Dual Aperture International said the strategic partnership with SK Telecom is an effort to accelerate development of DAI’s 3D camera technology based on dual aperture four-color (RGB-IR) sensors.
SKT will develop applications and additional use cases for DAI’s 3D image capture, virtual reality and image enhancement technologies.
“SKT is a global technology leader with the size and expertise to accelerate DAI’s product implementation into global industries spanning mobile, medical, security and automotives,” said Professor Chong-Min Kyung, CTO of DAI, in a statement.
DAI’s camera technology allows single-sensor cameras to obtain 3D image information and provides multiple functions enabled by its four-color image sensor and proprietary depth estimation algorithm.
SK Telecom established the Creative Economy & Innovation Center in Daejeon, Korea in 2014 – where DAI is based – which is fostering a startup ecosystem based on the technologies and patents from the Daeduck Science Park. DAI will also collaborate with Daejeon Creative Economy Innovation Center of the Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning, in actively looking for technologies and patents to foster globally competitive startups.
