Vuzix and Metaio have announced yesterday at the Game Developers Conference an accessory kit for the Vuzix VR920 eyewear. The kit contains a clip on camera (named CamAR) for VR920, which allows the user to see the real world while wearing those goggles, and PhasAR, which is some kind of three-dimensional, six-degrees-of-freedom joystick, in order to interact with the augmented objects. Currently the system looks for fiducial markers, but theoretically, it shouldn't be limited to only those.
The full press release is here. So, good news for Noha who doesn't need to wait for Vuzix's AV920 Wrap, to play with AR goggles, but of course, he didn't wait and implemented his own version of AR kit for VR920 a while ago. Updating the score board: Metaio: 2, Total Immersion: 2.
We, at Augmented Times, believe that augmented reality (AR) is the next big paradigm shift. Connecting the world wide web with the physical world and the many objects, places and humans it contains, AR is both a disruptive technology and an exciting vision of the future.
This blog's goal is to document AR taking over our lives, but it needs your help. Have an augmented reality related news or story? Published an interesting paper about AR? Have something to say about this site or the AR community in genereal? Tell us about it, at rouli.net ~at~ gmail.com
