Azure Spatial Anchors realizes what some in the industry call the AR Cloud. Large-scale, multi-user, and cross-platform shared experiences with persisted virtual objects. Azure Spatial Anchors does not just work with the HoloLens but also mobile AR platforms like iOS ARKit and Android ARCore. Scenarios include wayfinding, shared experiences across different devices, but also large-scale, persisted mappings beyond the direct sensor view of the devices. Imagine the real-world mapped in the AR Cloud for large-scale AR experiences beyond just your own device, think Ghost in the Shell and other sci-fi movies!
In this session Rene Schulte will explain why the AR Cloud is the next big thing and why Azure Spatial Anchors is a key technology and leading the market, he will further discuss how it works and showcase how to implement a cross-platform AR app with Azure Spatial Anchors.
