 Solution for camera manufacturers
In the words of Dblur Technologies CEO, Eran Katz: "The Dblur Software Lens Technology we developed provides the optimal solution for digital camera manufacturers because it replaces complex and expensive optical and mechanical elements and substantially lowers the camera's price. Dblur offers mobile phone camera vendors a solution for the design of higher quality miniature cameras at lower cost."
Software Lens Technology
Sequoia Capital is known to be extremely selective when it comes to new investments. According to Mr. Shmil Levy, Sequoia Capital Israel Partner: "The decision to invest in Dblur was due to the impact of the Software Lens Technology on the way digital cameras are designed, which is as substantial as the replacement of film by a digital sensor."
