Epson announced the availability of a device plug-in based on the Open Source Virtual Reality (OSVR) platform to enable cross-platform content creation for Moverio software developers.
The integration was made in collaboration with Sensics, creators of OSVR and a leading provider of special-purpose virtual reality (VR) and AR solutions.
OSVR is a multi-OS middleware layer that is claimed to seamlessly connect popular applications and game engines to hundreds of VR and AR devices using a common universal interface. By downloading the device plug-in, Moverio developers can:
- Use Unity and a wide selection of other standard tools to create content for the Moverio platform;
- Run existing OSVR content on the Moverio;
- More easily integrate peripherals such as positional tracking sensors or natural human interfaces with Moverio applications;
- Gain access to image analysis and AR toolkits that are pre-integrated with OSVR.
The Moverio OSVR plug-in is available now and can be downloaded here. Instructions and sample applications can be found here.
