insideAR 2012: Save the Date

Greetings metaio ecosystem,

We are very happy to invite you to this year’s insideAR, and to announce the first details about what will be an exciting and illuminating event for the Augmented Reality industry. We would love to have you join us in beautiful Munich for the most professional business-minded event in Augmented Reality and mobile high-tech.

insideAR 2012 –

Register before July 31 and save 20%

In the last 12 months the outlook for Augmented Reality as a mass technology has changed dramatically.
In August of 2011 metaio CTO Peter Meier introduced the first-ever optical recognition and tracking of a real world object on a consumer mobile device, as well as a dedicated technological and professional roadmap to make accessing digital information in the real world a more natural experience.
metaio later integrated 3-D object tracking into the free version of the metaio Mobile Software Development Kit (SDK) and released it to the mobile developer community to enable and empower the next generation of mobile AR apps.
This year you will witness the next steps that will change the Augmented City from an idealized model into the real digital environment around you. metaio will show how a city, like Munich, can become truly augmented bringing digital information around you in an intuitive and natural interface. The real Augmented City will be created using more powerful but easier-to-use tools like junaio, or drag and drop AR creation tools such as the metaio Creator, which enables everyone to create Augmented Reality experiences with little or no technical knowledge.
Enter the future of the Augmented City at insideAR 2012 and learn how the digital world becomes natural experience.

The Bigger Picture: A letter from metaio CEO Thomas Alt

Dear metaio ecosystem,

The year has started off with the launch of our metaio Mobile SDK 3.1 which brought the vision of an Augmented World one step closer by being the first AR SDK delivering full 3-D object tracking.

We believe that Augmented Reality will see mainstream adoption only by combining Great Technology and Useful Content. To empower our content ecosystem we have just launched our easy-to-use tool to create mobile AR Applications. The metaio Creator provides a drag-and-drop interface that makes developing and deploying your own custom AR project fast and convenient.

We will be showing our latest results in research, product dev. and end-consumer adoption at the Augmented Reality Event in Santa Clara, where I will present and discuss the process of building a delivery stack that ensures reliable, accessible AR from chipset platform to end-user.
