Welcome to metaio

As a pioneer in the area of augmented reality technology, metaio develops software products for systems driven by visual interaction in both real and virtual worlds. Our Unifeye software platform not only lets you place 3D animations directly into live video streams, but also supports the seamless integration of images from the external user environment.

By using software products from metaio, our customers can leverage augmented reality technology to increase their revenues and lower their costs. We support our customers from the conceptualization phase throught to manufacture, helping them visualize their product ideas and ensure the viability of their production processes. During the marketing and sales phase, we offer a many possibilities for consumer-oriented product presentation - even including the direct virtual integration of products into the real-life usage context. Whether on the Internet, on mobile devices, at trade fairs or as POS campaigns.

The metaio GmbH is a company for Augmented Reality solutions with headquarter in Munich. The enterprise was founded in 2003 and is specialised in the distribution of Augmented Reality software, Augmented Reality systems and solutions. Beside the distribution each Augmented Reality product of the metaio GmbH is here designed, developed and programmed. Beside Augmented Reality service and Augmented Reality consulting metaio offers also technical services such as interfering edge analysis, an example for Augmented Reality industrial in virtual factory planning.

What other Augmented Reality applications are possible? On the metaio website different examples of the Augmented Reality presentation are found. The Augmented Reality or enhanced reality is part of the Mixed Reality, however, these expressions are synonymously used. In the Mixed Reality the physical, real world is superimposed via Augmented Reality systems with a virtual world or application. Hereby the mixed reality technology forms the basis of all Augmented Reality software, systems and solutions of metaio.

In last years products of the Mixed Reality were more often used in computer systems. Particularly in the game industry Mixed Reality serves as an element. For example, movements of the user can be filmed with a camera and are transferred as an action into the virtual play and thus generate a mixed reality with interaction. Augmented reality is in comparison to the mixed reality an expansion of the viewer and user's perception. The enhanced reality can appeal to the visual senses of the person. Augmented reality or mixed reality is created by a visual computer simulation.

An example of augmented reality or mixed reality is the projection of an animated object in a natural environment. An Augmented Reality application projects an object in these surroundings, the projection occurs then, e.g., on an Augmented Reality terminal. Augmented Reality mobile can also be used. Moreover, the application of Augmented Reality online is possible. By the time large enterprises use Augmented Reality software, systems and solutions for product presentation. To launch a new car to the market, it can be presented in an Augmented Reality Event to the audience and thereby be visualised in an absolute new way. Also for mobile phone manufacturers the representation via Augmented Reality can be an enrichment for placing a product.

Which solution of the Mixed Reality or Augmented Reality is right for you, within the scope of the Augmented Reality services and consulting of the metaio you can discuss this and are helped. The metaio GmbH maintains a contented established clientele, not only from cities like Hamburg, Stuttgart, Cologne, Frankfurt, Essen, Dusseldorf, Dortmund or Bremen.
