The EPFL spin-off develops solutions for Virtual and Mixed Reality content creation and entertainment. The Imverse engine can transform a single 360°/2D image into a fully editable 3D environment in an easy and fast process. Additionally, the engine provides a solution for live capture and real-time playback of human holograms. This reduces time and money spent on 3D workflows of volumetric VR experiences, location-based entertainment and film productions.
In this financing round Imverse won support from several Swiss business angel clubs, a Swiss venture capital firm, private investors and a syndicate of experienced business insiders from the US. The startup will use the funds to expand its engineering, sales and business development team and create VR content for marketing purposes. Further, Imverse will open an office in Los Angeles to be closer to its Hollywood customers, partners and investors.
Imverse passed Venture Kick stage 1 in 2017 and got featured in this years TOP 100 Swiss Startup Award on rank 14.
