SANTA CLARA, USA: GEO Semiconductor Inc. has entered into a strategic technology partnership with AppBanc LLC.

The partnership will focus on product development that will leverage GEO’s eWarp technologies both in software and IC form. The end product of the partnership will provide customers with sophisticated functions on their smartphone cameras with performance that equals or improves upon conventional digital point-and-shoot still cameras, while also enabling new features currently not available from any other source.

“Smartphones are increasingly becoming the primary device for communications, and camera functionality is a key part of that,” said Paul Russo, GEO’s CEO “The partnership will enable improved camera features for consumers and enable novel camera applications in multiple areas, including video communications.”

“The partnership with GEO is very strategic for AppBanc,” said Gilbert Springer, CEO of AppBanc. “GEO’s scaling and warp technologies are best-in-class and the only technologies capable of enabling a broad range of advanced applications and smartphone peripherals planned by AppBanc to create compelling end-user experiences.”
