Where

SoftServe HQ - Austin, TX

immersive-world-vr-austin-meetup

Inspired by the future, SoftServe’s Research and Development (R&D) team is sharing its vision around the immersive world of augmented reality at our latest meet-up, “The Immersive World of AR.” Join us at our SoftServe HQ in Austin for free food and local craft beer as we share our demos, Tustan AR and Money AR.

While AR presents problems for many when it’s applied to outdoor conditions, SoftServe’s R&D team will explain how we successfully implemented it for our Tustan app, which allows users to walk through a 9th century castle. SoftServe’s R&D team researched, localized, and solved the problems of nonuniform topology and geometry, as well as changing weather and environment conditions.

R&D will explain how we implemented visual object reconstruction, matching, and augmentation in real time with mainstream smartphones, reading outdoor objects under complex lighting conditions using the camera and motion sensors.

Attendees will see and be able to download the app and run the demos on their devices during the meet-up.

We will also present our secondary demo, Money AR.
