Apple may now be worth $2 trillion, but one thing that doesn’t seem to replace more likely is the tech giant’s penchant for secretly capturing promising new young companies with niche technologies that it greeds.
In this note, The Israeli newspaper Calcalist reports that Apple bought and then shut down Camerai, an Israeli-based photography company that had developed valuable augmented truth (AR) technology and computer vision.
Apple has spent tens of millions of dollars to take over the small startup, the deal came true 18 months ago, according to Calcalist, which presents its story as exclusive.
Since then, Apple has incorporated Camerai’s generation into Apple’s cameras, to expand its “enhanced real generation and video capabilities,” the newspaper reports.
Since then, the Camerai team has been incorporated into Apple’s PC vision unit, according to the paper.
Camerai made his debut in 2014 in Tel Aviv, with thirteen members working on the progression of photographic technology, adding “advanced in-depth learning and computer vision capabilities,” the report says.
However, according to Apple’s well-known penchant for secrecy, the company’s founders have kept quiet on the radio about the deal and the fact that they now paint for Apple, according to Calcalist.
Such agreements are not with Apple, CEO Tim Cook reportedly revealed in 2019 that the company had acquired 25 corporations that year alone, but, for some reason, had not disclosed the maximum transactions.
A hot spot in the generation industry, Israel, in turn, has a major focus on Apple’s procurement business, according to Calcalist. The generation giant has recently operated a center of progression in the country, with 1,500 workers and offices in Herzliya and Haifa.
An online news site that also followed the story provides a more detailed explanation of the generation that evolved through Camerai and caught Apple’s attention.
Camerai has developed “a variety of software-based RA teams to help edit and use camera-created symbols in a more complicated way,” TechCrunch reported, adding “the ability to stumble upon other elements of the symbol and, as should be described, to adjust them cosmetically.” Array»
