ZeroLight technology receives global critical acclaim following hands-on demonstration with Audi AG at Consumer Electronics Show, Las Vegas
25thJanuary 2016 - Gateshead, UK – ZeroLight, the creator of the world’s most advanced digital 3D car configurator, will be attending Vision Summit, the leading virtual and augmented reality cross industry event for technology developers, in Hollywood, California, February 10-11. The visualisation expert, which has recently returned from widespread media acclaim at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2016 in Las Vegas, has also been named by one of Europe’s leading technology investment banks, GP Bullhound, as a company that displays the potential to become a $1bn business.
“We were delighted to be invited to CES as Audi AG’s strategic partner to help showcase its VR Experience, which utilises ZeroLight’s digital experience platform. It was fantastic to receive so many positive reviews from within the automotive, technology and retail industries,” says ZeroLight CEO, Darren Jobling. “Vision Summit is an opportunity to further demonstrate to those in the virtual reality field the potential reach of our visualisation solutions. We are excited by the impact ZeroLight has already made on the automotive industry. Recognition in the Top Technology Predictions 2016 report by GP Bullhound is an endorsement of both our technological capability and business potential.”
This is the second acknowledgement from GP Bullhound, naming ZeroLight as a “Company to Watch”, bringing innovation to the Automotive Industry, in their 2016 Technology Predictions Report. It comes alongside recognition this year from The Financial Times, with a nomination in the ArcelorMittal Boldness in Business Awards and winning the Most Engaging Product Tour in Fame Foundry’s 15 for 2015: Best of the Web.
Last year ZeroLight achieved Rising Star status in the Northern Tech Awards, identification as one of the UK’s Most Exciting Technology Companies (Pathfinder 20) and acknowledgement as one of the UK’s Top 50 Most Innovative Businesses. Startups ranked the visualisation specialists in its Top 100, recognising it as one of the top two Technology Companies of the Year.
ZeroLight has already achieved an international roll-out of its technology through its partnership with Audi AG, while building a bespoke real-time 3D car configurator for prestigious Italian supercar manufacturer, Pagani.
Vision Summit 2016 in Hollywood, California, is a unique event for technology industry experts, researchers and media. It runs seminars, key-note speaker sessions, awards and exhibitions with the aim of driving the development and commercialisation of virtual and augmented reality technologies. ZeroLight will demonstrate the potential of its 3D real-time configurator to revolutionise automotive retail, validating the technology’s use as a medium in commercial industries.
