NAVER TwinXR Platform is a collection of spatial intelligence technologies that connect the real and virtual worlds to create new experiences. This article explores the possibilities enabled by NAVER TwinXR. After starting with this “People” edition, the series will continue with “Robots” and “Cities.” You’ll discover that there are more possibilities than you might have imagined.
Connecting Spaces and People, Faster and Easier
Spatial intelligence technology can bring revolutionary innovations to everyday spaces, and one of the prime examples of this is AR. While AR itself is not a new technology, NAVER TwinXR Platform expands the way services are developed. For instance, it allows you to easily and quickly build AR navigation services even indoors, where GPS doesn’t work. The process is remarkably simple, as outlined below.
AR Service Development Using TwinXR Platform
First, a digital twin of the space is created using NAVER LABS’ mapping devices. For large-scale venues such as shopping malls, data is collected using the M2 robot and T2-B backpack device before being uploaded to the cloud to generate a 3D map. ARC Eye, an AI-powered positioning system, precisely identifies the user’s 3D location even in environments where GPS is unavailable. Using the AR authoring tools provided by NAVER LABS, various objects can be placed to develop an AR navigation service. With NAVER TwinXR Platform, this entire process can be completed in as little as two days.

Infinite Services
Here are additional cases of AR services developed using TwinXR Platform:
• AR Docent: In museums and exhibition halls, AR can provide a more immersive viewing experience. By utilizing 3D content, it enables a new form of tour service where real and virtual elements blend together, enhancing the presentation of exhibits.

• AR Interior Simulation: The platform can also be applied to interior design or construction site simulations. AR can be used to augment and visualize the final interior layout directly within a space or to plan furniture arrangements in an ongoing construction project.

NAVER TwinXR Platform unlocks new possibilities by transcending the physical boundaries of information and experience. NAEVER LABS’ digital twin technology is already being actively applied across a wide variety of fields, including immersive online real estate VR tours, 3D street view on NAVER maps, and visual effects (VFX) for movies and television series. However, these examples represent just a glimpse of the platform’s potential. NAVER TwinXR not only enhances human experiences but also provides innovative intelligence for robots and cities.
