Building the digital layer for the physical world
About us
With future wearable devices - currently being built by Apple, Meta and others - the real world will become filled with rich digital overlays of information. Much like in every sci-fi movie we’ve seen, this new technology will become as useful and dependable as the internet is today.
We’re building the technology layer which integrates with every location, allowing businesses to serve up these digital experiences for every visitor. Whether it’s in retail, or airports, or offices, or museums - our technology will power the next-generation of interaction.
We’re starting today on mobile, and in retail stores, where we can help people to find items in-store - with a map that knows where everything is, and by locating the user with the highest level of precision. Check this video to see how it works:
The challenges here are hard and rewarding. Every day, our team is collaborating across different skill sets to explore new problems and build innovative solutions. If you’re passionate, driven and looking for the opportunity to have a huge impact solving hard problems, we want to speak to you.
Who we are
Our team is led by pioneers in AR, mapping and location technologies. We previously built the largest open-source project for Apple’s AR platform (5k stars on GitHub), enabling thousands of developers to build world-scale AR apps. And we have decades of product experience across organisations like Dyson, Esri, Ordnance Survey and Shopmatic.
We’re backed by the first investors into Oculus, founders of large platforms such as Indeed, Tumblr and Applovin, as well as execs from Foursquare and Citymapper.
We partner with some of the largest mapping apps and technology companies in the world, giving us the opportunity to work with the latest innovations.
We're always looking for the next innovative and ambitious new members of our team. Even if there isn't an open role that fits what you do, we'd love to find out more about you.
