Unified Metaverse Platform Integrates Nextech’s Entire Suite of Augmented Reality Solutions
Nextech AR Solutions Corp., a diversified leading provider of augmented reality (“AR”) experience technologies and services is proud to announce plans to launch its SaaS Metaverse Studio SDK enabling its customers to create their own metaverses. Once launched, this unified Metaverse Studio will give the Company what it believes is a first mover advantage in the race to bring the Metaverse to the masses. As part of this launch a significant upgrade to the current ARway Studio is the interoperability of our Metaverse Studio with all Metaverse platforms including Meta’s AR Spark Studio, Snap’s Lens Studio, Apple’s Reality Composer and more.
The new studio will be branded as the “Aritize Metaverse Studio”.

The ARitize Metaverse Studio, is currently available as a managed service but is expected to be released as a SaaS solution in early Q1 2022, bringing all of Nextech’s solutions together into one, easy to use, web-based studio. Nextech’s customers can access all their 3D assets, compose AR experiences, and publish them into the Metaverse in any format. In ARitize Metaverse Studio, customers can manage 3D/AR content and point cloud maps, which are used for localization. It also gives users the ability to update these point cloud maps and 3D/AR content in their application in real-time. ARitize Metaverse Studio will assist in managing and creating mini-metaverse environments such as shopping malls, airports, museums, university campuses, and more.
The ARitize Metaverse Studio will also allow anyone to create a spatial map using the company’s free downloadable app ‘ARway’ or by installing the company’s SDK into their own application. While Nextech offers a full suite of AR experiences and 3D models to drop into the spatial map, users can also import their own AR experiences from other developers or platforms making Nextech’s Metaverse Studio a true creator platform for all.
