Why Unity teams switch from ASA to MultiSet
-
Centimeter‑level localization in mapped spaces with low drift—stable alignment for AR content and UI.
-
Scan‑agnostic maps: Import E57, Matterport, NavVis, Leica, CAD/BIM—or scan with our iOS capture.
-
Enterprise deployment choices: Public cloud, private cloud/VPC, on‑prem or edge, plus SSO and auditability.
-
Built for scale : multi‑floor and campus‑scale Map Sets; seamless transitions. (ARCore), WebXR (Three.js/Babylon), Meta Quest (OpenXR via Unity).
-
Cross‑platform: Unity/AR Foundation, native iOS & Android, Web, and Quest (via Unity/OpenXR).
5‑Step Migration From ASA to Unity
Remove ASA SDK
Change ASA SDK and dependencies. Keep your AR Foundation session and app logic.
Install MultiSet Unity package
Scoped registry or UPM
Initialize client
With endpoint & API key; select Map (e.g., site-A/floor-1).
Swap anchor APIs
Replace ASA anchors with MultiSet Maps or ModelSet (Object Tracking) - import 3D scan or use MultiSet iOS mapper app.
Localize
From the camera stream to obtain device pose within the map coordinate frame.
Key Advantages of Choosing MultiSet as Your Azure Spatial Anchors Alternative
01
Scan-Agnostic Mapping
Use LiDAR, 3D scanner or iOS Pro devices - MultiSet ingests them all. Bring your Matterport, Leica, NavVis, Polycam. Want to migrate from ASA datasets? Start fresh with MultiSet's Mapper app.
03
Lower Total Cost of Ownership
Modern micro-services and pay-as-you-scale pricing cut the vuforia engine replacement cost by up to 50 %.
02
Private, On-Prem & On-Device Deployments
Security teams love our flexible options: public cloud, private cloud, edge server, or fully on-device. Perfect for compliance-driven industries replacing MS Azure hosting.
04
Future-Ready Roadmap
Object Anchors arriving soon on MultiSet, taking you beyond a simple Azure Spatial Anchors replacement while preserving today’s maps and APIs.

Quick FAQ
Q1. Does this work with HoloLens?
A1: If your app is Unity‑based and uses OpenXR, you can integrate via the Unity SDK. Check /docs/devices for current device support.
Q2: Do we need to rescan?
A2: Not necessarily—import E57/Matterport/NavVis/Leica. Use our capture app only where coverage is missing.
Q3: Can we deploy fully on‑prem?
A3: Yes. Use on‑prem or edge deployment options. After initial map sync, localization can run without internet access.
