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/...

An integral part of putting together excellent education and training programs is knowing about the needs of society and the economy. Ultimately, the quality of the education and training at Graz University of Technology is carried by the strength of its knowledge-oriented and applied research. Numerous competence centers, the Christian-Doppler laboratories, special research fields, research focuses, and large EU projects are only a few examples of the University’s extremely active and successful research. http://www.tugraz.at/...

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/...

We have build the first AR app with 4D captured content for iOS. We use standard hardware (DSLR, depth camera, scanner, etc) to record an actor’s performance as a sequence of 3D objects. The ultimate goal of the Human-Engine is to be able to simulate realistic humans in real-time while incorporating 4D capture data from real humans as well as artistic input from a character designer. The technology can be used as content for Augmented Reality projects, virtual worlds, 3D games, virtual shopping platforms (for example a virtual dressing room), etc. http://human-engine.com...
