NVIDIA awarded “One to Watch” awards to the five most promising startups at the GPU Technology Conference in front of an audience of 150 VCs, bankers, and members of the GPU ecosystem.

Out of three dozen finalists in this year’s Emerging Companies Summit, for the first time a Hungarian company joined the winners: Holografika impressed the expert panel of judges with its innovative light-field 3D display technology that relies on parallel GPU computing techniques for achieving real-time light-field generation.

This award-winning light-field display technology is the focus of the PROLIGHT project which performs research and development in the area of 3D visual media through developing modern signal processing methods for ultra-realistic light-field displays.

Péter Tamás Kovács and Kristóf Lackner, both involved in the PROLIGHT project and pursuing their PhD at TUT, heavily contributed to this success at the GPU Technology Conference – and will exploit the awarded Tesla K40 GPU in their further research. Dave Singhal’s (Holografika US) invaluable local support to this success is gratefully acknowledged.

With this award, Holografika joined an illustrious group of winners in previous years, including Oculus Rift, Splashtop, and Elemental Technologies.

The GPU Technology Conference and the Emerging Companies Summit are organized every year in San José, the capital of Silicon Valley.
