When an engineer has an idea that could change the world, the world might not immediately be ready for it. That is what Omer Keilaf realised in 2012 when he thought he could revolutionise LiDAR technology while watching an advert for the Xbox Kinect.

At that time the world was interested in mobile phone technology, which had little use for bulky LiDAR. Fast forward five years, the buzz had shifted to driverless cars, and Omer knew his time had come.
