Mimesys

Mimesys develops Avatar Chat service for carrying out video conferences in augmented reality. The technology which the Belgian company for the first time showed at the CES 2019 exhibition in January provides broadcasting 3D - copies of the user during video conference. The service allows people to communicate with each other in one room through the holographic projections and also to interact with other objects in "video call" in real time and to work jointly on projects.

Magic Leap purchased the developer of video conferences in augmented reality

Concepts of interaction which were represented in science fiction for the last 30 years become technically feasible now — the CEO of Mimesys Remi Rousseau says. — We had an opportunity to work with three-dimensional Magic Leap technologies at an early stage. We were impressed with their developments and are complete of determination to seize the opportunities of joint presence of people on the platform.

According to the TechCrunch edition, broadcast of three-dimensional video content can be very unstable. Mimesys develops the solution which uses 3D - the cameras Intel RealSense for record and transfer of material on the local computer with the subsequent broadcasting on the wearable headset of the user. The first versions of technology allow to output not absolutely sharp image. But, most likely, it does not confuse with Magic Leap, and the company can own 3D - the camera for corporate users, using the ideas of the Belgian startup.^[1]
