TrackAR
Spatial tracking for AR/VR experience
with Dynamic Vision Sensor (DVS)
ROLE
Visual mockups for developing technology components, demo prototypes, video creating/editing
As a lead designer, worked with the project leader, project manager, and SW engineers
DURATION
Create and develop from April 2017 ~ Nov 2018
Project Introduction
Researched and developed a mobile device with visual intelligence and spatial awareness for the next generation of mobile experience. Key features of low-powered, lightweight sensor, inside-out camera tracking system with Dynamic Vision Sensor(DVS)
Challenges
-
Low-power and lightweight sensor-based AR technology for the widespread use cases
Logo Design
The logo shape represents a vision tracking based DVS camera. And the center diamond is especially pointing out the core camera pose which enables AR/VR application to estimate the position.
Technology demo application
Ver 1.0 - Plane Detection & 3D Object Positioning Experience
This prototype shows the integration of DVS spatial tracking, plane detection, and 3D object positioning in App. The simple user interface enables to show the development process of our technical feasibility.
