Radovan Radenkovic changes meeting perspectives with LensSeek

Radovan “Nick” Radenkovic is an engineer turned local entrepreneur. He is the creator behind LensSeek, virtual-like glasses that allow meeting participants to see from other’s physical point of view. 

When participants wear the glasses, their individual perspectives are shared. For instance, if one participant directs their sight towards a wall, the other participant simultaneously perceives that same wall through their own lenses. Similarly, if a participant shifts their focus to a window, the other participant also experiences that exact visual through the glasses, creating a unified and shared viewing experience. This seamless transmission of visual information allows for a truly collaborative and immersive interaction, where each participant’s field of vision is replicated for the other.

“The product is a point-of-view streaming wearable device that we have captured as a pair of glasses,” Radenkovic said. “I wanted the ability to capture other’s viewpoints so they are able to see things from another perspective while they have a conversation.”

LensSeek overcomes the obstacle that traditional digital meeting spaces like Zoom and Google Meet face, which is the inability to view other participants’ physical point of view. This can be done somewhat easier in a traditional face-to-face meeting, but not as easily as with LensSeek because it makes it possible to put on the physical perspective of another.

“What you’re familiar with right now is like the traditional meeting and video calls – it’s engaging each other and communicating,” he said. “What I’m trying to address is changing that dynamic. The device I built is a point-of-view streaming device, so I can stream directly to the platform and it’d be like a video conference – so you’ll be able to see me, from my point of view, while we’re talking on a video call.” 

Since the product is wearable, the user can always remove the glasses while recording on another device, such as a phone or laptop, to switch out points of view.

“Say that you’re hosting a cooking class as an example, and you can have your phone or camera up recording it. Then, you can have the glasses from your point of view,” Radenkovic said. “You could be point-of-view streaming from what you’re looking at, or you can go to the other camera feed for your perspective to see what environment you’re working in.”

While Radenkovic’s recently rolled out LensSeek, he’s not slowing down. He is continuously working to enhance the product and add to its offering.

“We are implementing an AR overlay that you can actually have things in your point of view,” he said. “You’ll have your visual perspective center, and the other you’ll be able to have notes.”

Furthermore, Radenkovic is also seeking to make the product app-friendly. LensSeek has secured a partnership with Purdue University, which helps Radenkovic continue to innovate and finance his work.

“As of right now, I have a partnership with Purdue that’s helping me develop and we’re going through the process of raising funds,” he said.

Amidst all these milestones, Radenkovic never loses focus on growing through learning. He’s always trying to learn as much as he can. As Radenkovic continues to learn and grow, so does his company and his product. As an entrepreneur, he’s focused on pushing the boundaries of what’s possible through virtual meet up.
