Navigating innovation, we unify, inspire, challenge, grow, thrive, excel, connect, and transform Video Intelligence.

FROM NASA-FUNDED RESEARCH TO A LEADER IN AUTONOMOUS VIDEO INTELLIGENCE

Our mission is to deliver precise location-aware intelligence that lets businesses understand where, when, who and what – effortlessly.  We envision a world where every space becomes self-aware, enabling safer, smarter operations without compromising privacy or control.

Born from Research. Ubihere spun out of Ohio State University’s Photogrammertry and Computer Vision Laboratory when Dr. Alper Yilmaz licensed his NASA-funded spatial AI research into commercial IP.

Public Sector Traction. Secured multiple Air Force and Army SBIR awards to develop logistics tracking, navigation and inventory solutions – generating more than $9M in non-dilutive R&D funding.

Pilots & Partnerships. Deployed a 400-camera pilot with City of Hilliard, forged early carrier and industrial partnerships, and submitted TACFI and STRATFI matching proposals.

Commercial Launch. Launched UbiVision commercially, targeting 20+ verticals with a serviceable obtainable market of $203M APR and ready to scale.
