Copresence, a Zurich, Switzerland-based provider of digital avatar generation software designed to improve digital communication, emerged from stealth with $2.75m in funding raised to date.
The backers were not disclosed.
Led by Radek Mackowiak, CEO, Copresence announced the closed beta launch of its platform and app designed to create a digital likeness in minutes, for use across gaming, virtual/augmented reality (VR/AR), and video conferencing. The solution allows for the creation of a photorealistic 3D model or “digital twin” of a user’s face by utilizing AI-powered scanning technology that is compatible with any smartphone. This digital twin can then be used on any platform, including PC, smartphone, or VR headsets. For gaming, this will allow developers to build experiences where users can play as virtual versions of themselves on any game engine, including Unity and Unreal Engine.
With the newly unveiled closed beta, copresence will now look to gather feedback before the open beta later this year, and eventual full release of its platform in the future, which will include an API release as well as a smartphone app. The company is planning to launch the open beta version of its avatar generation solution in Q3 2023.
