// OVERVIEW

About This Project

TraceAR City Portal is a groundbreaking persistent XR framework that transforms how people navigate and experience urban environments. Using advanced spatial computing, the platform overlays digital information onto physical streets, buildings, and landmarks — creating an invisible layer of interactive content accessible through smartphones and AR glasses. The system enables retailers to create virtual storefronts, tourism boards to offer immersive historical tours, and city planners to visualize future developments. Unlike traditional AR apps, TraceAR uses cloud-based persistent anchors that remain fixed in space, allowing thousands of users to interact with the same digital content simultaneously. The framework supports multi-user collaboration, real-time content updates, and seamless integration with existing city infrastructure including transit systems, emergency services, and commercial directories.
