Realeyes3D has secured €7.5 million (USD 9.3 million) in venture capital. This round of funding was led by Atlas Venture and Partech International and had participation from first round investors Siemens Acceleration in Communications and I Source Gestion.

For those not familiar with Realeye3D, the company creates and implements technology related to camera phones. It is best known for Phone2Fun suite of products that allows users to send handwritten messages, postcards, and fax-quality scanned documents from a standard 1 Megapixel camera phone. In essence, the user takes a picture of any document (e.g. handwritten note, article, diagram) and the “scan” can then be sent directly or embedded in other documents, such as a greeting card with a handwritten note.

Realeye3D has also demonstrated uses of its technology in improving photos and even mobile games similar to the Sony Eyetoy.
