According to Mymes Consulting, as the world ’s leading mobile 3D sensing developer, Mantis Vision, headquartered in Petah Tikva (Israel, Pek Tikva), can provide advanced 3D scene capture and sharing technologies. Announces the completion of the acquisition of Alces Technology (hereinafter referred to as Alces). Alces is a startup focused on depth sensing technology. Although the details of the acquisition were not disclosed, according to sources, the acquisition amounted to approximately $ 10 million. In early July, Mantis Vision received another $ 55 million in funding, and to date, the company has raised $ 84 million in funding.
Alces, headquartered in Utah, USA, is a startup specializing in depth sensing and has patented its high-resolution structured light depth capture technology.
Mantis Vision has industry-leading 3D scene capture and sharing technology for smartphone 3D cameras, AR / VR (augmented and virtual reality) equipment, professional 3D scanners and 3D stereo studios. The company is headquartered in Israel and has offices in the United States, China and Slovakia.
Mantis Vision's patented structured light coding technology has significant advantages such as high accuracy, resolution, low noise, and high restoration of motion artifacts. Therefore, Mantis Vision can provide users with high-quality 3D sensing equipment and scene experiences, and is widely favored by the market due to its high cost performance. The acquisition will help Mantis Vision expand its technological advantages into new areas. Recently, Mantis Vision's 3D structured light coding technology was applied to the Xiaomi Mi 8 transparent exploration version, and its 3D face recognition point cloud density is amazing.
Gur Arie Bitan, founder and CEO of Mantis Vision, said in an interview with the Global Times that Alces employees will join Mantis Vision's US operations. "The acquisition of Alces marks the beginning of Mantis Vision's global expansion as a way to accelerate our go-to-market strategy, expand our technology portfolio, and attract talent," Bitan said.
Mantis Vision is unique in driving the development of the 3D sensing industry with its many patents in hardware, software, system integration, and scene creation. Alces’ component-level expertise and new technologies will also complement Mantis Vision ’s deep data capture Program."
He added: "From the perspective of remote monitoring, security, scene creation, mobile devices and 3D scanning, Mantis Vision is leading the innovation of 3D data acquisition and sharing technology. Alces is a great company and we look forward to bringing their Introducing innovative technologies to the market. Alces will be renamed Mantis Vision to serve as our US R & D center and business development base. "
Rob Christensen, CEO of Alces, said: "It is a pleasure to join the Mantis Vision family and hope to contribute to the next generation of depth sensing solutions through our high resolution technology. Leverage our advanced hardware and optical technology to work with Mantis Vision The combination of algorithms and application expertise brings new depth sensing products to the public. "
