Augmented reality platform and method for use of same
An augmented reality platform and method for use of the same are provided. In one embodiment, an array of locationing devices determine a perspective value of a physical object within a space based on visual-inertial odometry, radio wave positioning, and acoustic positioning. A server determines a decided value of the physical object based on a plurality of perspective values of the physical object received from the array of locationing devices. A digital map and digital library maintained by the server maintain the location of physical objects and spatial experiential objects in order to provide the spatial experiential object to an augmented reality device.
