In 2011 Diotasoft created a partnership with the CEA (Atomic Energy Commission, one of the biggest research lab in France), which allows Diotasoft to benefit exclusively from a unique, breakthrough tracking algorithm protected by a worldwide patent.

With this approach Diotasoft is today the only company providing its industrial clients a solution in line with their requirements:
– Precise: the virtual content is overlaid exactly where it is supposed to be
– Markerless: no need to add clutter in the environment
– Robust: movement does not affect the precision of the system

Diotasoft’s solutions are already trusted by several key industrial partners:
Dassault Aviation, Volkswagen, Safran (LPS, Aircelle), Total, Renault, Air Liquide, Peugeot, EDF, Faurecia…

Swedish researchers are using virtual reality to study how effective the use of this technology can be in making people think that their body has disappeared. The study asked participants to put on a HMD and then look down at their body. When they looked down at their body they were either shown a mannequin’s body or shown nothing at all (e.g. invisible). In both scenarios, an object such as a paint brush or knife was run against their body. Researchers found that when the object hit their body when they couldn’t see it, it tricked their minds into believing that they were in fact invisible.

This same VR experiment also concluded that social anxiety was reduced when participants felt they were invisible in a setting where they felt threatened.

Augmented World Expo (AWE) is the world’s largest conference for professionals focused on making the world more interactive – featuring technologies such as Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality, Wearable Computing, Smart Glasses, Gesture and Sensors devices, and The Internet of Things. Now in our sixth year, AWE 2015 is our biggest event yet with over 3,000 tech professionals, 200 demos, 100+ AWE-inspiring talks and over 150 participating companies. Tickets are on sale now.

Zurich Insurance is using augmented reality to train over 10,000 of its managers in over 170 countries. The tech will be used within its in-class training sessions to provide managers with more in-depth information during their training.

AR startup Spaceview won $240,000 at Angel Oregon for its AR app that lets salespeople and interior designers place virtual objects in a photo of a room. The 3-year old company beat out two other contenders in this annual competition in Portland.

Virtual Reality

HTC & Valve opened applications for Vive VR developer kits this week. Those accepted will be given a kit for free to get started on developing for the virtual reality system. Valve is encouraging all developers, big or small, to apply. Those interested need to fill out a form including a description of the project they would work on with the device.

Virtual reality goes well beyond gaming and tech site, VentureBeat, recently published a great overview of VR apps that show how HMDs are being used outside of entertainment. The list covers anything from health and fitness solutions that can cure your fear of spiders to the ability to drive “virtually” anywhere.

Swedish neuroscientists are using virtual reality to trick people in thinking that their body is invisible as a social study to see how people might be able to handle stressful situations better. The VR-based experiment asked participants to wear a HMD and then look down at their body at which time they were either shown nothing or a mannequin. In both cases, an object was brushed up against their body. In the cases where the user saw nothing (i.e. the body was invisible) the brain reacted as such.

colAR Mix is a free app for iOS and Android devices. Users print out compatible drawings from the colAR website and then the coloring begins. Once completed, the user opens the app and scans the completed picture to bring the drawing to life. Each picture not only pops off the page to come to life but also offers different actions to interact with the characters such as making a doll dance or bird chirp. Users can also take a screenshot of their colored drawing in 3D which can be shared on social media.

colAR Mix took home Best App at last year’s Auggie Awards. The 2015 Auggie Awards nominations are now open. If you have an AR app you’d like to see win this year’s award, head on over to our submission form to get started.
