What VizeraLabs does

Vizera was an augmented reality company that used projectors with depth sensors to project an AR layer onto real world objects, rather than using screens/smart glasses. Our first application was in retail where we partnered with top furniture retailers to display their selection of different fabrics/patterns by using our projectors in their smaller showrooms to improve their in store revenue. Our demo is still live on YouTube:

Augmented reality through projectors

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

We built a system that uses projectors combined with depth sensors to overlay augmented reality directly onto physical objects instead of screens or glasses. Our first product targets furniture retail showrooms, letting customers see different fabrics and patterns projected onto furniture pieces in the store to help make buying decisions.

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

We live and work in Sunnyvale, CA, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We picked Sunnyvale because it's our home, close to hardware and retail partners, and in the heart of where we can recruit and connect with other tech and retail companies.
