13th Lab

13th Lab was a Stockholm-based computer vision startup founded in 2012 that built SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) technology for mobile devices, letting phones detect and track 2D and 3D objects through the camera in real time. Its products included the PointCloud iOS SDK, the PointCloud library, and the Minecraft Reality app. Backed by Creandum, GP Bullhound, and angel investor Gustav Soderstrom, the company was acquired by Oculus VR (Facebook) in December 2014 for a reported SEK 195M (~$25M), where its team went on to develop standalone inside-out tracking for VR headsets (Oculus Insight). 13th Lab no longer operates as an independent company and publishes no live website, developer portal, or API surface; this profile is retained as a historical identity record.

13th Lab is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Computer Vision, SLAM, Augmented Reality, and Mobile.

Markets this provider is in provisional

The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.

Market	Position	Depth	Registered MCP server	Declares compatibility
XR & Graphics (XR, 3D, GPU graphics)	undeclared	-	-	-
ONVIF Video Analytics (video surveillance, edge cameras, computer vision)	undeclared	-	-	-
Mobile SDK Publishers (Play SDK Index, CocoaPods, ADA certification)	undeclared	-	-	-

Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.
