Project Chalk creates a new way to interact on video chats. Now, PTC's Vuforia augmented-reality software means you can at least show up virtually. The company on Wednesday demonstrated a new Vuforia-based app called Project Chalk that lets you interact with others through video calling. The twist is that you can draw on your phone or tablet screen using your finger or a stylus to show someone where to plug in a cable or how to solve a math problem. If you're the one giving assistance, what you see on your screen is what the other person is pointing a phone's camera at. You can create digital notes and drawings over an image. When your contact looks at the phone, the annotation show up as if it's stuck to the object itself, exactly where you made the scribble.

The service represents an easily understood and practical benefit of augmented reality, a hot trend that overlays digital images on the real world using special headsets or your own phone, Many iphone 6/6s plus twinkle stardust case of the early examples of popular AR include games like Pokemon Go or filters and lenses that go over your face on Instagram or Snapchat, But PTC's Vuforia is part of a new wave, including heavy hitters like Google, that want to make the technology more useful to you, The idea of AR with Project Chalk is that the annotations are aware of your movement, No matter how your contact waves their phone or tablet, what you draw stays virtually fixed on the device you were annotating, If you draw a circle around a button on a TV remote, it will remain around that remote even if your grandma gets up and walks around, Your contact can even put the phone down, pick it up later and still see your notes (as long as you're still on the video chat)..

AR is expected to be a huge market. ABI Research predicts that the industry's revenue -- combining consumer and business software and hardware -- will total $96 billion in 2021, up from $1.4 billion this year. An important factor in how big the market will get is content, said ABI Research analyst Eric Abbruzzese. "For AR on consumer devices, we haven't seen much yet," he said. Even Apple CEO Tim Cook is excited about AR. Earlier this year, he compared the technology to the impact of the smartphone on the world's population.

"We don't have to think the iPhone is about a certain demographic, or country or vertical market: it's for everyone," Cook said during an interview with The Independent, "I think iphone 6/6s plus twinkle stardust case AR is that big, it's huge."With Project Chalk, you can help your kids with their homework when you're not physically there, Vuforia started as a project at mobile chip giant Qualcomm before being sold in late 2015 to PTC, an internet of things software maker based in Needham, Massachusetts, Vuforia software enables developers to create AR apps, More than 350,000 developers have registered to use Vuforia, They have built over 40,000 AR apps available today -- like Lego's Nexo Nights game or Mattel's View-Master Destinations app, There are another 45,000 apps currently in development..

Project Chalk is the first Vuforia-based app specifically for consumers, but PTC is opening up the project's capabilities to other developers, as well. This means an internet service provider, for instance, could offer a video chat app to troubleshoot your home broadband problems, or tech support could show you how to operate your cable box by sketching words and instructions that appear on your screen. The app -- which doesn't yet have an official name -- will become available this summer to people who sign up for the early access program. The app is expected to hit the Apple App and Google Play stores this fall. There are plans to support Amazon's flavor of Android, as well as Windows.
