SoftKinetic Introduces 3D Vision Technology for Mobile Augmented Reality
SoftKinetic makes depth sensing hardware and software for cameras but in the past the technology was only available for desktop and set-top box platforms. At CES 2015, the company demonstrated the new DepthSense 3D Time of Flight (ToF) camera using the Qualcomm Vuforia mobile vision platform for Augmented Reality experiences on tablets.
Three dimensional capture and real time reconstruction of a living room was shown at one of the Vuforia stations in the Qualcomm CES booth. This post on Venture Beat summarizes how the SoftKinetic movement to mobile platforms can open the door for more use cases.
