Manufacturer’s Description

The Wrap™ 920AR augmented reality eyewear and maxReality™ plug-in for Autodesk® 3ds Max® empower you to turn your desktop into a “HOLO-Deck”.

Wrap 920AR

The Wrap™ 920AR augmented reality eyewear bridges the gap between digital media and the real world, enabling the exciting new world of augmented reality.

Imagine looking at an object and seeing a data balloon hovering above with information automatically downloaded from the Internet. Imagine playing a game where the game characters appeared, in 3D, right in your living room. Or, imagine demonstrating a new product with its 3D image floating above your boardroom table where you can spin it around and allow customers to see it in a 360-degree view from any angle. These are all augmented reality applications that can be created today using the Vuzix Wrap 920AR augmented reality system.

Augmented reality is a new paradigm in how we use computers and access the world of digital media. The Wrap 920AR is the first near-eye display to both capture and display images in either 2D or 3D, ushering in a wave of new games and applications in ways previously only dreamed of or watched in movies.

maxReality

maxReality™ is an optional Autodesk® 3ds Max® plugin that allows you to launch an augmented reality interactive 3D experience of your 3D model right onto your desk, with the click of a button.

Combined, Vuzix Wrap 920 AR glasses and maxReality become a virtual “HOLO-Deck” on your desktop. With the click of the mouse, you can launch an interactive view of your 3D Studio Max and 3D Studio Viz model, in stereoscopic 3D. Whether you are a 3D Modeler or Architect, it is now possible to interact and experience your models in the real world and in real time.
