It combines 2D digital maps with augmented reality (AR) guidance, offering wayfinding across web, mobile, and touchscreen kiosks from a single configuration.
The system is aimed at meeting demand for intuitive navigation in large venues such as airports, malls, campuses, and events.
Users can search for points of interest on 2D maps and receive real-time, point-to-point routing that updates based on their movement, creating a "blue-dot" indoor navigation experience.
The platform supports iOS, Android, WebGL browsers, and kiosks, and allows operators to switch between 2D and AR-based guidance from the same map setup.
For commercial users, the feature includes monetization tools such as premium placements, sponsorship options, and visitor analytics.
Nextech3D.ai pointed out that most navigation providers focus on either 2D or AR, while ARway’s solution combines both in a flexible, scalable format suited for multiple platforms.Top of FormBottom of Form
"With Interactive Maps, we've blended MapD's proven mapping engine with ARway's advanced spatial computing to offer venues a choice: traditional map or augmented reality-no need to pick just one," Nextech3D.ai CEO Evan Gappelberg said.
"This hybrid navigation approach is about simplifying deployment and accelerating ROI for our partners across industries."
