ARway SDK Gaining Momentum in the $23 Billion Wayfinding Market
TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / January 20, 2023 / ARway Corporation ("ARway" or the "Company") (CSE:ARWY)(OTC PINK:ARWYF)(FSE:E65) is disrupting the augmented reality (AR) wayfinding market with a no-code, no beacon spatial computing platform enabled by visual marker tracking. ARway is pleased to announce the Company has signed multiple pilot projects for augmented reality indoor wayfinding and is now experiencing a surge in demand for its AR wayfinding services. Once converted to long-term contracts, these pilot programs have significant revenue implications for the Company.
ARway's pilot projects span several countries across the globe and include multiple industries including retail, university campuses, museums, and airports, showcasing the wide range of applications of ARway.
The pilot projects are as follows:
- Large Hospital Group - ARway will deploy augmented reality wayfinding within a single 3-story hospital covering over 30,000 sq ft. This pilot project has the potential to rollout to 200 hospitals within the same hospital group.
- Spain Airport - In this airport, passengers will be able to use AR wayfinding from the arrival gate, to baggage claim to transportation depot using image tracking technology. This pilot project will be using ARwayKit SDK to integrate AR wayfinding into the transportation provider's mobile app. Watch a video showcasing the pilot project - click here
- Brazil Airport - In this airport, passengers will use AR wayfinding to the ground transportation depot from baggage claim. The ARwayKit SDK will integrate AR wayfinding into a car rental company's mobile app.
- 400,000 sq ft Dubai Mall - As announced on December 12, 2022, ARway successfully spatially mapped a 400,000 sq ft mall for a pilot project, showcasing the Company's breakthrough augmented reality indoor wayfinding solution. If the pilot is successful, it's anticipated that the ARway solution will be rolled out into a dozen+ additional malls controlled by the same ownership company. With ARway's technology, implementation will include a digital concierge with augmented reality wayfinding and marketing campaigns. This pilot will test the adoption of AR enhanced wayfinding, gamification and marketing content by mall visitors.
Evan Gappelberg, CEO of ARway, commented, "We are fielding a steady flow of requests from Fortune 500 companies and have now started to hire an enterprise sales force to help address this rapidly growing demand. We expect to have over 100+ pilot programs in play over the coming months and expect many to convert into full-scale projects."
He continued, "We are working on large individual projects that, once commercialized, can generate as much as $250,000/month in MRR or $3 million in ARR. As we book these pilot programs and listen to the customers' needs, we are convinced that ARway will become the de facto standard for AR wayfinding in 2023. We are extremely excited to have so much early demand, as we are just at the beginning of ARway's wayfinding journey."
The ARway offering has an unlimited number of use cases for augmenting physical spaces in the metaverse, consisting of indoor navigation with AR activations, which significantly improves visitor experiences in large and complex spaces.
According to research fom Technavio, "The global indoor positioning and indoor navigation (IPIN) market size will grow by USD 23.03 billion from 2020 to 2025, and the growth momentum of the market will accelerate at a CAGR of 33.21% during the forecast period."
