London, ON Presenting: Andrew Searle, Sales manager email: asearle@ioindustries.com IO Industries Inc. manufactures high-performance digital video cameras and video recording equipment, used world- wide for applications in defense and aerospace testing, aca- demic research, machine vision, live sports broadcasting and virtual reality content creation. IOI's video recording tech- nology allows many high-performance video cameras to be synchronously recorded with no video compression, so as to maintain the best quality for post-processing. Our roots in multi-camera instrumentation systems for flight dynamics, motion analysis, and visual inspection applications have led IOI's products to a new popular application: volumetric video capture studios. These studios create high-fidelity three-di- mensional holograms of human performances, reconstructed from many simultaneous camera viewpoints of the subject. Volumetric video invokes a high level of engagement, and apart from consumer use in media and games, it can be used for ultra-realistic simulation and training in medical, industrial and defense settings. tAiGA ROBOtiCS toronto, ON Presenting: dmitri ignakov, CeO/Founder email: dmitri.ignakov@taigarobotics.com Taiga Robotics is a Toronto-based company working at the forefront of extended reality (XR), robotics, and artificial in- telligence (AI). We have developed a platform that connects a user's senses and actions to any electronically controlled machine, turning it into an avatar of the user controlled in XR. In doing so, we make it possible to use robots for appli- cations that were otherwise inaccessible, providing improved safety and operational efficiency. iRiSteL CyBeRSeCuRity markham, ON Presenter: Neil Liu, VP Cybersecurity Operations email: nliu@iristel.com Iristel Cybersecurity brings market disruptive cyber solutions to small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Fully understanding the typical challenges facing SMEs in cybersecurity manage- ment, our market-tested, purpose-built, AI-backed next-gen cyber solutions are fast and easy to deploy, hassle-free, and cost only a fraction of market standard options while deliver- ing more effective results and ROI. Our AI-based cybersecu- rity solutions have been tested against various advance-level malware and utilize artificial intelligence (AI) and machine- learning algorithms, allowing the system and SOC to identify cyber incidents immediately and stop threats in real-time. Our systems also integrate with many top SIEM Enterprise architectures and allow for a level of forensics investigation and real-time process termination. imRSV dAtA LABS Ottawa, ON Presenting: melissa Clark, director Business development email: melissa@imrsv.ai At IMRSV Data Labs, we apply cutting-edge machine learning to solve our customers' most pressing information manage- ment problems. As global leaders in the field, we aim to im- prove how machines process, understand and interpret natural language. We specialize in building customized solutions in classification and machine vision with unstructured data while delivering the fastest and most accurate technology available. PLeORA teCHNOLOGieS Kanata, ON Presenting: Leslie Bayford, user experience design manager email: Leslie.Bayford@pleora.com Global military manufacturers rely on Pleora's products, standards expertise, and systems knowledge to bypass de- velopment and integration complexities in mission-critical local situational awareness, remote weapon station, driver enhancement, and surveillance applications. The Rugged- CONNECT Smart Video Switcher platform is a modular, scalable, open approach to real-time sensor networking that helps manufacturers meet interoperability and scalabil- ity demands in SWaP-C sensitive applications while reduc- ing cognitive burden and increasing mission-effectiveness for end-users. Pleora's sensor interfaces revolutionized the industrial automation market, and now we're bringing new levels of awareness and intelligence to security and defense applications. FORCeN iNC. toronto, ON Presenting: Robert Brooks, President email: robert.brooks@forcen.tech Forcen Inc.'s 'ForceFilm System' provides precision multi- dimension force sensing and haptic force control/simulation solutions. The ForceFilm System measures strain created by application of force/pressure on any stiff surface or part-that the ForceFilm (0.15mm thick) is laminated on. The surface or part can be of any complex shape or geometry. The strain can be measured in multiple-points or dimensions, due to the array of sensors integrated into the thin ForceFilm. Elec- tronically-processed noise-free data transmission (Wireless or Wired). Applications include human machine interfaces, aerospace diagnostics, and smart rifle systems. Preventive maintenance includes military vehicle static mounts, robotic systems, and manufacturing/tooling/jigs.
