DAQRI Announces Acquisition of ARToolworks and Release of Open Source ARToolkit Pro
ARToolworks has been providing an AR Software Development Toolkit for nearly a decade and is very popular in academic and research environments but the professional version found it difficult to compete with low cost (and free) alternative software development environments. AREA member DAQRI announced in this press release that it has acquired the ARToolworks brand and software and will be making the technology and software available using Open Source. The extra features in the professional license will be valuable to existing ARToolkit customers as well as those who seek an alternative to other commercial systems.
