Sony Demonstrates Life-Altering SmartAR (augmented reality) Technology

Posted by Chris Williamson in Accelerating Change, Advanced Computing

For the most part, AR — augmented reality — has always been hindered by real-world markers. Some AR technologies use a clever combination of accelerometer, compass, and geolocation to work out what you’re pointing your camera at — but accurate, local use has required 2D "barcode" markers… until now! Sony has unveiled SmartAR, a markerless augmented reality technology that can rapidly track arbitrary objects and accurately map real-world spaces into a virtual 3D model on your smartphone.
