Digital Delta Design
Your clients are changing the way they communicate. Shouldn’t you change the way you communicate with them? We blend traditional with digital, and not at either’s expense. Utilizing our understanding of augmented reality, we can take those existing branding elements, and make them something unlike anything you’ve seen before. We believe in thinking differently. Digital technology has provided incredible opportunities to create, share and interact with information. It’s this capability that now allows you to interact with and engage your customers in a brand new way. If you’d like to know more about augmented reality, or how it can help you, please contact us. We’ve come from the Agency environment. We understand branding, design and solving problems. We recognize augmented reality and visual search will revolutionize the way people interact with brands. The trick is how to utilize your traditional materials and morph them into digital powerhouses using such things as AR and strategic app design. We think creatively. In this case, it’s about how your current branding elements are working for you, as well as how they can work differently for you – reaching a different audience with very little effort. We take your brand seriously, and work on it efficiently, ultimately providing cutting-edge solutions that make sense. http://digitaldeltadesign.com/...
Dekko
Dekko was founded on the belief that society is entering an amazing transition in how we experience our technology. Smartphones and Tablets have ushered in the first taste of a “Post-PC” world, where our ability to connect to each other and to our favorite online services is mobile. We are beginning to experience entertainment, contextual information & personal interactions through natural interfaces that are not just “tiny screened PCs”. Multi-sensor devices and The Internet of Things will provide the hardware foundation for true mobile operating systems. We are moving away from intermediated interfaces driven by keyboards and mice towards more natural and direct touch and voice interactions. Our most engaging sense, vision, will also experience a new natural interface, as content is placed in the world, in a truly believable manner. Dekko is working to let us see our content in the world, through a screen, not just on the screen. This will initially be via smartphones & tablets but will eventually expand to eyewear and other systems. We believe that the natural visual experiences this enables will delight and amaze us, and ideas we had only imagined will now be visible. We understand that our technology doesn’t benefit all types of interactions. We know that even iPhones still have keyboards alongside Siri. But importantly, we understand that we are standing only on the threshold of this new world, and that todays Post-PC experiences and interactions will continue to improve for many many years. What most excites us is that it is today, for the first time, that we have the mobile hardware available to support the software Dekko is building. Our core values are centered entirely around great user experiences, enabled by deep technical competence. We develop our technology to support the desired use-case, rather than trying to find a use for what we can develop. Our SDK is available now from http://developer.dekko.co. You can find a playable demo of a fun app built on the SDK here on iTunes for iPad 2 & 3. http://www.dekko.com/...

BuildAR
Launched in 2009, buildAR was the world’s first AR Content Management System (AR-CMS). The first version launched as a test to see if people were interested in being able to create their own augmented experiences. It turned out you were! So then we got busy developing a production version and officially launched the new and improved buildAR at the Augmented Reality Event in Silicon Valley in May 2011. Since then thousands of people from all over the world have created AR content using buildAR’s easy to use interface. Now buildAR has been adopted by people throughout the education and training, advertising, arts & culture, entertainment and government sectors. The latest major release of buildAR (version 3) was launched in November 2012 and once again set a new standard for AR content creation platforms. Full integration with the web, simplified editing, 3D in a web browser previews and more control over animation and interactions puts buildAR in a category of it’s own. buildAR has partnered with Metaio and now fully supports the Junaio and Metaio SDK platforms for native AR applications. buildAR are also proud to have partnered with Catchoom to integrate fast and powerful visual search into all of our AR applications. Now that this major new release of buildAR has been rolled-out you can expect an aggressive road map for 2013 with a whole new set of options that makes creating AR simpler and more unreal. But what we’re looking forward to seeing now is…what will you build? https://buildar.com/...
