Scanta: Augmented Reality avatars with an emotional quotient

Scanta is a research-first company which tries to bring to life what Augmented Reality (AR) has in store, using machine learning (ML) capabilities. Creating emotionally intelligent AR assistants is Scanta’s mission. With offices in San Francisco and Gurgaon, this startup wanted to build something that addressed day-to-day use cases with AR, says founder & CEO Chaitanya Hiremath. “We wanted to build something that wasn’t only for the businesses,” says Hiremath, talking about the unique route the business is taking today.
