERA are remote technical assistance and maintenance, training and after-sales services.
The company is entering the scale-up phase after successfully testing the adoption of ERA and validating its business model. Therefore, the next step is to enter international markets. | ELSE Corp is an Italian startup that offers technological solutions for 3D based Mass Customization such as Virtual Retail and Cloud Manufacturing to fashion brands, retailers, manufacturers and designers; using E.L.S.E., a Cloud API Platform, powered with AI, Machine Learning and deep learning, puts together the front-end retail processes such as 3D product personalization and virtual commerce, with a cloud-based back-end processes like virtual fitting and order generation for smart hybrid manufacturing. The startup is committed to creating value not only for the market but also for society by redefining the Value Chain for the fashion industry through Applied Research. ELSE CORP relies in open innovation and collaboration with industry leaders to develop innovative sustainable, transparent and traceable business processes and Distribution Models through market trials. Their services, named “Virtual Retail”, aims to accelerate the transformation of the industry towards a personalized, direct to consumer, customer-pull approach, enhancing the customer’s virtual shopping experience and optimizing the Virtual Retail value and service delivery chain. |

PINCH, GRAB AND INTERACT WITH THE VIRTUAL WORLD WITH YOUR HANDS | The followings are their products on IoT solutions: MonoHUD is to minimize the risk of getting into a serious accident from motorcyclists by having distraction-free information via a monocular display. The revolutionary personal HUD design combines a full colour, two-layer waveguide with a tiny, super bright image generator which can be permanently fitted into a helmet. Crystal is smart eye wear which companion to smart phone. It is able to merge physical and digital content and proven enterprise applications like service and logistics, process and or manufacturing engineering.
AutoHUD has double Field of View then the convention HUD for automobiles and reducing the component volume to one-sixth of the traditional size, paving the way for AR applications in all of the automotive industry.
AeroHUD is FAA Certified, not only can pilots see telemetric data like compass, Altimeter and speed, but also full 3D graphics of terrain, helping them clearly see approaching hills and the exact location of the runway—all whilst in white-out fog.It makes the pilot, especially those in small aircrafts or executive jets, more confident because they have a clear understanding of their status overlaying their clear forward view.
