AR-Applications and energy-management: the Foundation for Technological Innovation (FIT) supports two EPFL spin-offs.

Darix develops augmented reality (AR) applications for professionals. Its flagship thermal imaging solution, Vizir, combines a mini infrared camera and a transparent screen installed in oxygen masks of fire fighters, showing two images in their field of view: what their eyes see and what the thermal imaging camera records and displays in real time.

While Darix uses the loan to make a preproduction prototype, the second company Zaphiro Technologies, will use it to run projects in Switzerland and in Asia, and to conduct final product validation.

The energy-focused Zaphiro develops an innovative solution for the smart management of electrical distribution grids called SynchroGuard. The solution provides real-time visibility of the grid status, enabling safe integration of renewable energies, and quickly reacts to electrical faults. It consists of distributed sensing and a central grid controller that collects all the measurements.
