Tools for the Visually Impaired

We are continuously working towards developing applications for the visually impaired ranging from object recognition to navigation. See our R&D page for a list of selected publications in this area. To this end, we are always looking for partners who would be interested in utilizing our ideas to implement these tools in the form of desktop and mobile applications. If you are interested in working with us, especially in the implementation of applications that are geared towards wearable computing devices, then please get in touch with us.

Glasses-Free 3D Life-Size Visualization Tools

Araware is carrying out research and development work with a company that holds several patents and trademarks for the development of glasses-free 3D visualization tools, including full on-stage life-size 3D displays, software applications, cameras and 3D data compression solutions. We are looking for development partners, such as educational institutions, who have interest in assisting us with the development of applications based on these technologies for the use in the medical field and industrial design.

3D Internet Based Interactive Virtual Environment for Collaborative Manipulation of Robots and Other Hardware or Software Equipment

We are working with a company in Europe that has developed a unique, modular, 3D Internet based interactive virtual environment for collaborative manipulation (using augmented reality) of robots and other hardware or software equipment. The main goals of this technology are as follows:

  • Rapid Interdisciplinary Development
  • Remote Knowledge Sharing
  • Proactive Development for Future Technologies
  • Knowledge Integration Platform for Multilateral Corporation (Integration of Results of Large Scale Consortium Projects)

This development technology is in use today at European academic institutions for research and development and rapid prototyping. Universities are a key to the adaptation and development to further this concept. As such, we are looking for signing up with universities who would be interested in learning more about this technology and adopting it for local scientific, medical and industrial design.
