Kapanu uses AR to show outcomes of dental procedures

Swiss startup Kapanu is aiming to use AR technology to improve outcomes for dental surgery. The Kapanu system was showcased at the International Dental Show in Cologne, and reportedly impressed attendees. This led the company to be acquired by Ivoclar Vivadent.
