Company 1: is AR for TV. They bring together linear TV programs and the second screen on your smartphone. Simply hold your recent smartphone in front of a TV and enjoy a whole new, immersive, experience with Augmented Reality TV content. Content can be the latest sports scores, shopping information or even interactive games. We will be demonstrating why “AR on TV” is considered to be a fundamental part of the multibillion dollar AR adoption. Our first US TV broadcast partner is launching by Fall 2018.

Company 2: uses Augmented Reality and AI to gamify healthy eating. Their mobile game involves finding, feeding and sharing hungry digital characters. They are what you eat, so scan your plate after meals for a beastly treat.

Company 3: is using Augmented Reality to create a software platform that brings together all the fragmented components that are currently happening in the operating room to help surgeons do their jobs better, minimize complications, and save lives.

The company's “virtual presence” experience is delivered at the highest possible resolution leveraging a unique ability to reduce bandwidth requirements.Their uniqueness is based on their service and tech platform, which is, content aware, network aware and user aware.
