Broadcast Augmented Reality 2: The live experience
When we were creating the first BroadcastAR experience way back in 2011, we aimed for an application that provides a great interactive experience to the audience with no barrier to entry.

AR vs. VR: Two Completely Different Technologies
With all the talk about Virtual Reality (VR) over the past 12 months, poor old augmented reality (AR) has felt a little put out when it comes to grabbing the headlines. The relentless march of innovation decided that augmented reality was obsolete, assigned to the scrap heap after someone said “why don’t you just fill out the whole camera view with content” and be done with it.
5 essentials to consider when creating mobile Augmented Reality applications
In one hit Apple entered the market for augmented reality working on existing mobile devices and it’s got a lot of people talking about the potential prior to wearable revolution.
