The development of augmented reality technology will soon receive a further boost after the recent partnership formed between Lucyd, an augmented reality smart glass manufacturer, and ROAR, a cloud-based AR services platform. The strategic partnership between the two companies was announced earlier in December in Singapore.
A New Integrated Approach for Augmented Reality Apps
The Lucyd-ROAR alliance represents a step forward in the development of increasingly immersive and easy to use augmented reality technology experience for retail shopping. “The future of AR is handsfree and wearable, and we see Lucyd’s blockchain vision as an ideal solution to provide seamless, secure commerce and micro-transactions,” explained the CEO of ROAR, Steve Curran, on one of the key reasons of the partnership.
The palpable result of the partnership will be a deployment of apps developed by ROAR on Lucyd smart glasses, which will offer people a more comfortable and practical modality of using augmented reality for a seamless shopping experience.
