Matrix leads seed round to expand Meshcapade's market-leading AI solutions that transform pictures, videos, text, and sensor data into 3D humans in the SMPL Standard body format. Meshcapade's technology and founding team spun out from the MPI for Intelligent Systems.
Meshcapade's mission is to make technology more human by building the "digital human layer" of the internet brick by brick, supporting all business applications that must "see" or generate humans. Building around Meshcapade's patented SMPL body model provides seamless integration of high-accuracy digital humans across all verticals. Through easy to use APIs and web-based tools, Meshcapade allows users to convert images, videos, 3D scans, motion capture data, text, and measurements into 3D digital humans. Meshcapade's goal is to build best-in-class foundation models for the analysis and synthesis of 3D human motion and appearance.
