OnTheGo Platforms has launched a new type of interface for Smart Glasses, called Ari (Augmented Reality Interface).
The company points out that “Voice and touch control work well on smartphones, but smart glasses require a new, intuitive interface.” The companies Ari SDK uses a single outward facing camera to track a user’s hand motions and gestures, enabling the user to interact naturally with the content being displayed in front of them. The SDK allows developers to move beyond voice control and a touchpad on the side of the glasses.
Ari is built on top of the Android OS.
