Latent Technology raises $8M to change animation with generative physics

Latent Technology, a game technology company focused on AI-driven physical animation, has closed an $8 million seed funding round. Founded in 2022 in London, Latent Technology provides developers with new workflows to create emergent, real-time animation behaviors with minimal input.
