新しいARの提携発表が日本@東京で行われた。そして、この話題は世界に広まった。ARの利用がこれでますます増えることだろう。

TOKYO, Dec 15, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- After the acquisition of equity stake in Total Immersion in July 2011, KDDI is now launching SATCH SDK as the realization of this strategic partnership. In addition, KDDI is pleased to announce the release of several mobile applications using SATCH developed with major Japanese companies.

SATCH SDK will be available for free as of December 15, 2011 for 3,000 content providers feeding KDDI's mobile application marketplace, called "au one Market". SATCH SDK will allow them to develop state of the art mobile AR apps from a single authoring environment.

SATCH utilizes the most advanced Computer Vision features available to date, provided by Total Immersion's AR software suite D'Fusion(R):

-- Instant image recognition
-- Superior tracking ability (with or without a marker, including face-tracking)
-- Rendering capability

Total Immersion was the first company to provide markerless tracking solutions, opening the path to the most natural human-machine interactions. D'Fusion(R) for SATCH benefits from 11 years of experience in developing best-in-class AR solutions, and countless innovations setting the trend in the AR ecosystem.
