VIEWAR sponsors the AWE EU 2019
As an official sponsor of the event, VIEWAR presented its All-in-One Augmented Reality System, opening the world of AR technologies to web developers. Thanks to its modular structure and JavaScript-based API, it is now possible to create advanced AR functionalities faster and more efficiently, shifting the focus towards UX and content. Moreover, visitors of the VIEWAR booth had the exclusive chance to get a first glance at the newly designed developer portal, which will be launched within the next few weeks.
Engaging talks at the event
Markus Meixner, VIEWAR’s Founder and CEO also hosted two talks in front of a highly engaged audience. Under the heading “Using web technology to build AR apps” he showed that for a long period of time, AR development was only accessible to people with specific industry knowledge. However, the VIEWAR System now offers an intuitive toolset, which makes AR development, purely with web development skills possible. To learn more, simply click here.
His second talk, entitled “Indoor navigation tracking systems and their applications” highlighted the advantages and disadvantages of various tracking systems used for indoor navigation. Furthermore, VIEWAR’s unique Tracking Fusion System was presented. It combines the advantages of ARKit and Bluetooth beacons to dramatically increase the accuracy of indoor navigation applications.
