Seven priority areas for joint R&D, student projects, and campus testbed deployment
Map Compression & Scalability
Reducing per-map storage footprint via point-cloud reduction, compact/learned descriptors, and optimisation techniques.
Computer Vision · Storage
Distributed VPS Infrastructure
Decentralised model where cities, universities, and venues host interoperable local VPS nodes rather than one central service.
Systems · Networking
Map Alignment & Georeferencing
Moving alignment into a richer 3-D environment (e.g. Cesium) to replace the current limited 2-D/side-view workflow.
Geospatial · 3-D GIS
Multi-Map Handling & Selection
Supporting multiple localiser nodes with GPS/Wi-Fi/BLE-based map-selection so more than one map can be active at once.
Systems · Mobile Sensing
Lighting & Scene-Change Robustness
Improving localisation quality under varying lighting, furniture changes, or physical environment modifications.
Computer Vision · XR
User, Group & Access Management
Upgrading auth, permissions, and map-access control for larger testbed deployments beyond the current basic implementation.
Security · Infrastructure
Campus-Scale Testbed Deployment
Deploying OpenVPS at a partner site: select a location, define a pilot, and engage local students & researchers as an Open AR Cloud testbed partner.
