Apple bought a company that develops augmented reality software, which adds information or images real-world scenes look at them through a special viewer or the camera of a smartphone.
Apple confirmed Thursday the purchase of Metaio, located in Munich, for an undisclosed sum, but said what he plans to do with technology.
It is the latest sign that major technology companies see great potential in products that allow users to see the world with extra features added by technology.
Apple, Google, Facebook and Microsoft, are all working on products for virtual or augmented reality. Augmented reality can add hand-drawn sketches, navigation directions, historical video and three-dimensional images by computer generated real-world scenes. Virtual reality can make viewers feel immersed in an artificial world.
