Ubiquity6 launches Display.land app to capture, edit, and share augmented reality spaces
[PhilNote: how will this impact 6d.ai?]
Ubiquity6 is launching Display.land, an augmented reality app that lets people capture the world around them, edit and mash it up, and then share it with other people.
With this merger of physical and digital worlds, reality becomes a canvas for creative people to decorate with virtual imagery. The app is available on iOS and Android, and it uses the graphics processing power of smartphones and photogrammetry, or precisely interpreting and stitching together photos to get a sense of space, to do its work. It also taps Ubiquity6’s cloud servers.
With Display.land, your camera becomes a scanner for the world.
“Anybody with a smartphone can convert a real-world location into a shared digital space, precise to a few centimeters. You can then create 3D interactive experiences in those spaces, almost like using a game engine, but with no need to become a professional game developer. And you can share it with whoever you like. This is really just the beginning of what we can do.”
Since launching in beta, Midha said the Display.land community map has grown as users have shared thousands of real-world spaces in over 50 countries, from graffiti-filled streets in Barcelona and coffee shops in Tokyo to secret gardens in London and underground bunkers in Sausalito.
