Morpho has signed a memorandum of understanding with Finland-based Distance Technologies to pursue a business partnership. The companies aim to develop next-generation spatial computing that intuitively integrates physical surroundings with digital information by combining AI image processing and light-field HUD technology.
Morpho announced that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Distance Technologies Oy to pursue a business partnership in next-generation spatial computing. The companies cited the growing importance of advanced HUD and XR technologies in the automotive and defense sectors and outlined a policy of combining Morpho's high-precision AI image processing and 3D reconstruction technologies with Distance's light-field display technology.
Distance has AI-powered optical technology that projects 3D information across the entire field of view without requiring eyewear, enabling XR displays for windshields and helmets. The MOU aims to create an experience that synchronizes the real world with digital information by linking Distance's technology with Morpho's image processing and distance estimation technologies.
Going forward, the companies plan to discuss technology collaboration and business development for visual assistance systems, focusing on the automotive and defense sectors. In the automotive field, they envision jointly developing HUD solutions that use surrounding data with high precision and enable the perception of distance and depth on the windshield. In the defense field, they aim to develop situational awareness systems that display real-time information within the user's field of view.
Representatives of both companies have emphasized the significance of collaboration under the partnership and its potential in the defense and security sectors. They expect to develop solutions that capitalize on the respective strengths of both companies.
