New Provisional Patent Enables Large Scale Location Persistent AR Experiences & Device Tracking with Computer Vision
TORONTO, O.N, Canada - ARway.ai (“ARway” or the “Company”) (CSE: ARWY), (OTC: ARWYF) (FSE: E65) is an AI powered Augmented Reality Experience platform with a disruptive no-code, no beacon spatial computing solution enabled by visual marker tracking with centimeter precision announces that it has secured a provisional patent for its ground-breaking technology, "Device Localization based on Computer Vision and Visual Inertial Odometry" was filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), signaling a pivotal leap forward in Augmented Reality (AR) innovation. This technology is a foundational key part of the value proposition of the ARway platform and positions the Company at the forefront of the $44 Billion global indoor positioning and indoor navigation (IPIN) market. With this new patent filing, ARway continues to revolutionize indoor navigation.
This latest provisional patent filing follows the previously announced Digital Twin patent and is the 2nd in a series of patents planned to secure ARway’s groundbreaking technology. This pioneering system tackles one of AR's most notable challenges, ensuring large-scale location persistence in indoor spaces without the need for expensive retrofitting. Instead, ARway's patent-pending technology harmoniously integrates visual markers, such as QR codes or other identifiable 2D objects in the physical environment, with an online map database. Once a marker is detected, the system cross-references this with the digital map, determining the device's physical location. From this point onwards, the device tracks its movement using visual-inertial odometry (VIO), thus maintaining a continual location estimate. To account for variances in sensors and technologies available on individual devices which can range from cell phones and tablets to headsets and smart glasses, the ARway system seamlessly blends computer vision and odometry techniques by identifying additional visual markers in the space. This enables AR location persistence in large spaces like factories, malls, airports and university campuses.
