DAQRI

Augmented reality is about to completely redefine human-computer interaction. In a few years, head-up displays and AR-enabled glasses will be ubiquitous, and anything that’s ever been on a screen will be accessible via a fluid visual interface that seamlessly appears to the individual anywhere, anytime. The functionality that today resides in a smartphone in your pocket will become infinitely more flexible and valuable once it can be displayed in the context of the world at large. Every industry will be affected by this revolutionary sea change, and our goal is to be a driving force behind it. We aim to visually connect the world around us with the right information at the right time in a way that is both meaningful and beautiful. Founded in 2010, DAQRI is a proven leader in the augmented reality space. Fueled by passion, inventiveness and collaboration, the DAQRI team has pioneered advances in both technology and design including vision-based solutions, image recognition techniques, experience delivery, and interaction design. Our 4D platform is the first and only enterprise-class cloud-based publisher that makes it easy to create, update and optimize augmented reality in real time.  See examples of our work DAQRI.com    ...
