JUST SHIPPED: Lightship Maps is now available in public beta 
We’re excited to introduce Lightship Maps, the new building block for your location-based AR experiences. With Lightship Maps, you’ll have access to the same technology that powers our popular real-world AR games and can build fully customizable maps purpose-built for AR.
For those who participated in the private beta, this public beta release has significant changes in the core API and the SDK. Please keep this in mind and budget extra time for migrating your applications to the public beta version. If you run into issues, please contact us via our Community Forum or our Discord channel.
