PIXOTOPE LAUNCHES VP APP FOR EDUCATION
Pixotope has unveiled an app providing access to AR, virtual studio tools and workflows for students. Available as part of the Pixotope Education Program, the Pixotope Pocket app enables aspiring professionals to create powerful, immersive content anywhere using a PC and a smartphone running the latest iOS. Unlike traditional AR and VS, Pixotope Pocket eliminates need for a professional camera and hardware. Users can shoot footage with a phone camera while the app takes care of camera tracking, combining device motion tracking, camera scene capture and advanced scene processing. The University of Gloucestershire, a partner of the Pixotope Education Program, helped bring the app to market by having its digital media students test the service and provide feedback.
