German augmented reality firm Metaioshowcased some updates to their core technologies today at this year’s ISMAR conference in Basel, Switzerland. The company is documenting this update with out-takes from some highly technical white papers and also, thankfully, with a few video demonstrations (for the algorithm-ly challenged out there - like me).The basic gist of this update to their core augmented reality capability is that the company have been able to create AR technology advancements on 3 fronts:
- Gravity awareness
- Ability to recognize 3D objects
- Occlusionof virtual objects
