According to industry sources, Pranav Mistry, CEO of Neon, introduced on his Twitter account that he will announce 'CORE R3,' the software used in Neon.

Neon, while applying for a patent in the U.S., described 'CORE R3' as "software that can create, edit, and control virtual characters usable in movies, TV, internet platforms, and more."

CORE R3 was named after the first letters of the three main features: reality, realtime, and responsive. Neon defined CORE R3 as computer-generated imagery that can be utilized in movies, games, AR services, simulations, and more.
