Maria: Global optics giant ZEISS has announced its acquisition of Ncam Technologies, a pioneer in camera tracking. This strategic decision highlights ZEISS’s dedication to leading the way in optics and optoelectronics advancements.
Philip, I believe this falls within your expertise. Can you shed some light on this?
Philip Grossman: Certainly. From the ZEISS perspective, it’s intriguing. While ZEISS is renowned in the film industry primarily as a world-class lens manufacturer, they have a broader footprint in the tech sector. The fact that they’re acquiring Ncam, which was once a frontrunner in the VR domain, is quite noteworthy. I’m somewhat ambivalent about this move. It’s potentially exhilarating, considering they might integrate their globally acclaimed lenses with NCAM’s technology, which has been pivotal for virtualization, VR, and more aptly, augmented reality. This merger could elevate the technology from being perceived as a mere gimmick to a top-tier professional tool. I’m curious to see if they’ll also venture into the camera sector and possibly rival other major players. Panavision, for instance, produced both cameras and lenses. It’ll be interesting to see if ZEISS follows suit.
Maria: Many thanks to our experts – Philip and Mary! And don’t forget to comment on the news we’ve discussed. See you next Monday at the same time! Goodbye!
Hosts: Philip Grossman, Mary Ann Seidle, and Maria Kholodova.
