“CoCreatAR” – how developers can collaborate remotely to enhance outdoor AR content creation
Developers need to understand the real world, but they often work remotely. That’s why Niantic Labs has built CoCreatAR – a new system designed to bridge the gap between remote developers and the real world – and will be presenting a paper at the 2025 Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI).

“Looking at the history of Niantic, between Google and Pokémon GO, Niantic understands spatial, and that was very important to us – a company that has very good technology... Niantic Spatial Platform is easy for third parties to integrate. From a technical standpoint, it was one of the smoothest integrations we experienced.”
