June is an important month for us because because we get to announce the latest new release of our Goopy Augmented Reality Platform. We couldn’t be more proud and excited to announce these new developments, as we continue to evolve the power of Augmented Reality through our platform. As of today, you can now update our Goopy app on Google Play and Apple Store. After you have done so, test the new features by jumping to our gallery samples at: goopy.io/gallery. Be sure to check out our 3D Surface Objects and AR 360° Portals features!

AR 360° PORTALS

In this new version, we launched two new main functionalities: Creating AR 360° portals and Surface 3D Objects that consist in unique new ways to allow your audience to engage in immersive experiences.

To build AR portals, simply upload your own 360° images or video assets and explore these worlds using our Goopy app. (Or custom-branded apps, which we can create for you.) These AR Portals now allow your users to walk into other worlds in Augmented Reality, by simply moving your mobile device around. Imagine jumping into virtual reality worlds, without having to wear cumbersome headsets. Your mobile phone device is powerful enough to do this.

Surface 3D Objetc Video Concept

In this new release version, you can now utilize our 3D Surface Objects functionality. Drop in any 3D object in front of you and with intuitive controls you can drag and drop any 3D model into the real world. It’s the perfect way to allow your users to interact with your products.
