October 14th-16th we will be in Brooklyn, NY, to build the real-world metaverse with YOU! As you know, we launched the Lightship Visual Positioning System (VPS) in May 2022, giving developers around the world the ability to tie their AR experiences to real-world locations with centimeter-level of accuracy!
