Prophesee had a busy Fall with the announcement of a new round of funding and the release of their Metavision sensor, the first industry-standard packaged chip that leverages Event-Based Vision technology, a significant advancement over traditional frame-based vision approaches. Wired Island has worked with Prophesee for several years and different phases of the company, and was excited to share the news about this next chapter.

The Wired Island team helped to develop the press release, media relations plan, social media content, and other announcement materials around the release of Metavision. The team regularly promotes the benefits around Prophesee's event-based vision approach, but this represented a major milestone for the entire computer vision industry in being available in an industry-standard package. Wired Island was able to arrange briefings the week prior to the announcement in various trade and tech publications such as EETimes. The news was even picked up by popular engineering blogs such as Image Sensors World and ChipsNWafers.com which called Metavision "Powerful Image Detection & Capturing Sensor For Next Generation Of Cameras".

Riding the momentum of the sensor release, Prophesee announced the closing of $28M in funding, bringing their total investment to date to $68M. The announcement was widely covered in French and English publications. The news was covered by print, broadcast, and even podcast outlets. The funding will allow the company to continue the commercialization and accelerate the industrialization of their solutions in key sectors. Coverage and round-ups continue to roll in around both events, and we are pleased to see Prophesee enjoy this additional recognition they have worked for many years to achieve.
