ANTz Xr
Saxon Digital, 11 Feb. 2021.
ANTz+Xr is ANTz plus Xreality extension by Saxon Digital that support AR, VR and Mixed Reality. It will be distributed as a companion to the ANTz core app, to provide enhanced features that are not feasible for open source code, (ie. utilizes 3rd party closed-source SDKs). The pre-beta version is now publicly available (in object form) to provide access to early adopters and developer feedback. So, if you have a SpaceMouse or zSpace, then you may like to try the free ANTz-Xr app!
