Qualcomm Vuforia is a mobile vision platform that enables apps to see and connect the physical world with digital experiences that demand attention, drive engagement, and deliver value. Vuforia leverages Qualcomm’s mobile technology leadership and provides best-in-class augmented reality experiences by delivering interactive 3D graphics, touch, video, and audio features to bring movie magic and computer graphics to mobile apps. The Qualcomm Vuforia SDK is available for download here.

Vuforia delivers best-in-class computer vision capabilities and a broad range of options for creative empowerment, including simultaneous tracking of multiple targets, video playback, virtual buttons, background effects and occlusion management (“X-ray vision”). It delivers robustness to ensure that app experiences work the first time – and every time. Vuforia 2.8, released in Fall 2013, added extended tracking, Java APIs and cloud-based content hosting. The new Smart Terrain feature (available in Spring 2014) uses advanced 3D geometric mapping techniques to see and reconstruct environments in real-time, giving apps the intelligence to interact with various objects and surfaces. Vuforia is supported by a global ecosystem of 95,000+ developers and has powered 8,500+ commercial apps globally.
