Recently, Qualcomm announced officially its plans to bring to the market an augmented reality platform and software development kit (SDK) to provide the base for a new gen of augmented reality applications. Initially, the solution should become available for handsets based on Google's Android operating system, while the SDK would arrive free of charge even for the distribution of commercial applications.
---- Qualcomm’s SDK was developed on world-class computer vision technology purchased from Imagination Computer Services GmbH not too long ago. According to
the company, “vision-based augmented reality provides a greatly enhanced user experience by allowing computer graphics to be tightly aligned with real world objects. It enables developers to build games, extend print and TV media with interactive 3D content, and create educational applications that bridge the digital and real worlds.”

Paul Jacobs, Qualcomm’s chairman and chief executive, launched the SDK at the company’s annual Uplinq conference in San Diego, saying that developers would help to define “the next generation of user experiences”.
