FoundAt approached Designium for assistance in integrating geospatial AR technology into their app. With a long-term focus on developing advanced features in geospatial AR, Designium has driven various innovations such as taking pictures, leaving messages, and embedding videos and soundtracks in AR environments. From 2022 to today, Designium has launched a number of applications that demonstrate their expertise and creativity in the AR space.
Applications using geospatial AR technology have been expanded to multiple platforms, including mobile apps, WebAR, AR glasses, VR headsets, and Apple Vision Pro. This integration capability enables Designium to deliver immersive, interactive experiences on a wide range of devices. Building on this experience, Designium has provided extensive support to FoundAt throughout the development process. From initial discussions and prototypes to integration and iterative improvements based on testing and feedback, Designium ensures that applications meet all performance and usability standards for a successful product launch! This collaboration underscores Designium’s advanced capabilities in geospatial AR and its commitment to delivering cutting-edge XR solutions worldwide.
Core technologies for developing geolocated AR apps
This collaboration highlights Designium’s advanced AR technology capabilities and its role as the technological backbone supporting FoundAt, which integrates location-based AR maps into applications through visual positioning systems (VPS) such as Geospatial and Immersal.
- Exact geolocation: By leveraging a precise geospatial pose, data in AR has greater accuracy, allowing users to extract greater value from their digital assets in the field, increasing the relevance and usefulness of the information.
- Versatile geospatial interaction: Users can create posts that include images, text, hyperlinks and tags. These AR posts can be shared with colleagues, clients, friends, family or the public and displayed via an AR map at the exact location where they were published.
- Improved user experience: Location-based AR maps that leverage VPS provide a seamless and interactive way to visualize data. This makes it easier for users to interact with their surroundings and share valuable information, creating a more intuitive and immersive AR experience.
Extend further AR features with Designium
To further improve location-based AR applications like FoundAt, Designium offers a variety of prototypes that can be integrated into clients’ services. New features such as integrating Immersal VPS for indoor positioning, the ability to switch between VPS depending on indoor or outdoor environments, and rewarding users with vouchers or points for visiting VPS locations provide a richer, more customized experience.
The FoundAt app is now available on the App Store for a soft launch where users can test the features and make sure everything works smoothly before the official announcement. We invite everyone to explore the app and experience the future of geospatial AR we are creating.
