Tech that came out over 40 years ago is still being used. We are still randomly smashing keys on a keyboard. ZeroKey is set to find a better way, which is where our name comes from – zero keys. Imagine that a computer knew in 3D and real-time what your precise location was, the contact between human and machine becomes natural. We now have this capability to provide intelligent AR/VR solutions to make that relationship between human and machine- flawless. It’s different to see, but Alberta is surprisingly strong when it comes to AR/VR technology. As it turns out, the challenges that AR and VR are great at solving are also familiar in the energy sector. Several companies have built great industrial solutions that are now being applied to augmented and virtual reality collectively. In Calgary, Alberta, we have a powerful academic community in the field of geomatics. Without industry leaders like NovaTel for example, ZeroKey would not exist today. Our Virtual Reality glove began as a proof-of-concept to show off our positioning system. It provides a natural way of interacting in a digital setting. This leads to large number of applications that cover almost every side of computing. Mainstream consumers in the AR/VR markets are obligated to choose between inexpensive solutions for a lesser experience or spend decent amount of money for a higher end system. We are working on bringing down the cost of AR/VR ownership by deploying our 6-Degrees-of-Freedom tracking technology in low-cost headsets. The collaboration of this technology will bring affordable, high-quality AR/VR to mainstream markets at just a fraction of the cost.
