Graziano Terenzi

Hi All,

I'm pleased to announce that we have just released the new version of the ARmedia Augmented Reality Plugin for SketchUp that supports Geo-location.

The plugin works in association with the new version of the ARplayer for iOS. By means of the new ARPlayer for iOS users can now choose geo-location as a visualization option for their projects. This feature allows to use GPS coordinates to locate a 3D model/animation on the earth’s surface. The software then tracks the 3D model coordinates in the real space using a suitable sensor fusion technique. This makes it possible to display virtual models in the real world without any marker. In addition, users can freely move virtual models in the real environment using an intuitive interface to best fit them to their view.

The Geo-localization feature extends the spectrum of visualization possibilities of the ARplugin in many application domains, including architecture, engineering and cultural heritage. The Geo-location feature is available in the ARplugin PRO v2.2
