ARKit and HTC Vive Introduce Mixed Reality to iPad

The ARKit platform recently wheeled out by Apple is calling the shots in the technological space. They actually project the future of mixed reality. Both amateurs and experts can have an easier and interesting experience, thanks to the augmented reality developer application with minimal complexities. Recently, we featured some of the best creations developed using the intuitive software in a previous post.

Seemingly though, it appears that the list may not have exhausted all dimensions as required. A video posted on Twitter by an NY-based reality developer clearly underpins this. In the video, one of the custom avatars is viewed drawing a tilt Brush-esque painting right at the center of the office. Interestingly, once the camera turns right, a person inside the HTC Vive is revealed as the real artist.

The unique aspect of the Apple’s ARKit is that it beats the conventional VR studios that display individuals in their virtual environments. In fact, the application transforms digital elements from the virtual domain into reality. Actually, in the covered video, Avatar mimics the actions of the real artist in reality and in real-time. The painting also confirms the capacity of the application to bring digital elements from Virtual Reality to the reality. Also, several viewing options are functional, paving way for the capacity to reposition or scale visuals.

It hasn’t still been confirmed when the prototype experience will play out in the public gallery basing on the short video, though its already uncovered that it will provide a whole new perspective with regard to how to view VR content outside a headset. We’ll keep pulses with the exciting concept as it develops. Normal VR has given rise to other Virtual Reality Applications like the open-source drum Keyboard as well as the Deluxe Chaperone 3000 VR border system.

A superb interface for a 120″ video-wall, to read sensor outputs.

A software interface specially developed for a well-known university in Abu Dhabi, to be displayed on the video wall which was integrated at the same location. The Software reads data from three different kinds of sensors – biometric, location and environmental. The resolution has been set to match the video wall screen size, four widgets are showing the information from sensors and reading live data.

The requirement was roughly told  us that have they needed a software or more of an interface that could actually show that outputs of sensors. This lab is a SMART technology lab, where they have many sensors along with  some proprietary software programs that gather the output data.

The challenge was to query the databases of the three sensors since each had their own unique db, and of a different kind. The interface was designed here in Abu Dhabi, and the four widgets that you see on the screen are actually pulling live data from the sensors. My partner company in India helped us with the backend development, using the node.js framework to program these widgets you see in the pictures.
