Avalon Holographics is developing a ground-breaking screen technology that will (finally) revolutionize the way that people view and produce visual content. From cave drawings to motion pictures, nearly all of humanity’s attempts to recreate visual experiences have been a 2D compromise; even the most advanced mainstream 3D technologies have been forced to trick the brain and eyes into seeing 2D images and interpreting them as 3D, with serious consequences such as eye fatigue, nausea, and headaches. Avalon displays create a discrete light field that replicates the experience of looking at real objects, to produce an incredibly lifelike and comfortable experience, without headsets or glasses.

SignalRGB is building the unified control layer for RGB hardware. Today, lighting ecosystems are fragmented - each brand requires its own software, devices don’t sync reliably, and performance often suffers. We solve that by providing a single, lightweight platform that connects and controls RGB devices across brands in one seamless experience. Our software integrates directly with hardware to deliver real-time lighting effects, game integrations, and system-wide synchronization - without the bloat and instability of traditional vendor tools. We support a growing ecosystem of keyboards, mice, fans, RAM, GPUs, cases, and more, turning disconnected components into a cohesive system. Under the hood, we’re solving hard problems in hardware abstraction, reverse engineering, device communication, low-latency rendering, and cross-platform performance. We operate at the intersection of embedded systems and consumer software - building infrastructure that millions of PC gamers rely on daily. Our mission is simple: make RGB devices just work.

We understand and share the passion for gaming better than anyone else because we, too, are dedicated gamers on a mission to cut through the flash and hype. We bring cutting edge products to life that meets real needs. We believe in creativity and imagination, in being true to gamers and ourselves and displaying the same killer instinct in our work as we do when we game.
