mixare Free Open Source Augmented Reality Engine

Posted: September 12th, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: Browser, Camera based, Google Android, Open Source, Platform | Tags: , , | 2 Comments »

Mixare has been born! A Free Open Source Augmented Reality Browser, which is published under the GPLv3. At the moment mixare is available for the Android platform. It works as a completely autonomous application and is available as well for the development of own implementations.

This is great news for the community and the users! I am very happy that we finaly are going to get the “Linux” of Augmented Reality browsers.
All platforms up until now are actualy NOT browsers. They are of the same basis of the historical ”Vodafone Live” idea.
Which mean you can get listed in the “browser / platform” if Vodafone accepted you and you would do ref share and their content standards.

mixare Demonstration in Appiano (South Tyrol)

The web as we know it today doesn’t work like this. A consumer has a browser and is able to browse (type in an adres or use links) to navigate to content of there liking.
Direct to the producer of that content without interference. We aren’t there yet, but this is a very big step in the right direction.

Lets hope that the Firefox version of unbranded browser will be started by Mozilla or some other foundation (Apache, WebKit.org).
About Mixare, have fun with in you own Android apps. Ik will try to build something for fun.

“#Wikitude goes Silicon Valley http://bit.ly/djsoC3 ”
That message was in my twitter stream this morning.
http://twitter.com/wikitude/status/10815530203

Apperantly the guys from Mobilizy are getting the assistance of the chamber of commerce in Austria (Wirtschaftskammer) to go to Silicon Valley.

Check the source article more…..

Martin Lechner lead developer of “Mobilizy” sees this as a springboard into the American market, “because, of course, Silicon Valley still for software companies is the measure of all things. And the closer the Silicon Valley, the easier it is doing as a company and potential customers attract investors to shore. “
