About Open AR Cloud

Our Mission

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.

Vision

We envision a future where spatial computing seamlessly integrates with everyday life, where digital information enhances physical spaces, and where open standards ensure that no single entity controls how we experience augmented reality. The Open Spatial Computing Platform represents our commitment to building this future collaboratively, transparently, and inclusively.

How We Achieve Our Goals

Open Standards Development

We collaborate with industry leaders, researchers, and developers to create and maintain open protocols that ensure interoperability across platforms and devices.

Open Source Implementation

Every standard we develop has a corresponding open source reference implementation, ensuring that our vision is accessible to all and can be validated in practice.

Community Collaboration

Through working groups, forums, and collaborative development, we bring together diverse perspectives to solve the complex challenges of spatial computing.

Edge-First Architecture

We prioritize decentralized, edge-based solutions that respect user privacy, reduce latency, and enable true ownership of spatial data.

Our Values

Openness

All our work is conducted in the open, with public repositories, open meetings, and transparent processes.

Interoperability

We believe spatial computing should work across all platforms, devices, and ecosystems without artificial barriers.

Privacy by Design

User privacy and data sovereignty are fundamental principles in all our technical decisions.

Accessibility

Spatial computing should be available to everyone, regardless of economic status, geography, or technical expertise.

Sustainability

We design for long-term viability, both environmentally and economically.
