Zenitum is introducing their zMART SDK for mobile augmented reality applications. The SDK uses Zenitum's zFT technology for precise vision-based tracking on both pre-defined and instantly generated targets. It supports rendering 2D, 3D, video and audio content onto tracked images and allows creation of augmented reality experiences across iOS and Android platforms. Zenitum aims to help grow the mobile AR market by providing developer tools and solutions to core technology and service firms.
3. 3 Market Mobile AR is popular, thanks to Smartphones Super popular in countries like Japan, Korea and US
4. 4 Market The Future of Mobile AR will be BIG! say Research Firms around world Clearly, $350 million in 2014 $732 million in 2014 $2.2 billion in 2015 according to ABI Research (Oct. 22, 2009) according to Juniper Research (Nov. 24, 2009) The Gazillion Dollar Pie! according to ARC Chart (Nov. 8, 2010)
5. 5 Market Few Huddles to Overcome for increasing the market even bigger From “ARC Chart” Before full augmented reality can be achieved, several technical hurdles must be overcome. 1. The availability of standardized visual content will be a significant hurdle in providing robust AR experiences 2. Computer vision based object recognition and the accurate anchoring of content, must support real time processing - Peter Crocker, lead analyst of ARC Chart Zenitum specializes Sharable Standard AR Contents Highly precise Vision based Tracking Highly precise Vision based Tracking
