7 NEWSFEED Updates & upgrades
VR tech company Jaunt has acquired Teleporter from augmented and virtual reality company Personify. Teleprompter is a volumetric streaming software system that captures, processes and streams augmented reality assets in real time. Jaunt has been working on its own volumetric research for its Jaunt XR Platform, a b2b service for distributing augmented, virtual and mixed reality assets. It’s hoped the Teleprompter acquisition will accelerate Jaunt’s ability to stream lifelike augmented reality experiences in real time. The team at Jaunt are very much looking forward to the new input. JAUNT TELEPORTER LiveU has released a new HEVC- enabled field unit. The new LU300 HEVC field unit marks the last of its broadcast- grade units to be transitioned to HEVC- capable. The unit is aimed at customers requiring the mobility of a smaller unit. The LU300 joins the LU600 high- end backpack and LU610 rackmount 1U encoder in LiveU’s hardware-based HEVC line-up. The unit weighs just over 900 grams and is available in a pouch or camera-mount configuration. The LU300 bonds up to six connections – two LTE Advanced internal modems, two external modems, WiFi and LAN – and includes a three-hour internal battery. The LU300 can also serve as a standalone video encoder or be used as a LiveU DataBridge mobile hotspot for general connectivity in the field. The LU300 offers enlarged display, improved resolution and a new JOG controller, as well as a stronger CPU for faster file upload. The unit can be locally or remotely managed, using LiveU Central, the LIVEU GOES ALL IN FOR HEVC
“The addition of Personify’s Teleporter team and technology allows us to increase the speed and scope of our research and development as we move further into the extended reality arena with the Jaunt XR Platform at the core of
our business,” said Arthur van Hoff, Jaunt CTO and Founder. Simon Venshtain, Personify CTO, will become Director of Research, reporting to van Hoff and leading the new Chicago-based team.
