Exploring the Future of Augmented Reality with Tahmeed Rahim from Glyph Platforms

Pitch Please

Ever wondered how augmented reality (AR) can go beyond just digital overlays and into detailed, hyper realistic experiences?

Meet Glyph, the platform that's embedding code into the real world, transforming AR into something truly remarkable.

I sat down with Tahmeed Rahim, co-founder of Glyph, to discuss how their platform is redefining AR by allowing it to track deformation and provide realistic, interactive experiences.

Tahmeed shares his journey from engineering at the University of Toronto to founding Glyph, highlighting how their technology enables precise AR overlays on complex surfaces like textiles and interiors. With applications ranging from interior design to robotics, Glyph is set to revolutionize how we interact with digital and physical worlds.

Discover how Glyph's innovative approach is paving the way for the future of AR, making it more accessible and effective for businesses and consumers alike.

About Tahmeed

Tahmeed Rahim is the founder and CEO of Glyph Platforms, a startup focused on next gen spatial computing. An engineering graduate from University of Toronto, Tahmeed started his career as the first engineering hire at a biomedical company focused on personalized medicine, overseeing the development of automation systems for vision based assay analysis. With over 4 years of experience in building vision based systems, Tahmeed founded Dawn Robotics with the intention to apply the novel spatial computing system called "Glyph" in the field of robotics. Dawn Robotics eventually became Glyph Platforms as the applications of Glyph reached further than just robotics and into the field of Augmented Reality!

About Glyph Platforms

Glyph Platforms develops next gen spatial computing for applications in augmented reality in the trillion dollar textile industry. Glyph works with some of the largest textile companies in the world to reduce waste, costs and time loss associated with physical sampling, via digitizing and showcasing their products using AR. We have big plans next year to release our hyper-realistic spatial computing markers called "Glyphs" to the public and let the AR community bring out the true potential of this new medium. By making computer vision accessible and easy to implement, Glyph Platforms aims to democratize the creation of AR experiences and drive the future of ambient computing.
