Anybrain was founded in 2015 by PhDs and engineers specialising in artificial intelligence and big data processing from the University of Minho, Braga. The company is the owner of patented technology based on the analysis of behavioural data proceeded from human-computer interactions. That data is used to form solutions for game studios, allowing “seamless player identification, fraud prevention, age control and fatigue tracking,” with particular focus on compatibility with the game development platforms Unreal Engine, Unity, Source, and CryEngine.
André Pimenta, CEO and Co-founder of Anybrain, spoke on the investment in a release: “After more than 4 years of research and development, we are very proud and excited to open our technology to the global gaming and Esports industry.”
