Software to create 3D video for VR, robotics and film

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build software to capture and create 3D video optimized for VR, robotics, and filmmaking. Our tool fixes motion sickness issues in VR by improving how 3D video is generated and viewed. It's designed for VR content creators, robotics teams needing perception data, and film producers wanting immersive content.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Palo Alto, CA, and partly remote. After YC, the company would be based in Palo Alto.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We're based in Palo Alto for easy access to tech talent and investors. Being close to Silicon Valley helps connect with VR and robotics partners.
