Resonai to transform built environments into fully digitized ecosystems

Tel Aviv, Israel-based Resonai aims to build the "digital square foot" and prepare the built world for its "mixed-reality" future. The company is looking to transform physical spaces into intelligent, digitally empowered environments. After successfully growing and steering the $60 million sale of Pebbles Interfaces to Meta's Oculus in 2014, Emil Alon founded Resonai in order to develop a new OS that would converge the physical, built world with emerging digital and web technologies. "Augmented reality is going to dramatically change the world we live in and the way we experience it today," he told VentureBeat. "It will require a new paradigm of ownership, accountability and privacy in a world where everything can be reshaped seamlessly for users at any given time."
