We believe that visual technologies will continue to be the crux of advancements in materials science, across nanomaterials and metamaterials, resulting in the transformation of various industrial, medical and consumer applications. Embedded AI will enable materials to reconfigure themselves autonomously in response to their environment. As sensing abilities and algorithms improve, the full potential of navigating the compositional and configurational possibilities of materials will catalyze widespread transformation for optics, biomarker diagnostics, robotics, 3D printing and more.
In the lead-up to our 9th Annual LDV Vision Summit – the premier global gathering in visual tech (hosted virtually on March 28), we interviewed some of our past & future speakers. Meet Luc Vincent of Meta, Steffen Tjerrild of Synthesia, Kristen Fortney of BioAge, Clément Farabet, Camilo Fosco of Memorable, Alexandra Boussommier of ImVitro, Michael Geer of Humanity, Henrik Haugbølle of Uizard, Mariano Battan of Mural, Alexandre Winter of Norbert Health, Andrew Rabinovich of Headroom, Karin Andrea Stephan of Earkick, Adam Paulisick of maad labs, and Rebecca Paoletti of CakeWorks.
Peter Stern, CEO of Voyant Photonics, wrote about…basically, the future of everything. See what happens when chip-scale machine perception sensors become affordable enough.
Evan Nisselson interviewed Samir Kumar, Managing Director of M12 – Microsoft's Venture Fund. Samir is leading investment activities in emerging tech areas including quantum computing and autonomous vehicles. Before joining M12, Samir worked in Qualcomm’s corporate R&D division, leading early-stage product validation, partnerships, acquisition, and strategy for embedded and on-device deep learning.
