Our Vision

To impart computers with the ability to see to interact with us more naturally and enhance our creativity and productivity.

Our Mission

To be a pioneer and global leader in intelligent vision-based interactive and collaboration technology products and solutions.

Origins

"People aren't trying to use computers- they are trying to get their jobs done."

In the year 2008 while attendingB-School, ourFounder got a chance to observe the struggle of the professors and fellow students trying to control the large screen displays in the classrooms with a keyboard and mouse. The existing solution at the time (Interactive Whiteboards) each costed the school upward of $3000, weighed almost 50kg, suffered from the a lack of touch-optimized software and many other constraints. As a result, the school could procure and install only a few units, and it was quite daunting for everyone to learn and use them effectively.

To solve this problem, he decided to create a better solution based on his previous research work under Prof. AN Venetsanopoulos at the University of Toronto in 2006-07, where they had developed an intelligent computer vision technology that could track human activity and intent in a 3D space using a standard 2D camera.

Inspired by the workings of the human eye, a portable optical sensor unit was conceptualized that could plug into any computer or laptop via USB and can learn about the surface it's pointed towards, map the topographical profile automatically via dual-band vision (Visible and IR) and allow the user to interact with computing display at high-speed by natural touch and gestures thereafter - while costing 1/10th of the existing physical IWB alternatives. In other words, a tiny inexpensive light-sensing device that could convert any surface into a touchscreen with multitouch gesture support — just like a giant smartphone or tablet computer.

This product was developed and launched as EyeRIS (acronym for an Eye-Like Rapid Imaging System) and Cybernetyx® was incorporated in June 2009 to take this technology to the whole world.

Today, Cybernetyx® EyeRIS technology is the most used portable interactive display technology in the world licensed by multiple global leading display and education solution companies like NEC, SONY, ViewSonic, Delta, IL&FS, Tata Interactive, Educomp, and others - reaching over 15 million users worldwide in over 80 countries.

In 2020 as per the latest V4C research, EyeRIS® was ranked India’s No.1 highest-selling Interactive Smart Classroom Product for the entire last decade with net sales of 123K+ classrooms (from 2009-2019) with over 22% market share, ahead of Samsung, Hitachi, SMART technology and others.

Milestones and achievements

Let’s take you through our decade-long journey of innovations in perceptual computing interfaces.

2006-07

Advanced visual intelligence system developed during a research project at the University of Toronto under the guidance of Prof. AN Venetsanopolous.

This project involved using an off-the-shelf CMOS camera to provide computers the ability to see the occupants in 3D space and make intelligent predictions via interpretation of the scene including motion tracking and identification.

2008-09

Most users have to use a mouse and a keyboard to interact with even the large displays, which is both tedious and cumbersome and severely limits the capability of such collaboration-centric computers.

To solve this problem, we apply the research on intelligent cameras and create the world's first optical portable interactive whiteboard system in 2009. This tiny optical sensor can be plugged directly into any PC to track any flat surface and convert it into an effective touchscreen, without all the bulk and expense of traditional IWBs at a fraction of the cost.

2009-10

Cybernetyx is incorporated in 2009 and 2010 respectively in India and Germany, with the technology commercialized as EyeRIS(R) product series as the world's first surface-independent interactive display product.

EyeRIS vision system allows machines to understand human touch and gestures on large surfaces via machine vision intelligence and could deliver a smartphone-like natural computing experience on any flat surface.

In contrast to existing alternatives, EyeRIS devices deliver up to 255 simultaneous touch points, multitouch gestures, and a game-changing latency of under 8ms on any surface making the touch and writing on a screen feel like pen on paper.

2010-11

Cybernetyx signs distribution agreements for EyeRIS product in Germany and India with several channel partners and value added distributors.

Cybernetyx wins a major contract with Edurite (Pearson) to supply 2000 EyeRIS systems for their DigiClass product replacing the physical IWB system.

Cybernetyx inks a deal with NEC India for a joint bundling of the product with NEC projectors.

2012-13

Cybernetyx launches EyeRIS 6090, the world’s first ultra-short focus (t/r 0.16) interactive solution for projection and LCD surfaces powered by machine learning solving the issues of line-of-sight and occlusion in existing optical IWB solutions.

Cybernetyx wins major contracts with SChand Education, MEXUS, TATA Interactive, and Everonn Education to supply EyeRIS products.

NEC Singapore signs a distribution agreement with Cybernetyx for EyeRIS 6090 series.

Noticing the lack of proper software for Multitouch systems, Cybernetyx develops IntelliSpace, one of the first NUI-based and cloud-connected IWB suite for Classrooms. This was a major game-changer for the EyeRIS series and transformed the entire Smart classroom experience for the users.

2013-14
