LusoVu

LusoVu

LusoVU is a Spin-off of LusoSpace (www.lusospace.com) which inherits from its mother company a deep knowledge in state of the art technology and a DNA of quality solutions. LusoVU designs, develops, prototypes, integrates and produces Augmented Reality hardware and software solutions based on its acquired disruptive concepts that will enable it to reach beyond current paradigms of communication. Our Mission, Vision and Values will demonstrate our drive and our goals: Mission: To increase life by connecting people beyond the human senses. Vision: To be the catalyzer of the new human interaction paradigm. Values: PII, the AUGMENTED magic PI number Passion to do great things for great people Imagination to do special things for special people Integrity to do the right things for the right people LusoSpace’s work in Augmented Reality started in 2005 with a study to identify new means of communication for astronauts. By 2007  LusoSpace created its first Head Mounted Display prototype for Augmented Reality applications. Since then LusoSpace has continued its investment having achieved a totally disruptive optical solution named Lisplay™ (patent pending). While there is still development work to be done (full color, higher resolution, even  wider field of view), the first Lisplay™ proof of concept is now available and will be on show at AWE2014. Participants will be able to witness the wide field of view, lightness, low power consumption amongst other groundbreaking possibilities. The Lisplay aims at being the augmented Reality HMD holy grail; the solution puts the lens and the display in front of the user’s eye, being transparent, as thin and light allowing for the next gen HMDs to be quite similar to normal glasses. In fact the whole concept is even capable of being placed ON prescription glasses! Visit us at booth 96 on the digital eyewear pavilion and take a peek at what the future will bring!  www.lusovu.com...

OARN

OARN

The Ontario Augmented Reality Network (OARN) is a collaboration of universities, private-sector developers, cultural agencies, trade associations, local government, and business generators dedicated to building and expanding the Augmented Reality sector.  A gap currently exists in AR development; no one location yet dominates this young sector, giving Ontario the opportunity to take the lead in AR development rather than being left behind. http://www.oarn.net/...

Percussa

Percussa

AudioCubes are smart wireless light-emitting objects, capable of sensing each other’s location and orientation, as well as distance to each other and objects nearby (e.g. your hands). AudioCubes are used by artists around the world for sound design, composition, live performance, music education, interactive installations, music therapy, and many other projects. AudioCubes are a “Tangible User Interface”, a new type of computer interface in which multiple objects are used together to carry out a task on a computer or mobile device, rather than pointing and clicking or touching displays to carry out tasks. Data or functions can be linked to AudioCubes, after which you can work with the data or functions simply by placing AudioCubes next to each other. AudioCubes were first developed and designed in 2003 by Bert Schiettecatte, and were launched in 2007. Since then, AudioCubes are in use by thousands of professionals around the world. New software applications are in constant development for AudioCubes. All software is free. http://percussa.us/...
