Build experiences that understand space
Your app can guide people, recognize where they are and show content in the right place. MDK, ARDK, AIDK, AuRea and Way-Fi give you a choice of capabilities to turn location into an experience people can use.
Start with the experience you want to create
Inside a building, GPS alone cannot guide someone across entrances, floors and destinations. We offer components for location, vision, augmented reality and routes: start with the feature you need, then combine capabilities around your project. Our technology overview provides the wider context.
Five components, five starting points
Start with the feature your app needs: MDK for location, ARDK for augmented reality, AIDK for visual positioning, AuRea for AR content and Way-Fi for routes.
MDK · Location
Indoor and outdoor location for mobile apps.
ARDK · Augmented reality
Movement tracking and digital content anchored to places.
AIDK · Vision
Position and floor estimates from images.
AuRea · AR content
Scenes with objects, labels and directions; under internal testing.
Way-Fi · Routes
Paths between places and levels, including alongside MDK.
Choose components around the experience you want to create.
Combine capabilities around your use case
MDK provides location; AIDK can add a visual reference; ARDK supports tracking and anchored AR content. AuRea renders the scene, and Way-Fi calculates routes. There is no single required combination: ARDK and Way-Fi can also work on their own, while AuRea works with ARDK. The developer documentation explains requirements and connections.
Test the solution where it will be used
Devices, lighting, maps and connectivity vary by environment. Before choosing a configuration, define the service and test the components in the real space. The developer portal describes offline operation for all five components; activation, data availability and prerequisites should be checked in each guide.
Three steps to get started
Define the outcome
Decide whether the app should locate, guide or display AR content.
Choose components
Start with the main feature and review relevant integrations.
Test in the field
Validate the experience on representative devices and spaces.
