In late 2011 Qualcomm, one the world leaders in ARM processors, released a series of tools dedicated to computer vision and augmented reality, optimized for ARM architectures. Two of them immediately caught our attention: FastCV, a low-level computer vision SDK that is not without recalling us of the famous OpenCV, and Vuforia, a high-level, out-of-the-box augmented [...]

A few weeks ago, we released a lightweight, minimalistic JPEG encoder in C (JPEC), that we use in our SDK to compress frames.

Many of you underlined the potential of our tech for gaming apps. Many already experienced it, both with our real-life scavenger hunt and the Ricard Mix Code app. And Volkswagen understood it well so they launched the Golf Story Game.

Some people told us: “Great, you guys recognize objects in real-time in Wifi and 3G but what happens in the tube where the network sucks?”.

Augmented reality on the iPad thanks to image recognition
Posted on 29, Aug | Posted by Clément Delangue | 0 comments
As you guys know, we are now able to perform real-time object recognition here at Moodstocks. And it opens tons of new opportunities. For example, overlaying information directly on the screen and refreshing it depending on the object you’re pointing to. That’s what we did to “augment” the Citroën Creative Tour, celebrating the 80th birthday [...]

We rely on our state-of-the-art image recognition tech to recognize the book cover itself. The invisible QR Code stuck to it is nothing but a joke! We’re very sorry if we [...]
