Mr. Ziggy Kormandel, Founder and CEO of Augmently, Inc., commented on the collaboration with Pulse, “We are thrilled to announce this unique collaboration with Pulse Evolution,” Kormandel said. “Pulse is the gold standard of human animation in a world that is about to be overrun by digital humans.

They will not be made of flesh and blood. They will be avatars, and they will be digital. We, at Pulse, will build these people, but only through partners like Augmently can they truly come to life in a way that can make a difference to people, in entertainment and in life. We are so excited about what the future will bring with Augmently. That future will reveal itself this summer.”

About Pulse Evolution Corporation

The Company is a recognized pioneer and leading developer of hyper-realistic digital humans for entertainment, virtual reality, augmented reality and artificial intelligence. Pulse is most popularly known for producing the animated digital human likeness of the late Michael Jackson that appeared in a live performance of the Billboard Music Awards on May 18, 2014, seen by more than 11 million television viewers and generating more than 2,400 news articles and 98 billion Internet impressions.

Founded by the world's leading executives and producers of photorealistic digital humans, such as the lead character from the film “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” and the concert experience “Tupac at Coachella", Pulse Evolution is currently developing computer-generated digital humans for entertainment and media applications, such as holographic live performances, virtual reality, augmented reality and artificial intelligence. The Company has multi-year revenue share agreements with the Estates of Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe, three of the world's most valuable celebrity estates, and is principally focused on generating revenues from these agreements.

The Company sees digital humans emerging as ubiquitous in society, culture and industry. They will not only perform for audiences on stage or in film, but they will also represent individual consumers as digital likeness avatars, in realistic and fantasy form, appearing and interacting on the consumer's behalf in electronic and mobile communication, social media, video games and virtual reality. Future digital humans will provide a relatable human interface for artificial intelligence applications, 'thinking' machine systems that, through the Company's technology, will appear as realistic communicating humans in mobile devices, digital signage, classrooms and through lightweight wearable augmented reality glasses and virtual reality headsets. The Company's long-term goal is to be the 'face' of artificial intelligence, to provide a human form to interactive artificially intelligent computer beings.

Pulse is headquartered in Jupiter, Florida with studios in San Rafael, California. Please visit  www.pulse.co
