Aguru Images Inc (100% holding)
(formerly Kaloptics Inc)

- $multi billion market application

- Addresses a key limitation in the realism of special effects, animation and computer gaming

Overview

Aguru Images was founded by ANGLE in 2006 to commercialise an innovative hardware and software system that enables the rapid capture and recreation of photo-realistic textured surface images. This patent-pending solution provides a significant advancement over previous technologies in the speed and accuracy of data acquisition, which allows for greater productivity while reducing cost.

Background

Aguru Images technology originates from from Dr Ken Perlin and Jeff Han of New York University’s Media Research Lab. Perlin is a professor in the Department of Computer Science at New York University, the founding director of its Media Research Lab (MRL), a prolific inventor, and the winner of an Academy Award for Technical Achievement for motion picture visual effects. Han is a long time researcher and prolific inventor who works closely with Perlin at the MRL.

Market Opportunity

The technology has a wide range of commercial applications in multi billion dollar industries, including film special effects, animation, computer gaming, 3D design, eCommerce and medical devices.  The current approaches to producing photo realistic images onscreen have not changed in many years, and are cumbersome and time consuming. Kaloptics’ solution is expected to dramatically improve the realism and accuracy of images.

Progress

Company efforts are focused on business planning and product strategy together with putting the building blocks in place for commercial launch later this year. Initial customer feedback has been very positive and customers are already requesting to use the product.
