Migrating from Moodstocks: here’s how to keep your app online

Paula

The augmented reality industry is on fire these past weeks:

• Snapchat has quietly introduced a whole new world of augmented reality right in our hands
• Pokémon Go’s AR game added $7.5 billion to Nintendo’s market value
• and just last week Moodstocks, French image recognition startup, was bought by Google

As pioneers in the field, Wikitude couldn’t be more excited with all the attention (and actual usage) augmented reality has gotten in the past week. In fact, there was an increase of 417% on Google searches for the term “augmented reality” in the past week.

About 1 year ago, the industry experienced a similar hype when Apple bought Metaio. Back then, our team helped hundreds of developers and agencies to migrate their apps to Wikitude. This time around, it won’t be different: we’re here to help Moodstocks-based apps to keep running smoothly and make a switch in just a few steps!

Image Recognition and Tracking, Geo-based AR, Cloud Recognition Services and content management system: Wikitude offer a full stack of products to build incredible AR apps in no time! 

Wikitude SDK

The Wikitude SDK is the core of our augmented reality solution set. It provides developers with a powerful SLAM rendering engine for mobile apps and smart glasses.

The latest version of the Wikitude SDK includes all the features (and more) to keep your Moodstocks app amazing your users. Here’s a list of all features:

• Geo-based AR
• Image recognition and tracking
• Object recognition and tracking
• Instant tracking
• Extended image tracking
• 3D modeling and presentation layers
• 3D tracking for Unity SDK

This means you can overlay digital content on 2D images on planar (magazines, catalogues, billboard, TV/computer screens) and non-planar surfaces (product packaging, images places on objects, etc), stick the augmentation on the user’s screen and even include location-based AR (just like the Pokémon Go app does).
