Nextech AR Announces New Updates to Its Real-World Augmented Reality Spatial Computing Platform, ARway – Business Wire

TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nextech AR Solutions Corp. (Nextech or the Company) (OTCQB: NEXCF) (CSE: NTAR) (FSE: N29), a metaverse Company and leading provider of augmented reality (AR) experience technologies and services is pleased to announce the Company has launched upgrades to its augmented reality spatial mapping platform, ARway. As previously announced ARway is being spun out as a stand-alone public company marking what the Company believes will be the first publicly traded pure play spatial computing platform.

It is anticipated that ARway will begin trading in 2022 and that Nextech AR shareholders of record will receive a stock dividend of at least 3,200,000 shares on a pro-rata basis. It is expected that Nextech AR will still retain a majority share ownership in ARway after the spinout.

Nextech AR CEO Evan Gappelberg commented, I am confident that spatial computing is the technology industrys next big breakthrough, possibly the most important technology breakthrough in the 21st century because spatial computing merges many disruptive technologies including 3D models, augmented reality, VR, AI, and Web 3.0. He continued, Spatial computing expands the concept of traditional computing by adding a 3D objects location in space in relation to other objects or locations. During the first half of 2022 Nextech AR has been hard at work developing an integrated solution combining all our technology into one unified platform which allows us to leverage our technology, stay ahead of the curve and keep pushing the boundaries of what's possible with spatial computing. Im super excited to announce that we have integrated our ARitize 3D CMS into our ARway offerings. We now can combine spatial mapping, and insert thousands of 3D models into the spatial, creating an end-to-end solution for creators and brands that is unmatched anywhere. Not only does ARway provide immersive and engaging spatial experiences for consumers, but we can also provide valuable analytical data for brands and properties. With our ability to capture location intelligence for spatial maps, we can provide deep insights into customer behaviour and comprehensive location-based analytics. This will allow our clients to optimize their spatial maps to improve traffic, engagement and revenue, which is extremely valuable for enterprise customers who are now lining up for the full release of ARway.

ARway is a next-generation spatial computing platform for the real-world metaverse that drives new revenue for properties and brands with out-of-box augmented reality (AR) mapping solutions. The ARway offering consists of a no-code required Web Creator Platform, as well as the ARway Mobile App and the ARwayKit Software Development Kit (SDK). Creators can map, author, and publish various metaverse experiences ranging from AR wayfinding to an array of AR experiences for exclusive branded activations. With the ability for location-specific, interactive and immersive AR content and proximity marketing campaigns, user experiences are improved, user engagement is driven and brand value is maximized.

About the ARway Offering

Web Creator Platform

The Web-based Creator Platform provides 'advanced' authoring capabilities compared to the mobile app, including the ability for creators to upload their own OBJ/GLB files, and create their own 3D objects. Placing content in a large area using only mobile app required the user to physically be in the specific location which was unscalable. The web studio allows the user to place and author content remotely and at scale.

Mobile App

With the ARway mobile app, anyone can spatially map their location within minutes using their smartphone, and populate it with interactive 3D content, augmented reality wayfinding, audio, text, images, and more. Nextech AR provides several pre-loaded 3D objects which creators can leverage to populate their metaverse. The platform has a Visual Position System (VPS) which Nextech refers to as Mapping and Localization where users can map and enable VPS in any area through the platform. Occlusion, depth sensing and segmentation are also available. Users can share their metaverse with others, creating a new level of immersive interactivity for social, branding, advertising, gaming and more metaverse experiences.
