The Vuforia Software Development Kit (SDK) for Digital Eyewear will allow interactive 3D content to be visually aligned with the real world. This capability can enable new applications in hybrid virtual reality/AR (VR/AR) gaming, shopping, and education, as well as across a wide range of enterprise and industrial uses.
The Vuforia platform provides advanced computer vision functionality for recognising images and objects in the user's field of view. It also leverages Qualcomm Snapdragon™ processors to minimise the motion-to-photon latency that Qualcomm says is essential to delivering an authentic AR effect.
The Vuforia SDK for Digital Eyewear also includes a calibration method that enables Vuforia applications to dynamically adapt to a wearer's facial geometry.
The Vuforia SDK for Digital Eyewear was designed to converge with recent innovations in digital eyewear devices. ODG's new R-7 represents the state-of-the-art in digital eyewear with a fully integrated one-piece design, a stereoscopic see-through display system, wireless connectivity and the computing power of the Snapdragon 805 processor.

The Epson Moverio BT-200 smart glasses has an integrated see-through display system and utilises a two-piece design. The smart glasses component includes sensors and the display system. The Android-powered control unit contains all other electronics and provides a touch pad for user interaction. The Moverio BT-200 is available now and is ideal for both consumer and enterprise AR applications, including environmental games, training solutions and museum experiences.
Vuforia is also the first vision platform to enable a new class of hybrid VR/AR experiences on the Samsung Gear VR Innovator Edition powered by Oculus.
"The promise of digital eyewear is to create a heads-up display for our daily lives. While the realisation of this promise remains in the future, Vuforia is taking a big step in the right direction by enabling a first generation of applications for consumer and enterprise use," said Jay Wright, VP of product management for Qualcomm Connected Experiences.
"Developers will now have the tools required to build experiences that will drive the adoption of the digital eyewear category. We look forward to seeing what developers make possible."
The Vuforia SDK for Digital Eyewear will be available this fall (Editor's note: roughly the months in late Q3 and early Q4) as a beta for a select group of developers. Apply here for the beta.
