ARCONA CORE TECHNOLOGY
The ArconaCore framework comprises several intermediate-level units: recognition, navigation, and SLAM. These units share a common property: scalability. They function effectively on both modest mobile devices and powerful platforms such as remote servers.
Recognition
Our developed recognition approach boasts capabilities comparable to neural-network-based solutions. However, unlike the latter, all processing steps are implemented algorithmically. Consequently, the total number of operations performed is significantly reduced. As a result, recognition achieves satisfactory performance using only the mobile CPU, freeing up the mobile device’s GPU for high-resolution AR content rendering and related tasks.
Navigation
The navigation unit geopositions a mobile device by performing bundle adjustment using information from various sources: GPS, Compass, Recognized spatial anchors, Odometry (SLAM) unit. The precision of positioning increases as more information is received from these sources.
SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping)
Our SLAM unit combines the extended Kalman filter with a bundle adjustment approach. Importantly, this unit ensures our solutions remain independent of specific platforms like ArKit or ArCore.
In summary, ArconaCore’s modular design allows it to adapt seamlessly across different hardware configurations, making it a versatile choice for augmented reality applications.

From Sunny California to Latvian Snowdrifts:
Arcona Core undergoes the "white noise" test ❄️ We’ve moved from theory to rigorous field testing. Here is our journey over the past month: 1. Lab Success: In January, we tested our algorithms in California (as seen on the monitor). The result: 48 key points (where the norm is 20). The system "locked onto" the object and wouldn't let go. 2. Field Challenge: This past weekend, we deployed at the ruins of Ludza Castle (Latvia). Conditions: knee-deep snow and walls completely covered.

ARCONA: FROM NETAVERSE TO METAREALITY
We at Arcona realized our core concept is different. We don't create a virtual reality to "escape" into. We are migrating to Metareality.
