Nimo Planet holds a U.S. utility patent for Nimo OS Spatial Workspace and Multi-Window Architecture.
The user-centric design of Nimo Core includes a trackpad and Air Mouse, facilitating access to common productivity applications on Nimo OS. The system allows intuitive navigation of popular workplace applications and supports input devices like a Bluetooth mouse, keyboard, and trackpad.
“As workers and businesses continue to operate in diverse settings, Nimo Planet ensures full suite workstations are available with ease and utility no matter where work takes place,” commented Jerome Oglesby, technology advisory partner at AHEAD and former Deloitte global chief technology officer. “Nimo Core, Nimo OS, and AR Glasses together enable work in versatile environments that transcend physical space limitations—an ideal solution for taking a large office setup with you or expanding a small desk space, especially in flights. The system allows highly productive employees to pack light and turn anywhere into the ideal interactive workspace.”
The core vision of Nimo OS is to empower every user as a Power User, using generative AI to automate workflows within the OS itself. Nimo AI is currently under development to automate OS tasks without modifying third-party apps. Built on the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) and Linux foundation, Nimo OS leverages the stability and versatility of the Android ecosystem.
