CatchEye's vision is to make video calls as engaging and as similar as possible to a physical meeting, increasing the feeling of trust and mutual presence between participants.Their video chat add-on can correct common issues in video calls such as missing eye contact, unfavorable lighting or a distracting background. 

VIZIR develops a smart visor that, combined with a thermal imaging camera, will help firefighters see what’s around them in real time, even at night and in smoke. The startup combines thermal vision and augmented reality to give firefighters a clear vision in dark and smoky environments.
