The Zurich-based Seervision AG has developed a software solution that allows studio cameras to be automated. For example, a single person can operate several cameras at the same time via a PC. The solution is based on Artificial Intelligence (AI), image recognition and predictive mathematical models. It can anticipate the movement of a person in the image so that camera pans as if being operated by a human.

Seervision was founded in 2016 as a spin-off from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (ETH). As the university explains in a press release, the start-up has benefitted strongly from the coronavirus pandemic, with demand having sharply risen due to meetings, presentations and courses being transmitted online in many cases.

While the start-up mainly served video production companies prior to the pandemic, it can now count firms from all sorts of industries among its client base. These mostly want to set up their own studio in order to present their financial results online, for example. According to Nikos Kariotoglou, co-founder and CEO of Seervision, the software allows companies to “produce professional videos without worrying about the complexity of the task or the costs”.

In mid-March, Seervision agreed a partnership in Japan. The Tokyo-based ASK Corporation will now integrate the solution from Zurich in its product portfolio and assume responsibility for commercialization activities in Japan.

Greater Zurich Area Ltd. also partnered up with the innovative startup for the producation of the GZA Live Talk series.
