Today we will consider with you an interesting company that has developed a unique platform of augmented reality, designed to connect the real world with the virtual. It's no secret, but in the near future the technology will produce simply stunning changes in our lives. Already now a large number of companies (Apple, Google, Microsoft) are working on the creation of Autonomous ar headsets that can completely replace smartphones and project 3D-images directly to the retina.

The company about which we will talk today is called Arcona.
Arcona-is a unique information space, which is designed to unite the real world and the virtual into one single ecosystem. At the heart of this platform are: an automated system and digital assets, combining GIS systems, as well as 3D simulation, augmented reality technology, blockchain and artificial intelligence. Professionals of Piligrim XXI team took up the development of Arcona platform. Piligrim XXI is the first it startup of augmented reality in Russia, which is actively developing in the international travel market. Thanks to Arcona tourists will be able to enjoy a unique journey in time while combining a trip in a real place.
The world's first augmented reality Park from Piligrim XXI appeared in 2014. AR Park “Castle of Riga” (Latvia). The idea of this project allows tourists to see a kind of reconstruction of a real object with the help of virtual reality.
After the tourists had an opportunity to see the reconstruction of the Teutonic order castle (which existed in the XV century), the small town of Ludza for the first year was visited by about 60 000 people, and in three years this number increased to 200 000 people.
At the moment Piligrim XXI has a whole network of similar open-air parks WITH a total area of about 7700 ar. But that's not all:
1) 2015 developing actively such AR parks as "the Fortress of the Bastille" (France), "the Estate Altun" (Russia), "Forum of Pompeii" (Italy);
2) since 2016, the development OF ar Park "Old Nessebar" (Bulgaria), "Road of life" (Russia);
3) since 2017 launched AR Park "Neva Battle" (Estonia).
For each subsequent year, the company has a clear plan for its development. However, in addition to its own developments of augmented reality, Arcona team will also allow both ordinary users and other professional developers to buy "Digital Earth" and implement their 3D objects there. To make It clear to you - "Digital Earth" is a kind of virtual space, tied to a specific geographical location on our planet.

The created content can be on any topic:
- it will be a time travel where you will be able to see some fragments of historical events;
- or developers will offer alternative worlds;
- or you can play some excerpts from the film that were shot in this particular place;
- perhaps the developers will offer you to complete the quest training program or any game.
In fact, there can be a huge variety of options. The main goal of the project is to involve virtual reality in the AR landscape through tablets, smartphones or devices.

For this system to work efficiently and reliably, the project developers decided to implement their idea using blockchain technology and smart contracts. As you know, Blockchain allows you to securely save any information, while ensuring copyright protection and transparency of all operations. Thanks to the Arcona tokens you will be able to purchase various areas of "Digital Earth". Arcona tokens are based on the Ethereum blockchain (ERC20). And in the second quarter of 2018, they are planned to enter the ICO. Where the minimum price of one token arcona will amount to 0,0025 ETH.

The project itself I think is very promising, as it has such advantages from other similar platforms:
1) accurate placement of objects on augmented reality;
2) the ability to create virtual content anywhere in the world, regardless of the size of the territory;
3) ability to monetize the created content;
4) as well as integrate third-party solutions using modular architecture;
5) the ability to correctly combine real space with virtual reality;
6) the platform is designed to become a serious ecosystem for communication between users, developers and other creative people.
