Kepler is building MEDI, a next-generation display and interface platform for an AI-native world. By combining environmental sensing with proprietary light-modulation algorithms, MEDI enables digital information to exist in physical space with perceptually natural optical behavior as persistent “digital objects,” allowing interaction that feels fundamentally natural in use while minimizing fatigue and long-term side effects without the need for headsets or wearables.
As a new expression of XR, MEDI targets a distinct and scalable opportunity: always-on, everyday interfaces for AI agents across work, learning, and shared environments. As intelligence becomes ambient rather than screen-bound, MEDI defines a new interface layer—shifting immersion from episodic experiences to continuous, infrastructure-level adoption.
Revenant Reverie is a creative technology studio that bridges imagination and innovation through immersive experiences. Specializing in augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and interactive media, the company helps brands “phygitize” their presence connecting physical and digital worlds to create meaningful engagement. With deep roots in film, VFX, and animation, Revenant Reverie combines cinematic storytelling with cutting-edge technology to craft interactive campaigns, games, and experiences that captivate audiences. The studio’s mission is to make immersive tech accessible, creative, and culturally relevant, empowering brands to stand out through visionary ideas, technical excellence, and emotionally resonant digital storytelling.
Braillic is building affordable AR-guided surgical navigation for hospitals in underserved economies where almost 70% of the population lacks access to timely, life-saving surgeries because the high-risk demands costly surgical navigation equipment and thousands of critical surgeries are done without image guidance in low-resource settings. Countless life-saving cases become inoperable not because of the surgeon’s skill set but lack of affordable precision. Surgeons can’t achieve minimally invasive accuracy and don’t take the risk.
We are closing that gap by enabling surgical navigation using AR for those hospitals. Our product, ArNav is a low-cost, AR-based surgical navigation system based on Magic Leap 2. We overlay a precise 3D map of a patient’s scans directly onto their body. This gives surgeons sub-millimeter “x-ray vision” to guide their instruments, significantly increasing accuracy in complex neuro and orthopedic surgeries.
VIZON is a deeptech hardware startup building the future of XR (AR/VR) & AI, from India. A dropout founder, bootstrapped over 5 years of intensive RnD in stealth with team, and built the most advanced consumer product ever developed in India. The world’s best XR & AI Smart Glasses, offering disruptive features with flagship specifications. In multiple variants for both consumers and enterprises. And a suite of custom software, from the AR VR interface and games, to AI & Computer Vision models. Entirely in house developed everything from electronics designs to hardware manufacturing, from a custom OS to trained models.
Filter You is an award-winning AR, VR & AI xperience Agen-Z helping brands create immersive, shareable, and measurable digital moments. From AR Mirrors and Photobooths to interactive WebAR and Lens campaigns, we bridge physical spaces with digital storytelling. Our work with brands like Amazon, IKEA, McDonald’s, Reliance and PVR INOX has redefined how consumers experience marketing, entertainment, and retail. Filter You has a retail innovation product in it’s PMF stage that is a cloud controlled AR network that is connected to social, which helps retail outlets become more immersive, generate UGC and remarket to their walkins for their brand an additional layer of AI for emotion marking to signify the health of the walk ins is in development stage. Both the solutions are in the enterprise retail B2B segment looking to disrupt traditional interactivity on everyday shopping.
