OpenARK
OpenARK
Overview
OpenARK is an open-source wearable augmented reality (AR) system founded at UC Berkeley in 2016. The C++ based software offers innovative core functionalities to power a wide range of off-the-shelf AR components, including see-through glasses, depth cameras, and IMUs.
OpenARK is a open-sourced Augmented Reality SDK that will allow you to rapidly prototype AR applications.
Process and Features
OpenARK can track user’s hand posture and surrounding objects simultaneously in real-time
Seamlessly transfers tracking result to popular game engines like Unity
OpenARK currently supports a range of depth sensing cameras, including the PMD camera and the Intel RealSense series. We plan to add support to Microsoft Azure Kinect Camera in the near future.

Teleporting Holograms
"Pengram uses both augmented and virtual reality to “holographically teleport” an expert to assist on a task involving a physical object in another location. The expert, wearing a virtual reality device, can work in the virtual world on a virtual model of the object that needs fixing, such an engine."
Pengram Wins Microsoft Imagine Cup
"Pengram, the UC Berkeley team made of student from the Berkeley Master of Engineering (MEng) program, Berkeley VR Club, and Center for Augmented Cognition, won first place. Pengram is an AR/VR platform which allows engineers from around the world to be holographically ‘teleported’ into a workspace when needed."
