Nextech3D.ai (OTCQX:NEXCF), an AI-first technology company based in Toronto, has launched an innovative navigation platform, 'Interactive Map Navigation', through its subsidiary ARway Corp. The groundbreaking platform fuses traditional 2D maps with augmented reality (AR) guidance, providing seamless wayfinding across digital platforms including web, mobile apps, and touchscreen kiosks.
This industry-first solution boasts several key features. It offers searchable 2D maps, real-time point-to-point routing for efficient navigation, and omnichannel compatibility that extends across iOS, Android, browsers (WebGL), and kiosk interfaces. With dual-mode flexibility, users can switch between 2D and AR navigation, depending on their needs.
The platform introduces new monetization possibilities for commercial venues through sponsorships, premium map placements, and detailed visitor analytics. This capability is especially beneficial for locations like airports, shopping centers, campuses, and large-scale events, all of which demand robust digital navigation solutions.
Nextech3D.ai's CEO, Evan Gappelberg, highlighted the value proposition of the new platform by stating, "With Interactive Maps, we've blended MapD's proven mapping engine with ARway's advanced spatial computing to offer venues a choice: traditional map or augmented reality—no need to pick just one."
The Interactive Maps feature is immediately accessible to all ARway Developer Plan users and MapD customers who hold active tradeshow and venue mapping licenses, promising a rapid implementation facilitated by full API documentation and sample projects provided in the SDK.
About Nextech3D.ai, the company creates photorealistic 3D models and immersive spatial experiences for e-commerce, retail, and event applications, leveraging AI to enhance 3D asset production for major retailers and digital platforms.
