VisualCamp Secures its Place in Red Herring Top 100 Asia Award

The result has qualified VisualCamp to take part in the 2016 Red Herring Asia held in Manila, Philippines from September 12 to 14 with the support of Born2Global.

This year, Althea Inc., BrilliantTS, Healcerion Co. and Born2Global's Member Company Linearhub have also been selected as the most exciting Korean companies.

There are 20 major criteria in selecting the top startups. They include the candidate company's addressable market size, its IP and patents, its financing proof of concept, trailing revenues and management's expertise.  

In the past, Alibaba, Baidu, InMobi, Rakuten, Snapdeal and Xioami were selected for the Top 100 Asia Award.

Korean companies, such as KaKao and Born2Global Member Company SMATOOS, Ideabove, KNOWCK, Spika, have been selected as finalists for Red Herring's Top 100 Asia Award.

"VisualCamp shows great promise and therefore deserves to be among the finalist companies. The wealth of talent and achievements displayed by Red Herring Asia finalists is an excellent predictor for the new wave of revolutionary technology." said Alec Vieux, publisher and CEO of Red Herring.

The core technology of VisualCamp is the combination of an eye tracking technology with Virtual Reality Head Mount Displays (VR HMD) used for mobile phones. That is, an eye tracking technology is applied to wireless VR HMD. VisualCamp is the only company in the world to own such a technology that could be utilized on mobiles. Its wider application is another advantage; it could be adapted to VR platforms as a crucial technology for analyzing the consumer behavior in the space of VR or the effectiveness of advertising.

"It is an honor to be recognized as one of the top companies that drive innovation across the globe and we will grow into an unrivaled company that owns eye tracking solutions by developing innovative technologies." said Yun-chan Seok, VisualCamp CEO.
