We’re excited to announce a new challenge coming to the 8th Wall community! For the May challenge we will explore the amazing real-world applications of VPS for Web with prizes worth over $20k!
Today, we're excited to announce that developers, agencies, and brands can now simultaneously use Sky Effects + World Tracking to create never-before-seen immersive WebAR experiences. For the first time for any AR platform, you can now augment the sky and ground together in the same project.
Augmented Reality has the potential to transform everyday views into extraordinary moments by giving developers the power to tell stories with the world as their canvas. Using these two features together, developers no longer have to choose between creating something in the sky or on a surface. The entire field of view is now available for them to overlay their creations and unleash their creativity.
8th Wall’s mission to make the web a powerful place for augmented reality has never been stronger than it is today, 1 year on from our acquisition by Niantic, Inc.
Today we are excited to announce the all-new 8th Wall Cloud Editor, available today to all 8th Wall developers.
Augmenting the world is the most common way developers, agencies and brands are using 8th Wall today. Up until now, world WebAR has been primarily focused on the ground. Today, we are over-the-moon excited to introduce Sky Effects, a new feature from Niantic integrated into the 8th Wall platform that allows developers to augment the sky with WebAR.
Today, we’re introducing Niantic Lightship Maps for Web, a new service from Niantic integrated into the 8th Wall platform that allows developers to easily add customizable maps to any 8th Wall project.
The 8th Wall team has been on a mission to supercharge your development by providing you with a complete set of tools to create WebAR content. Our cloud-based integrated development environment, the Cloud Editor, was built from the ground up for reality content development and it is now the predominant way our developers create 3D, AR and VR web applications. We designed the Cloud Editor to give developers superpowers and today we are unlocking a new power by making our biggest update since its launch with the introduction of 8th Wall Modules.
Today we are introducing Lightship VPS for Web, bringing the Niantic Lightship Visual Positioning System (VPS) to the 8th Wall platform. This first-of-its-kind browser-based technology connects the real world with the digital one by anchoring WebAR content to locations with unprecedented accuracy and precision. This enables location-based augmented reality experiences that feel more personal, more meaningful, and more real, and gives users new reasons to explore the world around them.
We are proud to announce that three WebAR experiences powered by 8th Wall have won prestigious Webby and Clio Awards! Established in 1996 during the Web’s infancy, the Webby Awards is the leading international award honoring excellence on the Internet. Founded in 1959, the Clio Award is the premier international awards competition for the creative business and honors the work and talent at the forefront of the industry.
