The Californian company Atheer Labs has unveiled its innovative 3D mobile platform. It is a prototype that, through glasses, allows you to see and manipulate objects in three dimensions..

The technology used by Atheer Labs takes the 2D mobile interface and takes it to an interactive 3D platform focusing on human actions., creating an experience that is more immersive than a tablet and more portable than a smartphone. “Our 3D mobile platform changes the way information is accessed, offering a natural interface that can be controlled with natural gestures and movements. The possibilities and benefits of adding an interactive digital layer to the existing physical world are endless., and this is the future, not only technology but human experience”, explains Soulaiman Itani, founder and CEO of Atheer.

Atheer's 3D interface is completely immersive and overlays information on users' visual fields so that it fits intuitively and effortlessly within their frame of reference.. This allows you to seamlessly interact with information by using natural gestures that do not interfere with your normal activity.. The mobile 3D platform has effects on daily activities ranging from browsing and gaming, to interactive teaching and health.

Atheer uses complex algorithms, software and hardware to provide the best user experience, combining a wide variety of patented and patent-pending innovations. Among these is AtheerCore for hand and gesture detection, and functionalities that improve visual comfort and performance by adjusting to the specific characteristics of each person. Atheer has patented Retina Mapping and Vision Optimization technologies to enhance visual capabilities and offer personalized settings and features that enable a truly natural experience for users..

This platform allows you to take advantage of regular 2D Android applications and has the ability to integrate with any operating system.. It also allows the development of platform-specific 3D applications. Atheer offers the opportunity to develop 3D augmented reality applications to third parties, allowing them to build immersive applications and user experiences. “What we are doing is so complex and novel that we had to assemble an interdisciplinary team of specialists and integrate their knowledge. The result has been an innovative patented technology that allows our platform to solve a large number of interconnected low power detection problems., natural gesture interfaces and sensor fusion, user ergonomics and UX “, Soulaiman continued..

This Atheer prototype is not expected to be commercially available until next year..
