Niantic Scaniverse 4 invites everyone to share their world in 3D
What if augmented reality could make us better?
Could it nudge us off the couch for a Saturday in the park?
Could it draw us into public space?
And into contact with neighbors we might never have met?
We believe it can.
Building the next generation 3D map to power spatial computing.
Together with our players and developers, we're taking on one of AR's biggest challenges: creating a new type of map specifically for AR to enable the future of spatial experiences and anchoring digital content precisely within the physical world. Leveraging the advanced capabilities of Lightship VPS and Scaniverse, we're enhancing the precision and richness of these spatial experiences like never before.
