Occipital

Products

Main product of Occipital company on the middle of 2015 is the product Structure Sensor which is established on Apple iPad tablets. The sensor allows significantly more simply and cheaper, than earlier, to create three-dimensional models of surrounding space and also to model a form and an appearance of real objects.

First generation of a product worth 379 US dollars was shown in 2013 and attracted 1.3 million dollars from 3.5 thousand sponsors during extremely successful campaign on the Kickstarter portal. Later the company provided a set of development tools which simplified creating applications, using possibilities of the sensor.

On the middle of 2015 the equipment and the Occipital platform are used in medicine, architecture and design, the industry 3D there are printings and in the field of creation of visual effects and computer graphics. In particular, developments of Occipital use for creation of 3D models of premises, interiors and pieces of furniture. The sensor allows to scan objects for the subsequent printing on the 3D-printer. Also the product is applied to scanning of a body — for example to visualize results of plastic surgery.

Among the main partners of Occipital in 2015 there is a 3D Systems company, the leading world solution provider in the 3D area - printing, and the studio of ILM which is a part of Lucasfilm (The Walt Disney Company).

2015: Investments from Grishin Robotics and Intel Capital

On July 29, 2015 Grishin Robotics announced investment into Occipital. For this moment the general size of a round (series B) was 13 million dollars. Among co-investors of Grishin Robotics there are Intel Capital, venture division of Intel corporation, Shea Ventures and Foundry Group funds.

"On behalf of the Occipital command and co-investors I am glad to find adherents who, as well as I, believe that the technology break in the field of computer vision will offer absolutely new prospects for development of personal robotics. The technologies and products developed by Occipital company bring closer us by the time of when numerous devices around us learn to understand better surrounding space and to interact with it. It in a root will change life of each of us" — Dmitry Grishin, the co-founder and the CEO of Mail.Ru Group, the founder of Grishin Robotics told.

New financing will allow Occipital to continue improvement of the platform and to broaden spheres of its application, including further adaptation of a product for use in the systems of the virtual and changed reality.
