Executive Opinion

Sravanth Aluru, Founder and CEO, Avataar commented,

“More than 60 percent of human sensory neural processing is visual in nature, and the lack of spatial depth on flat screens today drives a big experience gap between the digital (static 2D images and videos) and the physical world experiences. The digital world is undergoing a fundamental shift from static 2D content to a life-size virtual 3D world that is dynamic and superimposable onto our shared physical reality. Avataar aims to be the ‘Inside Engine’ powering many new consumer journeys in this shift.”

“Consumers continue to look for a better ecommerce experience, and the innovative technology created by Avataar provides a powerful plug-and-play solution for its customers to meet this demand. As the digital world shifts from 2D to 3D, Avataar and its talented management team are well-positioned in this fast-growing market,” said Evan Feinberg, Partner at Tiger Global.
