Map2Earn, The Gateway to the Open AR Metaverse
summary
OVR builds a location-owned AR layer called OVR mapping that turns smartphone photos into 3D point clouds and neural radiance fields for precise relocalization without LiDAR, claiming scans take three to five minutes. A crowd of 130,000 players currently earns ERC‑20 incentives to map sites; the platform reports 860,000 digital lands sold, 940,000 registered users and 12M revenue, and an alpha mapping SDK with public beta due December.
