The Power of Story Meets Advanced Technology

IDEAS Strategic Partner Photon-X Moves to Central Florida

Kissimmee, Florida is proud to welcome a new corporate resident. Photon-X (pronounced “photonics”) has established a new home base in Osceola County, a true crossroads of global business and tourism.

Photon-X President and CEO, Blair Barbour, explains “Photon-X is dedicated to research and development in technologies that capture images, intelligence and analytics. Using our patents, we are designing new ways of using optical systems and solutions — that deliver leading-edge solutions to our clients.”

Photon-X has developed a patented visual sensor and analytics technology that powers the future of 3d imaging, visualization and intelligence – all from a single sensor system. Photon-X has an exclusive, worldwide, strategic partnership with Orlando-based IDEAS. The companies have chosen to execute their growth strategy here — because Central Florida has a unique combination of talent, and a track record in creative content development and modeling and simulation technology. In addition, the quality of life and business friendly environment in the region helps companies to attract world-class business, creative and engineering talent.

To accelerate the opportunity, Photon-X, and downtown Orlando-based IDEAS, have launched “Project IDEAS” to leverage their combined strengths. Through this integrated team, the companies are developing a portfolio of industry specific business solutions to deliver to the market here in Florida, and around the world.

“When we launched IDEAS, we established the business as a source of innovative creativity,” notes Bob Allen, Founder and Chief Storytelling Officer of IDEAS. “Our strategy has always been to provide creative business solutions while partnering with best-of-class technology companies. Our alliance with Photon-X enhances this focus — on delivering great stories across a whole spectrum of audiences and clients in many industries, including in the next generation of location-based immersion.”

“The teaming of Photon-X and IDEAS provides a bedrock upon which we are building a high growth business that fits into the Central Florida landscape,” commented Phil Ruggieri, CEO of IDEAS. “We are honored that Governor Rick Scott is joining our team today to celebrate this new chapter of business and community success.”

Together, Photon-X and IDEAS will engineer a next-generation of advanced personalized, immersive solutions to government and defense clients, as well as commercial customers across multiple industries — including Healthcare, Entertainment, Advertising and Energy.
