Canada's Nextech AR launches beta metaverse app ARitize Maps

With the launch of ARitize Maps the company is continuing to expand its ARitize Studio by offering yet another frictionless and seamless solution for everyone to enter the metaverse, Nextech AR said in a media release.

The beta ARitize Maps app will be available for both iOS and Android. Through this free app, everyone can spatially map their location within minutes, and populate it with interactive 3D objects, navigation, wayfinding, audio, text, images and more. Nextech will provide a number of created and pre-loaded 3D objects, and creators can upload their own OBJ files and create their own 3D objects to populate their metaverse.

The navigation feature allows users to map out a 50 sq/meter area and include wayfinding features to direct visitors in their metaverse to a desired location or object. Users can publish and share their metaverse for others to experience while in the location.

Currently, the app is available as a free download with no in-app purchases and provides an unlimited number of maps for the first month; however, when the app is released, it will contain in-app purchases and monthly subscription plans.

ARitize Maps app has a virtually unlimited number of use cases for augmenting physical spaces in the metaverse, including universities, trade shows, retail, shopping centres, office buildings, transport, public spaces, homes and more. A person who is collecting NFT art can now create a metaverse showroom exclusively for their NFTs creating a special NFT showroom.

Nextech AR CEO Evan Gappelberg commented, “We are excited to launch what we believe is the first end-to-end metaverse mapping solution - which is really an all-in-one metaverse creation studio for consumers, brands, and businesses. The Metaverse is our collective future, and with this launch Nextech AR is bringing the exciting Metaverse to the market today with ARitize Maps!”
