## What Makes Arcona Unique?

Arcona (ARCONA) creates a global augmented reality layer that unites the real and virtual world into a single information space. Digital Land plots are represented on the platform as ERC-721 non-fungible tokens (NFTs) with their smart contract containing information regarding current and previous owners, geographic coordinates and identification number.

As a global information layer and a complex technology solution built with artificial intelligence, neural networks and geographic information system (GIS), Arcona claims to be able to provide developers with an opportunity to launch location-based AR projects remotely, without the need to scan the chosen environment on-site.

The platform has developed an original AR library called Arcona Core that supports both indoor and outdoor usage scenarios, even in low-light conditions. Moreover, Arcona Core boasts a multi-user AR experience. As a cross-platform solution, Arcona Core is compatible with both Android and IOS devices.

As stated on the official website, Arcona is able to provide highly accurate distance measurements and object placement through use of SLAM (Simultaneous localization and mapping) technology combined with fast and robust line detection. SLAM is an autonomous navigation algorithm used for mapping the physical area while simultaneously keeping track of the device’s location.

Arcona ecosystem aims to simplify the process of AR content creation and features a technology solution that does not require software development skills to design and launch an AR experience.
