MeshMap Adopts GeoPose and Joins the Metaverse Standards Forum

At MeshMap, we believe the future of spatial computing requires open collaboration and shared standards for interoperability. That’s why we’re excited to announce that MeshMap now supports the GeoPose 1.0 standard and is a member of the Metaverse Standards Forum and OpenAR Cloud, organizations key to shaping open, interoperable AR systems.

What is GeoPose?

OGC GeoPose is the open standard for the interoperable exchange of the location and orientation of objects in the real world in 6 degrees of freedom. Think of it as a “universal coordinate language” for augmented reality. Devices, apps, developer tools, and maps use GeoPose to describe where anything is located and its orientation in 3D space.

By implementing GeoPose, MeshMap ensures that every scene, anchor, and spatial experience created on our platform will be accessible to users running any GeoPose-compliant software regardless of their devices.

Why it matters

Spatial computing at a global scale will be possible when systems can see, author, and publish to the same world. Today, many AR apps force developers to build within a vendor’s siloed versions of space, using proprietary maps, anchors, and logic. GeoPose changes that. It creates a common conceptual model for all, so your digital objects stay locked where they should be, no matter which device or platform is viewing them.

For MeshMap, this means creators will gain:

• Consistent localization across devices and experiences
• Better interoperability with emerging XR tools and mapping systems
• Future-proof content built on open, shared protocols

Meshmap App

As part of our adoption of GeoPose, we’re rolling out new tools that bring this standard into everyday use. Through the MeshMap app, creators can pin and share digital content, from 3D models to audio tours, anchored to precise real-world locations.

Pins placed by users on phones can also be viewed on devices like Spectacles, where the content appears exactly where it was placed, and correctly oriented in space. This cross-device workflow demonstrates how GeoPose can unify spatial experiences across phones, headsets, and future XR platforms.

What’s next

We’re already testing GeoPose integrations across our SDK and APIs, and plan to make them available to creators soon. As we roll this out, we’ll share more details about how it powers MeshMap’s spatial index and future cross-device localization.

We’re glad to be part of an exciting community that’s laying the foundation for a more connected AR ecosystem. One where creators, developers, and platforms can build upon shared and open standards.
