AUGMENTED REALITY:
SMART INTERACTIVES:
- DEVELOPMENT … We’ve been rapidly adding resources and building a pipeline of both Augmented Reality and other interactive products for iPads and iPhones, as well as Android devices, for use in trade shows, museum exhibits, and presentations.
- R&D … Along with creating our first Kinect exhibit, we’re trying out new product ideas built with Microsoft’s Kinect camera.
- UPGRADE … Responding to user interaction studies for the augmented reality brain exhibit at Chicago’s Museum of Science & Industry, Perfect Prototype helped upgrade on-screen instructions and graphics to enhance the exhibits’ visual impact.
- CHALLENGE … How to track museum visitors with smartphones moving around a multi-floor building and let them link what they are viewing to supplementary audio/video, games, and other value-adding apps on their phones.
- DEVELOPMENT … Matt Browning is developing a major upgrade to the tracking OS software used to power the Lynch Exhibit sliding monitor (IWall).
Additionally, we’re building a prototype of a patented mobile video device for the sports industry.
- EXPLORATION … Cost-effectively scanning small, high-gloss products into a 3D format and converting the results to augmented reality or other 3D presentations.
