Thanks Brad! We’re really excited to launch Bridge - the Occipital team has worked on the hardware and software that powers it for over two years. Even before we launched Structure Sensor, we wanted to bring mind blowing augmented and mixed reality to mobile devices. Bridge is the culmination of years of work (that includes launching Structure Sensor) to create a complete hardware and software stack that makes this possible. Bridge is launching as a developer platform for those creators that want to take a crack at building mixed reality for mobile devices first. And, beyond mixed reality, we’ve also designed it to be a stellar device for creating and consuming mobile virtual reality - including inside-out 6-DoF positional tracking and obstacle avoidance. We’re excited to be able to make this kind of system available now, and we look forward to working with developers to usher in a mixed reality future faster. We’re happy to answer any questions the Product Hunt community has!

@vikasreddy I am starting my journey in VR/AR and testing products for kids and families. Definitely in a price point I will likely buy. Are you guys going to be at CES?

Happy to see that the iPhone finally gets some innovative VR love. The Structure Sensor surely has an application for the visually impaired, which is exciting. See also, steampunk heaven. Minneapolis peeps: invite me over to see your aquarium no I mean your Bridges?

@kkdub One of the very first apps ever created on Structure SDK was meant to use a depth map to provide audio clues for the visually impaired. Check it out:

Nice, synchronicity. I was looking for something exactly like this today, and didn't see anything that was compelling enough and aesthetically pleasing enough. Good thing I don't have to wait. Ordering now. Will give valuable feedback throughout the use of this product. Best, Kenny

I'm curious why they went the iPhone route. I'm warming up to VR in higher resolutions I can't imagine having to go back to Oculus dk1 resolutions, and this looks like it's lower then that.

@scottloader The effective resolution of Bridge is a little higher than a DK1, but a little lower than a CV1, due to the iPhone's screen. We considered the iPhone "Plus" models, which would raise the resolution and FOV, but the weight was considerably higher and we opted to start with the 4.7-inch models for comfort. With Bridge Engine, we render at the screen's full native resolution (no upscaling, etc), to maximize use of every pixel, and images are quite crisp.

Incredible product, congrats on the launch! I'm excited that you went down the iPhone route, I think that's the most accessible way to get developers on board with 6DoF tracking. Totally awesome.

@tombielecki Thanks, Tom. We saw that there was a gap for a truly great VR experience for iOS (not to mention mixed reality). We're eager to get developers building on the platform.
