a new type of 3D tracking and recognition technology engineered by metaio utilizes CAD models to recognize and overlay three dimensional content onto the real world counterpart. since no markers, GPS or point clouds are required, the stability of one’s augmented preception increases dramatically, while remaining almost immune to variable lighting, glare, position, and other environmental factors that tend to interfere with vision-based experiences.
