Mo-Sys partners with VividQ to boost augmented reality

The joint work of both companies will improve the precise positioning of 3D models in augmented reality devices using computer-generated holography.

Mo-Sys Engineering has been associated with VividQ, pioneers in computer-generated holography for paugmented reality (AR) screens next generation. This allows 3D holographic projections to be precisely positioned in real space, allowing users of future AR devices, such as smart glasses, to explore virtual content in context with the natural environment.

Mo-Sys StarTracker is a proven and powerful camera tracking technology, widely used in television production and other creative environments for applications ranging from virtual studios to real-time set extensions. Provides precise location of the camera in XYZ space and with free rotation.

For its part, the VividQ software for computer generated holography It is used in innovative display applications, from augmented reality wearables to head-up displays. Holography, the holy grail of display technologies, is based on high-performance computing of complex light patterns to project realistic objects and scenes, for example on AR devices.

VividQ generates holographic projections that, thanks to the localization precision of Mo-Sys, can be shown to the user in the correct place in the real environment. This is a major advance over current augmented reality devices, in which flat (stereoscopic) objects do not match the real world. By presenting holographic projections with depth, the user's eyes can focus naturally as they scan the scene.

Michael Geissler, CEO of Mo-Sys Engineering, notes that "the possibilities and applications of augmented reality in real-time devices are just being explored. We are at the forefront of camera tracking; VividQ is at the forefront of computer-generated holography, and we are excited to work together to make some of these concepts a reality."

Darran Milne, CEO of VividQ, adds that “our partnership with Mo-Sys is key to understanding the potential of computer-generated holography in future AR applications, developing experiences in which virtual objects can blend seamlessly with the real world.”
