Video game start-up Dead Pixels has been acquired by Tps Group

Startup

Tps Group, a listed company operating in the technical, engineering and multimedia services sector, has acquired the start-up Dead Pixels.

Dead Pixels is the start-up founded in 2016 by four young people from Turin with the dream of creating video games. Piergianni Pulito, Maurizio Marseguerra, Giacomo Gallo, Luca Mariani, are the people behind it: students at the Politecnico di Torino, they designed "Singularis", an adventure in space that exploits computer graphics and virtual reality. 

Their Singularis was awarded at the "#Wcap" competition organised by Tim. The start-up was then selected in the Tim #Wcap acceleration programme and became part of I3P, Politecnico di Torino's Innovative Companies Incubator.

"We already had the opportunity to collaborate with TPS on a project to configure Leonardo's helicopters," says Piergianni. "We chose to join this group because it specialises in the processing of digital content and is strongly oriented towards technological innovation. It will allow us to broaden our horizons and strengthen our skills. It is a great growth opportunity for our business".

The Turin-based start-up has developed the ideal language to "engage" users with complete sensory experiences: the team has very diverse skills and backgrounds ranging from more technical to graphic design. This combination makes it possible to create photorealistic renderings of environments and places of all kinds and to create experiences with a strong focus on both psychological and physical immersion and narrative. Dead Pixels' solutions are able to render audio-visual sensations that make the user feel part of the scene, as if he or she were really present in it.

Tps, with more than 50 years of history behind it, is listed on the Borsa Italiana's Aim stock exchange and offers engineering services for the industry through its four business units: its customers include Leonardo and then Fca, Ferrari, Alstom and Avio Aero. "Dead Pixels' technology can be successfully applied in the technical field to remotely assist maintenance activities or even in training environments," says Tps General Manager Massimiliano Anguillesi.
