Play and the Augmented Reality

Being able to breathe, eating when you are hungry and avoiding dangerous situations come naturally to us, it’s merely the way we are built to function on a day to day basis. Games and play on the other hand play (pun intended) a significant role as well in the bigger picture. Analyzing the social structures we currently thrive in, will uncover the mechanics of play in some shape or form. Simply put, it takes the mundane be it task or situation and makes it more intuitive or bearable on some level.

Specific technologies which up until recently have been subjected only to Sci-fi novels and movies, slowly creep into our reality. With the exponential rise of computing power, AR and VR based experiences will soon merge seamlessly with our day to day lives.

Arcona Digital Lands

The team from http://www.piligrimxxi.com/ wants to create a digital AR layered land where people will be able to buy rent and own digital plots located all over the world. Having experience with creating immersive AR experiences the Arcona project represents the natural next step in the evolution of the company. Thanks to the blockchain technology a commercially viable market will be implemented ensuring safe transactions for everyone involved.

As with all emerging technology, Arcona strives to create an innovative medium of expression where people from all walks of life can try to make it in this brave and new world!

Whether you are a business looking for new and engaging ways to reach your customers or perhaps an individual who would like to implement never-before-seen play mechanics in mixed reality, Arcona is the place to be! With an ERC20 based token, users will be able to buy digital plots of land and customize it how they see fit. The smart contracts will ensure the safety of the transactions module that’s so popular today based on the Ethereum blockchain.

People tend to fear any new technology developments because most of the time this means that they are going to lose their jobs thanks to advancements in automation. The people at the Arcona Labs believes the opposite; fostering such a new and exciting environment will inevitably create new jobs that machines cannot do. Generally speaking, anything that will imply creativity is considered to be safe and even more intuitive for us humans to do.

Arcona under the hood

Technically speaking, the Arcona medium combines traditional features of a distributed GIS system with AR, 3D simulations, Artificial Intelligence with blockchain underpinnings. Making use of advanced geospatial data Arcona will be able to render high-resolution instances of real-life places allowing its users to shape their plot in their unique way. The AR ecosystem will be accessible from anywhere with any AR ready devices such as mobile tablets, smartphones AR headsets and any future hardware developments that allow and support AR.
It will be interesting to see how people leverage such an interesting space that aims to challenge the status quo of what we call today: reality.
