Solution
The IrisVision app was developed for the Samsung GearVR and required innovative customization beyond the standard API provided. We worked in close collaboration with medical giants like Johns Hopkins, UC Berkeley, and Stanford University and leveraged their powerful insights into this stunning app. The result was an extraordinary system that allows users to zoom in on far away objects or family members’ faces with IrisVision’s proprietary IrisBubbleTM view, which allows users to see objects up close without losing context of the overall scene.
