"COVID-19 has increased interest in EnvisionBody's software amidst a surge of in-home connected workout devices," said Salina Ray, CEO of EnvisionBody.

They soon will have access to leverage the next-generation AI/AR advancing technologies to supplement the company's AR content strategy. So, at a time when one might think a startup would be struggling to develop, we have seen interest in our software spike up."
