  Fyusion develops an immersive 3D imaging platform that combines computer vision and machine learning to create interactive 3D images (Fyuses) from any camera or smartphone. Its technology captures high-definition images that can be processed in about 60 seconds and presented across mobile, desktop, AR and VR hardware. The company holds nearly 80 patents and has commercialized use cases in automotive (damage analysis, AR/VR extraction) and is expanding into fashion and e-commerce. Fyusion reports around 150 million users of its products globally. The business has raised close to $70 million to date and is backed by prominent Silicon Valley investors and global corporate partners. Fyusion’s platform is positioned to drive higher e-commerce engagement and sales by enabling 360-degree interactive product viewing. Fyusion develops technology that enables 3D capture with any camera to produce interactive images called ‘fyuses’ that users can tilt or swipe to view in up to 360 degrees. Its core stack combines computer vision and machine learning and is covered by more than 50 patents. Fyuses are optimized for small file sizes similar to a high-quality JPEG while remaining immersive and interactive across web, mobile, VR, AR and mixed reality platforms. The company has commercial partnerships with Cox Automotive and its Manheim brand to deliver enhanced merchandising for Manheim Express and wholesale services. Fyusion and Manheim plan future innovations that will add more artificial intelligence and improve objectivity in condition reports. The company is led by CEO and co-founder Radu Rusu and is based in San Francisco, CA. Financially, Fyusion announced a new $30M funding round and had previously raised $40M. Fyusion builds 3D computer-vision and machine-learning technology that lets users create immersive, interactive 3D images (“fyuses”) by moving a camera around a person, object or scene. Its core stack is covered by over 50 patents and is underpinned by a large, monthly-updated database of real-world 3D images from OEM partnerships. The company targets three verticals: mobile OEM (chipset-level mobile AR platforms with a first launch planned for Q1 2018), automotive imaging (a Car Capture App/SDK for 360° 4K captures and inspection workflows), and e-commerce imaging (studio and lifestyle 3D capture with Turntable Mode and automatic tagging). Fyusion reports more than 15 million Weekly Active Users and about 2.5 billion tilts (user-triggered view events) per week on its platform. OEM partners named in the articles include Gionee, Huawei, TCL and ZTE, and commercial partners or customers include Cox Automotive, Gulliver and DoneDeal. The company has been recognized by Walmart and Accenture for retail innovation. Fyusion has raised a total of $38 million since its 2014 inception and is based in San Francisco. Fyusion develops surround-view digital technology and a mobile photo app platform that lets users navigate beyond fixed angles and experience images from multiple perspectives. Its first application, Fyuse, is a mobile photo social app available for iOS and Android. Fyuse has been adopted by musicians (including Katy Perry, J*Davey, and Kittens), fashion designers (Kerby Jean‑Raymond and Camelia Skikos), and several brands across e-commerce, fashion and automobile industries. The company is led by CEO and co‑founder Dr. Radu B. Rusu. Fyusion intends to continue developing its user experience and to broaden its audience. Fyusion develops patent-pending 3D image-processing technologies and a 3D modeling platform that capture space via visual graph structures called "Spatial Photographs." Its consumer product, Fyuse, is a mobile iOS app that lets users create and share immersive Spatial Photographs by moving a camera through a scene. The company licenses its technologies and platform to players in the mobile and wearable device sectors. Fyusion intends to use recent funding to continue adding features and capabilities to the Fyuse app. The company was founded in 2013 by Dr. Radu B. Rusu (CEO), Stefan J.J. Holzer (CTO) and Stephen D. Miller (VP Engineering).
