What is Augmented Reality, MAXST’s Expertise?
Augmented reality (AR) is a technology that shows a user by applying a 3D virtual object to real world objects that the user sees and is also known as ‘eXtended reality (XR)’. For example, in SF movies, when you wear glasses and look at something, the information of the object you see is shown.
As Pokemon Go, released by Niantic in July 2016, became popular worldwide, interest in AR technology has exploded. Due to the technical characteristics that enable users to acquire intuitive information, it is applied in various fields such as medical, broadcasting, education, manufacturing, games, and advertisement.

Industrial Competitiveness in 5G era, MAXST Sensor Fusion SLAM
SLAM (Simultaneous Localization And Mapping) is a technology that makes a virtual map by detecting a surrounding environment with a sensor, such as a mobile robot or a vehicle, which can control its own operation, and estimates its location within the map.
This SLAM technology is used in robot cleaners, unmanned vehicles, unmanned aerial vehicles, and drones.
Recently, MAXST has successfully developed a visual slam (Visual SLAM) technology that reproduces and tracks an indoor space as a 3D map using only mobile device’s camera.
The scope of technology for virtually mapping an environment of a certain size has been extended to indoor spaces.
With a smartphone camera, it accurately finds the exact position and pose of the camera with an error range of about 50 centimeters indoors.
By illuminating the interior space, you can analyze the current location on the AR map and the direction the camera is looking, and augment AR contents in the point cloud identified in the keyframe.
Since MAXST indoor space tracking technology does not require a separate sensor device, it is expected to be applied to various places in daily life, such as indoor shopping malls, factories, and construction sites.
