Through this app,  anyone can spatially map their location within minutes, and populate it with interactive 3D objects, AR navigation, audio, text, images and more. Nextech provides a number of created and pre-loaded 3D objects, and in upcoming releases creators will be able to upload their own OBJ/GLB files and create their own 3D objects to populate their Metaverse. Users can publish and share their Metaverse for others to experience while in the location.

ARitize Maps app has an unlimited number of use cases for augmenting physical spaces in the Metaverse, including art galleries, universities, trade shows and events, retail stores, shopping centres, office buildings, transport, public spaces, sports stadiums, museums, restaurants, rental properties, homes and more.

Most recently, Nextech AR teamed up with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for the XR Hackathon, “Reality Hack” where ARitize Maps was used as the main Metaverse platform. MIT event organizers used ARitize Maps for their participants, providing engaging event information, immersive event updates, and indoor augmented reality wayfinding, allowing participants to navigate their way around the event . In addition, hackers got access to the ARitize Maps platform, where they used our immersive technology to build their projects. A team that used Aritize Maps received the silver prize at the hackathon.

The applications are endless and applicable to all industries. This app opens Nextech’s 3D/AR technology solutions to new markets, both for personal and professional use, and provides a potential large additional revenue stream to the Company. 

ARitize Maps is the first component of the Company’s planned Metaverse Experience Builder platform which combines the mobile application with a web based Creator Portal where experience designers can author various Metaverse experiences ranging from wayfinding to exclusive branded activations. The offering will also contain an SDK which will allow brands to publish created experiences on their mobile app.
