Varjo Announces General Availability of Teleport, the World’s First High-Resolution Scan-to-VR Solution
Additionally, new strategic investors join Varjo.
Helsinki, Finland – November 25, 2024 – Varjo, the global leader in industrial-grade virtual and mixed reality hardware and software, today announced the general availability of Teleport by Varjo, the first service to offer ultra high-resolution 3D scanning using just a smartphone. Starting today, Teleport is available for both professional and individual users for €29.99 per month.
The commercial launch concludes a closed beta period during which Varjo worked with around 2,000 professionals and enterprises to develop and optimize the solution. Beta-testers were able to capture places with just 5–10 minutes of scanning, much faster than the hours or days needed for standard photogrammetry workflows.
“Today, we are proud to release Teleport, the most visually impressive 3D scanning solution publicly available, and the only one able to bring digital twins directly into virtual reality. This service will change the way professionals work, making it easier than ever to capture, share, and analyze real-world places,” said Patrick Wyatt, Chief Product Officer at Varjo.
Powered by generative models trained on NVIDIA GPUs, Teleport enables the creation of photorealistic digital twins, by synthesizing high-definition 3D scenes out of photos taken on a smartphone. Once a place is captured using Teleport, it can then be viewed on a phone, PC, or experienced in full virtual reality. This new service radically reduces the time and complexity traditionally associated with digitizing real-world places, enabling 3D scanning new workflows in fields such as design, remote inspection, construction, and training.
Varjo welcomes new strategic investors
Varjo also expanded its latest funding round, adding new investors Beyond Capital, Nishikawa Communications and NVIDIA, alongside existing investors. With the funding, Varjo will accelerate the adoption of XR hardware and software in industrial environments, offering solutions that enhance productivity, creativity, and efficiency. The company will continue the development of products and services that enable a future where the real and virtual become indistinguishable, by harnessing the latest advancements in AI and machine learning.
“On NVIDIA’s accelerated computing platform, we can push the boundaries of what’s possible in immersive technology, delivering unparalleled experiences for the most demanding industrial users as they bring their workflows into virtual environments,” said Timo Toikkanen, Varjo CEO.
Varjo’s technologies dwarf the computational power that can be achieved with a mobile chip and are a game-changer for the world’s biggest enterprises, including 19 out of 20 of the world’s largest defense and aerospace companies currently utilizing Varjo’s solutions.
