Problem
Existing mobile augmented reality (AR) applications often lack intuitive and precise control mechanisms, limiting the potential for complex spatial interactions. Current input methods, such as touchscreens, can obstruct the user's view and lack the tactile feedback necessary for a seamless AR experience.
Solution
Litho provides a wearable Bluetooth controller that enables precise interaction with AR environments. The controller, worn between the index and middle fingers, features a capacitive touchpad, motion sensors, and haptic feedback. Paired with the Litho SDK, developers can create AR applications with intuitive object manipulation, laser pointing, and spatial menu interactions. The SDK supports Unity development for iOS and Android, allowing for cross-platform deployment of AR experiences.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes AR/VR developers and enthusiasts looking for a precise and intuitive input solution for mobile AR applications, as well as professionals in fields such as 3D design and smart home automation.
