3-D image-sharing application Seene is no longer on the scene, as parent company Obvious Engineering pulled the plug on the app following its reported acquisition by Snapchat.
Romain Dillet and Natasha Lomas of TechCrunch reported in early June that Snapchat had acquired Obvious Engineering “a couple of months” earlier, saying at the time that Snapchat was more interested in the company’s computer vision technology and engineering team than in the app.
According to Dillet and Lomas, the acqui-hired members of the Seene engineering team, including at least one senior engineer, are relocating to Los Angeles.
Seene posted the following announcement on its website, with no mention of Snapchat:
After delighting millions of people with new ways to accurately capture, share and re-experience life in 3-D and virtual reality, we are working on an exciting new project.
