Bloom-Powered Augmented Reality / Gesture Recognition Partial “Gathering Process” Demo

A little over a month ago we announced our work developing an Augmented Reality Platform for the U.S. Government. While we can’t talk about contract negotiations as they are lengthy, sensitive, and tricky, we CAN share that our Bloom server is currently in an Alpha state and is already doing some amazing things. We are modeling, modeling, modeling from video and still photography and the output is amazing. The video above is a model of the front of my home. The video above represents only a single (but very important) step in the Bloom “Gathering Process.” 

We are also in the process of optimizing the code to further improve efficiencies. As our effort continues we will be entering the second phase of our program that will include the development of the user interface for the iARM platform. That user interface will be a multichannel input / output leveraging gesture (hands/hand symbols), speech, and context. Our first evaluation will be the gesture based system. There are a number of open-source and closed platforms (this, and all of these…) that will likely play a part in this system but we are always looking for experts.

Please take the time to share if you have ideas you think would benefit this vision.
