These apps are built for the end-user and have powerful optimization algorithms inside. As a result, the user can quickly and easily control the robot even in the case of frequent changes in production.

Joseph Joseph

Crunchbase | Website | Twitter | Facebook | Linkedin

Twin brothers Antony and Richard Joseph grew up in a family with a long history of industrial glass manufacturing and engineering. The family business, started by their grandfather in 1936, originally produced everything from vehicle wing mirrors to fridge shelves.

But eventually it diversified into making decorative glass chopping boards, illustrated with rustic scenes. When tastes changed and demand began to wane it was clear a fresh approach was needed.

Having both trained in product design, the brothers were now embarking on their early careers – Antony as a freelance product designer and Richard studying for a master’s degree in design and manufacturing at Cambridge. When their father asked them to look at reinventing the glass chopping board range, they jumped at the chance.

After early success with their creative, colourful designs, their entrepreneurial spirit kicked in and in 2003 they decided to go it alone – and with that the Joseph Joseph brand was born. Their big leap forward though came from a simple observation – many everyday objects can actually create problems for the user through poor design.

In addition, many tasks around the home could be made much easier and more enjoyable with a little intelligent thinking. From this light-bulb moment Antony and Richard knew they’d found a way to differentiate Joseph Joseph from other brands.

And it set them on a path that was to create some truly iconic kitchenware. There’s something special about a Joseph Joseph product that sets it apart from the competition.

Virtual Arts Ltd.

Crunchbase | Website | Twitter | Facebook | Linkedin

Our Vision Founded in 2016 with VR, AR and MR in mind, our vision is a world where everyone has easy access to high quality immersive content. We see VR headsets, AR and MR devices becoming readily available in public places.

Imagine cardboard headsets in your local shops and communities as readily available and as easily recyclable as coffee cups. Challenges of VR, AR and MR For the masses to adopt VR, AR & MR into their daily lives there needs to be the pull of great and diverse content.

Unfortunately, VR/AR/MR experiences are very hard to get right – especially for mobile. There are lots of technical challenges to achieve visually stunning and smooth performance as well as a natural interaction within a limited power budget.

Our Content & Technology We are developing a strong portfolio of VR, AR & MR content covering a wide range of interactive entertainment. Entertainment such as games, interactive experiences and animated pieces.

To enable the most beautiful visuals we are also working on our own technology built from scratch to meet the requirements and challenges of VR/AR/MR development. Our technology will be scalable from mobile to PC including consoles in between.

This technology will enable stunning content beginning with entry level smartphones, being used with Google Cardboard. All the way up to high end PCs, powering HTC Vive and Oculus Rift platforms.

Founded in 2004, CuteCircuit is the world’s first wearable-technology fashion brand. CuteCircuit interweaves leading edge fashion design with emerging technologies and smart fabrics to create fashions that not only look beautiful, but carry within them magical capabilities and interactive connections which create a new paradigm for both innovation and sustainable fashion production.

CuteCircuit’s co-founders, Francesca Rosella and Ryan Genz, have a background in fashion design (Valentino), and interaction design and anthropology respectively and hold a number of patents in the field of wearable technology such as 3D Augmented Reality Audio and sensor enhanced fabric constructions. CuteCircuit introduced internet connected clothing and touch (haptic) telecommunication with products such as the Hug Shirt in 2002 (awarded by Time magazine as one of the Best Inventions of the Year in 2006).

The Galaxy Dress introduced in 2008 (part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago) remains today the world’s largest wearable luminous display and it is a truly magical and mesmerising garment. Social media connected clothing such as the world’s first haute couture Twitter Dress was introduced in 2012.

CuteCircuit also became the first fashion label to put wearable technology on the red carpet when Katy Perry wore a CuteCircuit gown to the Met Gala in 2010, and the same year CuteCircuit introduced the first line of technologically advanced ready-to-wear at Selfridges in London. The Graphene Dress, the world’s first dress made using graphene was created in 2017.

The fashion collections presented on-schedule at New York Fashion week introduced luxury ready-to-wear fashions and accessories that can be controlled via a smartphone app to allow the wearer to change the colour and functionality of their garments at the touch of a button. CuteCircuit also recently collaborated with Chanel and Converse.

Many garments from the CuteCircuit collections are on display and in collections of museums all over the world, such as the Barbican Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, Museum at FIT, etc. Currently at Cooper Hewitt the Smithsonian Design Museum in New York is the SoundShirt, a garment that allows deaf audience members to feel the music during a concert through touch sensations, on display in the Access+Ability exhibition.
