Kudan Announces Augmented Reality Support for Unity®, the Leading Mobile 3D Game Industry Software
BRISTOL, England, November 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
Kudan, the Augmented Reality software provider, release a version of their AR Engine
that unlocks the potential for over 4.5 million Unity(R) developers to integrate
professional Augmented Reality into their games and apps.
The Kudan AR SDK has solved some of the biggest challenges with Augmented Reality
today. Until now apps have generally been reliant upon expensive data connections, a
problem that Kudan neatly avoids with the ability to store assets and recognize hundreds
of images locally on the device. 3D content can be highly realistic, with multi-million
polygon models and HD videos.
Next-generation features of the Kudan AR SDK include the ability for developers to add
occlusion to real world objects, adding depth and interactivity to a scene.
The SDK also offers a capability to position AR content on any surface. Known as
Markerless Tracking, this is a new type of AR that doesn't require a trigger image or
location, allowing for AR anywhere, anytime.
The magic of the augmented reality can now be easily added to new or existing Unity(R)
projects. Unity(R) customers include Cartoon Network, Coca-Cola, Disney, Electronic Arts,
LEGO, Microsoft, NASA, Nexon, Nickelodeon, Square, Ubisoft and Warner Bros.
Kudan CTO, John Williams says, "The Unity plugin is another milestone in the
development of our engine and represents an important step towards the continued growth of
our developer ecosystem. We're committed to providing the millions of Unity developers a
professional solution with which to enable AR in their games and apps."
Unity(R) is the game developer's software of choice in every major market in the
world. An overwhelming majority of the top-grossing 3D mobile games made with third-party
tools are created using Unity Technologies' engine.
The fully featured Kudan AR Engine is a relative newcomer onto the scene, arriving at
a time of great disruption in the AR software provider landscape. With Apple Inc.'s buyout
of Metaio and Qualcomm's sale of the Vuforia platform, developers have been faced with
some difficult choices.
The lightweight Kudan AR Engine Unity Package is available to download, for free, at
the Kudan Website:
