Location-based AR is for augmented reality experiences that are tied to a physical place or context. These use GPS and spatial anchoring techniques to place digital content reliably in the same place.

The system combines GPS, compass data, and spatial anchors or VPS to determine where a user is in space. 3D models will appear and stay stabilized based on this technology.

With location-based AR, a tour guide can show historical overlays directly on a landmark so visitors can see additional information like videos, 3D models or immersive presentations.

AR is the most powerful when it's tied to physical spaces and contexts. Location-based AR ensures that content is closely integrated with its surroundings, revealing information that complements the real world.
