phy replacement, a 360 video distribution platform and other services. What makes you different from others? Paracosma Inc. is a US-based company with headquarters in San Francisco, and wholly-owned subsidiary companies in Japan and Nepal with a technical and sales office in Tokyo and development center in Kathmandu. With over 75 employees, including 45 artists and 30 engineers and developers, our scope and scale allow us to provide expertise in more areas than smaller competitors. While our offshore development center allows us to provide very high-quality services and best-in-class rates.
We at Business Connect are fortunate to have with us, Ken Ehrhart, Founder & CEO, Paracosma Inc. In a conversation with him, we have covered some indispensable intricacies of Paracosma and its significant contribution to the AR/VR domain. Please walk us through your company profile and its services. Paracosma is an Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR/ VR) Service Provider. Its services include 3D content creation, 360 videos, application development, and project implementation across a broad range of AR & VR platforms. Additionally, Paracosma creates its own content in the gaming, entertainment, tourism, enterprise and education/training spaces. Paracosma also has proprietary technology for producing, viewing, managing and distributing 360-degree photo and video content.
How do you ensure the unbreakable faith of clients in your company? In many cases, we are providing services for companies that are not broadly available because of the fast pace of AR and VR innovations. Thus, we are usually engaged in long-term partnerships where we are working together with the client to envision what is possible to meet their requirements. We are honest about the current limitations and future potential of AR and VR to develop the most advanced solutions that are realistically possible. This type of open collaboration engenders confidence in our ability to deliver on results that exceed expectations.
What kind of clients do you serve, any special mentions? We primarily serve larger enterprise clients who are embracing the potential of AR & VR.
How do you keep pace with the changing market trends? Because of our large team of experts with experience across a broad range of AR, VR and 3D platforms, we are able to keep abreast of the latest innovations in the field.
For AARP, the 38 million-member US non-profit serving aging consumers, we have been producing brain fitness games for their Alcove VR application for Oculus Go and also a version of Alcove for the Magic Leap AR glasses. The applications were recently demoed at the 2020 CES show in Las Vegas.
Because of our low costs we are able to experiment with new technologies before they can deliver ROI (return on investment) as part of current commercial projects. Thus, when the technology matures, we already have an understanding of its unique strengths and benefits.
We also recently announced a partnership with UrsaLeo, an IoT (Internet of Things) company. We are producing realistic 3D digital twins of UrsaLeos’ clients’ facilities to enable them to visualize real-time sensor data on a clear representation of the actual space.
What’s the newer or newest technology that your Company uses? We are focused on developing delivery platforms and processes to turn previously difficult and expensive custom solutions into low-cost, easily deployable high-quality turn-key products. This lowers the barrier to entry for clients seeking to integrate AR and VR into their current business processes.
We are also providing VR Training for Oil & Gas and Medical applications; AR for manufacturing machine maintenance, holographic videos for management training, and photo-realistic 3D models for photograwww.businessconnectindia.in | Vol. 2 | Issue. 11 June 2020 INDIA
