AR+IQ Platform Module Structure


Unveiling the AR+IQ Technical Architecture - A New Benchmark for Modular, Intelligent XR Platforms

Proud to pull back the curtain on the latest iteration of the AR+IQ platform - a modular, multi-layered system redefining how users engage with immersive experiences across sectors and devices.

At its core, the platform is structured into three distinct architecture layers:

1. Foundation Layer

  • Unity SDK Core - ensures consistent AR performance across devices

  • Cloud Infrastructure - powered by AWS and Azure for robust hosting and data processing

  • AI Framework - GPT-5 based intelligent agents driving real-time, context aware interactions

  • Secure Authentication & Analytics - centralised control with actionable insights 

2. Category Modules Layer

Custom-built modules designed for diverse verticals - Retail, Events, Culture & Heritage, Fitness - each with dedicated content delivery, interaction, and analytics tools 

3. Implementation Layer

  • Partner customisation tools for white labelling

  • CMS and template-driven deployment

  • API integration connectivity - including Shopify, Stripe, Mapbox, GIS platforms 

Why This Matters

  • Spatial & Multi-User Capabilities: Harnesses geospatial anchors and spatial computing for shared experiences across Apple Vision Pro, Meta Quest, AndroidXR, and more, with real-time data and Mixpanel/Azure analytics woven in 

  • Rich Application Stack: Combines Supabase, AWS/Azure backends; Unity-based AR front ends; and seamless integration with AR+concierge, AR+guide, and AR+artist interfaces 

  • AI-Powered Immersion: Contextual AI storytelling, gamification, dynamic suggestions and real-time adaptation that shapes user journeys on the fly 

  • Ethical & Sustainable by Design: Guided by kaupapa Māori principles and aligned with UN Sustainable Development Goals - ensuring culturally respectful, accessible, and environmentally mindful deployments 

In Summary

AR+IQ isn’t just another XR platform - it’s a strategic, modular ecosystem built for scale, responsiveness, and impact. Whether you’re in events, retail, cultural heritage, wellness, or beyond, this architecture offers adaptability without compromise.

AR+IQ Technical Architecture Overview

1. Modular Architecture (AR+IQ Modular Product Plan)

The AR+IQ platform is built on a three-layer modular structure

Foundation Layer

  • Unity SDK Core: Powers consistent AR experience across devices.

  • Cloud Infrastructure (AWS/Azure): Hosts content and handles user/data processing.

  • AI Framework: GPT-4o-based AI agents for real-time interaction and decision support.

  • Authentication & Analytics: Centralised access control and usage data visualisation.

Category Modules Layer

  • Event, Retail, Culture, and Fitness modules tailored for different sectors.

  • Each module includes specific components for content delivery, user interaction, and analytics.

Implementation Layer

  • Partner Customisation Tools for white-labelling.

  • CMS and Templates for deployment and content management.

  • API Integration Connectors (e.g., Shopify, Stripe, Mapbox, GIS).

2. Spatial and Multi-User Focus

  • Utilises Geospatial Anchors and Spatial Computing for shared, multi-user experiences.

  • Enabled on Apple Vision Pro, Meta Quest, AndroidXR, and other AR-enabled devices.

  • Real-time CMS and data insights integrated via Mixpanel and Azure Analytics.

3. Application Stack

  • Backend: Supabase, Azure/AWS for content and user data .

  • Frontend: Unity-based AR content, web CMS interfaces, and mobile apps (AR+concierge™, AR+guide™, AR+artist™).

  • Integration: APIs for ticketing, eCommerce (Shopify), and navigation (Mapbox).

4. AI-Powered Immersive Interaction

  • Supports contextual AI guidance, narrative delivery, and gamified engagement.

  • Modular AI agents suggest content, navigate users, and adapt in real-time based on location and profile data.

5. Key Capabilities

  • Real-time AR+ overlays with proximity and QR/marker triggers.

  • User journey tracking and feedback integration.

  • Compatible with 3D, 360° video, and photogrammetry assets.

  • Ethical and sustainable design with kaupapa Māori and UN SDG alignment.
