Read full description
The company's core business revolves around creating a spatial information engine for mixed reality (MR), essentially building high-precision digital maps of the physical world to serve as a foundation for the spatial internet. This technology is designed to create digital twins of real-world locations, enabling immersive, interactive experiences. Seengene's business model is structured in three layers: the data layer (the xarc.ai XR cloud platform), the service layer (providing XaaS or 'Anything as a Service' solutions), and the product layer, which includes hardware. Revenue is generated through a combination of hardware sales, customized software solutions, and cloud service fees.
Seengene targets several key markets, including cultural tourism, commercial marketing, public safety, and industry. For the cultural tourism sector, the company develops applications that overlay historical reconstructions or interactive games onto real-world sites like museums and heritage locations. In commercial spaces, its technology enables AR advertising and virtual-real fusion marketing experiences. The product lineup includes the '爻图' (Yao Tu) AR space mapping service for developers, '爻宇宙' (Yao Universe), an operating system for clients in the cultural and business tourism sectors, and hardware like the X1S and XMAN series of AR glasses. The company aims to empower various sectors—from smart cities and gaming to e-commerce and live streaming—by providing a new three-dimensional entry point to the digital world.
