Manchester-based start-up DigitalBridge has been named one of the UK鈥檚 brightest young聽tech firms in the most recent Technation report.
The mixed reality company uses computer vision and machine learning to allow customers to virtually transform a room in their home by replacing the furniture, or changing the walls and floor coverings.
It was recognised as just one of two 鈥榥otable start-ups鈥� for the Manchester area in the major report on the state of the UK鈥檚 technology sector.
The year so far has been a successful one for the business鈥櫬燼ugmented reality platform.
Earlier this summer it fought off competition from around the world 鈥� including the famed Silicon Valley 鈥� to win NVIDIA鈥橲 retail inception scheme.
CEO David Levine said: 鈥淏eing named one of just two notable start-ups in Manchester is a significant achievement for a young company, especially considering the rise in the city鈥檚 technology sector, the talent that is coming here and the investment following it.
鈥淎pple鈥檚 ARKit, Google鈥檚 Tango and Microsoft鈥檚 HoloLens have done a good job drawing the public鈥檚 attention to augmented reality in recent weeks while our commercially focussed platform is showing retailers and brands the business benefits this technology brings in terms of increasing engagement and boosting their bottom-line.鈥�
DigitalBridge is also moving closer to launching its room visualisation tool with a number of major retailers in the UK, following a number of successful instore trials.
The most recent success follows a successful investment period for the young company after it secured 拢350,000 from innovation investment specialist L Marks and 拢100,000 from John Lewis after taking part in the retail giant鈥檚 JLAB accelerator programme.
