Augmented World Expo (archive) » Meron Gribetz http://archive.augmentedworldexpo.com The world's largest augmented reality and wearables show Mon, 27 Apr 2015 15:47:19 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.1.42 Meta http://archive.augmentedworldexpo.com/organizations/participating-companies/supporting/meta/ http://archive.augmentedworldexpo.com/organizations/participating-companies/supporting/meta/#comments Wed, 27 Mar 2013 06:35:35 +0000 http://augmentedworldexpo.com/?p=5140 meta is a Y Combinator startup spun out of Columbia University. The meta interface brings to life the computers seen in Iron Man, Avatar and Minority Report using a sterescopic augmented reality display combined with depth input to track gestures. The interface has been in development for two years but the components have been cost-prohibitive until the last few months. With Chief Scientist Steve Mann who is also keynoting at AWE and Lead Advisor Professor Steven Feiner meta has the scientific muscle to bring about a revolution in computer interaction. meta developers are supported with an app marketplace and a matching service to connect them with professionals wanting custom apps constructed. meta has launched a Kickstarter to deliver the developer kit with $150,000 (150% of goal) in backing only halfway through the campaign.

In 2005 I fell in love with startup culture. At that time I was working on one of the first mobile QR code technologies. Our group pioneered QR use in every day scenarios, and I became fascinated in all things where tech intersects with the way people perceive and interact with their surroundings. To that end, I have studied Computer Science (focusing on Augmented Reality) and Neuroscience (because we all know where AR ends up) at Columbia University.
Since I started the company, we have collaborated with Epson and a number of other companies to create the world’s first consumer device that was built from the ground up for AR.
During the next few years we hope to open the field of Augmented Reality to mainstream, and to that end, we are running a crowdsourcing campaign soon.
Stay tuned via our website meta-view.com …
