Karnataka government funded BMS Innolabs has brought to life world's most ancient storylines.
Australian Aboriginal company Indigital has been working with Bengaluru-based BMS Innolabs to bring to life the world's most ancient storylines through the world's newest technology, Microsoft Hololens.
The partnership has been building for the past two years after CEO Indigital Mikaela Jade and CEO BMS Innolabs Gautham Kalathur had a chance encounter at America's fastest growing tech start-up event, Collision.
"Our passions for augmented reality storytelling truly collided, culminating in a world first mobile phone app, Indigital Storytelling, being released in Australia in July this year,” Kalathur said.
The Indigital Storytelling app shares the Australian Aboriginal cultural stories of Kakadu World Heritage Area through image recognition of 20,000 year old cultural rock art figures.
BMS Innolabs, a government start-up cell success story, has recently been funded by the Karnataka government for an innovative social technological solution. Their association with Indigital has resulted in a disruptive solution for cultural and historical storytelling.
The aim is to use the worlds newest technology as one tool to help Indigenous communities around the world maintain cultural languages, stories, science knowledge and cultural laws. The duo were able to showcase the prototype they've developed this week to Karnataka IT/BT and tourism minister, Priyank Kharge who agrees it has potential and spoke about future collaborations.
