Qualcomm is making plans to release their SDK this Fall, to improve Augmented Reality games in the Android Market. Mattell has created the popular Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em game that utilizes Augmented Reality as a proof of concept, and Unity is hopping on the wagon as soon as this SDK is released.
“Augmented reality represents a quantum leap in the mobile experience,†said Matt Grob, senior vice president of engineering and head of corporate research and development at Qualcomm. “By offering a no-charge SDK with state-of-the-art image detection and tracking technology, we help developers create the new generation of applications that are richer and more compelling than anything seen on the market today.â€
We have seen AR used in apps like LayAR and just the thought of playing a game using the AR technology is mind bending. With the SDK released, we cannot wait to see what developers have up their sleeves to bring the Android world.
Developers can sign up HERE to get on the list for beta and have plans for a developer’s challenge around the same time the SDK is released this fall.
