Description:
Within the research in Mixed Reality during the last 10 years, the Fraunhofer IGD has developed a mobile application framework for iOS and Android devices for high-level development of AR applications. It enables efficient development of AR applications on mobile devices based on common standards like HTML, Javascript and X3D. It provides convenient interfaces and abstractions for various patterns of AR, while maintaining a great flexibility. The tutorial should introduce into the freely available instantAR framework and show the abilities and present potential opportunities in its use for researchers and commercial development

Description:
Enabling standards are essential to the growth of every market – they remove barriers to compelling and cost-effective end-user experiences and fuel business opportunities. The Augmented Reality community is emerging from pure research and transitioning to deploying real-world solutions – making this a vital time for the identification and creation of AR standards that will foster healthy industry competition. This session will explore the advantages of standards, highlight work underway for content and acceleration standards relevant to AR, identify gaps in the standards landscape and provoke a lively discussion around what standards the industry needs for strong growth - and how AR companies should get involved to help shape their industry.
