instantreality - advanced mixed reality technology
The instantreality-framework is a high-performance Mixed Reality (MR) system, which combines various components to provide a single and consistent interface for AR/VR developers. Those components have been developed at the Fraunhofer IGD and ZGDV in close cooperation with the industry.
The framework provides a comprehensive set of features to support classic Virtual Reality (VR) and advanced Augmented Reality (AR) equally well. The goal was to provide a very simple application interface while still including the latest research results in the fields of high-realistic rendering, 3D user interaction and total-immersive display technology. The system design includes various industry standards, like VRML and X3D, to easy the application development and deployment.
