Alex and Philipp Hertel, two former Google engineers, decided it was finally time to focus their talents on a project that interested them. They both wanted to create a new unique platform that streamlined the app creation process for sports enthusiasts trying to find stronger connections to the games they love.
Being originally backed by Google investor Ram Shriram, Sun Microsystems cofounder Andy Bechtolsheim, and the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Hertel brothers created Xperiel, a new mixed reality experience that united sports fans among the digital and physical worlds. Xperiel provides the platform for app designers, from novice to expert, to build and host Real World Web apps that essentially connects users across different hardware and software.
