Sony Develops Integrated Augmented Reality Technology

Sony has developed integrated augmented reality technology called as “Smart AR.” When capturing visuals through a camera, the technology enables additional information to be displayed on the device’s screen, such as virtual objects, images or text.

The technology employs the markerless object recognition, forgoing any requirement for special markers such as 2D barcodes. The object captured by the camera is quickly recognized and can be tracked at high-speed along with the movement of the camera, as it is displayed over the actual 3D space.
