[Netease smart news August 18 news] Google announced on the 16th acquisition of a company called AIMatter Belarus start-up company. The company developed an app called Fabby, which uses artificial intelligence to provide self-timer editing capabilities.
We don't know much about this company. It seems to have only one Facebook page, but according to TechCrunch, in addition to Fabby applications, the company has also developed a neural network based artificial intelligence platform and software development kit for rapid detection and processing of images on mobile devices. This may be Google's main interest, at least in terms of the talent behind it.
According to the app's Apple App Store listing, the app allows users to “choose from hundreds of masks, backgrounds, make-up designs, and other creative effects,†allowing users to “click on more than 2 billion designer-style collections at a time. You can see your own selfie." It is said that artificial intelligence can recognize "different parts of the self-timer, intelligently change the hairstyle and make-up effect", and apply the "digital beautification" function.
From a digital perspective, this application seems to have achieved some success. The list of Android game stores shows that it has been downloaded from 100,000 to 500,000 times. According to the TechCrunch website, the company claims that it has a total download of 2 million times, which means it is more popular among iOS users. Until March of this year, it launched the Android version.
At this stage, in addition to the possibility of continuing to provide self-timer functionality, Google's use of this technology is purely speculation. Google may add technologies in future Android versions, such as Android camera applications, or use it in both augmented reality and virtual reality technologies.
It is unclear how much money AIMatter has raised in the acquisition, but the company did raise $2 million in a round of financing led by the Haxus Venture Fund in January. The fund is also a major investor in MSQRD. MSQRD is also a startup company based in Belarus. The company also provided a selfie filter application that was acquired by Facebook in March 2016.
