Visit WebsiteCompany Overview
AnyVision, now operating as Oosto, is a Holon, Israel-based Vision AI company founded in 2015. The company developed proprietary computer vision and deep learning technology for real-time face recognition, body detection, and behavior analytics. Their platform processes billions of detections per year across a global network that includes customers like Nvidia, Honeywell, and major retail and security organizations.
The company raised over $235M in venture capital from investors including SoftBank Vision Fund, Eldridge Industries, and Lightspeed Venture Partners. AnyVision's technology enables accurate person of interest alerting even when subjects actively try to avoid identification, smart behavior detection including fighting, running, and slip-and-fall events, and rapid edge-deployment at scale.
Dual-use relevance is extremely high: facial recognition and behavior analytics technology developed for commercial security directly serves military intelligence, force protection, border security, and counterterrorism operations. The technology enables real-time identification of persons of interest at military checkpoints, base access control, and theater-wide surveillance networks. AnyVision has worked with defense and intelligence agencies, and the core technology is directly applicable to military biometric identification systems used in COIN and stability operations.
