Quester Secures Investment with XR 'Hand Tracking' Technology
Questar, a leading company in immersive innovative technology, announced on the 1st that it has successfully secured investment from Qudus Ventures.
Questar is developing high-performance, low-cost hand tracking gloves and virtual experiment practice software called ‘PLAB,’ which can be utilized in XR (Extended Reality) and remote control systems. In this investment round, Questar succeeded in attracting investment by being recognized for its technology and innovation in hand tracking gloves.
Questar’s hand tracking gloves adopt the ‘Visual-Inertial Skeleton Tracking (VIST)’ technology, based on the vision-inertial sensor fusion technology developed by Professor Dongjun Lee of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Seoul National University, enabling accurate tracking in various environments. This solution overcomes the limitations of existing technologies in terms of stability and cost. This year, Questar has been selected for several projects, including the ‘Industry-Academia-Research Collab R&D Project’ and the ‘Private Investment-Driven Technology Startup Support (TIPS)’ program, both hosted by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups, accelerating the advancement of its solution.
Questar is also focusing on developing ‘PLAB,’ a virtual experiment practice software that serves as a highly free scientific experiment simulator based on scientific theories. This technology features providing an experiment practice experience identical to reality within a virtual space through algorithms developed by analyzing scientific theories.
Lee Jung-woo, CEO of Questar, stated, “This investment is expected to further solidify our vision and help mature our business,” adding, “We plan to continuously strive to drive innovation in the industry we belong to.”
