OpenARCloud
Building a Better Reality Together
Open AR Cloud's mission is to drive the development of open and interoperable spatial computing technology, data and standards to connect the physical and digital worlds for the benefit of all.
OSCP In Action
SpatialDDS (2026)
A protocol specification for real-world spatial computing — defining how spatial data is discovered, distributed, and synchronized across devices and services.
UbiComp ISWC 2025 Tutorial (2025)
Building interoperable location-based AR with the Open AR Cloud. Presentation decks, code, and session recordings from Aalto University, Helsinki.
OpenVPS (2025)
Open Visual Positioning System — camera-based localization for AR applications, providing open source tools for visual positioning and mapping.
W3C Immersive Web Demo (2025)
GeoPose & POI interoperability demos at the W3C Immersive Web Face-to-Face event on Google Campus, Mountain View.
POI Interoperability Demo — Montreal (2024)
Three-client interoperability demo at Palais des congres de Montreal featuring MyGeoVerse, spARcl, and Ethar spatial browsers.
POI Interoperability Demo — Delft (2024)
GeoPose & POI demos at the 128th OGC Member Meeting. Step-by-step walkthrough with MyGeoVerse and spARcl spatial browsers.

Why Open Spatial Computing?
Decentralized by Design
All OSCP services are designed to run on edge infrastructure rather than centralized cloud services, ensuring low latency and data sovereignty.
Open Source Everything
Every OSCP service has open source implementations available on GitHub. All protocols are in the public domain and leverage existing open standards.
Platform Agnostic
Client implementations support XR headsets, mobile platforms, robotics, and more - with libraries available for academic and commercial use.
Core Components
- Spatial Service Discovery - Root-level registry for all spatial services
- GeoPose Protocol - Standard for positioning and orientation in space
- Spatial Content Discovery - Search and discover spatially-anchored content
- Reality Modeling - Support for BIM, IoT, GIS, USD, glTF, and 3D tiles
- Edge-Optimized Rendering - 5G-enabled cloud rendering at the edge
- OpenVPS - Open Visual Positioning System for camera-based localization
- SpatialDDS - Protocol specification for real-world spatial computing
