\tSoftBank Corp claimed it was the first Japanese operator to join a newly unveiled $20 million platform by Niantic for creating AR-based services, as it aims to boost customer experience with more immersive content.<\/p>\n

In a statement, SoftBank explained through the adoption of Lightship Augmented Reality Developer Kit (ARDK) it will have access to Niantic\u2019s content delivery service offerings including 5G Lab, AR Square and other apps.<\/p>\n

The operator pledged to \u201cfully utilise 5G communications and sophisticated AR technologies\u201d to bring \u201ccutting-edge\u201d AR experiences, and will also work on boosting the adoption of the platform in the country.<\/p>\n

Yesterday (8 November), Niantic launched a set of AR tools as part of its new ARDK platform, targeting all developers using the technology globally.<\/p>\n

As part of the move, the company created Niantic Ventures which will invest $20 million in companies developing applications for the so-called \u201cReal-World Metaverse\u201d which strives to lay AR objects onto spaces in the physical world.<\/p>\n

Initially available features include real-time mapping using camera sensors, a tool to identify different elements of a real-world environment for correct interaction, as well as a component for creating AR sessions with up to five players concurrently.<\/p>\n

The kit is free of charge for developers of apps with fewer than 50,000 monthly active users and within the first six months for those who develop multiplayer APIs.<\/p>\n

Niantic\u2019s platform is used as a base of some of the most popular Niantic products, including AR-run games Pokemon Go [1] and Pikmin Bloom.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s move comes days after it unveiled plans to pull the plug on Harry Potter AR mobile game Wizards Unit [2].<\/p>\n
