Echo3D - scalable AR/VR

Echo3D, promises an easy and efficient way to scale 3D, augmented reality (AR), and virtual reality (VR) projects. AR and VR devices are becoming more popular and user-friendly. However, these hardware improvements highlight the tremendous challenge the industry still faces: providing backend infrastructure to support the 3D, AR, and VR applications running on devices, reducing file sizes and development times, and improving usability for developers and users alike. That’s where echo3D and its cloud platform can make a change.

By storing and streaming 3D, AR, and VR content in a cloud platform, echo3D makes it simple for developers and content creators to build, manage and deploy 3D applications and content, providing them with a flexible cloud infrastructure, intuitive content management system, fast content delivery network, and other tools. The platform allows developers to convert, compress, and optimize 3D models, animations, and interactive content, and stream it directly to multiple devices in real-time.

At a time when advancements in 3D have helped AR, VR, and gaming to become billion-dollar industries, and concepts like ‘the Metaverse’ to become a reality, echo3D is among the first to provide the backend infrastructure needed to bring these things to fruition. While gaming and entertainment are two of the major industries behind these two technologies, especially VR, echo3D is ready for other industries too, allowing developers to build apps for Healthcare, Home Design, Art, Training, Navigation, and much more. The platform is compatible with any 3D/AR/VR client-side SDK, such as ARCore, ARKit, Vuforia, WebXR, AR.js, Oculus SDK, Microsoft HoloLens, Magic Leap, and more.

Before the pandemic echo3D only had 300 registered users. Now it has recently reached the 11,000 mark. That’s where the company's focus is right now, to reach more and more developers and content creators interested in creating 3D/AR/VR experiences.

Alon Grinshpoon and Koren Grinshpoon are the founders of echo3D. They have raised a total of $10.5M in funding.
