[ANN][ICO] ARCONA - Augmented Reality Ecosystem!

[Arcona the Digital Land]

📣 Dear friends!

The first objects of the interactive content will soon come alive in the Arcona Digital Land!

So, it's time for our landowners to start thinking about the installations they would like to place on their land plots.

Whether you are into:

▪️fantastic characters
▪️futuristic advertising projects
▪️or entire game stories

It's time to get down to business!

Therefore, we have prepared the list of basic technical characteristics of 3D models for easy integration those ones into the Arcona system. 

At the moment, we are actively testing our user application - AR Viewer.  Every day developers find new solutions and make actual adjustments for the work with graphics. This means that we will be updating the list regularly.
 
Offer your own creative projects in the Arcona Ecosystem! The authors of the best ideas will receive super prizes from Arcona! 🎉🎁

Arcona's developers have ported customized SLAM algorithms to iOS platform

Featuring Arcona’s moving forward

The Arcona developers have reached another important technological milestone on having ported customized SLAM algorithms to iOS platform. Trial testing on iPads and iPhones was successful!

SLAM is one of the main blocks of the Arcona Core library - it allows to determine a position of a device in space just by analyzing camera images.

Since the input data cannot be of the same quality all over the globe and needs to be simultaneously handling not only point and line features but also the planes in situations with a small number of points and lines.

Our engineers put a lot of effort to make the algorithms work even with not very powerful CPU's and also with low quality, noisy images.

SLAM featuring is one of the main focuses of the developers’ team at the moment, as it gives a user a really immersive and authentic AR experience. All the AR giants like Apple, Google, Microsoft and Magic Leap rely on this sophisticated technology. Arcona has successfully entered this club! 😉

The distinctive feature of our implementation is that it works even on quite old models, like iPad Air in this video (the model was released in 2013).

Since one of our main goals is to make the Digital World as accessible as possible, so we try to support a wide range of devices, not just the top ones.

Our next updates will be about how SLAM helps us with AR content positioning and the way we integrate it with other parts of our ecosystem, like GIS.

Stay tuned!

Cool! Amazing news, but this means that the first version of AR-viewer will be released on the iOS platform?

Frankly speaking, for me it doesn't matter what platform, there are 2 phones and such and such, I am interested in what system requirements will be necessary?

Yes, the very first viewer will be on iOS, we'll try to make it possible to be able to work from any iPhone. Or the least, not only on the latest model.

The Romanian technology company Holosee has become a new partner of Arcona in the Digital Land development.

The Holosee team works on stunning realistic holograms of high definition for the AR/VR industry.

💭 "When watching a movie, our brain recognizes the actor image as a reflection of the person”, says Holosee CEO Andrei Boruzesco. “When it comes to 3D models generated by a computer, we subconsciously do not consider them to be real. Holosee offers an alternative to a classic computer graphics that allows to create and use the holographic content of high definition", he adds.

💭 “Our friends from Holosee already create great content using the technology of capturing, producing and streaming of photorealistic holograms of people”, says the Arcona co-founder Daniel Girdea. “Now they are finalizing the possibility of remote online real-time streaming. With their help, we will be able to populate the Arcona Digital Land with truly alive characters. This offers our landowners greater prospects for launching brighter projects, no matter if it comes either to the games with extremely realistic avatars, or exciting promotions. Get agree, it’d be much more entertaining to be shown around some city not by audioguide but by a properly alive virtual copy of this guide. And perhaps our landlords will want to place their holographic copies on their land plots!"

📽️ Watch a short video demonstrating some results of our colleagues from Holosee job.

It looks futuristic, but the textures on the edges of the hologram look like unnatural...
When do you plan the Android version?

[Arcona the Digital Land]

Right after the iOS presentation. We will roll out iOS this December and in January our team will start working under Android version.

💪 The development of proprietary AR Viewer is in high gear. All the parts of the future application opening the doors to the new magical world of Arcona are ready to get tested together. Our engineers have started the process of assembling.

In parallel, we have begun working on the Viewer appearance, its user logics and interface. This work is being carried out by ourselves as there is a strong team of professional designers headed by Arcona's art director Yana Savinykh. Yana is a talented artist having worked for Piligrim XXI, a technology company behind the Arcona project, for years. The scenes of virtual content placed in the 10 largest cities and the whole visualization of Arcona is all her doing.

💬 "Working on the augmented reality parks with the Piligrim team was very fascinating and developing, as there were plenty of objects nearly impossible to be visually reconstructed due to insufficient information on the way they used to look”, she says.

💬 “Sometimes we could only base on oral explanations and painted some buildings leveraging our knowledge of architecture, history, art and sense of beauty. It was difficult but very exciting. Now we are happy to apply the skills we had acquired in day to day mixing of real image and animation. We worked a lot to make this fantasy world of Arcona look real and authentic. Now we are seeking to endow the Viewer of our ecosystem with these features”.

We can’t wait to try the application out which is getting closer and closer with each day! Stay tuned and don’t miss our big news!

Today, the Arcona team has presented all the advantages of the ecosystem and the prospects of Arcona development to the leading Finnish experts on the international investment and business strategies – in the framework of pitch-session taking place in Helsinki center in Saint Petersburg.

Finland is known as one of the leaders in the field of computer game industry. The turnover of this market in Finland has already exceeded €2.5 billion per year and continues to grow.

👾 There are about three hundred companies producing gaming software - from startup studios to companies of global renown, such as Supercell, Remedy, Rovio, Housemarque, Unity, Wargaming, Next Games, Electronic Arts, Ubisoft, and many others.

Therefore, Finland is an interesting market as the audience is well aware of the huge opportunities that a global layer of augmented reality for the implementation of game scenarios could open.

In this pitch session, dozens of startups have participated, highlighted by the experts of the business development of Helsinki center. Vladimir Chepurnoy (Helsinki Center), Timo Helenius and Lauri Määttänen (NewCo Helsinki) were on the jury.

🏅As prizes, the winners will get the tickets to the largest startup event in the Nordic countries Slush 2018, as well as consulting support from NewCo Helsinki.

A large-scale event under the name Blockchain & Bitcoin Conference Malta has concluded In St. Julian's.

This year, it gathered the representatives of a huge number of the top blockchain projects and crypto funds and venture investors.

The Arcona co-founder Daniel Girdea represented the project and managed to participate in two-panel discussions as an expert.

He spoke about the prospects the blockchain technology opens up today for the development of the augmented reality technology and the Internet of things growth.

“It was really interesting and useful to take part in these events”, he says. “This time we mostly discussed the use of blockchain in non-financial sectors of the economy, such as tourism, real estate, entertainment, and education.

These fields are those at which we actually aim creating our ecosystem, as the Arcona Digital Land is the space where the companies from different sectors can develop their projects. I had an opportunity to discuss the prospects of technological and ideological integration with the representatives of several blockchain-based companies.

One of them, by the way, organizes gourmet tours around the world. In my opinion, this is the most exciting and enjoyable type of tourism. I hope we will find a way to cooperate and launch some joint projects for our users”.

I like Daniel Girdea, he so passionately talks about augmented reality and about company Arcona that I want to experience this reality now)) Especially I remember him at your videos on Youtube)
Well... I will wait for January and the release of the application version on Android) 🚀🚀🚀

Thanks for your kind words!

Will you be at the conference as guests or speakers or will you have your own presentation?

I hope the trading volume from ARCONA can go up after ARCONA participates in Blockchain Life later, because the community is waiting for it,
and traders can feel the profit so that trust will grow

This is unlikely to affect the price, Arcona need a different strategy, need a partnership with well-known companies at least.

not all ICO projects attend conferences and expos, but if the project tries to show investors that the project does not die it is very good, like Arcona, but unfortunately the price does not go up at price ini ico

You can talk about the price of tokens when all the goals of the roadmap are achieved, and the tokens will be available for use in a practical sense. All events in the market with tokens before the implementation of the roadmap are speculation in most cases.

That is true results are the most important thing but attending conferences and being in public is also good it explains that team is serious in their intentions.

Sure, even more, how many projects do you know where the CEO and one of the founders leave their phone number for quick communication on the first page? These are unique cases, one of the Arcona founder Daniil Girdea do that, this is also one of the small details that people should pay attention.

even though it is only a small part of the project, it is very important for the development of the community itself, especially in ARCONA, because with that investor confidence will be high

Yes, especially given the difficult time now and the reputation of the ICO business in General.

Arcona thank you - finally I get my land like most active #marketplace tester 🎉🎉
