    VisionLib

    VisionLib

    VisionLib

    VisionLib is a multi-platform augmented reality tracking SDK. With its enhanced model tracking, it enables painless 3D object tracking for high class augmented reality applications and the most essential AR cases. Extend the context, augment objects and blend, overlay or pin digital information onto reality. VisionLib’s Model Tracking is basis for a wide range of AR applications that require high performance object recognition and precise tracking, which is essential to the digitalization of industrial processes. AR transforms how we work & learn, visualizing things that would be impossible to see otherwise. It bridges gaps between digital & real to deliver critical information in the context of work. Use CAD & 3D data as reference for object tracking. VisionLib support multiple file formats. VisionLib is available as a Unity or native plug-in, and can be integrated into single apps or full platforms.
