Release of AUCTA v 2.0

Version 2.0 introduces the most ground-breaking change in AUCTA since founding of the company.

From being a native application for Augmented Reality Head Mounted Display training and hands-on interactions the new technology stack and infrastructure is built to support all devices and platforms through a WebXR stack. Multiple interaction systems for 2D and VR have been created to ensure cross-platform usability. Content can easily be shared and integrated through the web links and for the first time allows infinite scalability from the smallest team to the largest enterprise.
