VUZIX' MAXREALITY BRINGS AUGMENTED REALITY TO LIFE IN ONE CLICK

Vuzix Corp. is advertising MaxReality, a new third party software plug-in for Autodesk 3ds Max software. MaxReality is an augmented reality authoring system that allows users to interact with 3-D virtual models in the physical world and share the experience with others with the free stand-alone MaxReality Viewer application.

Autodesk's 3ds Max is the industry standard for the creation of 3-D content, used to design objects ranging from industrial equipment and architectural layouts to the lifelike animated characters seen in movies and video games. MaxReality empowers 3ds Max users to bring their creations to life on their desk using a webcam and their computer screen or in the first person 3-D using Vuzix's augmented reality video eyewear products.

"MaxReality allows anyone to easily have interactive augmented reality experiences. We now allow designers to instantly experience their 3D projects and creations instead of having to wait hours or even days for physical models to be built," stated Paul Travers, chief executive officer of Vuzix.

In just one click, designers can export their 3ds Max creations into an interactive augmented reality experience powered by MaxReality's special effects and motion control tools. For instance, an architect can view the building that was just designed in the physical space that it will occupy. Using MaxReality, the architect can then manipulate the building and experience it life-sized from a first person viewpoint and all with a stereoscopic 3-D view. In other instances, MaxReality can also be used as a training tool with technicians looking at a physical engine bay seeing how to perform complex service operations using a step-by-step guide facilitated by digitally overlayed parts and indicators. With MaxReality, the objects in one's augmented world are limited only by one's imagination. First person 3-D augmented reality experiences are available by using Vuzix STAR 1200 or Wrap 920AR eyewear in conjunction with the product. MaxReality processed content files can be viewed using the freely available MaxReality Viewer. A 30-day free trial of MaxReality is available for download at the company's website.
