Zugara Initiates Second AR Campaign with Suit Against Cisco

Inventor-backed Zugara, Inc. has launched a second litigation campaign, this one over a single patent generally related to a collaborative augmented reality (AR) system where multiple users can manipulate a shared 3D model. In a new Eastern District of Texas complaint, the plaintiff accuses Cisco (2:25-cv-00437) of infringement through the provision of the Webex Hologram system and related components—the Webex Hologram capture device, the Webex Cloud Services, and the Webex Hologram App. At issue are features for displaying realistic holograms of meeting participants in AR/virtual reality (VR) headsets and allowing users to interact with 3D models of product prototypes.
