Vayyar’s sensors create a 3D image of everything happening around you in realtime, without the use of a
camera. These sensors can see through solid objects, map large areas and can be used in privacy-sensitive locations where optics cannot. Providing a look beyond human vision, Vayyar’s sensors have expanded across industry sectors, including smart home, automotive, retail, robotics, medical, construction, agriculture and more.

Vayyar’s mission is to help people worldwide improve their health, safety, and quality of life. Because of the high demand for Vayyar’s technology by a wide range of industries, the company and its investors predict the need for the company to rapidly scale non-linear growth opportunities.
Lip-Bu Tan, Chairman of Walden International and Managing Director of WRV, said: “Vayyar’s technology has disruptive potential across a myriad of different industries. Vayyar is growing fast, and we look forward to helping Vayyar impact the automotive and smart home industries in a similar way.”
