metaio Offers juniao Social Augmented Reality Platform

Nov 17, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- metaio announced that users can now generate 3D augmented reality experiences on their iPhones by downloading junaio, a free application available in the Apple App Store.

According to metaio, junaio is a mobile and online platform that lets users create, explore and share information in a completely new way using augmented reality and location-based content. Users can place 3D objects, twitter messages or websites into the real world and then share their creations with friends through social networks.

Unlike other applications that attempt to create new social networking communities, metaio said junaio is designed to tie existing platforms together with augmented reality based social interactions. Users can insert an (animated) 3D object into a photo taken with their iPhone and upload it to Facebook, or augment images that others have posted. The technology will soon be available on other smart phone platforms such as Android and Symbian.

"metaio has a long history of developing augmented reality solutions for multinational corporations," said Thomas Alt, CEO, metaio. "With the introduction of junaio, we are giving everyday consumers the ability to utilize and experience augmented reality in combination with location-based content and social interactions." metaio is a developer of augmented reality technology and software products for visual interactive solutions between the real and virtual world. Based on the software platform Unifeye SDK, metaio can integrate 3D-animations into live-video streams and pictures of the user's real environment.
