Circle Optics

Circle Optics, Inc. is a Delaware Benefit Corporation founded in 2017 and headquartered in Rochester, NY. Circle Optics develops high-resolution, wide field-of-view (180-360°) imaging systems that eliminate the need for the time-consuming, error-prone, insecure, and expensive "stitching" process required by other multicamera systems to achieve wide field-of-view capture. This technology will result in cost reduction for many high-resolution video applications across the entertainment, aerospace, and defense sectors. In June 2019, Circle Optics was one of the winners of funding from the NextCorps' Luminate Accelerator. To date, Circle has been awarded 5 SBIR/STTRs for a total of more than $650,000 from agencies including the US Air Force, NSF, and NASA.
