Visual positioning system

Spatial intelligence for complex spaces

Seekr is the precise positioning layer for airports, stations, malls and anywhere GPS fails. A phone camera recognises the venue and works out exact position, floor and heading. No beacons, no Wi-Fi, nothing to install.

A venue floor and, above it, its Seekr spatial map. Three points on the map connect to cards: Navigation and wayfinding, Amenities and services, and AR and AI assistance.

Platform

Positioning is infrastructure. Seekr is the layer where GPS falls short.

GPS gave the outdoors a shared coordinate system that every map, ride and delivery app builds on. Airports, stations, malls and dense city blocks never got one. Seekr gives any scanned space a precise, camera-based position that apps, venues and partners can build on.

  • Localise without GPS

    Position, floor and facing direction from what the camera sees, deep inside buildings and between towers.

  • Zero infrastructure

    No beacons to install, power or maintain. The map of the venue is the only infrastructure.

  • Self-updating maps

    Live footage is compared with the scan to spot changes in the venue, so the map keeps up.

  • 6 times faster mapping

    Standard reality-capture scanners map a venue far faster than traditional mapping systems.

Technology

Like GPS, but it uses what the camera sees

  1. 1

    See

    The phone camera picks out landmarks in each frame.

  2. 2

    Recognise

    They’re matched against the venue’s scanned 3D map.

  3. 3

    Locate

    Seekr works out exactly where the user stands, on which floor, and which way they face.

  4. 4

    Guide

    On-screen, audio or haptic directions, plus anonymous movement data for the operator.

Why a camera, not radio signals

Beacons and Wi-Fi guess position from signal strength, so accuracy depends on hardware someone has to install and maintain. A camera recognises the venue itself.

Enterprise-ready

  • No personal data needed
  • Cloud, private cloud or offline
  • The operator owns the data

Deployment

Scan once, position every visitor

  1. Illustration: a scanner capturing the venue as a point cloud

    1. Scan

    Standard reality-capture scanners capture the venue. Nothing is installed.

  2. Illustration: a 3D floor plan with a route to a destination

    2. Map

    Our algorithms turn the scan into a precise spatial map.

  3. Illustration: a phone guiding a visitor beside an operator dashboard

    3. Go live

    Visitors open it from a QR code. Operators see live movement data.

Seekr vs. existing solutions

Staff and printed signs can’t keep up as venues change, and the technology on offer needs hardware or loses accuracy.

FAQ

Frequently asked

Something else? Talk to the team.

How accurate is Seekr?

Sub-metre. Seekr returns position, floor and the direction the user is facing, from the phone camera alone.

Do we need to install any hardware?

No. The venue is captured once with standard reality-capture scanners. There are no beacons or Wi-Fi access points to install or maintain.

How long does deployment take?

In our airport pilot, 120,000 m² went from first scan to working navigation in about two weeks.

What about privacy and data?

No personal data is needed. Seekr runs in the cloud, a private cloud or offline, and the operator owns the data.

Can we build our own product on Seekr?

Yes. Seekr is built to be the positioning layer other products use. Tell us what you’re building and we’ll walk you through integration.
