Appy Pie Launches API to Create Augmented Reality App with Wikitude SDK Today(PR Web Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) New York (PRWEB) August 28, 2014 App builder Appy Pie launches an API that will enable its users to create cutting-edge augmented reality apps with Wikitude SDK, as the SDK is now fully integrated into their proprietary cloud-based app building platform. With this feature, consumers scan an image with the app that then opens a video, map or other interactive content for information about the product or brand. "Physical objects are often static and dumb, offering little interactivity to the end user. That is why the potential of augmented reality (AR) is getting business excited. Retailers, advertisers and industry are all now using the technology, which overlays computer-generated content with video, graphics, text, sound or GPS data on to real-world images," said Abhinav Girdhar Founder, Appy Pie. The App Builder is known for making beautiful and interactive apps for all major platforms like android, iOS, BlackBerry and Windows 8 and already over 100,000 apps have passed through their doors. While the functionality of augmented reality is still in its infancy, Wikitude and Appy Pie have shown that those first baby steps might be more workplace uses than wow factors. But stay tuned, because AR's next step could be one giant leap into yet another world.
