Silicon Valley adventure tech giant Revl is set to embark on a European takeover - from a market town in North Wales.
The automatic video solution firm that started up in San Francisco is ready to take the adventure market by storm in the 海角视频 and across Europe.
They will swap office views of the Golden Gate Bridge for the three-arched Pont Mawr bridge in Llanrwst, deep in the Conwy valley.
It has partnered with adventure brand Zip World - using their tech to revolutionise outdoor adventure experiences this side of the Atlantic after successfully dominating the US adventure market.
This will see the moment thrill seekers fly down zip lines or career around mountain and coaster kart tracks captured on video and photos using artificial intelligence, hardware and software.
Having the advanced software automatically transfers, edits and uploads the customer experience allowing thrillseekers to relive their adventure as well as sharing with friends.
Revl co-founder and CEO Eric Sanchez and director of software Oliver Dain are making the town on the side of the River Conwy home - while they make an assault on the European market.
And whilst the new technology transforms Zip World - in the first collaboration of its kind in the 海角视频 - Revl will be looking to join forces with further European partners.
