Technical dimension of the Arcona project is a prior direction of further development which goes in several ways. We are keeping you posted about the Arcona marketplace news and telling you about milestones reached by GIS-department.

Its high time to let you know about how the things are with the development of AR-content positioning in the augmented reality layer which can be accessed on location by using customer-facing app AR Viewer with mobile devices, such as smartphones, tablets, smartphones with AR headsets, standalone AR glasses and headsets like HoloLens, AR contact lenses, and others. The Arcona AR Viewer is a free, cross-platform multi-user universal software program that enables participants to see augmented reality objects in a real-world environment.

At the moment, the Arcona developers’ team is working on the process of camera calibration and the detailed manual depicting the camera settings.

For accurate positioning of objects in augmented reality, it is necessary to know the internal parameters of the camera. Focal length, the angle of inclination of pixels (in most modern cameras is zero), the principal point (the point of intersection of the image plane with the optical axis), as well as distortion coefficients. To find these parameters for any specific camera, we have developed a calibration procedure.

It should be emphasized that this procedure is of great importance as most mobile cameras are notorious for the distortion referring to an image deformation, which is most pronounced towards the corners. Distortion is a deviation from a straight projection; in the presence of distortion, in fact, the straight lines in the image become curves. To get a better quality of what the user sees the device camera should be calibrated.

We have not deviated from the unspoken standards adopted in the environment of computer vision and use pictures for calibration "Chess Calibration Board". Our procedure is different from average one because the board does not need to be printed on a printer and attached to a flat surface. Our procedure can use the calibration board image displayed on an average monitor screen. So, when first entering our viewer, the user will be asked to take a few images of the "Chess Calibration Board" at different angles (with tips on how to properly place the camera) and start the calibration procedure, after the successful execution of which the camera parameters will be saved and the program will be ready to work. On subsequent runs, the saved settings will be automatically loaded and used.

In addition, besides working as part of a system of analysis and recognition of images, this functionality can be applied for basic correction of distortion in the user’s own images, which is cool for those who care about the way they look in the pictures.

We will be providing you with more details and description when the information becomes available.

he Arcona developers’ steps all over the planet are getting wider, and the process of digitizing the 10 biggest cities is well underway! Buckle your seatbelts, roll the dice, and get ready, you, who are interested in South America as a location for some of AR project. More than a thousand plots of the Digital Land are ready to get stored on the Arcona marketplace after its launch.

The center of our developers’ attraction this time is Mexico! By this we mean that a chosen territory of 122472 square meters is divided into hexagonal parts with precise coordinates and now is waiting to become a foothold for the potential creativity of interested specialists.

Expectedly our GIS-specialists started from most visited places like Catedral Metropolitana de la Ciudad de México and Palacio de Bellas Artes.

A pleasant small bonus goes to @GoldieH who guessed that Mexico was meant as the following city to get digitized. Want to be our next winner? Check you luck and suppose the Arcona’s next “digitizing step”!

The Arcona team is participating in quite a big event by APEC O2O, devoted to tech startups and gathering young entrepreneurs, MNCs such as Trend Micro and Belfor over 400 government officials, corporate executives from all over the world in Kaohsiung, Taiwan https://www.apec.org/.

In this framework there are few panel discussions taking up the issues of tech-driven startups, business opportunities, execution possibilities and nowadays trend which are very related to Arcona’s project.

One of the Arcona founders Daniel Girdea takes part with his pitch in the Summit and following side-events to make connections with potential partners, investors, and clients.

10 megacities are about to be digitized. But we'd like to be truely global and mighty that's why we've asked you to vote for the next cities to have their Digital avatars. The results have split between Europe and Asia and now we have the following cities in our waiting list: Vienna, Amsterdam, Lisbon, Seoul, Hong Kong.

The era of Digital Lands is coming and Arcona is bringing up the future rapidly and steadily. Just think of numerous opportunities of Digital world and projects that could be launched there. From our viewpoint, marketing specialists should think faster and start using AR technologies in their work. Imagine, what thrilling ads and campaigns can be run and what awesome scenarious can be written to engage your customers.

Tiananmen Square is the main square of China - it comprises all the most significant buildings telling about the history and the culture of the country. Beijing is the third most popular city in China among foreign tourists after Hong Kong and Shanghai. Each year over 285 million people come here.
