The world becomes a 3D model!

Nomoko AG from Zurich wins the 2016 Pioneer Award, which recognizes technological innovations that are about to enter the market thanks to entrepreneurial pioneering work. The winning project impresses with a novel digital camera with a hundred times the resolution of an iPhone and specialized software. The software converts the camera's 2D images into digital 3D models that are virtually indistinguishable from reality - so-called "lifelike 3D".

NIlson Kufus (Nomoko AG) defines 3D models with his partners

By the time of market entry, the Nomoko camera should exceed the 1000 megapixel mark and the camera itself should become more compact. In order to be the global market leader in the creation of ultra-realistic "lifelike 3D" data in five years, the 3D software is to become intelligent - 3D object recognition is the keyword here.

Nomoko was founded by Nilson Kufus, Kevin Mersch and Vincent Pedrini with the vision of one day capturing the entire world as a digital 3D model as realistically as possible. The company offers an all-round service: it captures the data, takes care of the post-processing and finally delivers the data to the customer in the desired format. The end product is therefore not the camera but the "lifelike 3D" data.

The big difference to the competition lies in the technology. The images of the Nomoko camera have a resolution of 1000 megapixels and contain on average 50 times more information. Together with the Nomoko 3D software, the resulting 3D data are even up to 70 times better than the competitors. Such a quality of 3D data could previously only be achieved by means of manual processing.

3D data - building blocks of the future

3D data are important building blocks of the future and can be used in many ways. Nomoko's future customers will therefore come from a wide variety of industries: Architects can use the data for urban planning tasks, the automotive industry for the development of self-driving cars and the entertainment industry for movies or computer games.

The decisive factor for the foundation of Nomoko was the need to hire the first employees and to inspire investors. The market entry is planned for 2017. By then, the Nomoko camera should exceed the 1000 megapixel mark and the camera itself should become more compact. In order to be the global market leader in the creation of ultra-realistic "lifelike 3D" data in five years, the 3D software is to become intelligent - 3D object recognition is the keyword here.

Nomoko AG offers an all-round service: it records the data, takes care of the post-processing and finally delivers the data to the customer in the desired format. The end product is therefore not the camera but the "lifelike 3D" data. The prize was presented in front of 430 guests by Gian-Luca Bona, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Technopark Zurich, and Jörg Müller-Ganz, Chairman of the Bank Council of ZKB.
