South Korean network operator SK Telecom said Wednesday it has partnered with Israel-based 3-D sensor processing developer Inuitive Ltd. to step up its development of solutions based on augmented and virtual reality technology.

SKT and Inuitive signed a memorandum of understanding in Seoul on the day, agreeing to jointly work on new AR-and VR-based solutions under development by SKT for mobile phones and small electronic devices.


SKT plans to merge its AR and VR tech brand “T-Real” with Inuitive’s 3D sensoring technology to create devices that can recognize and process objects, spaces and their movements in 3-D.

“By collaborating with global information technology companies, we will do our best to offer our customers top-quality content services (based on AR and VR),” SKT chief technology officer Choi Jin-sung said in a statement.
