We are pleased to announce the release of version 0.2 of the Arcona AR scanner, a solution for remotely placing digital content in the real world with maximum accuracy.
In the ever-evolving universe of XReality, the ability to seamlessly blend digital content with the physical world is the “Holy Grail of XR” for creators of immersive experiences.
The AR scanner developed by the Arcona team is a cutting-edge tool, specially designed for Metareality enthusiasts. It’s not just an application; it’s an opportunity for everyone ready to contribute to the development of the Arcona ecosystem as their own digital world.
With this powerful tool, users can easily collect terrain data, including video, IMU data (accelerometer and gyroscope), and GPS coordinates—all with a single press of the “START” button.
How are these data used? They are sent to the Arcona server, where the magic happens. The data are processed and transformed into a detailed map of key points—location anchors.
This is where it gets most interesting for landowners in the Arcona metaverse. With this map, they can place 3D content on their digital plots with high precision.
And thanks to accurate mapping to the terrain’s relief, Arcona users can interact with virtual objects in your location just as they would with real ones.
The latest update introduced a quality indication feature—it’s a game-changer. By collecting data, you’re not only accumulating information but also enhancing the quality of the future map.
The application provides visual cues to optimize the data collection process, ensuring the highest accuracy of the anchor map.
After completing data collection, the application will give you a preliminary quality assessment, which will show how well your data will be represented on the landsape map of your region.
