Define: Augmented reality?
Augmented reality (AR) is an interactive experience of a real-world environment where the objects that reside in the real world are enhanced by computer-generated perceptual information, sometimes across multiple sensory modalities, including visual, auditory, haptic, somatosensory and olfactory. AR can be defined as a system that fulfills three basic features: a combination of real and virtual worlds, real-time interaction, and accurate 3D registration of virtual and real objects. The overlaid sensory information can be constructive, or destructive. This experience is seamlessly interwoven with the physical world such that it is perceived as an immersive aspect of the real environment. In this way, augmented reality alters one’s ongoing perception of a real-world environment, whereas virtual reality completely replaces the user’s real-world environment with a simulated one. Augmented reality is related to two largely synonymous terms: mixed reality and computer-mediated reality.

SensiPass Ltd.
Crunchbase | Website | Twitter | Facebook | Linkedin
SensiPass® solves a $400 billion problem of identity theft and insider threats for critical infrastructure and utilities. We do this by replacing the need for passwords and PINs with a better knowledge factor: personal human interaction.
By registering a user’s device and biometric and a related interaction, SensiPass creates a sophisticated digital signature that cannot be shared or replayed, effectively eliminating insider threats. SensiPass offers 3-factor authentication in 3 seconds for the highest level of identity assurance for desktop, mobile or physical access.
We simply make biometrics smarter. Virtual (AR/VR/MR/XR) environments provide detailed information beneficial to users in many industrial and critical environments.
Identity assurance of the individual accessing these data, and inputting interactive and other sensor data is critical to both the training of that individual and during use in the field. SensiPass has patented and developed several unique multifactor login products (SensiAR™, ImmersiveID™ in an effort to keep digital assets out of the reach of wrongdoers.
The method involves the user registering a virtual object and/or biometric, as well as a secret interaction with that registered object/token. The process can take place completely within the immersive environment or by incorporating a mobile device for data capture and measuring interactions, depending on the specific use case.
In addition to several patent awards, SensiPass has recently been recognized by Deloitte with their Fast 50 Award for Innovation in Cybersecurity, Red Herring, and Enterprise Security Magazine.. .
