We have successfully integrated and tested Prototype 4 of our HoloGrid platform, and the results are very promising! Integration of our previous technology and API's with LocataNet precise positioning technology helped us to achieve highly precise absolute positioning results. Virtual objects in scene are far more immersive and realistic due… Read more

As of today, 12th December 2015, our own outdoor LocataNet arena is up and running! Arena consists of 6 LocataLites which have been successfully synchronized (TimeLocked) today for the first time, providing the mobile Locata Rover unit with position information as precise as 3 mm horizontally and 6 mm vertically.… Read more
Today Locata partners have successfully set up two high (13m) masts for Locata outdoor antennas at the Polytechnic of Međimurje in Čakovec backyard. Each mast has three antennas which serve either as transmitters for precisely positioning the mobile & wearable Locata Rover, or as receivers for synchronization between LocataLites. Two… Read more
After implementing some major source code improvements, here is the video of our second development test of outdoor augmented reality system. Working principle: Same technology and principles were used as in the first test with a couple of important code upgrades & optimizations. Because of low frame rate in the… Read more
This is a video of the first development test of outdoor augmented reality system. Working principle : Piksi RTK Kit has been used to determine the outdoor real time position. One Piksi unit (external GPS antenna) was used as a base station (GPS Real Time Kinematics) and the other (rover's… Read more
This is a video of the first test of indoor augmented reality system. Working principle Two Xtion devices were used for indoor real time position tracking. Every device was located at the appropriate arbitrary place in a closed space. Inside the virtual environment – Unity 3d – two objects were… Read more
As a part of the celebration of 7th Anniversary of Polytechnic of Međimurje in Čakovec, we held our first public presentation and demonstration of a first working project prototype. The presentation was attended by officials from local government like Matija Posavec, prefect of Međimurje County, prof.dr.sc. Ružica Beljo Lučić, Assistant… Read more
One of the first goals of our AR integration is achieved. Our HMD setup can now show real environments with augmented elements. For that we have used web cameras to display real time video feed, enhanced it through Unity with virtual content and displayed it in the Oculus Rift. Integration… Read more
