DUBAI, United Arab Emirates--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Banuba, a pioneer in augmented reality and computer vision technologies, announced a significant upgrade to its industry-leading Virtual Background SDK. The enhanced version leverages advanced artificial intelligence to deliver unprecedented realism by greatly smoothing the borders between a user and their digital background, eliminating the jagged edges and pixelation that often plague video calls and content creation.

This breakthrough in AI-powered segmentation ensures a seamless and natural blend, making the virtual background appear authentic and integrated. By negating visual distractions, the technology allows users to maintain a professional and polished presence, whether working remotely, streaming, or in telehealth consultations. The focus remains squarely on the person, enhancing communication clarity and engagement. You can look at the web demo and see the new technology in action.

A key differentiator for Banuba is its extensive cross-platform support. It remains one of the few commercially available background replacement SDKs that functions seamlessly within web browsers, requiring no additional downloads for users. This is complemented by full compatibility with native Android and iOS applications, as well as popular cross-platform frameworks like Flutter and React Native. Furthermore, the SDK supports Mac, Windows, and even Unity for game developers and immersive experiences.

Beyond simple image replacement, Banuba’s SDK offers unparalleled creative flexibility. Developers can integrate features allowing end-users to replace their background with static images, animated GIFs, dynamic videos, or even interactive 3D environments. A standout feature is the unique "Weatherman Mode," which enables users to drag and drop themselves to any position on the screen, unlocking new possibilities for presentations and dynamic content.

"We are committed to pushing the boundaries of what's possible in real-time video augmentation," said Anton Liskevich, CPO/Co-founter at Banuba. "Our latest AI model doesn't just cut a person out; it intelligently blends them into a new environment. This eliminates the ‘ladder effect’ and finally makes virtual backgrounds a truly professional and reliable tool for any application, from enterprise video conferencing to creative live streaming."

The improved Virtual Background SDK is available for licensing immediately.
