About Realis

Based in Shenzhen, China, Realis is a developer of virtual reality systems and optical technology, founded in 2015. The company concentrates on advancing core technologies for optical spatial positioning motion capture, large-scale space VR interaction, and intelligent human-computer interaction.

Realis has developed an optical camera tracking system called RTS, which facilitates free-roam solutions within virtual reality. This system utilizes cameras to capture reflective markers, thereby identifying the trajectory of moving objects in large spaces. Complementing the hardware is TRACKER, a target tracking software that processes synchronized two-dimensional data from multiple RTS cameras to calculate and output the target's three-dimensional spatial parameters in real-time. The company asserts that its systems are offered at half the cost of competing products and holds over 10 patents.

The technology finds applications in various sectors, including gaming, education, simulation, and military operations. Realis provides both installation services and a packaged equipment rental program to its clients. The company's business model is supported by venture capital, having raised a total of $26.6 million over two funding rounds. A significant Series A funding round on August 8, 2018, raised $11.7 million, with investors including Guangzhou Science City venture Capital and Shenzhen Municipal Talent Innovation Venture Fund.
