About the project

The vision of an augmented reality (AR) cloud is about an enhanced version of the real world extended by persistent, location-anchored digital objects.

In this project, we adapted and advanced various components of the Open Spatial Computing Platform (OSCP) to become deployable at multiple testbeds.

We deployed the platform at the COSMOS 5G testbed and produced tutorials and best practices for building and using maps of spaces in AR cloud experiences.

We created a new OSCP reference client in Unity and built representative demo applications that allow virtual objects to persist throughout space and time.
