Rypplzz – the creators of Interlife, a multi-patented geo-location platform – recently announced $3 million in pre-seed funding from a group of investors including Deal Box Ventures, Fulcrum Investing, and Innovative Venture Partners to accelerate the adoption of its breakthrough geospatial mapping technology that connects the digital-physical world with greater precision.
The company creates ‘intelligent air’ that turns airspace into monetizable engagement opportunities by creating the infrastructure needed to program digital files to precise coordinates of airspace with an accuracy within 6 inches of the location. And this improves the level of accuracy by several orders of magnitude over standard GPS-based technologies which operate with a precision between 10 to 20 feet of the object.
Plus the company also announced it is collaborating with large venues such as the 27-acre Tucson Convention Center, a major U.S. sports league, Cisco Sports and Media Group, and SkyPath Security to create next-generation stadium experiences. And Rypplzz technology will power groundbreaking AR-based fan experiences, precise wayfinding and traffic analytics, geotargeting, and a host of tech-enabled crowd management capabilities. And the company is also exploring security-related applications for large warehouses, event locations, and construction sites for precise geo-location and enhanced connectivity for improving security and asset management in these spaces, driving better efficiency and safety among workers.
Considering the high demand for precise geolocation services with its numerous applications in industries such as AR, web3, as well as other location-based services, Rypplzz’s patented breakthrough technology is transformative in the sports, entertainment, and hospitality markets to enhance fan engagement and drive new revenue for large venues and content owners. And the technology is also being used for security applications for large commercial venues.
Rypplzz recently partnered with the musician Grimes, who utilized the technology to host the first-ever Augmented Reality Art Rave at the Ultra Music Festival in Miami. And the company is also partnering with Skypath Security to deliver pinpoint geo-location accuracy to improve warehouse security and operations and build the infrastructure that could help first responders access real-time data needed to save crucial time while responding to security issues and active events.
