Research Knowlegde meets Markets – Who we are.
Fraunhofer Quality meets StartUp Spirit
Visometry is a startup and Fraunhofer spin-off founded in 2017, based in central Germany’s Darmstadt, inside Fraunhofer IGD facilities. We create Augmented Reality core technology, develop custom solutions and support our customers integrating AR and computer vision into their business.
The Creators of VisionLib
Our team is the creator of the VisionLib tracking engine, which offers computer-vision for Augmented Reality and industrial applications: it enables precise multi-object tracking, which is one of industries hottest and leading AR tracking technology currently available. It comprises multiple computer vision tracking methods around this »Enhanced Model Tracking«, which enables 3D object tracking for high class augmented reality applications.
Passion & Expertise
We‘re a young company, but with more than 15+ years of R&D background and experience, our core team has an ‘old hand’ in the areas of Augmented Reality, Computer Vision and Visual Computing. During our time at Fraunhofer IGD, we’ve been developing and shaping Augmented Reality technology from AR’s early days on.
Core AR Technology from Experts
Since then, our team has been participating in uncountable R&D and publicly-funded projects, has been engaged in a dozen of applied research projects partnering with industries, counselled working groups and gained competencies in both, core & applied research as well as industrial application. With the founders of Model Tracking aboard, our aim today is to deliver and offer this knowledge and passion within our work and products.
