The War of Drones, in your living room
Videogame players around the world be warned: Thanks to augmented reality, from now on the War of Drones risks exploding into your living room. Seac02 enters the world of videogames with version 3.3 of “LinceoVR”. It is the only software in the world that integrates the functionalities of Render Realtime and Augmented Reality functionalities in a single product. Thanks to the new “LinceoVR 3.3” interface, anyone can directly control and drive the WowWee Drone Rovio, enabling all users to create a personal experience online or offline of Augmented Reality.
The “drivers” of the little, three-wheel rover robot by Rovio can virtually add 3D objects and animation to the world in which they move, which will appear in the live video images captured using its built-in WI-FI camera. Enemies, obstacles, and new armies; everything appears in the context of the surrounding environment. Thanks to the easy driving and potential of the software, all users of WooWee Drone can experience a completely new and intriguing game with an extra possibility; autonomous programming of personal game scenarios. In fact, shortly, Seac02 will publish a SDK (Software Development Kit) which will enable everyone to create a personal, interactive recreational experience.
“LinceoVR 3.3” is available from 25€ per year, thanks to the “LinceoVR 4 ALL” promotion, which at just the cost of an annual licence offers all users a full range of tools to speed up the entire creative process, and become the creators of personal videogames based on Rovio, which can be used at home or online with a common browser.
According to Andrea Carignano of Seac 02, WoeWee Drone is now very popular on a world scale and can count on thousands of users in the international hi-tech community. “This is the main reason we decided to invest in this. The other reason is its easy use, which makes is suitable for big apartments or small rooms full of furniture. What we want to do is offer all videogame players a unique experience, based on the huge potential of Augmented Reality. The ease of driving the drone and the huge possibilities our kit will offer to create videogames without programming will do the rest”.

LinceoVR 4 ALL
From designers to architects to jewellery designers, Augmented Reality is really now within everyone’s reach. Seac02 has also just launched “LinceoVR 4 ALL”, a special edition of its “LinceoVR” software, the only software in the world that integrates the functionalities of Render Realtime and Augmented Reality in one product. Now with new functionalities.
Over a year since the launch of the revolutionary release 3.0, “Linceo VR” has been upgraded and offered for just the cost of an annual 25 euro licence, offering its new users a full range of tools to optimise and speed up their entire creative process, reducing times and costs of each design.
The strengths of “LinceoVR” are plenty, starting with the models used for work. In fact, “LinceoVR” imports three dimensional models generated from the most diffused CAD programs on the market, both for the Rhino world (with free plug-in) and that of Autodesk, thanks to a tool (Fbx Importer) that recovers 3D and animated models.
Each model is then customised with different coloured materials. With a technique new to the sector: realtime raytracing, an advanced lighting technique for the realtime display of 3D objects in exceptionally realistic computer graphics.
Using the common webcam, the virtual prototypes are then contextualised in the real world with images or videos, and sent via e-mail to clients and partners, which can be conveniently viewed at home or in the office thanks to “LinceoVR Viewer”, available for free download from the site Seac 02. The result? Lower creative process and decision making times, benefiting businesses. Founded in Turin in 2003, Seac02 is among the world leaders in the sector of augmented reality and render realtime software. Seac02 provides the visualisation software and systems market to improve the quality and efficiency of engineering, marketing, sales and multimedia communication processes, offering consumers advanced technological solutions for experiential eCommerce.
“LinceoVR” is also available with certain additional components, like “Batch Render” (25 € per year), a module that enables the automatic creation of an unlimited number of images of a product from every view point, reducing creation time by up to 100% compared to other software on the market.
