Welcome to the developer center

Physical AI is form-factor agnostic. Give spatial intelligence to robots, smart glasses, phones, or any other machine. A blue ocean of opportunities awaits on the real world web.

Robotics
Connecting your robots to the real world web makes new physical spaces instantly accessible to them.
Glasses & Wearables
When smart glasses and "whereables" know where they are, they can become AI copilots for the real world.
Phones
Your phone is basically a robot without limbs. It can also be an AI copilot, or a platform for rich XR experiences.

Want to build for robots or glasses but don’t have your own?
We've got you covered at the HK Hacker Hub.

Overview of real world web domains
Just as websites make digital information accessible to us, real world web domains make physical spaces accessible to robots, glasses, and other devices.
Foundational
Introduction to domain setup
Get started with domains by setting one up in a few easy steps. All you need are some portal QR codes and a phone running iOS 16+ or Android 13+.
Beginner
Adding navigation and occlusion meshes
Add walkable areas and occlusion volumes to your domain. These help give your devices an understanding of the space.
Intermediate
Web-based domain viewer
Explore your domain with this web-based 3D visualization tool that displays point cloud data, navigation and occlusion meshes, and portals. Use our demo or deploy it yourself.
Beginner
Bring your robot to the Real World Web
A quick start guide on how to make the physical world more accessible to your robot.
Beginner
Map utils for robots
Explore these python scripts for map extraction from your real world web domain, raycasting, navigation, and route optimization.
Intermediate
ROS2 for Unitree G1
This repository contains ROS2 packages and instructions specifically tailored for the Unitree G1 Humanoid robot.
Intermediate
Robotics for Cactus
This project provides Python and C++ implementations of the Cactus API client, allowing your robot to perform product search and position retrieval in a retail store running Cactus.
Beginner
Positioning for glasses
Send an image from your glasses to Auki's VPS and instantly get the position of the glasses inside a real world web domain.
Intermediate
Orchestration with robots
Collaborating with robots is much more powerful when the glasses you wear can communicate spatial information to your robots.
Experienced
AI copilot for physical work
Mika has open sourced oneshot, an AI copilot that guides users through procedures using computer vision analysis.
Experienced
Mentra Live + Auki CV
This real-time computer vision application for Mentra smart glasses captures images, stores them in an Auki domain, and analyzes them using an Auki CV node.
Foundational
Unity SDK quickstart guide
Our Unity SDK allows you to create rich AR experiences on the real world web. Setting up your development environment is easy and only takes a few minutes.
Beginner
Create a simple shared AR experience
This tutorial goes through how to use our ConjureKit Unity SDK to create a shared AR app from scratch.
Beginner
Create a simple persistent AR experience
When you can persist digital information in its correct physical context, it unlocks a rich digital layer on top of your physical space.
Experienced
Multiplayer AR games
Welcome to the world of Ghosts 'n Pumpkins! In this tutorial, we'll show you how to convert a single-player Unity AR game into a multiplayer game using the Auki SDK.

Autonomous navigation
This is the world's first live demo of large-scale autonomous humanoid robot navigation. We brought Terri, our Unitree G1, to a venue he had never been to before. After connecting to that venue's real world web domain, he could navigate autonomously to any booth at the conference.
Robotics, Glasses
Spatial orchestration
Live demo on a community update of app-agnostic, device-agnostic spatial orchestration between smart glasses, two different robots, and a computer.
Phones, Glasses, Robotics
Cactus
Designed for the hybrid human and robotic workforce of the future, Cactus gives retail enterprise access to a whole new dimension of spatial analytics and tools.
Glasses
Oneshot AI
Built by grant recipient Mika Haak, oneshot is an AI copilot running on Mentra Live glasses and the real world web. It stores the procedural memory of a place and detects mistakes in real time.
Phones
Gotu
We partnered with Zappar, combining our indoor navigation app with their accessible QR codes and app clips to build app-free navigation with audio cues for the blind and low vision community.
Phones
McKenna
The McKenna app (now also app-free thanks to our partnership with Zappar) turns your physical space into an augmented reality canvas, where you and friends can see the same vivid overlay on the world.
Phones
Floorcraft
Floorcraft: Blasters is a shared augmented reality game powered by the real world web. It uses our relay network which provides ultra low latency for multiplayer AR sessions — a necessity when you're mid battle!
Drones
Alpha AI
Hong Kong is the most vertical city in the world, and Alpha AI is pioneering the low altitude economy with autonomous drone inspections of skyscrapers as well as drone deliveries between islands. They're using the real world web for mapping and positioning.

Hardware partners

Dear hardware manufacturers:

Your hardware is great, but it needs better software to be useful. Developers will make it both useful and deployable.

We are accepting hardware donations and loans for the HK Hacker Hub.

In return, we’ll integrate it with the real world web, publish open source packages, and even write documentation for it. And of course, we'll have developers build on it.

Have something lying around or want to sponsor a developer? Contact us.

We borrowed some PadBots and connected them to the real world web. Now anyone can deploy these models to new physical spaces in under 2 minutes.
