SIGGRAPH: MIXAMO MAKES SHOW DEBUT
The company was founded by 3D pioneers Nazim Kareemi, CEO, and Stefano Corazza, CTO, and is basing its work on research done at Stanford University's BioMotion Lab.
Kareemi was the founding CEO of Canesta, a company that developed one of the first CMOS 3D sensors. Corazza's research at Stanford produced the first practical markerless motion capture system based on off-the-shelf video cameras.
Mixamo's founders are backed by an advisory board that includes leaders in the game development and animation industry. The company's technology was developed in collaboration with Stanford University, Toronto University and the Max Planck Institute.
