Hillcrest Targets Augmented Reality Market

February 22, 2013 |
ROCKVILLE, Md., and BARCELONA -- Hillcrest Labs today announced the integration of its Freespace(R) MotionEngine(TM) Mobile motion control software with the VENTURI project, the scientific project developing a next-generation augmented reality (AR) paradigm. MotionEngine Mobile’s responsive and precise motion control enhances the VENTURI user experience with smoother images, quicker response, and more accurate motion tracking.

“We are committed to bringing together the best technology in the industry to move augmented reality from concept to reality, and see Hillcrest’s Freespace MotionEngine as a key part of that solution,” said Paul Chippendale, researcher at the Bruno Kessler Foundation and coordinator of VENTURI. “Whether exploring virtual reality worlds, enhancing mapping and indoor navigation, or simply finding the nearest coffee shop, we believe Hillcrest’s high performance motion technology will enhance our current data set to create a pervasive, user-centric AR paradigm.”
