The metaio Flash

I think some time ago, when I was discussing with Blake about the pros and cons of various web technologies for the implementation of augmented reality, there was his killer argument of penetration. Flash is installed on 99% of Macs and PCs – thus flash based AR is superior to other solutions, based on Shockwave for example. I still have the opinion, that some concepts with advanced interaction / gaming logics should be developed with the latter software. But there is a lot of demand and possibilities (high and rising) with flash based AR nevertheless. So, driven by many and various requests, here´s the augmented reality software provider news for today:

metaio introduces it´s BETA version of a new AR web viewer based on Adobe Flash technology and the proven Unifeye platform. It offers robust markerless tracking and, as it is Flash based, has the best penetration ratio you can reach – running within all browsers and on all platforms. No plug-in, no installation, no barriers! Finally it has a great connectivity to existing web APIs. The product release of the Unifeye Viewer Flash is soon to come.
