Virtual Reality Comes to Mobile With vrAse and iMotion
Singapore (PRWEB) October 05, 2013 -- Intellect Motion, a company focused on 3D motion control devices with haptic feedback, today announced its collaboration with Eyedak’s vrAse, which turns a smartphone into the ultimate device for augmented reality and virtual reality, as well as movies.
The two companies are now working together to bring Virtual Hands with haptic feedback to mobile devices by developing joint SDK and Unity components for mobile platforms (Android, iOS). Together, the companies will provide a Haptic mobile augmented and virtual reality experience any time, anywhere. Imagine this:
• A 3D augmented reality user interface as seen in superhero movies;
• Virtual Hands with Haptic feedback in virtual and augmented reality games;
• A virtual touchscreen for mobile apps and games, and much, much more.
Both companies are currently raising funds on Kickstarter and seeing great traction. iMotion has raised over $50,000 during its first week on Kickstarter, and vrAse has reached almost $100,000 in pledges with 10 days left to go:
