The Edinburgh firm behind a spherical projection system (magic balls!) used by the likes of Coldplay to the world's most famous oil cartel has received a further boost in funding.
Braveheart, the Perth-based angel investor, has led a £430,000 funding round into Pufferfish, which was spun out of the University of Edinburgh in 2004. Pufferfish's spherical display system, the PufferSphere, offers digital projection over its entire surface, giving high-impact display of digital content. It describes the inflatable technology as "inescapably conspicuous and impressively adaptable", claiming it draws its own crowd when on display. The PufferSphere has been used in a number of cultural events, featuring heavily in the latest Coldplay tour as well as at Big Chill music festivals and the Edinburgh International Film Festival.
