Augmented Reality, Mixed, software, product, systems, solutions, consulting, applications, presentation

The metaio GmbH is a company for Augmented Reality solutions with headquarters in Munich. The enterprise was founded in 2003 and is specialized in the distribution of Augmented Reality software, Augmented Reality systems and solutions. Besides the distribution each Augmented Reality product of the metaio GmbH is here designed, developed and programmed. Besides Augmented Reality services and Augmented Reality consulting metaio offers also technical services such as interfering edge analysis, an example for Augmented Reality industrial in virtual factory planning.

What other Augmented Reality applications are possible? On the metaio website different examples of the Augmented Reality presentation are found. The Augmented Reality or enhanced reality is part of the Mixed Reality. However, these expressions are synonymously used. In the Mixed Reality the physical real-world is superimposed via Augmented Reality systems with a virtual world or application. Hereby the mixed reality technology forms the basis of all Augmented Reality software, systems and solutions of metaio.

Over the past years metaio introduced several products in the field of Augmented Reality. Future application fields exist in the game industry where Mixed Reality already serves as an medium nowadays. For example, the user?s movements can be filmed using a camera and applied as input for a game. Thus, Mixed Reality provides a natural user interaction to create interactive games.

In comparison to Mixed Reality, Augmented reality is an expansion of the viewer and user's perception. The enhanced reality can appeal to the visual senses of the person. Augmented reality or mixed reality is created by a computer simulation.

An example of augmented reality or mixed reality is the projection of an animated object into a natural environment. An Augmented Reality application projects an object in the correct positional arrangement into these surroundings. The projection is displayed on a monitor, e.g. on an Augmented Reality terminal. Mobile Augmented Reality can also be used. Moreover, the use of Augmented Reality online is possible. By now large enterprises use Augmented Reality software, systems and solutions for product presentation. To launch a new car to the market, it can be presented in an Augmented Reality Event to the audience and thus be visualized in an absolute new way. Also for mobile marketing the presentation via Augmented Reality can be an enrichment for placing a product.

Metaio will consult you to find the best Mixed Reality or Augmented Reality solution for your application domain. Metaio offers Augmented Reality consulting and Augmented Reality services. The metaio GmbH maintains a renowned established clientele and offers solutions in cities like Hamburg, Frankfurt, Berlin, San Francisco, Burlingame, Seoul, Tokyo or New York.
