“If you will it, it is no dream.”
Theodor Herzl

Of all the factors that have contributed to Israel’s success, the central driving force has been the innovation and creativity of the Israeli people. Nothing is impossible, they say. “If you will it, it is no dream.”

From gadgets to software programs, Israel's creativity and innovation knows no bounds. Israeli ingenuity can be found in some of the world's leading products and technologies with Israeli companies on the cutting edge of a new generation of technology. Come and learn about some of the more innovative and creative Israeli advances that solve a variety of life’s little problems.

COGNIFIT

You’re a good driver, right? It’s just that everyone else on the road is a maniac! Couldn’t they all use some training to sharpen their skills?


CogniFit helps hone new and experienced drivers’ skills

Israel’s CogniFit creates state-of-the-art applications that assess, train and enhance cognitive and psychomotor abilities. One of their innovations, DriveFit, is a powerful program that is proven to improve driving skills and abilities. This user-friendly, interactive program uniquely adapts itself to the user's specific strengths and weaknesses and boosts various mental processes associated with driving.

   
The CogniFit programs

From Israel comes a tool to make the world’s roads a safer place.

 

MOBILEYE

“Turn left, turn right! Watch out for that car!” Nobody likes a backseat driver.

Imagine having a silent "co-pilot" that isn't a pest and can actually save your life, your passengers’ lives and those in your path. Israel’s MobileEye has developed a visual system - based on a computer chip called the “EyeQ” - that monitors not only other vehicles but also your position on the road.


MobilEye sensors


   
MobilEye measures the distance between objects on the road.

The MobilEye device placed on the dashboard


The chip operates with a video camera mounted on the dashboard. It can distinguish between non-threatening observations (i.e. objects at the side of the road) and imminent hazards (i.e. pedestrians suddenly crossing in front of the car). In dangerous situations, the system can take automatic corrective steps and sound warnings to help prevent an accident.

Israeli technology is making the world a safer place!

 

Nemesysco’s Layer Voice Analysis (LVA) helps to extract the truth.

NEMESYSCO

“Sure, Mom, I’ll be home by curfew.”
“Of course I’ll still love you in the morning.”
“No, you don’t look fat in that.”

Be careful next time you tell a fib.

No country is more sophisticated than Israel when it comes to developing top level safety and security systems. Israel’s Nemesysco has developed technology that not even hard-nosed private eyes can match.

Working with LVA


Nemesysco’s Security Level Layer Voice Analysis (LVA) utilizes over 18 vocal parameters and thousands of mathematical processes to accurately analyze a subject's state of mind in a professional and discreet manner.

The LVA is a highly advanced software system specifically designed to zoom in on truth verification and emotion identification. Designed for private and governmental security officials, this faster verification means a more efficient and cost-effective decision-making process.
