ARLondon | Special event hosted by Scape

As a special event to celebrate the release of the Scape Technologies’ Geospatial SDK, the next LondonAR Meetup will be hosted by Scape https://scape.io, at their headquarters in Old Street, in partnership with Techspace https://www.techspace.co

The true value of immersive technology is to eliminate the barrier between content and reality by transporting the user within the experience.

The content becomes the new reality, and the world becomes the user's playground.

In this meetup, we will look at how augmented reality has evolved over the years and how location-based services will be a defining characteristic to drive the engagement.

Schedule

Doors will be open at 6.00 pm.
