In June of 2011 13th Lab received a lot of attention from press and industry (see http://13thlab.com/company/press ) for being the first company in the world to bring the NASA pioneered SLAM (Simultaneous Localization And Mapping) technology used in Mars rovers to track 3D spaces and objects, to an iOS application through the iPad 2 game Ball Invasion. It is still the only application in the AppStore to use this technology, but today 13th Lab is about to change that by making it's PointCloud™ technology available to any iOS developer, for Free!
As expected, the technology is available as an iOS library that can be embedded in a stand-alone iOS application written in Objective-C. You'll find the library at http://pointcloud.io/.
But even cooler, and in another world's first, 13th Lab today also allows non C++/Objective-C developers to develop applications with our technology using simply JavaScript and HTML by using it's recently released PointCloud browser instead. Simply download the PointCloud browser from the AppStore, try the free JavaScript version of the Ball Invasion game that was launched in June, look at the source code on the PointCloud™ website http://pointcloud.ioand start coding your own JavaScript 3D application!
