Do Good Research And Talk About It

As we are part of the research project AVILUS, which is funded by the german federal government, with the goal to develop, evaluate and implement virtual and augmented reality techniques to various industries, we were also part of the new media project by the federal ministry for education and research. The goal is to make the reserach in germany more visible. Said and done, here is the (german only) video. Please take special notice of the 3D tracking part starting at timecode 2.30!

metaio Is Fair

Just wanted to share the latest coverage from our technology fair this year. Of course it is not like ISMAR, but we had 180 guests from around 25 countries, 30 live-demos and a lot of interesting new ideas and projects coming up. Maybe see you netx year …

Engine In A Bottle

Tom, over at The Future Digital Life is pointing to his industrial augmented reality presentation at this years ISMAR in Orlando. As a representative for Toyota he will be “reviewing the possibilities of augmented reality in an industrial setting, including a project that I’m working on with Metaio.” To give you an impression about this field, here you can see for example a huge virtual MAN Diesel engine superimposed onto the real view within a ship. It is saving nerves and money if you catch an early view about the scenario. Augmenting the real working space can help to detect collisions and plan the assembly way better.
