(“NexOptic” or the “Company”) (TSX VENTURE: NXO) (OTCQB: NXOPF) (FSE: E3O1), an innovator in cutting-edge patented and patent pending Artificial Intelligence (AI) announces it has recently completed the optimization of ALIIS™ for use with the latest Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. Reference Devices with participation from Qualcomm Technologies’ engineers.
This deep optimization with Snapdragon® mobile platforms’ camera framework creates a new hybrid image signal processing pipeline, whereby NexOptic’s Aliis neural network technology provides advanced lighting improvement for real time video applications. NexOptic considers Qualcomm Technologies Reference Devices to be the ultimate demonstration kit for further showcasing Aliis to leading smartphone manufacturers.
NexOptic is a member of the Qualcomm® Platform Solutions Ecosystem Program. As a Qualcomm Platform Solutions Ecosystem member, NexOptic receives support and advice from Snapdragon camera and artificial intelligence experts enabling the continued optimization of Aliis. NexOptic’s advanced AI solutions deliver superb imaging for high quality action video even in low light and enable more efficient data compression for streaming and storage. This relationship allows original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) practically turnkey access to NexOptic’s Aliis.
NexOptic delivers enhanced software feature-sets for camera functionalities on Snapdragon 888 and 778G 5G Mobile Platforms. NexOptic’s next-generation Aliis low-light technology for Snapdragon is fundamentally different from other low light solutions like Google’s Night Sight or Apple’s Night Mode and uses AI to transform video in real time.
