I'm backlit so it looked like a silhouette but you don't care check out the view i'm here at the grand opening of the verizon application innovation center a penny to the first person who can guess where we are in San Francisco downtown San Francisco right down across the street from the Embarcadero and the day spectacular setting and this is the all kinds of tech journalist superstars walking around this is the grand opening of the innovation center verizon opened a hardware innovation center on the east coast in waltham massachusetts earlier in the summer today is the application center waiting for the demos to get started so let's take a look around so this really is a facility that allows development to develop and you know you get access to things that normally have access to it and then again we have all the bride's employees here who are experts in the field ready of expert advice as well as physical devices in some situations as well as you know brainstorming ideas and things like that and the staff isn't limited to engineers we have any engineers at your disposal awesome but there's other verizon staffers hopefully this in this facility there's a engineers is marketing personality there's a number of people years gaming and entertainment what's going on in here we've got in video we've got samsung volcom Snapdragon logo well see what's going on inside so we're here at Andrew Sophie from the verizon application Innovation Center we're in the dev lab for gaming right so I so welcome this is a dev lab this is a place where developers will be working on a typical day here at the innovation center and what we're showing you over here is the Qualcomm MVP this is a mobile development platform that uses the Snapdragon processor now set dual-core 1.2 get your herd so it represents the next generation snapdragon coming hopefully to a phone soon so Andrew we're running a 1080p 3d stream basically to 1080p streams off of the reference platform exactly so is creating to 1080p streaming after the the MVP as you said it's actually upscaling to 1080 right now as you know things are are improved to be actually fully on pulling native rendered in 1080 but right now it is in 1080 it's upscale this example here is actually taking the opengl content and being able to actually create a 3d content dynamically at the touch of a button so by optimizing for the audrina GPU in this in this development platform you're able to add s3 need you know to your game you can notice that we're in 3d here and then we can pop it off without any extra work so the important thing you know no expedition alas 'it's and create the textures for Adreno or you know create the texture of conversion utility and you know they're you already have s 3d content so no additional this is a room and you typically see configure you know for developers to come in you know work with a prototype device has something out in some hands-on time with an engineer etc we're showing you today on the lab is a samsung galaxy 10 tablet for govt you have led to its own egra to power by Tegra 2 and you're suing example those graphics are on the screen the interesting part is Raja using a Bluetooth controller did this cause to control riptides which is a method unit game and this is going to look over some of the things that are integrated into honeycomb and our good friends at Nvidia actually you know put together some great documentation to help me weed brood you know the Google documentation so you know typical thing and developed would come in here we've helped them kind of you know probable that Nvidia documentation point you in the right direction it gives them some tips on best practice things we learn along the way and in the end you know helping troubleshoot if something isn't going right so it's a you know just another day kind of around here helping you know a new new app kind of get touched a chord or to control support alright so now we're in the developer tools area you can see your lovely sponsors there and we're going to talk to Brett is going to show us a couple of very interesting augmented reality apps powered by Qualcomm yeah this is using Qualcomm's augmented reality toolkit and this game was made by the the company big player and it is a augmented reality basketball game so this is a basketball ticket and the game board is overlaid on top of that so as you see when you're moving this around it it actually reacts in real time right so this isn't just a graphic of a basketball court on the screen this is interacting with the ticket correct which is what you just said I had to say it again so I'd understand it you know i'm a little slow so fun yeah i mean you can zoom in on the guy you can see their their surrounding its built in 3d space and then it just plays as the game board it overlays the digital on ok can I harass him to make him miss a shot you might be able to very cool so this would be an idea of something you'd be at the game you get your ticket and then you know there's a little I mean it reminds me of a QR code oh absolutely but much much more interesting to look at it service on the same technology as a QR code using image recognition and then just display in a 3d environment on top of that no and just because people are going to ask you're running on a just xperia yes it's very played by senator oh the playwright ok and then in try stunt guy in charge stunt guy that this is an application that is not currently on the market but it's it's you have this little stunt man that needs to complete an obstacle course let me pull this out back a little bit surface so the point is that there's these optus different objects that you have to place to help him complete his obstacle course so I've got the little speed boosts and the ramp and when I hate go he's gonna do his thing drive through awesome so you have to move the device around to keep him you move the objects around move objects or ours yeah so like these these are the movable objects and then when you were panning the device that's just the to check out the different angle okay you can forget you can zoom in on the little guy as he's crashing and burning right away goes wild and you can I mean the same thing these are all 3d right real-time rendered so these are the types of tools access to the developer toolkit and you know support from the experts in the lab or the kinds of things you guys want to be providing right exactly that's the point is that we are providing these tools and helping the developers use them in order to create and ships excessive noise very cool I think there may be a automated reality Buffalo I don't say humph the Buffalo but you know let the buffalo roam app in our future one it will talk back about that defective heart Brett very cool thank you
