What is Niantic Lightship?

Today marks the beginning of our initiative to help creators seamlessly merge virtual experiences with the real world. Through Niantic Lightship, we reach hundreds of millions of users with a client platform that sets a new standard for augmented reality, featuring advanced capabilities such as segmented semantics, mapping, and multiplayer functionalities. As we pursue our long-term vision for the Lightship ARDK, we are also working on an extensive 3D map of the planet, driven by our Visual Positioning System (VPS) and advanced tools, which aim to provide contextually relevant digital content that resonates with users based on their physical locations. By fostering a more genuine connection between the physical and digital worlds, we improve multiplayer experiences with AR tools that complement some of Niantic's most cherished games. The Lightship ARDK empowers you to bring your creative visions to life, integrating aspects like depth, physics, occlusions, and semantic segmentation to forge truly immersive experiences. Our ultimate goal is to transform the way individuals engage with their environments by intertwining reality with captivating digital realms. This innovative approach not only enhances user engagement but also paves the way for new possibilities in digital interaction, encouraging the exploration of creativity in a way that has never been seen before.
