The Cimagine solution is the most robust AR technology available today that can superimpose textual or figural information onto the natural environment without the need for any predefined, reference marker. Through a unique combination of internal sensors on mobile devices and high end image processing, Cimagine’s patent-pending 360 degree Super Reality TM technology, ensures that the AR object is realistically rendered to maintain scale and position. This allows users to view the object from all angles and distances. The AR object can be touched and accurately manipulated on screen to define the best fit within the intended environment.
